The Curious Feeling of Falling – by LC (Makoto/Haru)

Only Haru will ever remember this.

He’s running up a slope to catch the train back home. The canvas under his arm slows him down, though he makes it just in time for the doors to close.

From the window, he sees rain starting to pelt down. He walks over to a seat, though he’s not paying attention to where he’s going. He’s staring at everything outside, the rain, and the lights from the city.

He stands still, realizing that there are no more vacant seats and that he has to stand up for the whole trip.

“Nice weather today, ne?” comes a voice, and he turns to see a tall man wearing big circle glasses looking out the window, just as Haru was a few moments ago.

Haru nods. “Yeah,” he says, before he looks away.

For the rest of the trip, they stand side-by-side, in silence and in awe of the rain. They get off at the same stop, and Haru loses him among a small crowd of people.

This is how they first met, though it’s not how everything starts.
