Scenario #3: Dramatic downpour… guy confesses to girl in a rainstorm, ignoring the potential of getting royally sick.

Confession in the Rain

Heiji/Kazuha


"You're really stupid, you know that?" the girl with the ponytail screamed.

"Me? You're stupid!" the dark-skinned teen responded to the girl that stood two feet in front of him.

It was rather silly, the scene for all of Osaka to see and hear. Two enraged teenagers bickering in the middle of a freak summer rainstorm. They stood there, barking at each other without coats or umbrellas of any kind.

"You're so stupid, you don't even know why!"

"That makes no sense!" he hollered.

"My point exactly!"

"…What!"

She grudgingly sighed, fruitlessly wiping her rain-mixed tears. "I followed you because I wanted to watch." She loved seeing him solve cases. The twinkle, the glow, the smile spreading across his face… When he turned his baseball cap, she saw how happy he was. Oh, and how she loved seeing him happy…

"I told you not to and you nearly got yourself killed!" he growled, pointing to her scarred cheek. "Don't you get it? What if you did get hurt? How do you think I'd be able to live with that?"

"The guilt--!"

"N-no, not guilt!"

"My dad killing you?" she wiped her bangs from her forehead.

"…That too."

"But I didn't get hurt," she reminded.

"You were lucky this time. Who's to say about next time?" he yanked off his cap, ringing moisture from it.

"But--!"

"Just let me take care of you, alright!"

She paused. "You don't have to--!"

"But I want to!"

Silence consumed them and for a while, the only audible sounds were the rain heavily falling to the ground and water running into the storm drains.

She could only stare at him, green eyes wide. She watched as his gaze softened, accompanied with a warm smile. "Let me take care of you," he said again, his tone filled with softness and care.

The unseen tears changed reason to flow when she heard that. She responded the best way she could, seeing as she couldn't find her voice: she jumped forward and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him on the lips. His eyes widened in response, but he recovered quickly. He returned her kiss as he wrapped his arms around her.

It was a rather silly scene: two teenagers kissing passionately in the downpour. It was followed by laughter, him wrapping his arms around her frame and spinning her in circles, before returning her to her feet again for another kiss.

Yes, a rather silly, sweet scene indeed.
