{ ✤ } “It’s not here! How could I lose my wallet like this?!” Oh how unlucky he found himself to be. He just had it ten minutes ago! The brunet was shopping at the grocery store to get his daily week’s grocery and clearly remembered paying with his wallet.
He had already ran back to the store to search for it, but to his dismay, it was gone that quickly. Did someone pick it up?
Oh, please let it be a decent person who could return it!
Konata stepped out of her room, stretching a little bit. She looked around. Surely one of her roomates had to be around by now? She was still yet to meet someone. She blinked as she walked down the small hall and past the door which enclosed one of her fellow roomates.
“Oh hey, you’re actually here.” She said, although, admittedly, she could have holed herself up in her room so much no one knew she existed either, even though she had been out and about a few times. “Why the long face?” She asked, actually somewhat concerned for her fellow roomate.
{ ✤ } “Ah. Hey there, Izumi-san!” He gave her a nod, surprised to find that his new roommate was waiting for him. She seemed like she was an okay person and he wouldn’t mind making friends with her.
“I was just looking at my exam grade I just got back today. It’s not that great though.”
{ ✤ } “This isn’t good...”
All that studying and he only improved by 1 single mark on his exam... Man, he was pretty average. (Or maybe he was just bad at studying in general)
{ ✤ } “AH-CHOO! I just want to go inside now...”
Aaaaand he can’t stop sneezing. Ah yes, hayfever, the bane of mankind’s existence. He usually wasn’t afflicted by these problems, but the pollen count this year seemed to be higher than usual. At least he was luckier to have lighter sinuses than others though.

Every cloud has a silver lining!
It seemed like the unluckiness of the stranger extended to more than what Ken had first thought: when the green-clad fellow heard him and wheeled himself and his bike over, Ken’s observance meant he spotted the fact said bike was broken. Well, an important chain on it was busted, anyway. Poor guy. Well, at least the other had heard him and could shelter under the bus stop now!
The emptiness of the city at the current time meant that he had little trouble wheeling himself over - but Ken was a bit concerned about the other sitting around in soaking wet clothes still. He blinked, then, his serious continued stare broken by an expressive thanks. "O-oh, that’s okay: I just thought that letting someone know where shelter is was the right thing to do. You don’t have to say thanks."
Usual ‘not- taking-praise-well’ Ken behavior, there.
"That rain sure did come down really quick, huh? I knew it was coming, but I couldn’t even get inside in time. Are you cold? You got super soaked out there…"
Hopefully, his concern would make him feel a less awkward (praise always made him like that.)
{ ✤ } "Yeah, I should have checked the weather forecast today before going out to work, but I woke up late. It's my fault for being careless, I guess!" The teenager shrugged, leaning his bike against the bench of the shelter.
"Huh? Oh, I'm okay! My hoodie's just pretty soaked though. But it's nothing to worry about if I just leave it to dry somewhere." Makoto pulled off his heavily soaked jacket and shook the drops of water from it. His black T-shirt underneath seemed to be dry for now, though he felt a bit chilly. "I'll be fine though!"
And he said that with a little sneeze. Crap.

[ outofluck; i'll finish replies tomorrow after work! ]
Every cloud has a silver lining!
With the voiced agreement of the stranger, the hesitance in his smile evaporated quickly. Now, he had a set course to follow and didn’t have to put into action any of the couple alternative suggestions he had been trying to brainstorm in case his rainy companion gave a polite protest to the contrary.
As he followed the other boy’s explanation of events, it appeared that his speculation had been correct after all. It was almost enough bad luck to make someone feel a little superstitious, but Natsume payed it no real heed. Without a doubt, he was sure that things would balance out and if he could help in that process he would do so wholeheartedly.
"I don’t mind," he answered in a bright tone, as if attempting to chase off the insistent rain with his voice alone. "I hope you get there in time!" Not wanting to remove the protection of his umbrella until the brunet took his leave, Natsume shuffled a little in the bike’s direction to indicate preparedness to be a vigilant guardian in his absence.
{ ✤ } "Thank you so much! You're a nice person!"
"It'll just take me 5 to 10 minutes!"
The brunet did a little grateful bow to the other and adjusted his backpack. Somehow, he was pretty fortunate that people were always helping him. He quickly waited for a few moments for the rain to let down a little, and quickly darted out from underneath the other's umbrella. He gave the blonde a small wave before running down the sidewalk to deliver his pizza.
Thankfully, he delivered the pizza just not too late of his customer's order time within the 10 minutes. With a little gratitude and pity that Makoto had to brave the rain, he received a generous tip and thanked his customer graciously.
Running back quickly to his original destination, it took him no more than ten minutes like he had assumed.
"Hey, I'm back!" Despite being near soaked to the bone and really cold, he couldn't really wipe the optimistic smile off his face. "Thanks so much! Ah- I never got your name."

