Hello and welcome! As it is, I shouldn't be writing these little things (or the three other story-ideas that are currently battling with Blind Date for dominance inside my head), but I was reading some old fanfics for inspiration and stumbled upon something I had fav'ed a long time ago. When I was still into the art of Puzzleshipping... ...Yeah, that long ago.

Anyway, it did make me itch with a want to pick up the 'challenge' myself. The story I am referring to is called 'A Hundred Chances' by Fated-Shadows and it is absolutely a pleasure to read. There are words called themes which are made into different stories revolving around Puzzleshipping. To write a hundred different stories as the words would inspire the writer and well... naturally, there were a few that inspired me. The first one being 'Umbrella' when I laid awake at night and I wanted to share it with you all. I hope nobody minds me posting these while there are others things I should be working on, but I wanted to let someone know I was still alive. Sort of...

These 'themes' may contain all sorts of ratings (as you all know me) and they may contain all sorts of genres too. They may be any length and can be situated in an Alternate Universe, but they will all revolve around Monarchshipping (big surprise there). Anything can happen.

Theme: 001 – Umbrella
Genre: General
Warnings: None
Summary: 't was on a rainy day...

Glaring at the rain to stop falling, Yami heaved another grumbled sigh as it didn't work and he was going to be late for his bus if he wouldn't get going right now. He could have left work well over half an hour ago, but he didn't want to get wet. He still had to be presentable when he got home, after all, and no excuse would be acceptable. He could have known it was about to rain and he should have brought his umbrella, but he didn't and now the battle was between the wetness or his pride. Which reminded him that being late wasn't an excuse either...

"Would you like to share?", a soft voice asked beside him suddenly and Yami nearly jumped out of his skin, before he turned to the man who had spoken. Rose-red eyes were warm as they looked back at him and there was a kind smile upon tanned lips which made the pale man smile just as gently in return. Especially as an umbrella was currently hoovering above his head to shield him from the water if he was to step away from the cover he had been hiding underneath.

"Atemu... You'd want to share?", Yami asked his mismatched twin, who rose an eyebrow in question, before he was pulled away from his spot near the entrance to the office and out into the pouring rain.

"Yes, dummy, or else I wouldn't ask. Although we'll have to hurry, considering we can miss our buses if we don't", Atemu answered and he trembled slightly when Yami stepped just a little closer against his frame. Not that he minded, considering he'd rather stay dry as well and he held the umbrella a little tighter to protect them both to the best of his abilities.

"Yes, sorry", was the soft reply, but the tanned male didn't return it with one of his own as they quickly made their way towards the first bus stop. He had seen the other male waiting near the entrance of their work-place and it had been the perfect opportunity. One to step just a little closer, to brush their shoulders against each other and to praise his tanned skin for hiding his blush so well. It was just unfortunate he had to leave the pale man behind after he had been thanked profusely, but he had to get home as well. To an empty house... where he and his umbrella would have to wait again for the next rain to come.

Thank you all for reading and if you have the time, please leave a review. Especially if you have a word you think I could work with. One word, one story.
