This was meme suggested by a friend. It was a fun writing exercise. A few are basically canon scenes with pretty words. Each chapter is a one-shot inspired by, and written within the length of, a song from my playlist on shuffle. Feel free to listen to the songs as you read.
Kitchen - Chris Hickey with Sally Dworsky
Hatori looked up from his desk, thinking of his next visit to Akito. It was soon. Winter was on its way, and Akito would be more vulnerable than ever.
His eyes, the good one and the right, fell on the framed picture of her.
The picture of her smiling, of her happiness, didn't spark the same emotion in him that it did before. He no longer wanted to feel anything. He hadn't wanted to feel anything since that day. He didn't deserve to.
There was no need. Akito was the only one who needed him now.
Spring left that day. The warmth was gone.
So Hatori lets winter come, and does not care for the snow to melt.
