Rare Pair Week #1 - Rain
The media represented love as a lot of things, and Isogai wasn’t sure he agreed with all of them. He thought about others a lot, but some of the blind devotion he saw made him rather concerned. He would have given anything for Koro Sensei, but that wasn’t romantic love and it wasn’t the only way to show love. More than that, doing something like giving his life wouldn’t have been the right thing or helped anyone, so it unnerved him to see that portrayed in movies.
He preferred the simpler type of love. Grand gestures were nice, but just being there, having simple talks, the small things - that was what he wanted.
Elaborate plans could easily go hay wire if even a single thing was out of place. But a movie and a walk? If the movie is cancelled or full, it’s easily replaced with something else, or you can see a different movie or session. If it’s raining, you get an umbrella and walk together, getting as close as possible.
At least, that was the ideal.
But Ritsu wasn’t human, and walking around with a virtual girl in your phone, commenting that the rain should be over within the next hour just wasn’t the same thing.
