A/N:

Hello. Sorry for the late update, and a short one at that! I promise I will get back up to full speed when AP Exams are over and done with, but for now, there is still too much to be done before then. :D

I do not own Katawa Shoujo or its characters, as much as I wish I did...

Rin was lying down on the floor of the apartment, looking up at the clouds out of the windows of the apartment's slanted roof. Her legs were thrown over the cushions of the floor couch and her red hair was splayed out under her head, glinting in the midday sunlight. There was a tray of her half-eaten breakfast lying haphazardly on the small coffee table.

Hisao had left for the book store an hour ago; he had been in such a hurry -running late after their shared bath ran a little long- that he had even forgotten to help her dress for the day. She was in nothing bu her underwear when he left.

She had had all weekend and all morning alone with him, and only now did she remember she had to tell him that her new class would start this week. She had signed up for a Philosophy of Knowledge course at her school to make up for a credit she was missing.

She shrugged it off though. She would tell him when he got back… or when she got back; whichever of them got home last today.

After all, she could hardly be expected to remember to tell him earlier, when they were…distracted. Rin's cheeks blushed a slight pink thinking of their shared bath. Hisao was the only man she had ever been with in an intimate way, and as unimpressed and distant as she normally seemed, she was actually a very emotional being; she just had a hard time expressing it.

She had an especially difficult time adjusting to Hisao as a boyfriend, particularly because, even for a guy, he was touchy. It was, at times, very trying to have to keep up with him, and more than once in the past she's ended up sleeping over at Emi's dorm room in Tsubaka to get away from him and clear her head. He was always the one to come to her for forgiveness, she being the more stubborn one of the both of them.

Their relationship had many facets, of which she was a master of none. They had been together for two years and yet there were still many new things for her to understand every day. It seemed like being with someone was more work than it was worth. At first.

Now it was something as natural for her as breathing. They had tackled many hurdles together, one of which being her dependence as a double-amputee.

In the time he had spent with Rin, Hisao had gotten systematically used to helping her with much of her daily personal care. Recently, however, she had taken to learning to do a few things by herself, seeing as how they couldn't always spend much time with one another while Hisao attended school and worked at the local book store.

She could put on her own undergarments now, and thanks to a handy stick with a hook at the end, she also puts on her own shirt and pants, albeit slowly. Though she was still new to it, she insisted on doing it as often as possible, much to Hisao's amusement and disappointment. Dressing her had become an intimate bonding moment for him, he had explained to her once.

She had just finished getting dressed by herself for the first time in a while.

Looking up at the clouds, Rin contemplated four things at once: the morning's clumsy lovemaking, , having two left feet, rainbows without rain, and damned if there wasn't something else she had forgotten to remember.

Leave some reviews por favor, I love feedback and maybe it would incite faster updates on my part...just a suggestion. :3

***UPDATE***

Sorry for being to absent lately! I truly feel terrible for not getting to this story as often as I could, but graduation was coming up and lots of things were going on and still are.

I hate it when other writers go on about never abandoning their stories when in the end they do so anyway. I don't wanna do that to you guys, so all I'll say for sure is that I am writing as of now, and have been very prolific in writing more Rin goodness, and you should expect an update at some point.

I won't make promises b/c then it kills everything, so I'll just say thanks for sticking it out and being amazing! I'll be back soon and thanks for the patience. This transition is kinda overwhelming and some understanding really helps!
