"well.. if you want to see the trees here in autumn, i guess youll just have to hang around for them..".. saitou said lightly.
People were casting strange glances, so he cleared his throat and let his arm fall away from soujirou's shoulders, the boys cheeks still damp. He'd enjoyed this. Maybe because he hadnt touched anyone since okita's death. It just felt.. nice.
"you're not embarrassing me.." he mused out loud. The air was chilly and he stood. "come.." he said lightly, his back to soujirou but his head turned to glance at him.
The boy nodded and stood, following behind. 'ill just have to give him some direction..' saitou thought.
They headed back out into the streets, a familiar face gawking at them. Chou still in his work uniform, a bag of sweetbuns in his hand and some prettyfaced girl saitou had never seen clinging to his arm. He started laughing at the sight of the two, and saitou scowled and grabbed the bag of buns from him and handed them to soujirou, leading them on.
Chou shouted a few times, but saitou had to only cast a look back to quiet him.
"well.." saitou started. It was getting late and they were back at the tavern/sobashop. He stuck his hands into his pockets and looked up at the window to soujirous room, not sure if he should suggest they have some drinks.. or if he should get going and let the boy rest.
