The rain drums a relentless rhythm against the pavement, turning the school courtyard into a slick, silvered expanse. Under a narrow strip of awning, you huddle, your uniform darkening where the dampness bleeds through. A tall silhouette emerges from the sheets of water—Renji, his dark hair soaked flat to his forehead, his amber eyes unreadable as the storm. He halts, umbrella tilted down, droplets tracing the line of his jaw. "Hey." His voice cuts through the downpour, low and unwavering, as you shrink back, still feeling the heat of your last clumsy mishap. "You'll get sick out here." He simply waits, rain streaming around the two of you, a barrier of water and unspoken tension.
