It was beginning to rain. Sean watched as people either took out and opened up umbrellas, or ran to the nearest buildings to avoid getting wet. He personally didn't mind the rain. Maybe it's because of his water based quirk, or perhaps it was because he just loved water in general, but he always enjoyed getting drenched in the rain. His mother often warned him that he would get sick if he didn't use an umbrella, and sometimes he did get sick. Still, he could never resist the nice feeling of the raindrops pouring on him. It felt like all of the stress of the day was being washed away. So he decided to not take his umbrella out on the way to the market, saving it for when he returned home with the food and other things he needed to buy.
As Sean approached the shopping district, he saw that the place was crowded as usual. Not even the rain could keep the shoppers away. All of the stalls were packed with customers, all of them holding umbrellas. It made Sean stick out a bit, seeing as he was the only one there without an umbrella out. As he made his way into the back of the long line in front of a stall, people glanced at him. He didn't care, though. He was here to buy some food, not worry about what others thought of him. Sean waited in line, wondering how long the rain would last, how long the line was, and whether any villains would show up to cause trouble.

It was a rainy day. But that didnt stop Miku from doing a bit of shopping therapy. Even though she's a plant girl who likes rain. She held an umbrella. After all it would have been unlady like if she went without it and got completely drenched. Especially since she was wearing white clothes. Not to mention there was always a small chance of getting sick.
She walked around Musutafu with a small smile on her face. She wondered if she'd meet her favorite vioinist once again. But maybe, due to rain, it was best that he stayed home. Miku noticed that there were tons of shoppers like her and thought how they had to buy necessities for life before going home. After all, who enjoys a rainy day? Usually rainy days are gloomy days.
While going around, she was one person without an umbrella,he was getting drenched. So Miku happily decided to help out the person and offer him shelter under her umbrella. After all, heroes help civillians in many ways!
She approached the person with no umbrella, but the closer she got, the more familliar he felt

Just how long was this line? Sean wasn't exactly sure how many people were in front of him, but he counted at least fifteen. He was glad he was a patient person, because he'd probably die of boredom otherwise. Ignoring the stares of the nearby people, Sean continued to wait patiently in line, enjoying the rain pouring down on him.
Suddenly, he noticed a girl walking toward him, umbrella in hand. She didn't appear to want to get in line, since she would have headed for the back if that were the case. Did she want to cover him with her umbrella? That was really nice of her if that were the case. Sean felt bad for her, wanting to help out a complete stranger who wasn't even in need of help. As the girl approached him, Sean decided to try to chat with her for a bit. He wanted to apologize for making her come his way for nothing. Also, waiting in line would be far more tolerable with someone to talk to.
Once the girl got to him, Sean smiled at her and started the conversation. "Hi! I'm so sorry if you were worried about me standing in the rain without an umbrella. I'm just a fan of the rain, and water in general." Mentally scolding himself for forgetting his manners, he quickly added, "It's a pleasure to meet you, miss. My name's Sean. What's yours?"

She blinked and was surprised to hear that he didnt mind the rain. So does that mean he went with an umbrella on purpose? Oh shoot. She blushed and was embarassed "Oh..um..ok. I'm sorry"
He then introdouced himself and made things less embarassing and awkward. She then smiled and introdouced herself "Nice to meet you Sean. My name is Miku"
Sean, that was also vaguely familiar. Considering he was around her age, Miku decided to risk it and ask him "Say...I know this might sound odd or random. But, do you by any chance go to UA?"
She was sure that Sean wasnt in her class, but she could have swore to have seen him around UA, maybe in the halls? Or maybe she was just seeing things. But just in case, she had to ask. Judging by his appearance and fondness of rain, she assumed he had some kind of water quirk

