AN: Alright, most of you probably don't know this so listen up, ok? From now 'til September 2nd updates will be coming at

a _very_ slow pace. Why? Because right now I'm not using my own computer. So I can't really update. So, be patient, ok?

Thank ye kindly. (I always wanted to say that!! ^_^)

Disclaimers: Dun own.

Very slight shounen-ai between Rath and Rune if you read really carefully, but other than that...it's all good.

Now presenting:

Water

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Rain.

Rain is Water.

I am in love with Water.

Yes, I should despise it. I am, after all, one who associates with Fire. If you're smart enough, you'll know that Water

puts out Fire.

But I still love it.

Why?

Because, we are both so very lonely.

Yes, it's true that I am surrounded by warm, caring people.

But, I'm different.

So I am alone.

And Water...

Water is so unique...So different...So Water is lonely, just like I am.

I take comfort in the fact that something out there is as lonely as I.

That's why I let it embrace me, letting Water soothe me, let it lull me to sleep...

I let Water comfort me...

Because we are both so very lonely.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

AN: That was definitely one of the strangest one-shots I ever written. Like I said, a little Rath and Rune shounen-ai

if you squint real hard and think about it. But, you can barely see it so...*shrugs*

I hope I didn't waste your time with this random thing I thought of. Yes, it was very random. It came to me when I was

standing in the rain. o.O
