♫ DANCING IN THE RAIN
♫ MEGUMI'S PERSPECTIVE

✩°｡⋆⸜ 🎧✮₊˚⊹♡

I step out of the building with [Y/N] after finishing the mission with her. I thought working with a Kyoto student whom I fought against in the exchange event would cause some trouble in completing the mission. But honestly I was shocked, She didn't acted all mighty like the other students of Kyoto and worked alongside me. We didn't even had any disagreements. We're quite compatible while doing missions, but I would never admit it.

The veil that was casted disappeared revealing the sight of the clouded sky. Rain poured down, the drops falling rhythmically on the school playground before us, creating a peaceful symphony that echoes in the silence between me and her. Thankfully we're standing under the shade of school building. I glance at her from the corner of my eye noticing her furrowed brows. Maybe she wanted to leave and get rid off me already.

My lips part as 1 attempt to say something but before I could utter something, She runs off into the rain without a word. The splashing sounds produced by her strides didn't last long as she was already out of my sight. Great where the hell did she even went? Perhaps went to find her manager Nitta and leave. I should wait for Mr. Ijichi to come pick me too.

My mind couldn't help but wander off to the memories of the exchange event. I was almost at her throat before the special grade curse interference, making both of us join forces against it. I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I remembered the moment she bandaged up my forehead after the exchange event since Ms. Shoko was busy. I shook the thought off. It must be because of the teasing Nobara did earlier about me going alone with [Y/N].

I see a figure with umbrella over their head make their way towards me. The umbrella raise up from the complexion of their face revealing LY/NI's face. Her hair drenched, sticking to her face just like her uniform which is all damp and sticked to her figure. I immediately break my gaze from her form. Her lips crooked into a smile. She held out the umbrella to me. Are we going to use only one umbrella? My heart thumps at the thought of sharing a single umbrella with her.

My hand reached out to the umbrella's handle, grasping it. My fingers brushed against her cold fingers which were wet from the downpour.
Despite the mist here, I felt a warm feeling within me. My free hand limp by my side shook slightly. My gaze falls on her face, noticing she's already looking at me. My orbs bore into hers and I don't want to look away from her despite of the nervousness. Her hand on the holder of umbrella moves forward towards mine, Her fingers wrapping around my wrist. I felt my breath stuck in my throat. The mere touch send shivers down my spine yet it felt oddly pleasant.

She pulled me by the hand which was holding the umbrella over us. I tightened my grip on the umbrella while she started spinning also taking me along with her, by holding my same hand which is on the umbrella. Her giggles filled my ears amidst the melody of downpour , as she spun with me. The umbrella rocking back and forth on our heads, eventually the rain water hitting my face. I couldn't tear off my eyes from her face. The way her eyes crinkled as she giggled, spinning me around with her. My heart rate started picking up.

"What're we doing?" I managed to utter some words, finally being able to snap out of the trance I was in. "We're dancing. You were too serious for me" [Y/N] said between her giggles.
I gulp the lump in my throat. I hate feeling so nervous and it always happens around her. "We were on a mission" I reasoned for my behaviour, but that's how I really am. "C'mon you should loosen up a little. You'll look prettier if you smile" Her words made heat rise to my cheeks. Did she called me pretty?. Damn that grin on her face, her words and her for making me feel like this.

"This ain't dancing. It's spinning" I muttered, avoiding to say any sort of reply to her compliment. She sweat dropped and said "You really not know how to enjoy things. Suppose it's dancing then". I bit the inside of my cheek, mentally preparing myself for the move I'm gonna make. Let's see where my heart takes me.
I'm not really the type to make decisions on emotions..but now I would.

I let go of the umbrella's holder, The umbrella falls down. The rain hitting both of us. But all I could feel is warmth, amidst the downpour .
LY/NI's gaze was fixated on my face where rivulets of rain water flows down and she voiced out her concern.

"Won't you catch a cold?"

"Says the one who ran off in rain"

"I..just need a reason to have a break from missions. That's why, besides I got you an umbrella too didn't I?"

"Yeah for what? dancing which is more like spinning?"

"Fine.. I'll admit it. it's spinning. I dont know how to dance "

"I'll show you then what really is dancing in the rain"

I interlock our fingers and moved our hands upwards. My other hand which was by my side, grasped her shoulder ,shaking off the thought going for her waist. I slowly swayed, taking her along with me. She didn't give any reply. I mentally slapped myself. I bet I made her feel uncomfortable or think I'm perverted. Damn it I shouldn't have listened to my heart. My inner turmoil was interrupted when she picked up the pace in our slow dancing.

Her giggles once again added into the symphony made by the rain. Our strides moving across the school's playground. I felt relieved that she wasn't opposed to what I did. And that moment all I could feel was her warmth but I really doubt it was hers. Since I can't shake off the unfamiliar feeling in my chest which made me feel warm. But there's one thing I'm certain of, She's the cause of the warmth I'm feeling in this chilled atmosphere.

"This feels like a dream. As if I'm in a book" And without even trying, a smile crept up my face at her words. This really felt like a dream, we dancing in the rain without a care in the world.
I felt like this for the first time ever and it makes my heart race. She suddenly stopped giggling, staring at me wide eyes while we swayed. And when my gaze met hers I couldn't describe the emotions that we felt but they certainly were similar.

I snapped out of my shock when I felt her slipping away. Instinctively my hand dropped from her shoulder to her waist, steadying her.
The sharp exhale from her due to shock hitting my face, sending shivers down my spine.Oh god save me from the cliché. Holding onto a pretty girl.when she falls while we dance.
Wait..I called her pretty. I mean she is but I'm really getting worked up over her.

Once she regained her footing, She chuckled muttering a thanks. "I guess it's about time I leave. Ms.Nitta must be here for me" She said, pulling away from me. I nodded at her, watching her turn around and walk out of my sight. I picked up the umbrella I dropped.

"Hey Megumi!" I heard her call out to me from distance using my first name, turning her head into my direction. "I dont really know if you enjoyed it or not. But I surely did.. so Thank you!" She flashed me a smile before leaving.
And that day I hoped when we meet again it shall rain.
