Watching Accelerator

Index ll episode 19

3rd pov

The woman decide they're going to change where everyone is sitting, because they feel like the the albino is going to need to be comforted, as well as Last Order, so they shift around, forcing protests from others who were comfortable. Heaven just watches. Accelerator gets shoved into the center of the couch, Mikoto and Touma pushed to both sides of him, Index settled between his legs and Last Order on her lap, making it easy for the other kids to reassure themselves, before they each settle on a side, Yomikawa with Heaven on her other side from the kid cuddle group.

"Can I at least get a damn coffee?" Accelerator grumbles, reaching forward as far as he can and muttering a thank you when Touma reaches out and hands him a can, opening it to take a sip. Index carefully leans forward and just misses the food she was reaching for, Last Order snatching it and handing it to her, amused as she rips the packaging open and then rests it in the tiny girls' lap, sharing with her. Mikoto grabs a can of some energy drink, while Touma grabs himself a coffee as well. Yomikawa rolls her eyes and grabs some Gatorade, while Yoshikawa shamelessly swipes what appears to be a less alcoholic alcohol of some sort, not enough to get her drunk but certainly something she feels she'll need. Heaven just resigns himself and grabs water, bracing himself.

It's raining, dark heavy clouds blocking out the sky, making it dark, the city aglow with purple lights. Footsteps splashing in water and hands lifted into the air, giggling and squealing coming from the female as she moves. "It's raining-" Last Order is revealed to be the owner of the hands, the lights around on, and a few trees beside her. "-it's raining, it's raining!" She sounds excited and is very happy, turning with a wide smile on her face, hands still in the air. "Misaka Misaka loudly shouts-" She raises her hands higher, looking behind her then looks towards the sky. "-looking up at the sky." Accelerator comes into view, soaked by the rain like her, drops resting on the tips of his hair. He looks fond but exhausted. "Sure is." The reply is simple, but his tone is kind, calm, matter of fact almost.

Yomikawa smiles, glad the girl is enjoying the rain, since likely her only memories of it were the ones where her Sisters were killed in the rain, and she had in fact never gotten the chance to feel it herself, her excitement strong.

"Accelerator, you are such a parent and it is something I constantly enjoy watching because you are trying so damn hard to raise her the right way, despite everything." Yoshikawa grins at the teen, amused to find they were in fact caught in the rain, which explains why Last Order got sick pretty soon after that, though she bounced back pretty quick.

"I am so glad you are letting her enjoy this, though she is absolutely going to fall like that because she is not trying to be the slightest bit fuckin careful and it shows. Goddamn couldn't the rain have been softer so she had a chance to adjust before coming down like this?" Mikoto sighs, because her Sister is going to get hurt, but there's no way in hell that Accelerator won't help her in some way, so it'll be fine.

"You're going to get sick, and that's not something you can afford, Accelerator, you've never been sick before! The Sisters have been and so their immune systems work, but yours has never been used, since germs are considered unnecessary by your power." Heaven bemoans, because the shock and destruction this will wreak on his body is going to be horrible

"Honestly, I'm just glad you two are such good friends and so close, at that. I can't wait to see how much closer you two get, because it's rare to be able to watch a relationship grow since you're putting effort in, not watching how close you're getting." Touma muses, because he has a bad feeling, a sinking feeling in his gut, wondering what the hell could be going on, since something must have happened to get the tiny girl in tears like she was.

"I think I remember this night, and will admit I am now extremely worried because this was not the best night for any of us, was it?" Index asks, worry and concern running through her, because she can remember the state Accelerator was in both times she stumbled upon him, neither of which was great and Last Order was not doing too well either, after the prayer.