So her name was Miku. Sean liked it. A cute name fitting for a cute girl. And she goes to UA like him! "Yeah, I go to UA. I'm in class 1-A." Sean may not really remember all of his classmates yet, but he knew for sure that he never saw Miku in his class. She must obviously be in one of the other classes, then. Maybe 1-B or 1-C.
Sean was now curious. If Miku attends UA, then she likely has a quirk. He wondered what kind of quirk she had. Sean decided to ask her, but first, he would tell her about his. He figured it would be rude to ask her about her quirk without talking about what he could do. "My quirk is water control. Basically, all I have to do is concentrate, and I can move water around as I see fit. It's probably why I don't mind getting wet in the rain."
With that done, it was time to ask Miku what she could do. "So if you don't mind me asking, what kind of quirk do you have?" He didn't know what to expect from her, but to him it didn't matter. Sean had already decided that Miku was cool. He was happy that the line wasn't moving much at the moment, because that meant they could chat a bit more. Sean hoped that this conversation would be the start of a good friendship.

Sean kindly explain that he was a fellow UA student like her. But he went to 1A "1A? That's nice. I'm from 1B" Miku said with a smile
He then explained his quirk which was simple, but super useful. Water Manipulation. He then asked about her quirk, so she explained "I can manipulate plants. I mean, I cant grow them out of thin air. I need soil and seeds. But, once I grow the plant, I can manipulate them. Its nothing much. I mean your Quirk seems much more useful"
She then remembered the umbrella "Oh? Do you want me to get the umbrella away from you, since you like the rain?"
She didnt mind just talking to him and helping him pass the time with the line. Miku wondered if he had to buy something special that made him wait in the long shopping line

words: 247. tag: Miku Hajimari notes: Keeping the wheels of the chat rolling |
Miku was in class 1-B. Sean was a bit sad that they were in different classes, because it would have been cool to chat in class. Still, that wasn't too big a deal. They could still hang out during lunchtime or something. Miku then began talking about her quirk. Plant manipulation seems pretty neat. When Miku pointed out that her quirk wasn't much and that his was more useful, he decided to reassure her. "Hey, don't sell yourself short. Controlling plants is a pretty cool thing to be able to do. Besides, I can't control that much water yet, and in a room with no water, I'm pretty useless." He didn't know if that would help, but at least he tried.
After Miku asked if Sean wanted her to take her umbrella away from him, he shrugged. "It's up to you. I like being wet, but it's no big deal if I'm not. Besides, I'm talking with you, so I'm having fun either way!" After giving her a smile, he added, "I want to thank you, by the way. Waiting in line with nothing to do can get boring."
Sean decided to quickly glance in front of him to see how long the line was. Seven customers remaining. The line was moving a lot faster than he thought. Still, he had some time. He hoped that Miku wasn't getting bored of him, or that he wasn't keeping her from doing whatever she came to the market for.

Once she told him how limited her Quirk was, Sean was kind to reassure her, which made her smile a bit. She didnt quite believe him that his Quirk. But since he just wanted to reassure her, she let it slide. Miku was just so glad to meet a nice boy for once. So far the boys at UA were kind of mean to her, it was a nice to meet someone kind for once.
He was also polite about the umbrella thing. She thought about moving it, but considered it rude since he didnt request it. All he said was that he was 'fine either way'. Next thing he did was thank her "Hm? Oh no. Thank you. I needed this." she needed someone to help her forget about her own crawling worries. Talking to Sean was very relaxing. But there was something else she was wondering. Sean didnt look Japanese and his name was in no way japanese, so Miku asked "Um, excuse me. But do you mind me asking, where are you from? You erm...dont look Japanese?" she shyly asked

Miku had a point. Even tho he didn't like it, that fact was that he resembled his American deadbeat dad more than his Japanese mom. "I was born in the United States. More specifically, Hawaii. I'm actually half Japanese. My mom is from Tokyo, but she went on vacation to Hawaii and met my...dad there." Miku had probably noticed his hesitation on saying the word dad, but he didn't want to go too much into detail. "Years after I was born, my mom left him and we both went back to Japan without him, where we've been living happily ever since."
Before Miku could express any form of worry, Sean quickly said, "Don't worry about it. I don't mind talking about the past. I'm just not a fan of my dad." He was going to ask her what her family was like, but then decided not to. For all he knew, her relationship with her parents could be even worse, and he felt it wasn't appropriate to pry into her family business regardless. Quickly changing the subject, Sean decided to talk about his hobbies. "I always loved to go surfing. Every summer, my mom and I would head to the beach and ride the waves." He checked the line again. Four people in front of him now. "So Miku, what are some things you like to do?"

