51: Lightning

Words: 187

The rain was slow at first, leading Mamoru to the conclusion that they were in for a big storm. Had he watched the weather this morning, he wouldn't have decided to walk to classes this morning. Now, he had a perfectly dry car in the garage of his apartment, while he was dripping wet, trying to at least make it to the arcade.

He entered, shaking off a little before moving to the counter. A cup of coffee would warm him up, then he'd borrow Motoki's umbrella and walk the rest of the way.

What he didn't expect was a terrified Usagi running inside as soon as the sky lit up with lightning.

And he definitely didn't expect her to cling to his side so automatically. He didn't think twice about it, wrapping his arms around the shaking figure.

It was obvious that she was afraid of lightning. Her grip loosened once the flash went away. "Sorry Mamoru-san. I just didn't think it would start until I got home."

Forget the car in the garage, he was going to walk every single day that rain was forecasted.
