[#40] Peyton Bullied Me!
It's my M tendencies coming out again. And my self-whorish tendencies since I want to be in her next batch of pictures in one way or another. :DDDD Kidding, kidding~
So, I wrote Peyton a fic as a prize for working hard with work that she shouldn't even have had. She told me to write whatever I thought she'd like with the prompts of Ohno's Take Me Farther or Ueda's Ai no Hana.
Rainy Day Men

There's nothing like a rainy day for Koyama. Everyone thinks that his favorite kind of day is a sunny one, which would be more fitting to his personality, but nothing compares to a rainy day. He likes the gentle pitter-patter of the rain drops hitting his window pane, and the calming feeling of just staying at home, staring out the window and letting the day pass him by as he sips a cup of tea.
"Waiting?" Ryo asks him.
"No" is Koyama's immediate response, but it's such an open-ended question that Koyama's not quite sure that's the truth.
Ryo makes a noise of acknowledgment before sipping on his own tea and joining Koyama by the window. Koyama doesn't know if Ryo is looking at the same thing he is, or if Ryo thinks this whole thing is fruitless and a strange waste of time. But they still sit there, silent. Watching. Maybe waiting. Maybe just observing the world as it passes before them.
"Anything interesting?" Jin asks.
Koyama cracks a bit of a smile. It's a go figure thing that both Ryo and Jin choose to ask him questions that really don't have a readily easy answer. "Maybe," Koyama answers, breaking off to puff delicately at his tea. It's not too hot at all, but it gives him something to do.
Jin stares at the window intently, but after a few seconds of scrutinizing, he gives up and tugs at Koyama's arm. "We should do something else, not just sit here."
If Ryo's sitting with Koyama at that point, he'll snort at Jin and tell him that anything's more interesting than him. Jin would glare at him, before retorting that Ryo didn't know what interesting was until Jin came around. Ryo laughs whole-heartedly, before shaking his head and getting up.
It's always like this between them. Ryo's more than okay to let the world pass them by and just relax, but Jin has always felt like he should make the most of every second of every minute of every hour of the day. He could never sit still when he knew that there was just so much to enjoy out there. Koyama was a delicate balance between them - in this sense and in many other cases. It was a nice relationship between the three; for all three of them to be able to live together, be together when there were two of them who pretty much came from two different ends of a spectrum. Or really, every spectrum that existed.
Jin always managed to pull them into his way of doing things, and Koyama would leave the window, forgetting about the rain falling so delicately outside in favor of something "interesting," as Jin would call it - like baking (although they end up eating the cake batter more often than not) or singing along to music while cleaning (a task that Ryo insists on after the place becomes too unbearable) or playing all the games they own once (or three times after Jin refuses to lose).
It comes to the point where, no matter what they're doing, Koyama forgets and when he comes back to that same window, the rain has stopped. This is his favorite part of a rainy day, because the sun starts to peek out from behind the dark rain clouds. He can see a hint of a rainbow shimmering in the distance, and Koyama leans one hand against the window and steps forward, as though he can see something more just by moving closer.
"Oh!" Jin exclaims when he sees the rain has stopped. "We should go outside!"
Ryo shakes his head. "Only if you don't try to roll down the hill again."
Jin pouts. "It was fun!" he insists.
"Until you nearly cracked your head open."
"That wasn't as fun," Jin agrees, hand rubbing at the top of his head, as though remembering. "We can just take pictures!" Koyama watches as he rushes to one of the drawers, rummaging for their camera as Ryo cracks a smile as he watches Jin too. They both look away and manage to meet eyes before Ryo shrugs and moves to pull on his jeans.
Koyama turns back to the window and smile. This was it. This was his reason.
It was the calm after the storm that he so loved.