Miku noticed that he didnt like talking about it. So she focused on the positive side of things "Oh wow Hawaii? That's so cool! My ...erm.. adoptive dad. He's hawaiian too! Told me stuff about it. It sounds pretty. I can imagine it now, the skies, the sea, the beaches. And I bet you're an amazing surfer!" she then shyly looked away "My hobbies though? Not as cool as yours. I just draw. But I'm interested in learning other things like dancing. Oh! Or maybe you could teach me surfing one day!" she happily exclaimed
She saw that Sean wasnt comftarble about talking about his family, so she didnt pursue it at all. Although,she wasnt at all comftarble talking about her background as well. And as much as she dislikes her so called 'adoptive dad', she cant hate him. He did offer her some of the happiest moments and memories of her life. Even though now, things seem bad. She was just too attached to let him go. Dare she say it, she loved him. And when she remembered that she was told that it was best to call the police on him. She just couldnt do it.
But now, talking to Sean, the other hawaiian in her life. He reminded her about some of the good things in her life, and even if he didnt know it, he reminded Miku that she should be proud that she was raised by her 'adoptive dad'. She shouldnt look at the world as if it was black and white. No matter how many mistakes people made, no one was truly evil. She thought that everyone could be redeemed, even her 'adoptive father' But still, there was a moment, a moment where Miku thought if she was far too forgiving of a person.

Miku's adoptive dad was also Hawaiian? That was pretty cool. Sean hoped that her adoptive dad was far better of a person than his own father. He was tired of thinking about that no good piece of garbage, so he went back to the conversation at hand. "Yeah, from what I remember, Hawaii was a pretty fun and chill place. And yeah, I'm good at surfing, but just like my quirk, I mess up if I don't concentrate."
She began talking about her hobbies now. Drawing and dancing may not be as exciting and thrilling as surfing, but he thought they were still really cool. "Hey, drawing is pretty rad. I'd love to see your art one day if you wanted to show me. And I'd bet you would be a great dancer." His eyes lit up when Miku brought up the possibility of him teaching her how to surf. "Sure thing! I'd be happy to show you how. It's really fun once you get the hang of it!"
Sean was sad when he checked the line and only saw two people in front of him. One of them was already paying and getting ready to leave. Time sure seems to fly when having fun. "Hey Miku. Chatting with you was really fun! Could we hang out sometime? Maybe during lunch at school or something." He was happy he had met Miku and he hoped that this conversation would not be their only one.

"True. But you can mess up anything if you dont concentrate, right?"
When he mentioned that he wanted to see her drawings, she blushed soo much because she was embarassed by them. She drew at a level of a kindergartner. Or worse "Um..yea..one day"
Luckily he switched to talk about surfing, she'd love to learn, but then saw that there were only two people ahead. That meant the two soon had to part ways. The next thing that happened was that Sean proposed they meet again, sometime maybe during lunch. "I'd love that!"
She was a bit sad that the two had to part ways soon, but the thought of them meeting at school just made Miku smile.

The rain was slowly beginning to clear now. Sean was a bit upset by that, but it was nothing compared to how upset he was that his conversation with Miku was coming to a close. Still, it was fun, and he was glad he didn't open his umbrella and that Miku had wanted to shield him from the rain. What a strange way for two people to meet.
As the man in front of him began to pay for his stuff, Sean began to smile. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Miku. I hope you have a great rest of the day!" Sean shook her hand and waved goodbye. "See you at school!"
He bought some fish for the dinner his mom was cooking, paid, and began to head back home. No longer raining, Sean looked up at the sky and saw a beautiful rainbow. He took out his phone and took a picture of it. He smiled. This picture would be a reminder of the rendezvous in the rain with his new friend. As he walked away from the market, he thought of Miku, wondering what their next conversation would be about. Smiling, he made a mental note to go to the beach with her one day and teach her how to surf. The fun times were just beginning!
