A Brief Conversation Can Change Your Life

Summary:

“I don’t mind; I love the rain. The way it washes away the dirt and grime from the streets, and waters the plants… Watching it drip from rooftops…”

“…You find entertainment in unique places, Mamimi.”

A rainstorm passes through, stranding Naoto and Mamimi under an overhang. They talk for a while, and soon enough secrets are shared that change their lives for the better.

Dialogue only fic.

Notes:

Trying a new style: dialogue only. :) Why not?

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

     “Ah, Takkun, it’s starting to rain!”

 

     “I can see that, Mamimi. I’m not blind.”

 

     “C’mon, we’ll wait under this overhang until it stops. I didn’t know it was going to rain, so I didn’t bring an umbrella.”

 

     “I hope we don’t have to wait here too long…”

 

     “I don’t mind; I love the rain. The way it washes away the dirt and grime from the streets, and waters the plants… Watching it drip from rooftops…”

 

     “…You find entertainment in unique places, Mamimi.”

 

     “I’m serious, Takkun! It’s pretty. And overcast skies are gorgeous; the lighting is perfect for photography!”

 

     “Yeah?”

 

     “Hey, hey, Takkun! Look this way!”

 

     “What?”

 

     “Smile!”

 

     “Don’t take pictures of me without asking!”

 

     “Awww, I'm sorry, Takkun. Can I still keep the photo though?”

 

     “You already took it, so I guess I don't see why not…”

 

     “Good. It’s going on my wall with the others.”

 

     “…Do you have any shame?”

 

     “Hmmm… How do I answer such a question?”

 

     “…Nevermind, Mamimi.”

 

     “Oh, good; I had absolutely no idea how to answer.”

 

     “You seem to be in a good mood today.”

 

     “Well, the rain is helping. But honestly, Takkun, I’m always happy when I’m with you.”

 

      “That’s not true. I’ve seen you in some tough spots before.”

 

     “But internally, I was content with you by my side.”

 

     “What? Why?”

 

     “Takkun, be serious! No more joking.”

 

     “Who said I’m joking?”

 

     “…You really don’t know?”

 

     “I wouldn’t ask if I knew.”

 

     “Takkun, I like you. A lot.”

 

     “…I don’t know if I believe that.”

 

     “Why not? It’s the truth!”

 

     “I always thought you were clinging to me as a coping mechanism, since my brother broke up with you and moved to America. I thought you were just pretending.”

 

     “…Takkun, don’t say such hurtful things. That’s really mean.”

 

     “Ah, shit, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just… The truth. That’s what I thought.”

 

      “Well, the real truth is that I like you. A lot. I figured you’d’ve known by now, but I guess not…”

 

      “Mamimi, this is… Really embarrassing… But, I’ve been hiding my real feelings from you, for a while now. Because I thought you were faking your feelings for comfort, I never told you how I actually feel about you.”

 

     “Well, I’ve known for a while that you’re physically attracted to me.”

 

     “Anyone can see that. I mean my real thoughts and feelings about you.”

 

     “Well then tell me! I can tell by your tone what you’re probably going to say.”

 

     “Mamimi, I like you, too. I want to date you.”

 

     “See, I knew it! Yay! Takkun is my boyfriend now!”

 

     “…Yeah…”

 

     “What’s wrong?”

 

     “…I’m really happy, honestly. I just wasn’t expecting all this so suddenly.”

 

     “Such is life sometimes. Spontaneous and strange, yet worth every second.”

 

     “Mmm… Mamimi, the rain is stopping.”

 

     “Awww, already? Bummer.”

 

     “Now what?”

 

     “…Wanna sit under the bridge and make out?”

 

     “…That sounds nice.”

 

     “Then let’s go, Takkun!”

Notes:

Naoto x Mamimi is my new favorite ship and I have no idea why.
