Rain Resemblance

It had been raining from the morning onwards without a single break. The rain started as a pitter-patter, and continued as a drizzle often regaining its momentum and pouring down heavily. But Akihiko was sure that he hadn't spotted the clear blue of the sky even for a fraction of a second, it was always grey and semi-dark creating a mist of water and an illusion of dreamy atmosphere when the bright Sun was hiding safely behind the gloomy and free clouds.

There was nothing much to do and Akihiko was waiting impatiently for the right time to bring Misaki home. The calm and cool weather and the soothing sound of the rain were reminding Akihiko of Misaki's small gestures and features making his desire to love his lover, eager and enliven.

Misaki was just like the rain, so fragile yet so arrogant, so innocent yet getting spoiled by falling on the ground, so lively that it could wash away everything and refresh the lost and dirty earth….

Just like the rain, only Misaki was capable of making Akihiko happy, Akihiko thought harder and realized that Misaki was the one who made Akihiko the happiest.

The clock eventually indicated that it was time for Akihiko to drive his car. But Akihiko didn't feel like doing the latter. He looked at the falling rain; Akihiko would definitely never lose the golden opportunity to drench in the rain which resembled Misaki in so many ways.

Looking at the umbrella he frowned. He wanted to get wet under the rain not talk a walk with the boring umbrella.

-

Misaki looked at the soaked and grinning Akihiko waiting at the gate for him. Sure Akihiko looked too handsome, as everything was almost visible from underneath that wet and transparent shirt and the wet hair sticking to the older man's forehead in a completely random way was too beautiful but it wasn't a freaking fashion show, it was raining and it was cold, and Akihiko was a human who could get ill.

'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? WHERE IS YOU CAR?'

Misaki started yelling at his lover before he could even get within the man's reach. He almost rushed towards Akihiko and shielded the soaked rabbit with his umbrella, which was completely useless as no part of Akihiko was still dry.

'It's in the garage.'

Akihiko replied smiling satisfactorily. He was happy to make Misaki worried and angry, just how the wind teased the raindrops…

'I can see that, you will catch a cold like this, come on let's hurry home.'

Misaki said and pulled Akihiko by his hand. His anxiety for Akihiko's health issues had totally taken over his shyness and hesitation of holding Akihiko's hand in public. Akihiko couldn't help but smile more.

Misaki was far more precious than the rain to him, only Misaki could love him so much….

It had had been difficult for Misaki to walk home as his hand was constantly massaged by Akihiko's cold fingers. And whenever Misaki had had asked the reason for Akihiko's unusual and excess happiness, the reply had had been the same.

And the reply was still the same when Misaki had reached home and was drying Akihiko's hair with a towel.

'Because I love you Misaki.'

Misaki sighed and shuddered.

'Usagi-san, can you promise me something?'

'What Misaki?'

Akihiko asked tiling back his head and keeping it on Misaki's thigh. The warmth radiating from Akihiko's eyes was melting Misaki, convincing the submissive lover to care more for the careless author.

'Take an umbrella with you when you are going out in the rain.'

'Only if you are with me Misaki.'

Misaki frowned.

'What kind of stupid condition is that?'

'It's not stupid, it's romantic Misaki.'

Akihiko said, playing with Misaki's fingers on his shoulder.

'How so?'

Akihiko smirked admiring Misaki's cute pout.

'Because when its rains I miss you more Misaki and if you promise to stay with me always I will have a reason to protect myself.'

Misaki was speechless, he was never a genius in handling emotional situations neither he was a great romance novelist.

'Okay I will stay.'

Rain could surprise people with her charm to bring harmony and her ability to summon new lives and Misaki was no less, making Akihiko shocked by his words and commitments, leaving behind a fluttering feeling in Akihiko's heart. But before Akihiko could reward Misaki properly, Misaki got up.

'Misaki where are you going?'

'I need to pee.'

Misaki was a bad liar and Akihiko could read Misaki like an open book. The fair face of Misaki was red, just the right shade to make him look adorable.

Misaki got agitated when he saw Akihiko following him.

'Hey where are you going?'

'Misaki we just promised that we will stay together forever.'

Akihiko was dying to get drenched in the rain of the real Misaki……