Will upload some more today.
I like all of this person’s comic strips. If you can speak a little bit of Japanese, I highly recommend you to go to her page and read her works : ) She normally posts about Naegiri, Naegi sibiling, Future Foundation members.
"Hope will spread, so long as we don’t give up. Hope is what helps us push forward. Hope is what gives us courage. Hope is what makes us move. It makes the world go around."
Happy Birthday Naegi Makoto! (February 5th)

Every cloud has a silver lining!
The sky certainly was overcast today, wasn’t it? That was probably part of the reason why Toshi news itself had warned everyone over social media to stay indoors later on tonight: but Ken couldn’t help that he’d had an appointment to go to a few minutes ago. Now, he was simply trying to get back to the apartment as quickly as he could before it rained! (Okay, so he did have his warm jumper and a coat on if he did get caught in the rain, but he didn’t like the idea of getting soaked. He should have brought an umbrella - but he didn’t have one to bring. Mental note to self, buy umbrella with next lot of pocket money.)
Well, at least he could take shelter under the cover of the buildings of the city which had large roofing, if anything. Taking quick, speedy steps :despite his best effort, it didn’t seem like nature was going to wait for him to get to the apartment, as he felt a few drops of rain begin to start. Wasting no time, Ken darted under a nearby shelter-styled bus stop - just in time, too, because it began to pour down as soon as he did so.
Phew. That was close - but the squeaking of bike wheels alerted him from his relief. Oh - it seemed like someone nearby hadn’t been quite as lucky. Standing up from the seat of the shelter, Ken waved as energetically as he could to get the other’s attention: they could come under the bus shelter here so they didn’t get any more soaked, right?
"Hey, over here! You’ll catch a cold if you stand out in the rain…"
Hopefully the stranger heard him, though, over all the rain.
{ ✤ } "God, did I make you angry or something?"
What in the world did he do to deserve getting rained on a day like this? He was just an average high school student trying to pay his bills and rent. And today was payday too... All his plans of finishing his job early and getting his paycheck today to go treat himself to a new CD of Maizono-san... were drenched in failure by the rain and his broken bike chain.
Makoto heaved a heavy sigh, wheeling his broken bike in the downpour. To top it off, he was probably going to catch a cold too if he couldn't find a place to wait out in the rain.
Mumbling his woes to himself in the rain as he continued on, he heard a voice call out to him, and saw a boy waving at him in a bus shelter across the street. Oh! He could stay out of the rain there and wait.
Quickly, darting across the empty street (there was no traffic incoming-- was everyone aware of today's forecast? He should be more mindful to check the news), Makoto hauled himself under the bike shelter, sighing in relief.
"Phew! Hey, thanks! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't called out to me."
Every cloud has a silver lining!
"Ah, well… that’s alright." He had gotten a few bouts of poor luck himself, mostly when his cat was concerned. Though, perhaps that wasn’t so much bad luck as Nyanko-sensei’s mischievous nature landing them in trouble.
He adjusted his hold on the umbrella slightly, at a loss for words in the absence of any knowledge of what the other had been intending to do before being caught in the rain. He couldn’t speak with certainty on the matter, but if the fallen bicycle was any indication, the brunet’s bad luck was more extensive than he’d thought. Of course, there was only one way to discover the answer to that question. With a little smile that betrayed a hint of awkwardness at asking so outright, he began. “Do you need any help?”
"I don’t have anywhere I need to be, so I’d be glad to give you a hand. Maybe having someone else around will thin out the bad luck, too." The words were tacked on quickly, foreseeing the fact that most people wouldn’t wish to trouble a stranger who likely had a destination of their own to reach.
{ ✤ } If it was a normal meeting, naturally he would be feeling the awkwardness of meeting and already imposing on such a kind person. However, right now, the brunet was very worried about getting his job done right and extremely grateful to be offered help.
"That would be great if you could lend me a hand! Thanks!" He gave a relieved smile at the blonde, thanking his ironically fortunate luck that a passerby came by in his time of dire need.
"You see, I was in the middle of my job delivering pizzas, and my bike chain broke on the way to my last customer. I was about to haul my bike along by foot but then it started raining." He pointed to the broken chain, and shook his head. "The customer's house isn't actually too far from this spot so I can run there really fast to deliver it but I don't want to leave my bike hanging here."
"Do you mind if you can look after it for a bit while I finish my job?"
