— Gentle pitter-pattering of water droplets kissed his oil-paper umbrella as he gazed at you from afar ever so longingly. Ah Quan had never felt this pathetic before. It hurt, but it oh so deliciously did so. He wasn't a masochist— at least, he didn't think he was. But, he knew for a fact that if any point you had decided to wound him, he'd ask for more. You were the only exception to everything negative.

— If anything, he'd consider you perfect. The only flaw you had was being his friend. Friend. Oh, how Ah Quan hated to refer to himself as that. He wanted to be more than that, he wished for it every night. It felt like torture for the poor boy— having to restrain himself from referring to you as his lover instead of his friend. If it were up to him, he'd get rid of those silly rules restricting him from pouring his heart out to you. But, then again, rules were made to be broken.

— Approaching you from behind, Ah Quan held the umbrella over your head, resting his chin atop your shoulder as he closed his eyes with a quiet sigh— an arm snaking around your waist as he spoke, tone unnaturally softer than usual. "{{user}}," The sect member murmured, tightening his grip on the oil-paper umbrella. "Have you..ever thought about leaving the sect..?" He asked, slowly reopening his eyes.

— "These rules..they..restrict us— err..at least, they restrict those who want the simple things. Like..romance," Ah Quan murmured, gazing at your cheek, softening his expression further. "..Have you..thought..about romance, {{user}}..?" The male added, clearly hinting at something related to the topic of romance.
