nct wish: dancing in the rain
as requested by my favorite @pachu-verse-12 🫶
SION
You had been comfortably curled up beside Sion on the couch, watching a movie while the rain slowly started tapping against the windows. At first, you didn't pay much attention.
Then the rain became heavier. You suddenly sat up. Sion glanced at you.
“What's wrong?”
You didn't answer. Instead, you looked toward the window with the biggest smile.
“It's raining!”
Before he could even process what you meant, you were already getting up.
“Wait—where are you going?”
You opened the door and immediately stepped outside. Sion stared after you in disbelief.
“You're seriously going outside?”
You turned around, laughing.
“Come here!”
He sighed, but there was already a smile forming on his face.
“You're unbelievable.”
Still, he eventually followed you outside, carrying an umbrella that you immediately pushed away.
“No umbrella!”
“You're going to get soaked.”
“That's the point!”
Sion just laughed.
Then he watched you start spinning around in the rain, completely carefree. You lifted your face toward the sky, danced around the yard, and laughed whenever the rain splashed against you.
He couldn't stop looking at you. You looked so happy. Eventually, you reached your hand toward him.
“Dance with me!”
Sion raised an eyebrow.
“In this?”
“Yes!”
He shook his head, but took your hand anyway.
“Fine.”
You started dancing together, mostly just swaying and laughing because neither of you could really hear the music anymore.
Then Sion gently placed one hand on your waist.
“Wait.”
“What?”
“Let me teach you properly.”
You blinked.
“Properly?”
He nodded, guiding your hand onto his shoulder.
“Slow dance.”
And suddenly, your silly little rain dance became something incredibly romantic.
You rested your head against his shoulder while the two of you slowly swayed beneath the rain.
Sion smiled softly.
“You really love the rain that much?”
You nodded. He looked down at you.
“I think I understand why now.”
RIKU
Riku would absolutely think you were hilarious.
The second you ran outside, he'd stand at the doorway with his arms crossed.
“You're crazy.”
You ignored him and continued dancing.
“Riku! Come dance!”
“No.”
You spun around dramatically.
“Please?”
“No.”
“Rikuuu.”
He'd try so hard to resist.
But then you'd start doing your own little dance, smiling like you didn't have a single worry in the world.
Riku would eventually sigh.
“...Fine.”
The moment he stepped outside, you grabbed his hands. He immediately started laughing.
“Why are you dragging me?!”
“Dance with me!”
“I don't know what you're doing!”
“Neither do I!”
That somehow makes him laugh even harder. Eventually, though, Riku decides he's going to teach you something.
“Okay, okay. Come here.”
He takes your hands and starts showing you a simple slow-dance step.
“Left.”
You step right.
“No, your other left!”
You burst out laughing.
“I'm trying!”
“I know!”
After several failed attempts, you finally get it. Riku smiles proudly.
“There! See? You can do it.”
You grin.
“Again?”
“Again.”
And this time, he doesn't even bother teaching. He simply dances with you.
The two of you end up swaying together in the rain while laughing whenever one of you steps on the other's foot.
Riku eventually looks at you and quietly says,
“...You're really cute.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Riku!”
“Nothing!”
YUSHI
Yushi would initially just watch you.
You'd run outside and start dancing happily, completely absorbed in the rain.
He'd stand by the doorway, quietly smiling. You eventually notice him.
“Yushi!”
He looks at you.
“Come here!”
He walks toward you.
“You're going to catch a cold.”
“But it's fun!”
He looks at your face.
You're absolutely glowing.
And that's enough to convince him. He takes your hand.
“Okay.”
You smile. Then you pull him closer.
“Dance with me.”
Yushi would probably be surprisingly good at this.
He gently puts one hand around your waist and guides you into a slow dance. You laugh.
“Why are you actually good at this?”
He smiles.
“I'm just following you.”
“No, you're leading!”
“Then just follow me.”
The rain continues falling around you while you slowly dance together. At some point, you rest your head against his chest.
Yushi looks down at you with the softest expression.
“You really like rainy days.”
“Mm-hm.”
“Then I'll remember that.”
You look up.
“Why?”
“So whenever it rains, I'll dance with you.”
And you immediately melt.
JAEHEE
Jaehee would be amused but also slightly concerned.
“You're really going outside?”
You nod enthusiastically.
“It's raining!”
“I can see that.”
You run outside anyway. He watches you dance through the window for a few seconds.
And honestly?
He finds you ridiculously adorable.
The way you're laughing.
The way you're spinning around.
The way you're clearly having the time of your life.
Eventually, he comes outside with a towel.
“You're going to regret this later.”
You grab his hands.
“Dance first!”
He laughs.
“You're unbelievable.”
He lets you pull him into the rain.
You start dancing together, and Jaehee eventually turns it into a gentle slow dance.
He'd probably quietly hum a melody while you sway together. You look up at him.
“Are you happy?”
He smiles.
“Very.”
“Even though you're soaked?”
He looks at you.
“Especially because I'm soaked with you.”
You'd immediately hide your face against his chest because that was way too smooth.
RYO
Ryo would be like:
“Why are you doing this?”
You: “Because it's raining!”
“...Okay?”
“Come dance!”
“No.”
“Please?”
“No.”
“I love you.”
“That's not going to work.”
You smile.
“I love you very much.”
He pauses.
“...Five minutes.”
You cheer.
The moment he joins you, you grab both of his hands and start spinning him around.
“Hey! Slow down!”
“You said five minutes!”
“I didn't say you could throw me around!”
He'd complain the entire time while secretly smiling. Eventually, though, he'd relax.
You'd end up dancing slowly, your hands intertwined. Ryo looks at you.
“You know you're weird, right?”
You nod.
“Yep.”
He smiles.
“...I like that about you.”
Then you deliberately step on his foot. He stares at you.
“You did that on purpose.”
You laugh and run away.
“HEY!”
And suddenly your romantic rain dance becomes a full-on chase through the rain.
SAKUYA
The second Sakuya sees you dancing outside, he would be fascinated.
“You're dancing in the rain?”
You nod.
“Come join me!”
He doesn't hesitate. He runs outside.
“Wait for me!”
Now you're both dancing around like children. You spin around while Sakuya tries to copy you.
“Like this?”
“Exactly!”
He tries again.
You laugh.
“Perfect!”
Eventually, you hold his hands and start teaching him your own little dance.
Then Sakuya gets an idea.
“Wait.”
He takes your hand.
“Let me teach you something.”
“What?”
“A couple dance.”
You laugh.
“You know how to do one?”
“A little.”
He puts your hands together and starts guiding you. You both mess up almost immediately.
Sakuya starts laughing.
“Again!”
So you try again.
And again.
Until you finally manage a simple slow dance.
The rain is falling around you, your clothes are completely soaked, and neither of you cares.
Sakuya looks at you with a huge smile.
“This is fun.”
You nod.
“Very.”
He squeezes your hand.
“We should dance in the rain every time it rains.”
You smile.
“Deal.”
