Lavi's POV
So it's the beginning of December and it's pretty cold in HQ. I mean, I look at people and they've got winter coats and gloves on. Hell, even Yuu has an extra jacket on. For some reason though, the cold doesn't bother me that much. Maybe it's because Gramps and I spent a year in Northern Canada and he didn't let me get a winter coat. I'm walking around and I see people huddling together for warmth. So it gets to be the middle of the afternoon and the temperature doesn't want to go up. So I head upstairs to the library. I open the door and I see all of the books that the order has gathered over the years. I look at the tables and I see not a single soul, none except for her. She's reading a book on the Revolutionary War. She looks up from her book and she spots me.
"Lavi." Emma says.
"Yo. What are you doing up here? And how come you're not freezing your tail off like the others." I reply as I walk up to her table.
"Well do you mind if I join you after I find a book to read?" I ask.
"Nope. Go ahead." Emma smiles. I go off in search of a book. I head over to the historical section. I grab a book that has to do with the history of Japan and I walk back over to Emma's table. I take the seat next to her and I open the book. I can't focus on the book that much. I sneak a peek at Emma and I get a good look at her. She's wearing the order's uniform with short black skirt and thigh high black tights with black combat boots. Her innocence hangs around her neck and her ear is pierced with 2 small hoops. But something catches my eye. Her lips. As beautiful as they are, I could see a faint tint of blue starting to creep across them.
"Emma, seriously. Are you cold?" I question. She looks at me confused.
"No why?" Emma replies. I grab her hand.
"Emma you're freezing!" I exclaim. I let go of her hand and I get up. "Wait here a sec." I get up and I run over to the lounge area in the library. I notice one blanket folded on the back of the couch. I grab it and run back over to where Emma was sitting. I see her, holding herself and shivering, trying to keep warm. "Emma!" I run over to her and wrap her in the blanket. I pick her up slowly in my arms and I start to walk over to the lounge area.
"L-Lavi, w-what are you d-doing?" Emma stutters. She must be freezing. I don't say anything in return. The two of us reach the lounge area and I put Emma down on the couch. I take off my scarf and I wrap it around Emma's neck.
"How do you feel?" I question.
"Warmer." Emma replies.
"That's good." I smile. I sit next to Emma and I wrap one end of the blanket around me. I snake one arm around Emma's waist and I lay down, dragging her on top of me.
"L-Lavi!" Emma yells. I wrap my other arm around her waist and I pull her in closer.
"Shh… This'll keep you warm." I reply. Emma rests her head on my chest.
"Thanks Lavi…" Emma whispers.
"No problem." I whisper back. I can feel Emma warm up and I can hear her snore a little bit. She must've fallen asleep.
