Caught in the Rain: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

A subtrope of [[Snowed In]], closely related to [[Together Umbrella]]. See also [[Snow Means Love]], [[Happy Rain]].

 

 

* A major [[Ship Tease]] moment happened in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' when Hikaru runs off to look for Haruhi during a storm. The situation didn't play out quite as you may have expected, "thanks" to Haruhi's severe [[Fear of Thunder]].

* Happens in ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' when Kohta and Yuka are looking for Nyu and it suddenly starts raining. By the time they find shelter at a nearby shrine, they're both drenched, so they huddle together for warmth. Yuka admits her feelings for him, kisses him unexpectedly, and tells him that she doesn't want to be separated from him again. Kohta wipes her tears away and returns the kiss. The rain stops just as suddenly as it started, and when Kohta comments on it, Yuka realizes what she did, panics a little, and falls off of Kohta's lap. Cue [[Panty Shot]], [[Accidental Pervert]], and [[Megaton Punch]].

** The manga takes their encounter a few steps further...

* ''[[Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade]]''. Fuse and Kei kiss while hiding from their pursuers on a rain-drenched rooftop playground.

* In another possible [[Ship Tease]], Kyon and Haruhi are trapped in a cave after falling down from a cliff in an episode in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]''. The [[Ship Tease]] however does not come from getting stuck in the rain, but because of the hand holding and worried expression on Haruhi's face beforehand.

* Another one of the cave of convenience scenarios comes with Guts and Casca from ''[[Berserk]]''. After they fall off a cliff together during a battle, Guts and an unconscious Casca wash up on shore and take shelter in a nearby cave, where [[Intimate Healing]] comes into play. They don't dive right into a romantic relationship, but the time they spent together does allow for Casca, who didn't take well to Guts, to warm up to him and they both learn that they [[Not So Different|weren't very different people.]]

 

* This happens in ''[[First Knight]]'' which gives Guinevere and Lancelot a moment to play in the rain water and just talk.

* Happens to Brad and Janet in ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]''. Subverted in that, after they find shelter, they end up having sex with [[Tim Curry|Dr. Frank N Furter]] rather than with each other.

* ''[[Something New]]'' The pivotal moment between Brian and Kenya's relationship occurs when they are on a hike and it begins to rain, causing them to seek shelter beneath a tree. {{spoiler|This of course brings on the obligatory kiss}}

 

== Literature ==

 

* At the end of ''[[Little Women]]'', when Jo shares an umbrella with Mr. Baer, a proposal soon follows.

** Invoked by Mrs. Bennet in ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'' when she sends Jane on her visit to the Bingleys on horseback so the pending rain later that day will force her to spend the night. The plan [[Gone Horribly Right|Goes Horribly Right]] when a cold forces her to stay several days.

** Rain forces Fanny to seek shelter one day at the parsonage in ''[[Mansfield Park]]'', sparking her closer friendship with [[Foil|Mary Crawford]]... going by a loose definition of "friendship."

 

* Happens in ''[[A Woman Of Substance]]'' with the heroine and the cad who is after her sheltering a cave after being caught in the rain on a picnic (although it's not love, merely lust). It's certainly in the TV mini-series. I don't know about novel.

* Spoofed on ''[[The Golden Girls]]'':

'''Blanche:''' [[Shower of Love|No, it was in the shower.]] }}

* Mary Margaret and David have to take shelter together in [[Once Upon a Time]].
