"We're in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?"

Pairing: NozoEli

When she first came to Japan, and when the first time the natural phenomena called rain occurred, she was surprised.

Pleasantly surprised to find water droplets falling out of the skies, the light patter on her skin a huge difference to the hails or snows she got in Russia.

The feeling was just right.


The cool breeze brought the smell of the rain to her, the impeding storm hurrying the crowds of students home.

They were both in the student council room finishing up left over paperwork.

The windows slammed shut, when a particularly strong gust of wind raided the room.

It was cute seeing a slightly flustered Nozomi holding down the papers, practically sprawled across the table.

When she let out an accidental laugh, she had received a pout in return.

"Elichi!" -3-

There was a flash and a gentle roar of thunder, almost as if the sky was chiding her.

The tiny patters on the window pane signaled the start of the storm, yet she couldn't help the excitement that was bubbling up her chest.

"Nozomi, do you want to feel the rain?"


It was rare of her Elichi to show such excitement, and at this moment she was reminded of a child playing in the rain.

Maybe Russia didn't rain often.

The elegant Student Council President had tugged on her sleeves, the smile on her face never leaving.

"Nozomi! Let's go!"

Eli was like an excited kid.

She giggled as they made their way out of school, bags forgotten.

When they reached the courtyard, she was beginning to regret her decision, the strong wind made their way through the flaps of her shirt and it was suddenly too cold.

The rain seemed intimidating, the landscape was covered in shrouds of grey.

There was a sudden tug, and she tripped down the stairs, right into a pair of warm arms.

Water was dripping off golden hair, sliding off her eyelashes and flowing down her chin.

"The rain feels good!"

Elichi was incredibly warm.

And if Eli was here, maybe she could brave any storm.
