┏━━━━°⌜ ɴᴇᴡ ⌟°━━━━┓
The skies were dark and gloomy today, it seemed that the weather forecast today wasn't precise. Truthfully speaking, weather forecasts seemed to always make mistakes on their information like when they say that it's going to rain today and then later on it'll be sunny.
The (h/c) haired girl tapped on her pastel notebook with her mechanical pencil, she turned her head to the side and looked at the dark sky outside. She sighed when she realized that she had forgotten her umbrella at home.
Despite being in a wealthy family, (Name) insists on walking instead of being driven to school since her home was not that far away. Plus, (Name) loves to look around their fields of crops for peace and calmness, their farmers there were very nice and honest at the bills.
(Name) is the heir of their business, so she was taught on how to handle it by Aiko, and on free times, (Name) would always read business related books in advance so that she can help her grandmother whose eyesight became worse by the time she became eighty years old.
Feeling sullen, (Name) slumped down on her chair but still takes notes on what the teachers writes on the board. She stared forward with her bored eyes as her mind drifts away in wonderland, thinking of how she'll be able to go home today.
She possibly can't just call her driver at home after insisting that she'll walk instead, guess she'll just have to walk under the rain.
It's been a while since (Name)'s been wet because of the rain, she was mostly locked up in her room, reading books while other teens her age go out just to have fun.
Not soon after, the bell rang loudly around the hallways, once again reminding the students and teachers that class hours are now finished. (Name)'s current teacher sighed exasperatedly since he still wasn't done with his discussion. He dismissed the class and left with shoulders slumped.
The students packed up their things and immediately left with their friends since there was already small droplets of water appearing on the dry ground.
(Name) was not approached by Bam today, it was unusual since every break time and every after class, the male would always seem to approach (Name) and ask her to join him, which (Name) always replies with a small 'yes' or 'okay's since she's afraid to say no to Bam after she saw how he is back at the storage room.
The girl looked at Bam's way after she finished packing her things, it seems that he was busy with some group work they had earlier. She stared at Bam's figure for a brief moment before walking out of the her classroom in a slow manner.
The hallway she was walking into was now coloured with dark and grey, her steps on the tiles reverberated at each step she takes. She stopped walking when she was already at the ground floor under the shade and stared forward since it was already raining heavily.
She reached out hand and felt the gentle droplets of the rain, she sighed as she gazed at her wet hand, she retreated her hand when she heard a rumble in the sky.
(Name) took a step forward and then began walking in the rain, she didn't have to worry for her notebooks getting wet since her bag was water proof and has good quality, her grandmother is great at picking good quality products.
Her (h/c) hair was sticking on the frame of her face, but she didn't mind it, she continued to walk nonchalantly. She loved the feeling of coldness on her skin.
She was having fun under the rain until a truck passed by with high speed, making the pool of dirty water on the street splash on (Name). Great, now her uniform had splashes of mud now, she looked down on her clothing and tried to remove the dots of mud.
Suddenly, the feeling of the rain on her skin stopped. Feeling confused, (Name) looked up and was greeted with a black umbrella. She turned her head to the person holding the umbrella and to her surprise, it was Bam.
"You're gonna get sick if you play under the rain." The golden eyed male spoke with concern lacing in his voice and worry filling his eyes.
"Oh, thank you.." (Name) said as she stared down at her embarassing clothing.
Bam actually wanted to walk with (Name) but the group work held him back, his group mates were just utterly useless except Khun since he was the one who suggested that Bam should run after (Name) because the sky blue haired male was getting annoyed on how Bam kept on looking at the activity and at the window, looking for a certain someone.
He stared at the girl's uniform and felt a blush creep up his neck when he saw (Name)'s undergarments. He took off his jacket and placed it on the girl's shoulder to keep her warm and to cover her body.
"Please zip up the zipper." He asked as he held up the umbrella closer to the girl so that she wouldn't get even drenched. (Name) did as told, she could smell Bam's pleasant cinnamon scent on the jacket, she couldn't help but suddenly feel warm. She snuggled on to the warm jacket and began walking with the male.
She had been feeling comfortable around Bam these days, all Bam did to her was be nice and offer her things like heart shaped keychains almost everyday and (Name) kept those by placing it on the zipper of her bag.
Nowadays, Bam couldn't keep his mind off (Name) and the 'fated pair' thing that Khun mentioned the other day. Bam believes that his pair was none other than (Name), he kept on looking for her and longing for her warm yet cold presence.
