A Rainy Day - Elricest Drabble
If the sky darkening from the onslaught of rainclouds didn’t make it obvious that there would soon be a downpour, the fact that Alphonse swore he could smell the rain in the air was. The atmosphere in Resembol changed with the weather and Alphonse thought the rain caused the air to smell different in a more clean, refreshing way.
There was a time when Alphonse disliked the rain out of fear that the water would wash away the only sign that marked his existence but he had grown to cherish each and every sensation no matter how simple or common it was to everyone else.
It wasn’t long before it started to pour. The raindrops were beginning to drench his hair, dripping down from his fringe to his nose, hitting the ground with a loud patter.
“Should’ve brought an umbrella,” Edward groaned, body visibly stiffening in front of him.
His brother disliked the rain since sudden weather changes caused automail ports to ache.
“It’ll be okay, brother!” Alphonse chirped and rested his hands on Edward’s shoulders to gently massage the area between the shoulder blades and the neck.
He felt Edward relax against him and mumbled something along the lines of, “Yeah, sure. If you say so, Al.”
As he continued to massage his brother’s shoulders, he couldn’t help but think back on his previous thoughts of how much he enjoyed each and every sensation… Including being close to his brother on a rainy day.
