Chapter 1. Together We Slumber
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinamori crossed her arms over her chest and shivered.
The cold winter air buffeted her face, and her hair and fingers were crystallized as she walked through the deserted, snow-covered streets of Seireitei.
The green scarf that was wrapped around her neck did not warm her very much.
However, the white haired taichou by her side did not seem to be bothered in the slightest.
He wore a red scarf, but that was because she had forced him to.
If he was going to drag her outside in the freezing snow, on Christmas night for no reason, then she told him to wear a scarf so he would not catch a cold.
As the snow steadily continued to fall, Hinamori began to wonder.
What time is it?
Where is he going?
Why am I going with him, it's freezing.
But she knew that she could never turn him down.
When he had came up to her and asked if she would like to go for a walk that night, there was no way she could have refused, for she hardly ever saw him these days.
As Hinamori noticed that she was falling behind, she snapped out of her trance and caught up to him, walking again by his side.
It was so dark out, that she could barely tell where they were, her eyes just hardly making out the outlines of some buildings.
It was only then that she realized that this part of Seireitei was completely deserted.
"There."
Hitsugaya announced as he quickened his pace into a run.
Hinamori hardly had time to react to his sudden outburst of speed.
As she watched from behind, Hitsugaya took a mighty leap into the air, and landed on a branch of a snow-covered tree only seconds afterwards.
Hinamori bounded after him, and soared through the air to land gracefully beside him.
"Finally."
She panted.
She sat down on the thick branch and let her feet dangle off.
Hitsugaya remained standing, leaning against the trunk of the tree, as if prepared for a battle to break out at any second.
They gazed up at the December sky, which was a dark violet.
The swaths of stars were like drops of white watercolor paint on the heavens.
The moon was in the shape of a cat's claw, a small sliver that gave off a surprising amount of light.
The flurries of snow had stopped by now, but the numbingly cold breezes had not ceased in the slightest.
Hitsugaya took note of this fact, and the fact that Hinamori was still shivering.
He knelt down beside her and unwrapped the scarf from his neck.
He gently lifted her small hands from her lap and enveloped her frozen hands with the soft material.
She gave him a grateful smile and shifted so he could sit down next to her.
He placed an arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him.
They sat together for a while, and soon Hinamori lifted her dangling feet up to the branch, and curled them under her body.
Within seconds, her breathing had slowed and she was asleep.
Hitsugaya leaned against the frozen tree trunk for support, and eventually, he too had drifted into slumber.
