"It's cold today."
.
January, 2015.
.
The brunette let out a huge yawn as he patiently waited for his friend to come out of the familiar building. He kicked the ground every now and then to get the snow off his boots. He could feel his phone vibrated in his pocket. He ignored it. It stopped vibrating after a few seconds. It was probably his old classmates. They were planning to show up uninvited at a party at a frat house later. He rarely spent time with them these days. He rubbed his hands together before he put them on his cheeks.
.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, hey, Mio..."
"No. We're not alone."
.
He wanted to reach out for her hands but she quickly hid them in her pockets. Her rejection made him pout. She was completely unaware of the hold she had on him as she nervously looked around them. He followed her gaze. They were currently surrounded by her peers and some of them even waved at her. She managed a small smile before she waved back at them. "I'm sorry," he apologized to her. He realized that he made her feel uncomfortable. His sudden apology made her laugh.
.
"Seriously, baka, what are you doing?"
"I'm picking you up."
"...did my mama – mom – ask you to?"
"No. I just felt like it."
"You don't have to. It's even snowing."
.
She interrogated him all the time they walked along the familiar street. She was beyond confused at his nonchalant attitude. He kept answering her questions with some questionable answers. It made her upset and she eventually ignored him. Her silence got the best of him. He heaved a sigh as he scratched the back of his neck. "I can't wait to see you. I just, I don't know, I just miss you," he confessed to her. His confession came out as a small whisper but it sounded clear to her. It made her blush.
.
"I want to kiss you again."
.
He kept his eyes on hers as he approached her. He slipped his hands into her pockets and he then gently squeezed her hands. His warm hands felt surprisingly hot to her cold ones. I can get used to this. She could care less about his true intention. She was touched by the fact that he made the time to see her in the freezing weather. It made him hate being outside because he got sick easily in it. She knew him like the back of her hands, after all, he would always wear his heart on his sleeves.
.
"Can I kiss you again?"
.
He made her feel something. It reminded her of the day that they had their first kiss. She studied him. He tensed up under her stare with his eyes wavering every now and then. She felt her heart beat faster and faster as soon as she rested her eyes on his lips. She looked away from him. "Not now, baka," she answered him. She sidestepped him and she then picked up her pace. She fixed her scarf with one hand so that she could hide her blush from him. Her rejection made him pout again. He bit his lower lip as he walked faster to keep up with her pace.

The ravenette hugged her mother as soon as she opened the door for them. She gently swept up her bangs with her hands and she quickly planted a small kiss on her forehead. She squeezed her daughter into her arms, as usual, before she greeted the familiar brunette. She playfully ruffled his hair. His pout simply grew bigger. "I just finished making dinner. Do you want to join us, Ricchan? It's your favorite," she asked him as she winked at him. It made him blush. He shrugged his shoulders.
.
"Thanks, obasan, but I'll be on my way."
"Alright, then, take care. It's cold today."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll just go home, Mio."
"You're not forgetting something, right?"
.
He narrowed his eyes at his friend. He contemplated her remark for a few seconds and he then shook his head a few times. He could not come up with anything. She glared daggers at him before she made her way upstairs. She did not wait for him to get her and she absolutely did not want to repeat herself. He was confused by her demeanor. "I don't think I... Oh," he did not finish his sentence. He went red in the face when he finally read between the lines. His heart could not beat any faster.
