Day thirteen: rain


Haruka sighed, staring outside at the rain hitting against the window. They had planned to go out for the day, a movie and then dinner, and with this sudden rainstorm, no one dared to go outside until they know it had passed. And by the looks of it, it wouldn't stop for a long while. Rin was at his side, curled up under the kotatsu, half-asleep and listening to the storm outside and checking his phone every now and again.

They had decided that yesterday, after Makoto had come home from work, that going out for the first time in weeks would be the ideal thing to do that weekend. Haruka didn't have to work, Rin had a free no-practice weekend, and Makoto didn't have any assignments to grade. Thus the ideal movie and dinner date was conceived.

That is, until this storm came through.

Stupid rain..., Haruka thought to himself, feeling Rin shift against him.

Holding freshly-brewed cups of tea and snacks, Makoto smiled at the sight of his boyfriends sulking that their afternoon date had been cancelled because of the weather.

"It might let up soon so maybe we can go to the movies later?" the brunette reasuured, setting the mugs and snacks on the table, sneaking under the warm, heavy blankets and kicking Rin's legs.

The redhead propped himself up on his elbows, yawning. "Mmmph, maybe. But by the sound of things outside, it'll probably just be better if we stay in."

Another unpleased sigh from Haruka.

"...you know, I think there's an ocean documentary on later and Rin and I can take care of cooking duty. I think it's supposed to be mainly about dolphins..." Makoto said, trying to bait Haruka to cheer him up. "We can make mackerel and other things for dinner and I think there's still ice cream for dessert, too?"

Haruka turned his head slightly. "...what time?"

Makoto laughed, popping a piece of cheese in his mouth. "Seven."

"It's a date." Haruka said, touching Makoto's foot with his under the table. "Now get cooking."


"Let me do this, Mako. You'll just burn yourself." Rin swatted Makoto's hands away from the stove. "You can start on the rice."

Makoto pouted, rubbing his stinging hand and attended to the rice cooker. "You could have asked nicely..."

"Alright-" Rin pressed Makoto's back against the fridge, tilting his head up and kissing him deeply. "Please could you make the rice? And now that I'm thinking about it, some steamed veggies too, please?"

The brunette flushed, adjusting his shirt. "F-Fine..."

"Thank youuuuu," Rin thanked, prepping the mackerel to be grilled, just the way he knew Haruka liked it best as Makoto started his own tasks.


Seven o'clock on the dot, the threesome were once again huddled under the warm kotatsu, full of dinner and bowls of ice cream present as Haruka's eyes were affixed to the large bodies of water on their television.

"You're adorable," Rin said, poking Haruka's side with his spoon.

Haruka only made a grunt in response, putting another spoonful of vanilla ice cream in his mouth as he continued to watch the dolphins on the screen jump out of the water with ease.

"Having fun?" Makoto asked.

"Mhmm." Haruka only nodded, eyes not leaving the screen once.


Thankfully, the documentary was only two hours long, and they had gotten through half of it.

But by then, Rin was fast asleep, curled up at Makoto's side as he was fighting off his own drowsiness, and Haruka was still wide awake, fingers running through soft red and brunette strands of hair.

Rin was right, Makoto thought, looking up at Haruka with a smile on his face, head in his lap. Haruka is adorable when watching ocean documentaries.

"Did you see that?" Haruka smiled, pointing at how the pod of dolphins were jumping alongside a boat. "Dolphins are so amazing."

Makoto nodded, nuzzling the side of his face into Haruka's thigh.


"H-Haru..."

Rin slowly opened his eyes, yawning and stretching his arms above his head. He had been moved to the other side of the kotatsu, and sat up to see his lovers very occupied. Haruka was in Makoto's lap, shirt unbuttoned and head thrown back as strong arms were wrapped around his waist and Makoto's mouth biting and licking at his exposed neck.

"No fair..." the redhead whined, pouting. "Of course you two wouldn't wake me up and you had the nerve to move me, too..."

"That's what you get for, ah! Falling asleep during...date night..." Haruka got out, biting his lip.

"You snooze you lose," Makoto added, squeezing Haruka's hips.

It was still raining by the time Makoto had dragged Haruka to the bedroom, Rin trailing behind.
