"Aren't you cold?"

Ryou forced a smile and held back a sneeze. Hiroto rolled his eyes.

"Get back inside."

"I'm okay. Really." Ryou tried to sound convincing despite the fact his teeth were chattering.

Hiroto knew how stubborn his friend could be. No amount of talking would make Ryou move from his position. Still, he was worried. Why would anyone be sitting on a bench in a park on a snowy day?

"Take my gloves, at least."

Ryou shook his head, melted snow dripping along his cheek. "It's okay, I'd rather be cold." He doesn't come out when it's cold.
