His classmates stare when Tohma comes to pick him up from school. He leans against the gate, his hat low over his eyes, his coat sweeping down his graceful, lean body to brush at the pavement. The girl sitting closest to the window sighs, one of her friends giggles hysterically, and no one is paying attention to the teacher any longer.
The bell rings, and he runs down the stairs with his coat unbuttoned, out into the winter sunshine, and, because he can, straight into the warm circle of Tohma's arms. The wind picks up the hat and it skitters away across the pavement. People stare. They laugh; it doesn't matter.
