Author's Note:
I must say, Between You and Me is way longer than I expected—I thought that I'd write ten drabbles for this, tops. Thank you readers, for sticking by me and my fickle muse!
A little drama in this one, because scars are always there.

#51 – Rain
She finds him standing in the middle of the courtyard, standing ever so still in the pouring rain, face upturned in the dark night sky. A practice sword hangs limp in his hand, and she doesn't know if it's sweat or the rain soaking his clothes.
She approaches him, and pauses when she sees his broad shoulders hunch up, as if a beast sensing an enemy near, but continues towards him. Slowly, hesitantly, she reaches for his fist, enclosing it between her own as she leans forward to touch her forehead against his back. She closes her eyes, useless words of comfort stuck in her throat.
It seems like an eternity, but she feels more than sees his shoulders start to shake, yet he never lowers his head. She never raises her head, and holds back her tears.
It isn't the last time.
