The snow had been falling for days, covering the surrounding neighbourhood in white. The air was nippy, the wind bitingly cold. It was on this night that the owner of the local pharmacy was found peering out the window, worry etched on his face.
"Kakei. Don't worry too much. You yourself said that it was too early. The snow will die down and Rikuo will come back. No doubt about that." A low voice echoed in the silent room.
The slender man turned his intent gaze on the other occupant in the room, before glancing back out the window. His eyes narrowed with impatience as the snow did not seem to abate.
"There are just so many things that could go wrong." Kakei shifted in his seat in an attempt to get a better view of outside. Feeling strong arms wind around him, he leaned back onto a powerful chest.
"You've been preparing for all sorts of possibilities. The boy will come." He sighed in assent as pondered the larger man's words. They settled comfortably as they waited.
Hours passed as they sat by the window, before the snow began to subside. Not long after, shadows could be seen moving up the street. Kakei got up and went to the entrance of the store. The large shadow became clearer as it neared the light of the shop. He smiled.
"Welcome back."
