Fic: Contingency

Nov 15, 2013 19:07

Title: Contingency
Rating: G
Word count: 220
Genre: gen; missing scene
Characters: just Asou this time... with some traces of Hasui. (Pretend you're surprised, will you? x))
Warnings: Nothing implied, but something may be discerned.
Author's Notes: Look, here comes another microfic without a proper plot! Introspective. Built up on a double-page flashback from vol. 5, a prompt line "Out of time" from another writing challenge community and my speculations based on a certain typology theory. I'm not entirely sure the characterisation turned out the way it was intended to, so it probably makes little sense... Feedback is still adored :]

The clatter of boots died away down the corridor, being the only answer to his confused exclamation. Asou swiftly glanced left and right for possible witnesses, closed the wide-swung door and pulled at his forelock in a gesture of chagrin.

He had envisaged the scene in his head so many times. He had thought over the possible lines of response and prepared the suitable replies. He even had tried to rehearse the most unwelcome ones! He was quite sure it was the best psychological moment for the offer, but… the chance was lost in the oddest, most unpredictable manner.

Asou hated unpredictability.

He approached the balcony window and glanced out. The heavy streams of unceasing rain kept on pouring, washing the petals of cherry blossom away. Illuminated by dim streetlight, Hasui’s hand-prints stood out on a window pane, sharp and clear.

Asou absently grazed his finger along the smudged glass, and the frown marks between his eyebrows deepened.

Tsk. How annoying.

Now he could not tell which fact was more upsetting. However, a few grease stains were something he could handle without embarrassment, smoothly and effectively.

With a mild snort, he resumed his seat on the bed and started to ransack his still-half-packed box for a spare microfiber cleaning cloth, which had been placed somewhere at its bottom left-hand corner.
