Pairing: Len Tsukimori X Kahoko Hino
The morning forecast indicated that there will be rain showers coupled with a few thunderstorms. Normally, the weather would be indecisive and will not meet people's expectation. Well, today was an exception.
Kahoko's birthday is approaching soon, which Amou repeatedly stated as "tomorrow".
Amou kept knocking on Tsukimori Len's reserved practice room and asked him to have a short talk with her. He ducked his head out of the door with an exasperated look on his face. The prying journalist flashed a manila envelope on the prodigy's annoyed demeanor. His hand estimated the weight of the enveloped and decided to open it. His pupils must have doubled in diameter as color leaves his face -they're full of paparazzi shots from when he fell asleep beside Hino Kahoko in his practice room while holding her hand.
"Front and center: Violin Virtuoso's Romantic Rendezvous" Amou Nami spoke of triumph on her one line ace to hook the violinist in her mischievous plan.
There's no way in Vivaldi's name the Ice Prince could escape the power of the press. He swallowed hard and told the journalist, "Your plan, what's this about?"
They hid all the nearby umbrellas she could find. Amou made sure that no soul in Seiso Academy will be a Samaritan and give something that will shield Kahoko from the downpour.
Shoes now wet with moist socks, she's waiting for the midday shower to let up. Looking forward, he hesitantly walks to where she stands with a single umbrella in hand.
Amou, you dirty witch.
He pressed the node on the handle and with one forward stretch, his umbrella opened. Kahoko looked him with hope in her eyes.
"Um,..Tsukimori-kun," he could feel her hesitation in her tone. He felt bad about doing this but he trashed the thought and turned to her.
All you have to do is wait for her to ask.
It was the only thing Amou told him to do once his umbrella's wide open.
"Is is okay if we share your umbrella? I'm sure I left it on the stand, but when I checked it just now, it's missing." she posed.
"Okay."
An umbrella.
Two teenagers.
One rhythm.
"Here's fine, I'll just wait for the bus" she told him while attempting to wait under the shelter. Seeing how the clouds retain their grey shades, the rain's not stopping anytime soon.
This time, he made his own first move.
"You'll just freeze there Hino, I'll walk you home." Can a girl nearly drenched in rain refuse?
The winds were getting stronger. His cream blazer uniform is getting wet though he doesn't pay much attention to it. She does though. The only concern Tsukimori Len has right at that moment was to take her home safely. It's what his mother taught him to do when dealing with girls of all ages.
He knew what he did might put them both at risk and somehow, he kept on thinking about what Amou said to end this plan of hers.
He placed his hand on her shoulder, pulling her close to his side. He whispered, "Happy birthday".
She felt her cheeks grew warm and wished that the road home would extend itself further.

A/N: This entry is originally short as what my other fics look like in terms of length. I really like my entries short but I might be annoying my readers to put them just like that. So along the way, I am making a few changes here and there and hope that I made it better than it was before. I have school tomorrow but I'll try to squeeze another update.
Thank you to Hercolanium for leaving a good comment and cheering me on!
