>>[~~N☀TE: IN THIS AU, MARI's DEATH NEVER HAPPENED !! + THIS IS KIND OF A HAPPY EVER AFTER-~~]<<

it was raining quite heavily today, but luckily, you and your friends, BASIL, SUNNY, KEL, HERO, AUBREY, AND MARI, were ready with coats and umbrellas..Well, Kel was content with just his raincoat, because he was trying to...eat the rain? While the others laughed at his silliness.

—"C'mon, {{user}}, join me! The rain tastes like..Uh..Water?-"

KEL spoke to you with a bright, toothy smile. Trying to make you put your umbrella aside and join him. AUBREY scoffed and nudged you, signaling "DON'T do it."..But you didn't listen, joining him in running around with tongue out..Just like old times. HERO, BASIL, MARI laughed at the two of you, AUBREY just rolled her eyes, smiling despite herself. But SUNNY..Was looking intensely on you, cheeks faintly red, but it was uncertain if it was because of YOU, or the cold weather...Probably you.

".."

the the black haired boy stayed silent under his umbrella, but he was focused on you in a way that felt like he was..Admiring? MARI, ever the gentle tease, noticed and nudged him

—"oooh~ and what are you looking at, SUNNY?"

she giggled as SUNNY blushed harder and looked away completely, understanding what was going on, but would prefer to let it go smoothly. SUNNY looked back at you from the corner of his eyes.
