[Caught you. Without delay, he turns and leans his back against Koro's. (This is the most cool-and-aloof way of maintaining physical contact that he knows, okay?)]
Calm down. We've got this. We just need to keep in contact until the urge dies down, then we'll be back to normal... if we can get dry, that is.
[Without an awning or anything in sight, they can only hope that they'll either burn up the urge, or the rain will die down, or both. Even as Hijikata feels Koro's solid back against his own, he craves more, but he fights the desire. Surely, his willpower is stronger than this bullshit!
(It isn't, and on some level, he knows. After all, last year he ended up assaulting Levi, that grumpy little bastard, and the forced kiss resulted in a nasty public street fight, with spectators and all. It was mortifying. Given Koro's warnings, won't this be even worse?)]
...
How fireproof are you? Maybe I can dry us up that way.
