Shattered Iridescence.

Prompt - Rain.

- a rainfall, rainstorm, or shower.


He watched her walk across; red from head to toe. Red raincoat, red boots, even two high spots of colour on her normally pale cheeks.

(Little Red Riding Hood)

Yori stood beside her as she jumped into each filthy puddle, which splashed water on the white petticoat beneath the red coat. It swished, stained and soaked, about scabbed knees and the tops of scarlet boots. She laughed easily - in a way he never could - and as he watched her laughing he felt vaguely lonely. A feeling he was far too accustomed to. A feeling which should have bothered him, but didn't.

The tree above him shook in the wind and sent down splatters of cold and wet that stuck to his hair and trailed down already frigid skin.

She came towards him step by step and he wished she wouldn't come, for once. He hated to look at the spots of warm, wet, red that stood - demanding attention - on her milky cheeks. He wouldn't smile for fear of her seeing what he wished she wouldn't see.

["What big teeth you have."]

Yuuki, of all people, would recognise the signs.

He reluctantly stepped from the shadows of the trees and the shelter from the elements when her pleas became frantic. She wanted him to join in. She wanted him to have fun. At the gates of the school, the Academy, he saw Kuran's eyes flash red.

Guilt.

He dug his hands deeper into his pockets and prayed she wouldn't see the red which stained the tips of his fingers. The rain wouldn't wash away the sin. She smiled, unaware.

This is the promised prompt of rain/sweet for freyasakura. Next I have the prompt of dance for Sweety8587. Someone called "Zeki!!!!" suggested the prompt of "Lost in the Darkness", come on, love! A prompt is one word; don't be greedy. xD So I'll take that as "lost" or "darkness" because "in" and "the" would be pretty crap prompts.

Thanks for reading!
