"Yet another rainy day," you sighed as you walked home. You pulled the hood of your jacket over your head so you wouldn't get wet. "Stupid rain... It's horrible. I hate it."
"What do you have against it?" a voice asked. You heard footsteps, telling you that the person who'd spoken was trying to catch up with you.
"Hi, Malik," you said without looking at him. It wasn't that you were angry at him or anything. You just didn't want that stupid pink color rising to your cheeks.
You weren't a very social person, preferring to spend your time alone and in silence. But for some reason, when Malik was around, you wanted nothing more than to pour your heart out to him, to talk about all the painful experiences that had made you who you were. You wanted Malik to understand you, to like you.
"Why do you feel like this, Ember?" you'd often ask yourself. "Why, Ember, why?"
But now, as you heard Malik approaching you, something clicked in your mind.
'I love him.'
Love. That had to be it. Otherwise, why would you blush every time you saw him? Why else would you break the beautiful silence to talk to him? ...Why else would you want to be with him... forever?
"Ember?" Malik asked, catching up to you. "Ember, is something wrong?"
You stopped walking, and Malik appeared beside you.
"Ember?" he asked softly, sliding his arm around your shoulders. "What's the matter?"
You turned your head to look at him. His beautiful lavender eyes were full of worry and concern, but there was something else there, too.
'What is it?' you wondered. 'Maybe... maybe he feels the same way I do?' You decided that even if he didn't, you had to tell him. It was now or never.
"Malik," you began in a whisper.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Malik..." You took a deep breath and continued, your voice louder now. "Every time I see you, I get this really weird feeling. My heart doesn't beat for a second, and then it beats too fast. I blush when I look at you. I hear this little voice in my head telling me to grab hold of you and never let go. I want to be with you forever."
Your grey eyes were now sparkling with tears which began to slide down your face. You hoped that the rain would hide the tears from Malik. You hated for people to see you cry.
"Malik, what I'm really trying to say is... I love you."
You expected him to look at you like you were crazy, or simply release you and walk away. But he did neither of these things. He stared at you for a moment, as if debating with himself about something. Then, he pulled you a little closer to him and kissed you.
"Ember... I love you, too..." he whispered when you broke apart.
You embraced him, and he held you close. Suddenly, although silence was your specialty, you felt the irresistable urge to sing.
"Hold me...
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on.
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing's like before..."
You felt raindrops hitting your head as the shower turned into a storm, but this time, you didn't mind. 'I guess the rain isn't so bad after all,' you thought to yourself. 'If it hadn't been falling, none of this ever would have happened.'

I'm sorry this took me so long to do; I had a VERY hectic weekend. Still, I apologize and I hope Thief.King.Bakura likes this.
And to anyone else who read it, I can do a onshot for you, too, if you'd like. Here's my list of what I can write.
Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Avatar the Last Airbender, Sonic the Hedgehog, Teen Titans, Naruto, and Sailor Moon. I MIGHT be able to do a Fruits Basket oneshot. I've only read volume one of the manga, but I know who Kyo and Yuki are, so like I said, maybe. Sorry if your favorite anime isn't on that list, but that's all I know. ^^;
