The First Rain Drop

jaesu; g; 415 words
A/N: mmm, little kids and their crushes. I think this will turn into a series of drabbles. There needs to be more happy jaesu in the world.

There's as boy who's always outside when it rains, with his little clear plastic cup. Jaejoong watches him while he makes mud pies under the shelter of his porch, digging up dirt with his sister's mug from the kitchen.

They go to the same kindergarten. Jaejoong sees him get on the school bus in the morning with him at the stop on the corner. He's always the one that takes the window seat so he can wave goodbye to his mom, and Jaejoong stares at her and almost forgets to say bye to his own, blowing her kisses to make up for it.

They end up sitting next to each other one day at snack time, less by luck and more by Jaejoong pushing aside a kid missing his two front teeth to get the seat next to him before the teacher calls for their attention. He has a reason for doing so, though, he's not a mean kid. He taps the other boy's arm. "Hi."

"Hi."

"I'm Jaejoong."

"Hi Jaejoong. My name is Junsu!"

Jaejoong smiles and they eat in silence, watching the TV the teacher turned on for them. He reaches into his lunchbox, getting something out and squeezing it between his hands. He turns to Junsu, tapping his arm again. "Junsu. I got this for you." He puts the water bottle on the table and slides it to Junsu.

Junsu stares and blinks at it, and takes a water bottle out of his own lunchbox. "But I have one already."

"Yeah, but keep this. Then you don't have to collect rainwater."

Junsu giggles. "I don't collect rainwater!"

"What?" Jaejoong blinks, confused. "I saw you outside. With the cup!"

Junsu shakes his head. "I always try to catch the first rain drop."

The next time the man on TV says it's going to rain he puts on his boots and raincoat and goes outside with his own cup since his sister got mad about the whole mug thing. He sees it start to rain and runs toward the fastest drop he sees, falling in the process but he looks in his cup and covers it quickly with his hand. "Junsu! Junsu!"

He looks both ways before crossing the street, running onto Junsu's lawn. "I caught the first rain drop." All for you, might he add.

Junsu smiles at him. "Sorry, but I think I got the first one." He lifts his plastic cup and Jaejoong can see one little drop inside.

"Aww man."
