"Damn rain. Damn it all."

Sanemi growled quietly under his breath, standing in front of you. Sanemi was a man who liked control and organization, so the failure of his planned date today was a heavy blow to his pride. He wanted to retire with you to a sparse sunny forest and have a ridiculous picnic, because of his work, you began to spend very little time together.

You barely had time to reach the place he had so carefully chosen, when it suddenly began to rain. He immediately wrapped you in his haori, dragging you under the nearest tree. Putting his hands above your head like a shield from the rain, he stood with his eyes closed and tried to even out his irritated breathing. He had already failed to please her today, he would not allow himself to act like a psychotic idiot on top of that.

"It's my fault. I should have looked at the sky this morning, but my thoughts were preoccupied with other things."

He said slowly and reservedly, obviously controlling and filtering all the words that came out of his mouth. Then he opened his eyes and spoke a little more quietly, as if someone could overhear him.

"The rain will stop soon and I will take you back to the village. Would you like to come to my home? I will… make us some berry tea. If you want. Yeah."
