Drabble #1 One Corner of a Wall

Minami Kotori x Sonoda Umi

A/N: A random evening together. (P.S. This is a bit of a hint towards Umi-chan who apparently, is a closet pervert.)

"I'm home." Blue hair opened the door knob to the shared home, and then removed her shoes after locking it. She neatly placed her Archery equipment on a rack beside the shoes and put on her indoor slippers. Footsteps came running towards her, and not long a ball of grey threw itself towards her.

She dropped her bag and caught the object with both arms. "Welcome home." Kotori grinned at her.

Umi returned the hug, and then patted her head before starting to stroke her hair. "What brought this on?" She asked confusingly.

Kotori looked at her then smiled with a blush. "Nothing~ hehe~" She untangled herself from the confused archer then walked away. "Get changed~ Dinner is about ready."

"Kotori, I told you, you don't have to do that every day, I can—"

"I know you're always tired from Archery Training since the competition is near, so it's on me until that's done~" Kotori answered in a sing-song voice. Umi could only sigh then proceed to her room and change.

After dinner, they usually lazed around the living room, either cuddled together or all-over each other, although they're almost the same anyway. The thunder suddenly roared outside, startling Kotori and tightening her hold onto Umi's arm as they watched the currently thriller film on the TV.

"Was it going to rain today?" Umi wondered aloud.

"The morning said they'll just be thunderstorms though." Kotori answered focusing her eyes on the television.

Umi dismissed the alarming loudness of the thunderstorm with an 'I see' then resumed watching when she started noticing the sound of heavy droplets on the roof. "It's raining?"

"Seems so." Kotori frowned. "Ah, that reminds me. Come with me here for a sec."

Umi wondered what was up, until Kotori had led her to the end of the hallway, right in front of the door of the bathroom. Worried yellow eyes stared at the corner of a wall, while another pair of confused yellow ones followed. At the end was a flow of liquid that seemed to be rain water.

"Ah, the roof had started leaking." Umi spoke again, when a thunder immediately struck with a loud boom. Kotori had flung herself towards the blue haired female, arms tightly wrapped around her waist. She immediately blushed at the sensation of two full mounds pressing on her back. "K- K- Koto—"

Then another thunder strike. Kotori flinched a little, making her hug Umi tighter.

Umi felt like her mind was swirling. There were two nice mounds perfectly pressed on her back. They were so soft like marshmallows, that Umi actually wondered how they would feel on her ha—"I don't have time to be thinking about such things!"

"U- Umi-chan…" Kotori uttered her name in that pleading tone that Umi has been so weak of. "Umi-chan, it's scary."

Umi turned around to face Kotori, only to find those nice breasts pressing right under her own. She was trying her best not to grin, and suppress the blush that's trying to creep their way to her face. "It'll be oka—"

Then another thunder strike. Kotori jumped and unconsciously pushed Umi towards the corner of the wall where water had been accumulating earlier because of the rain. Although not normally clumsy and with good reflexes, Umi had slipped onto the puddle of water and slipped downwards, taking the scared Kotori with her.

Umi just realized now how they positioned now. Kotori basically sat inside her legs, arms still around her waist seeking for salvage towards the mean (but good) thunder strikes.

"Umi-chan…"

Then it hit her. "Was Kotori really scared of the thunder?" She thought of the days that they had been together during a thunderstorm. Kotori had kept talking, or she always sang or she always talked to Honoka. When they were children, they always played together during times like this, she never really noticed.

"Umi-chan…" Kotori looked up at her, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"No, No, No! Not the waterworks!" Umi immediately tried to think of a remedy for this situation. She's not good at doing small talk, and she doubts that she has any conversation that could keep Kotori talking until she can learn to ignore the thunderstorm until they stopped. She could carry her to her bedroom and watch her until she could sleep but that wouldn't really help anything.

The leak at the corner of the roof was still reeking of water. Umi had ignored about how her back and her behind was wet from the puddle of the rainwater that had gotten inside their home. Her main concern was Kotori. How can she help Kotori ignore the thunderstorms when Honoka is not around?

The lights started blinking, and then later on they were covered in darkness. Their only illumination was the emergency light from the living room that would probably run out in about four hours. With the darkness, Umi couldn't see what kind of face Kotori was making, until she felt hands clung onto her clothes tightly, and suppressed crying sounds coming directly from around her chest.

Kotori had cried.

"Damn you, thunderstorm." Umi thought, staring begrudgingly on the roof.

"Umi-chan…"

Umi panicked. She didn't know how to deal well with a crying Kotori. She never made Kotori cry. "DAMN YOU, THUNDER." She cursed in her brain, and then protectively wrapped her arms around Kotori's shoulders. Then an idea hit her, something that, maybe only she could do. She blushed.

Another thunder hit, a bit louder than the one before it. Then silence again, with the only sound of quick drops of rain on their roof, and the occasionally lighting of the room due to the thunder.

Umi inhaled deeply, and exhaled. She removed an arm from Kotori's shoulder and made her other hug her tighter. "Kotori."

Yellow eyes widened, when warm lips covered her own. Kotori, realizing that this was probably Umi's chosen way to protect her from the mean!Thunder, she closed her eyes and let herself melt into those warm lips.

With her free hand, Umi rested it right behind Kotori's head to encourage her to continue kissing. It was her only way to completely distract the female, and she sure hope it's going to work. Another thunder struck, but Kotori didn't make any kind of movement that showed of her noticing it. Umi smiled onto their kiss.

A kiss does do their magic.
