Kaoru had been dashing, crying as he ran. Zack called him back, chasing him as it rained, chasing him through the halls of the school until they were both outside. It had been something Zack said, something he triggered during their first fight. The younger had broken off into a run, and finally tripped over his careless feet, landing onto the gravel as Zack caught up to him, worry not ceasing to pull away from his features.
Soon, the redhead was in the upperclassman's arms, tears were wiped off as he shielded Kaoru from the rain, feeling the droplets fall onto his face, feeling the coldness of the air. There was a silence, Zack calming the other down, never stopping from saying sorry, until Kaoru moved up to kiss him gently.
And all was forgiven, both laughing about it the next day.
