![]() ![]() ![]() They share an umbrella again, but why? Does she like him? She sticks close, but doesn't have to, and he wonders if she likes him again. Maybe she's teasing or maybe he's rushing to conclusions. No words are said and her face is complicated. It rains. He notices more details about her but shies away after being asked why he's looking at her legs. He accidentally moves the umbrella away from her, but she reaches for it. Hands meet followed by eyes. One stare later she retracts her hand. After apologies the only sounds are his heart, the rain, and their feet. It's awkward. The guy and his heart aren't sure what to do, and it's still awkward. He sees more details, wonders if this is his last chance, but thinks in defiance of his thought. They stop under a tree at the corner where she would turn off, with his insides and mind going more haywire. Names are exchanged and they get embarrassed for a literal minute. He wants to do something but doesn't want to do it. Then the rain stops. The girl notices a rainbow worthy of description. She watches the rainbow; he watches her. Then he has flashbacks to memories of her outside the story about when he first felt in love. She says she'll do better and wishes for mutual luck. Then he thinks she's like a rainbow, and says he likes her. She says she knows and that he was obvious. She puts her lips near his cheek, and he smells her perfume to, and she gives a reply. She pulls back. His mind and heart are still funky. Next step: dating. He asks if she's sure of him and even though she already said it says yes. His heart and mind are still funky. He holds her hands while watching the rainbow. And that's wrap! The ending is expected, but I don't think the exact wording is. As with all the other chapters, short, sweet, and poetic. She seems to have teased him a little bit with the leg stare thing, calling him obvious, and bringing up how she already said yes. Again she has seemed a bit more forward. Though he did initiate the ask, and the timing of the rainbow helped. Once the rainbow appears, it's in the chapter a lot so the title's very appropriate. Now they've got plans to make, but 'this' story is over... Favorite Part: Nijima's remarks. Shows she's genuine and not just being nice about this. Overall: This is the most relaxing story I've read here. I thought it was very short, but think it was appropriately so and that the shortness works to its advantage with its strengths. By design it's a simple story, but I found small surprises in it too. Thank you for writing and posting this story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing happened during the weekends. Our hero has his umbrella and the girl probably has hers. There won't be a 3rd time. She greets her friends and then glances at him followed by mutual smiling. Sharing an umbrella twice was cool enough. There's nothing more; she gave the umbrella back; they haven't talked. He's had other crushes before; he can forget it. He focuses on the girl more than class again and feels sleepy and closes his eyes. Next thing he hears rain, and our hero likes the gloom. He looks at the girl again, feels fuzzy, and decides to keep watching her. School's out, the students leave, and the girl is still there with a friend. Our hero decides to wait until she's a reasonable distance then go. The girl gives her umbrella to her friend perplexing the friend and our hero. She looks back at him, alters his heart rate, smiles, approaches, says his name, and requests to share his umbrella. Welp, against some kind of at least imagined odds, it found a reasonable way to happen a 3rd time. The friend might've forgotten hers so Nijima can just lend hers and just share with Amemiya again. His wish he can't really even think the words of due to shyness came true. Short, sweet, and poetic as always. Amemiya's taste for gloom is...a bit different. Nijima's friend is the closest thing we have so far to a 3rd character. I don't know if it quite qualifies as a character, but it's at least close. Looking at the chapter names...I have a guess to the next chapter's name...Just a guess... Favorite Part: That Nijima has someone to give the umbrella to for likely a practical reason. It makes sharing again more...natural. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Boy is interested in girl, but is unsure if she is. They walk home from school where he let’s borrow the umbrella, a tone that will set the course for their relationship. Amemiya has a chance… or does he? Nah, he does… or does he? The path for Koharu and Amemiya continues on the red line of love. Good story so far. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Our hero changes his shoes at the entrance. The girl greets in close to greet him, raising his heart rate. He thanks her for last chapter. She says they're even and to quit, and gives the umbrella back. She laughs. Like he's there to amuse her? She's happy so it's good. In class he hopes for rain and it does. The sports clubs are sad. On the rainy road home he follows her from a distance at his italic inner urging. She stops and sees him, and our hero kind of wants to say something but doesn't. She smiles but nothing is said. He leaves his umbrella at home deliberately tomorrow. They don't talk. It doesn't rain. The sports clubs are happy. He is disappointed. So this seems to establish that Koharu was being fair and polite. She doesn't seem to have a practical reason to approach Amemiya after the umbrella is returned so she doesn't, which seems normal. So she seems approachable and open, but has no reason to talk. My bet is that he's thinking about what she thinks of him more than she's actually thinking of him, given that he's basically spending classes thinking about her. In his narration he and her are the only two characters. Likely not nothing, but she probably has other things to do and seems to have other people in her life to interact with. 'Call it quits' I found a strange way to word that. I mean forgetting isn't something that's done on purpose (unless it's Amemiya on Friday...). Favorite Part: Praying for rain one day and it works, next day it doesn't. And the sports' mood over that. Funny thing to wish for and note. |
