Trope Workshop:Kiss The Rain

Travis might sadly feel it always rains on them, but this is a trope of joyous precipitation. Romance is blooming, life is good and the lovers are caught in the rain, but fret not: they are so happily in love they, dance, play, kiss! Soaking clothes and all, the surroundings don't bother them: they are together and in love.

This is for one of those moments in the romance arc, where there might be a montage of happy moments to depict the pinnacles of new love, or just of the characters' love reaching an apex in the story. It can be a moment where one character finally admits/declares their love and the backdrop of rain serves as the crescendo. Another scenario could be where misunderstandings are cleared up and the lovers share a reconciliatory moment in the rain.

Often the catalyst for finally letting true feelings out, settling matters and usually with the climax of a cathartic kiss to complete the moment.

Compare Snow Means Love and Together Umbrella. Subtrope of Empathic Environment. Caught in the Rain is a subtrope of this.
