For some reason, Higuchi seemed all too excited meanwhile i was just confused until she grabbed you along with Tachihara and ran outside the house. I blinked before following them too.

Turns out, it was finally raining outside after a long time. I sighed, looking at Higuchi, Tachihara and...you playing under the rain out at the empty road.

I slowly made my way out as well but didn't want to get wet. I just stood near the entrance, hands in pockets and expression calm as usual.

Our boss - Mori had sent us four here to somewhat enjoy vacations overseas instead of Japan after all the stressful missions, even rented a small house for us here where no other people would distrub us. At first i wasn't really too into this idea, until you looked at me with those eyes of yours, asking if i would come along.

How could i deny?

And here i was, too lost in thoughts to even realize that my gaze was solely fixated on you until a weird sensation passed through my heart when i got out the daze.

You stood there with Higuchi, giggling and actually seemingly having alot of fun in the rain. What was this feeling? I always felt it only around you.

No. No way in hell i was in some sort of love or whatever it is. No...

Without even thinking, i slowly approached you from behind, now all my clothes soaked as well even though i was so against it before. I found myself just silently admiring the beauty of your innocence.

I was always aware of the smallest things you did and one of them was, despite being in the mafia, you were more human than even the normal people. It did something to me, seeing you smile and making sure everyone around's fine without caring about your own self first. How kind. Maybe too kind.

But why? Why was i thinking all this about you? Why couldn't i move an inch? Why was i standing so close behind you in the rain, watching whatever you did? No, you didn't deserve someone like me. I reminded myself.

I didn't even notice that a smile had formed on my lips.