![]() ![]() ![]() The girl is probably not an illusion, but she looks like one. Our hero awaits her words with dread, and she notices that he keeps his distance even under the umbrella. He thinks he's fine if it doesn't get his bag, but she warns him of the sickening rain so he must come closer. Careful not to touch her our hero notices she's half in the rain too. He moves away thinking he's fine if the rain doesn't touch his head, and the girl bumps in closer to keep him dry, and he notices their breathing and blushing like him. After she slows his reflexes they make sure not to bump each other again. Despite some effort our hero can't tell her how he feels. He doesn't want this to end and then it ends. He watches her leave before going home. The story of short and sweet returns. The 2 chapter 'saga' of being under Koharu's purple umbrella has concluded. In this chapter Amemiya's shyness is still in the full effect we've seen in the previous chapters. However, this one shows that Koharu has a similar level of shyness to him, but showed to be a bit more 'able to leap' right now by initiating that bump. Will Amemiya get his umbrella back? Will the drops of rain on his head make him sick? Will he learn the nature of the gossip? Will he learn more about Koharu? Only future chapters will tell. These two should probably consider finding a fun or practical activity together, but would that take away from impact of the umbrella and the rain? I don't know. Favorite Part: Not wanting this to end... Then it ends. I thought this was a fun part to read in this again relaxing chapter. |
![]() ![]() ![]() A little progress I guess. It seems she is just as conscious of him as he is of her. Wondering how they are going to continue to interact after this. So far the only communication is walking home from school together under a single umbrella. I know they say silence is golden, but I wish they actually talked a bit more. Specifically so they actually get to know each other a bit better, but I'm well aware it is still early day. A good quick read, thanks. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Now she is returning the favour, but is she just being kind or is there something more to this already. I'm pretty sure it should be obvious to her that the guy likes her. These chapter are easily digestible, but still cute. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Another cute little chapter, but wish he was able to say a bit more to her. The details of his feelings and nervousness are very well written though. |
![]() ![]() ![]() A nice cute little start to the story. Truth be told when I read the description I was kind of expecting a start like "The angel next door spoils me rotten". But it was just a short cute interaction, and I'm glad his kindness cam through. Small error noticed: Would she be creeped out if I asked her to join me [on] my umbrella? - [under] |
![]() ![]() ![]() Our hero glances at the girl in class and she notices. Our hero thinks he goofed. The teacher declares order. Our hero looks outside and at the girl as opposed to the lessons. Class ends and it rains again and our hero has a serious dilemma if he should ask for the umbrella back or not. It turns out she forgot the umbrella while the class seems to stare. Our hero says he'll hold out until the rain ends and retreats. At the entrance with nowhere to run between rain and apparently physics the girl comes up from behind, and our hero tries to evade, but she turns towards him anyway. It turns out she brought her umbrella and offers to share it with him. It would be his pleasure and then he says so in a way that's awkward to him and makes the girl laugh and the classmates murmur. Short chapters are par for the course with this story. The chapter ending points make sense. This is a very relaxing story in these 3 chapters. This isn't a complex story so far, though I'm not sure what the murmuring is exactly about. That could increase the complexity, but I doubt by much. Most of the obstacles in this story so far are in Amemiya's head. The guy wants to hang out with Koharu but he's afraid of how he might be perceived from hanging out with her. There don't seem to be any specific reasons for the potential embarrassment he imagines; it seems to be just generic concerns. Favorite Part: The fact that she forgot his umbrella, but it turns out she brought her own to share. It seems mildly disappointing, but then the twist flips it to wholesome. And means that care isn't one-sided. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Pretty nice that she shared her umbrella with him. II like the line how love is like the wind. That's a good way to describe love. Of course, you can get wind burns too. ~Sir Scott |
![]() ![]() ![]() Our hero walks with the girl desperate to hold the umbrella right to keep her dry from the rain. He's still kind of shy while the girl seems less so. As he thinks about the size of his umbrella with enough room for both of them part of him is worried about touching her another part of him wants to touch her a bit. After worrying about his reputation of being with her a bit they come to the point where their roads home part. He lives closer so he gives her his umbrella and they go their separate ways. This is a very short chapter. It basically just concludes the walk together through the rain (or at least Amemiya's part of their walk) they started in the first chapter and is mostly expression of his shy, trying to be modest, and attracted feelings he juggles. I question if this is the best stopping place for this chapter, but that may depend on the next chapter. Amemiya expresses clearly contradictory feelings in his descriptions from his attracted and shy/modest feelings. Some of his internal wording feels like it might be slightly TMI, but it is internal. Favorite Part: Giving the girl the umbrella. She has farther to go. In this short chapter it's the only thing he does that isn't just following along, and it is reasonable and sweet. |
