~ ~ ♆ ~ ~ @aquxtic-beast asked: "Sabito," voice calling out softly in attempt to gain the attention of his childhood friend, "what are you doing out here by yourself?" It had been raining rather hard as of late and Giyu was certain he'd told Sabito to stay inside the estate just a few hours ago. Yet, here he was, standing in the middle of a downpour next to the koi pond.

It’s not as if Sabito is unaware of the fact that it’s been raining, the drops ping musically off the metal roof of the Water Hashira estate and drip from the eaves to make puddles around the stairs. The kind of soothing symphony that many humans complain and grumble about, but that Sabito thrives on. It starts to rain and people start to bitch, simply a fact of life---unless there’s a drought.
Giyu absolutely told him to not go outside in the downpour and ‘catch his death’ or whatever, but when has that ever stopped the pinkette? Never, that’s when. Being inside while it’s raining is soothing, yes...being outside in the rain is like stepping into what he imagines nirvana to be like; all encompassing bliss.
The fish don’t mind the rain; they’re swimming about the same as always. Why would they mind a little extra water? It’s their domain, after all. Sabito likes to sit by the pond and watch them whenever he’s stressed, had found his way next to them once more as he stepped out. No umbrella, nothing to shield him from the hard pitter-patter against his hair and skin. Water on his body, blooming flowers and petrichor all around, he feels safe.
Sabito looks over his shoulder to see his partner on the porch and smiles at him. “Ah! There’s Giyu~ What took you so long?”
