Chapter IV: As It Rains
The rain was even stronger now and the wind colder than before, blowing wilder.
Loud noises were heard from the outside as trees swayed wildly, causing some of its
branches to break off, hitting the ground with a shattering thud. Just yesterday it was
sunny.. What is this all of a sudden?
The two had found an abandoned cabin in the middle of the forest and had
decided to stay there. The cabin was ancient and it looked really wrecked from the
outside but the inside was okay. The outside was completely covered with green vines
that crawled its way up to the cabin's roof. The roof also has a few cracks, which causes
the inside to have puddles of water from the leak. The inside, however, was completely
empty except for the spider webs on the ceiling, weeds infiltrating through the cracks of
the wooden walls and loose floor boards and dust all over. The window's glasses were
cracked, having some pieces missing. Some of the broken glass shards were found on the
floor, its sharpness edges emanating the little light from the outside. Lightning struck
loudly, its flash causing the pieces of glass to glimmer.
Fuuko sat on a corner and Raiha stood beside her, leaning his back calmly against
the wall. Fuuko's shoes was laid upside down, soaking out the water that had gotten into
it, beside her. She had taken her shoes and socks off, revealing her long, slim feet. She
was soaking wet and her skin was paler than usual. It was ice cold and so were her lips
that also turned pale. She started to shake and shiver slightly.
Raiha's eyes shifted down to Fuuko, noticing that she was shivering out of
draftiness. He took off his soaked tunic and twisted it tightly, casing the water to drip on
the floor. He then hanged it on the edge of the window then sat down beside Fuuko.
Without a moment's hesitation, he pulled her against him in an embrace, causing her eyes
to widen in sudden shock of Raiha's startling action.
"W-what are you..."
"Shh... you're cold," he hushed her softly, leaning his warm cheek against hers,
which was icy. His warmth caused her comfort. She pulled him closer as if desiring more
of his warmth, leaning her face against his neck where most of his warmth was coming
from. He winced some, feeling a throb of somewhat, stinging pain from her frozen skin
against his neck. He could feel her lips tightly pressed against his neck as if drinking his
warmth, sharing it with him. His features suddenly filled with a light shade of crimson as
it started to warm up. He held her close against him with his protective arms, rubbing her
back gently.
'He's... hugging me?' Fuuko thought to herself. No one ever had gotten his close
to her because if they even tried, she'd probably send them flying off to space with her
super punch! '...funny thing is... I like it this way...' His neck was so warm... so soft...
he has a certain scent. Incense? Cologne? Fuuko could not make it up but it really did
smelled good. She tried to fight it, she tried to hesitate but ended up rubbing her face
against his neck closer and closer, her lips was already against it too. Is that considered as
a kiss or what? He could feel this. He could feel all her movements and even her
heartbeat. All he could do is close his eyes and let out a small smile that he tried to hard
to keep hidden but failed to do so.
