Friendship Chapter 6: Cold

That night, I was alone at the terrace of the inn.

I felt like to be alone tonight.

I don't know if it wasn't cold or I was too distracted to even feel it. Like we don't have much time left in Flanoir I was enjoying the snow.

It's incredible how such beauty can be held on such little things like snowflakes.

Everytime since I was little, I always kept watching the snow falling from my window or even, from outside in the front yard.

I never minded if I got sick or anything. Moments like those… it's better to enjoy them.

"…it's beautiful." I said to myself while looking to the sky.

"…it is." Someone responded… Wait, what?

I turned to my left and saw a person standing right beside me, it took me by surprise so I accidentally fell to the floor.

"Are you alright?" Mithos asked me and helped me get up. Since when he's there?!

"Y-Yeah I just… Didn't see you there" I blushed. This is embarrassing. "A-Anyway…"

"Aren't you cold out here?" he asked me.

"Now that I think about it, yeah kind of" I said rubbing my arms.

"I brought you this" he handed me a jacket. I didn't notice he was wearing one too that looked exactly like the one he was giving me.

"Lloyd bought them today," he added, "He was going to buy one for himself but like they were little, he thought about us. He told me to give it to you."

"Thank you" I said then put it on. Much better.

"I don't want you to get sick, Genis," Mithos said with a worried look on his face, "It'll make sad."

"Why?" I asked even if it was a stupid question.

"Because… Because you're very important to me, I mean, you and your sister. You two are the only ones that know that I'm a… you know," I nodded, "For the first time on a long time… I feel welcome." He looked sad. I touched his shoulder, comforting him, and he gave me a soft smile in response.

"How old are you?" I changed the subject. He seemed surprised by the sudden question but answered anyway.

"I'm fourteen, and you?"

"Fourteen? What a coincidence, just like me!" I eagerly said. He giggled at my enthusiasm.

"But… Why are you taller than me?" I whined. He just petted my head like I was a little kid.

"That's not fair!"

"There, there, little one." I pouted at that comment.

"You're so mean"

We looked at each other for a few seconds then began laughing.

"We'll catch a cold if we stay out here, let's go inside" Mithos dragged me inside the inn without saying anything more.

It was such a nice night.
