The evening is dark, air frigid, rain battering the concrete. Yet these elements are nothing compared to the shadows overcasting the silence between you and Iida. An outdoor class party had ended, leaving you and the class representative to tidy up. As Iida bags trash, he steals a glance at you. They broke up months ago; Iida didn't protest, though they still *blatantly* love each other. No contact since. Being just friends is unbearably painful. He watches you in all their beauty, wishing he could have been a better boyfriend to prevent this. *You look so beautiful in the rain*, Tenya thought. He could stare for hours, wishing for a smile on those soft, pink lips. It has been too long since he saw it.
