Romance in Rain
The grey clouds flecked the wide and open canvas of the gloomy sky. And slowly when the rain came down on the already muddy earth and wet city, the heavy clouds began to dissipate. The rain coated every exposed object and rejuvenated them with its rosy touch.
Misaki watched from the window as couples walked down the road making the lucky umbrella as an excuse to come closer. There had been many circumstances where Misaki had had to drench in the rain but he had never experienced the joy of sharing the rain with someone else close to his heart. He had never been able to enjoy the rain with Usagi-san….
'Misaki?'
Akihiko was worried when he saw the saddened face of his lover. The dim light of the hidden Sun behind the gigantic dark clouds illuminated Misaki face faintly but it helped to state the empty feeling in Misaki's heart clearly.
'…'
No words came out of Misaki's lips when his jaded and dismayed eyes met with Akihiko's violet and vigilant ones. Somehow he wanted Akihiko to understand everything without him saying anything.
Misaki was confused about what he exactly wanted as the source of his every happiness was standing right infront of him, waiting for him.
'Misaki did someone say something to you?'
'No Usagi-san'
Something in Misaki's weakening heart kept on sinking down as Akihiko panicked and tried to comprehend his feelings.
Akihiko grew more anxious when he saw his lover's eyes trembling not with sorrow but with uncertainty and insecurity.
'Misaki what is it, tell me.'
'Usagi-san I… I want something…'
Akihiko's eyes widened with surprise and happiness. For the first time Misaki had wanted something from him and he would do anything to give Misaki that.
His eyes softened and he touched Misaki's cheek with brittle gentleness.
'What do you want Misaki? I will give you anything.'
Misaki hesitated; his heart throbbed so fast that he couldn't hear anything except for his heartbeat and the falling rain.
'The rain… lets drench.'
Akihiko was baffled and stood still, trying to understand how cute and innocent Misaki was. Of all the things, Misaki wanted to get wet in the rain and he chose him as his partner.
Grasping Misaki's hand, they headed towards the roof.
'Let's go Misaki.'
Misaki never knew saying things were so easy and simple. His entire body tingled with anticipation as Akihiko led him upstairs.
They stood still as the rain covered them and soaked them with its cool essence. Misaki was too afraid to look at the blissful face of Akihiko but he could tell that Akihiko was happy. The usual cold hands of Akihiko were warmer than him just like the time when he had confessed his love to Akihiko….
'Misaki, I love you.'
Akihiko whispered and Misaki was sure that he heard Akihiko's voice trembling like he was crying….
Misaki's heart clenched at the thought of Akihiko crying. He looked at the man who was smiling, facing the shattering sky with his eyes closed. The pouring raindrops made it difficult for Misaki to realize if Akihiko was crying.
'Usagi-san..'
'Misaki I want to kiss you.'
A rush of warmth erupted in Misaki as he saw the jovial and yearning face of his lover. He couldn't deny it, he couldn't resist when Akihiko leaned to capture his lips. All he could do was to warp his arms around Akihiko's broad shoulders when warm lips touched and teased his.
'Misaki I like your idea of romance in rain.'
Misaki blushed red and protested.
'I just wanted to get wet.'
Akihiko grinned and slipped his hand under Misaki's pants.
'You are wet Misaki.'
'YOU PERVERT I AM TALKING ABOUT THE RAIN.'
'I know and I am happy that you have chosen me Misaki.'
Akihiko hugged Misaki taking in the smell of the rain on Misaki's body.
Misaki wished that the rain would keep on falling till the turbulent and immense happiness in his heart subsided…..