Bam turned his head to the side and looked at (Name) wet face, he stared lovingly at the girl, his eyes twinkling with just the look of the girl's face. His heart skipping a beat as his shoulder brush against (Name)'s.
He's became attached her for quite a while now-- no, he's already attached to her ever since both of them were still child. He's been attracted not only to her sweet scent but to her unique personality.
(Name) may have rejected Bam many times by being simply mean and rude but Bam had already forgiven her from her mistakes back at the time she did it.
The two walked with one umbrella under the rain. Truthfully, Bam wanted this moment to happen, it's the reason why he always had an umbrella with him. He got this idea from the romance dramas that his mother watches everytime she gets any kind of free time.
The (h/c) haired girl couldn't help but thinksof 'Ai-Ai Gasa' where 'Ai' means love and 'gasa' means umbrella in Japanese. Where two people, especially a man and a woman, sharing an umbrella under the rain is considered as a symbol of romance in Japan.
Symbol of romance.
Fated pair.
(Name)'s heart beats loudly on the cage of her chest, she gripped the ends of Bam's comfy jacket as she tries to prevent herself from blushing. She felt warm inside despite with the cold weathering surrounding her.
"A-are you feeling cold? We can go to my house if you are." Bam wanted to smack himself for stuttering.
"No need for that, I liked the feeling of cold."
(Name) answered and at the same time shook her head, refusing Bam's offer. She wasn't ready to be in Bam's home, being there would probably too much for her heart, so maybe next time when Bam asks again.
The dark brown haired male's brows furrowed upon hearing (Name)'s reply before saying, "You sure? You're looking quite pale.."
"I am?"
"Yeah, you know what. Let's go to my home, it's only a five minute walk from here." Bam said and began walking faster, he took a hold of the girl's hand unconsciously. He didn't give the girl a chance to reply, so (Name) once again had no choice but to comply.
If he knew what he was doing them Bam would've blushed and his mind wouldn't function properly by the fast that he had just held (Name)'s hand.
Within a few minutes, the two finally got to thr male's house. Bam opened the gate to his house with the finger print access, he then made sure that (Name) was under the shade first before closing his black umbrella He didn't bother to knock since Bam was usually alone, except his uncle, Urek visits sometimes to check up on how his nephew was doing.
Bam opened the door with his keys, he took off his shoes after he closed the door behind his back. He then looked at (Name)'s wet clothes first before rushing off to get the fluffiest towel he owns.
The male came back before the clock hit one minute, placed the towel above (Name)'s shoulder, making sure that she was warm enough. He placed a hand over (Name)'s cheeks and caressed it gently, he moved the strands of hair that was a hinder on seeing the girl's full face.
Bam's bold action both surprised (Name) and himself, he quickly retracted his hand to his side as his face began to burn from embrassment.
"Honey? You're already ho--" The brown haired woman yelled as she walked to the front door, only to be greeted by her son with a girl. Her baby, Bam, had just brought a girl home. She slapped a hand over her gaping mouth to prevent any weird noises from coming out.
"Oh my.." Arlene was awestruck but then quickly composed herself when she saw (Name)'s wet clothes. She walked up to the drenched girl and took her hand before saying, "Come on, dear. I'll get you some clothes."
The mother gave Bam a wink who was obviously staring at (Name). Bam didn't expect that his mother would be home early today since Arlene often have emergency meetings back at her company.
"What's your name, hun?"
"(Name) (Last Name)." The girl said in a quiet voice, she didn't want to reveal her name to Arlene since she will remember what (Name) did when she was a child.
"Oh! I remember you, your grandmother is Aiko right?" Arlene said with a soft smile present on her face as she reminisced on her small talk with the nice old lady. She didn't mind that (Name) did something to Bam when they were kids, past is past and there was no need to dwell on it.
"Yes." (Name) answered, she was glad that Arlene didn't ask about her past. She was kind of sensitive on remembering it. It was painful to remember her own mother, crying loudly on the other side of the door.
The (h/c) haired girl was agreeing to everything that Arlene and Bam says, she was loving how sweet Bam's mother's voice is, even her movements were graceful and full of care.
(Name)'s mother only did this before her father cheated.
"You should wear this. This one's really comfortable." Arlene said as she pulled up a sweater that belongs to her son, she was sure that (Name) would like Bam's clothing.
After all, (Name) seemed comfortable in Bam's jacket.
