Shiver

Usagi ran. Her teeth chattered as she shivered in the icy wind whipping around her. She pulled her gloved hands up into the sleeves of her coat, silently wishing she had worn warmer pants.

Dodging around another pedestrian as she rounded a corner, Usagi let a relieved sigh escape her lips. Ignoring the fact that she could see her breath before her, the teenager tried to focus instead on the warmth she knew the temple just a few yards ahead of her would provide.

Several minutes later, after she had been quickly ushered into her girlfriend's home, Usagi explained why she needed to see the miko, despite the freezing temperature. Then, while sipping hot cocoa and feeling the weight of a heavy wool blanket across her shoulders, she endured Rei's lecture on not making herself sick for frivolous reasons- namely, that Rei was warmer than the heater at her home.

When Rei had finished speaking, Usagi set her drink down and held one end of the blanket up. Rolling her eyes, but grinning just the same, Rei sat on the floor and pulled Usagi into her embrace. Slender fingers traveled up the blonde's spine and a chaste kiss was placed on her temple. Usagi smiled. And, as her heart raced, she shivered with delight.
