Petrichor

It began to rain on Whale Island, the pitter-patter upon the rooftops.

All Gon and Killua could do was stare out the bay window, slightly disappointed that their afternoon plans were on the backburner.

Killua scowled, arms crossed, but he looked to Gon, who only looked out the open window, watching as the grey clouds brought the rainstorm to the island.

"Hey, Gon, what're you looking at?" Killua asked, arching an eyebrow.

Gon turned to face the other boy, and he smiled sheepishly. "Hm? Oh, it's just the rain, this storm, it looks incredible." He replied. "I know it's not fun to stay inside, but the rain, it's nice to watch, you know?"

Killua's scowl faded, and he couldn't hold a grin. "Huh, can't say I ever thought of that."

Gon nodded. "Yup!" He took a big whiff of the air. "And the rain smells great too!"

Killua blinked, and he then laughed aloud. "You're really something else, you know that?"

Gon blinked, and he laughed too. "I could say the same to you."
