Warm

A strong gust of icy air blows seeping through Yoshiko's flesh, sending shivers down her spine. The blue haired girl can't help but grumble, before she wraps her coat tighter around her petite body in an attempt to keep herself warm on her walk back home through Numazu's cold streets.

- Stupid weather.

She mutters, shivering out of cold as she hides her neck in the little warmth her uniform provides her with, pulling the lapels of her coat more up, before she quickly hides her frozen hands somewhere within the dark brown fabric.

Out of all days, she precisely had to forget her gloves and scarf in such a cold one. Yoshiko can't help but frown deeply, being sure that she took them with her that same morning.

Maybe it was part of the plan of some unsatisfied little demon to steal them from her... yep, it has to be that! An unsatisfied little demon stole her fuzzy scarf and gloves in revenge, wanting to make her suffer for whatever she did to them, but they'll feel the great Yohane's wrath once she finds out who did it!

Yoshiko promises herself as she tries to walk faster, not even remotely thinking about the possibility of have left them forgotten in her P.E locker.

- Stupid scarf.

She mumbles as she hides her neck further into the lapels of her coat, earning herself the amused looks of some nearby passersby, before she kicks a pile of snow on the ground having such a bad luck that she immediately slips and ends up landing on her butt on the snowy ground.

- Eek!

She squeals loudly upon feeling the cold seeping through the little warmth her body kept within, quickly standing up to shake the snow off her rear and avoid get soaked.

Yoshiko can't believe her bad luck, groaning as she continues her walk. On her walk, she can't help but grumble even more as she shivers harder out of cold.

Soon enough, she hears the sound of a giggle next to her, turning to glare at whoever that dared to laugh at her, only to find a familiar burgundy haired girl smiling cutely at her.

- Don't tell me you forgot your scarf – Riko says in between giggles, seeing Yoshiko pouting adorably.

- I inform you that I did not do such a thing! An unsatisfied little demon stole it along with my gloves as a revenge to make me pay for not paying enough attention to them probably... but I swear to you that they'll suffer the resulting punishment for daring to do such a profanity to the great fallen angel Yohane!

Yoshiko exclaims outlandishly, making Riko giggle harder as she's even more convinced if possible that the younger girl did forget them, or maybe have even lost them.

- Hai hai, whatever you say, great Yohane-sama… But aren't you cold? – Riko asks her concerned, seeing Yoshiko shivering, before the younger girl shakes her head and poses with her signature gesture.

- Fear not my elite demon, this great fallen angel isn't capable to feel co- achoo!

Yoshiko begins to say pompously, before she shivers out of cold and sneezes loudly.

- You were saying?

Riko teases her, giggling as Yoshiko pouts, before she steps closer to offer the young girl her scarf.

- Here.

She offers the warm fabric to the other girl with a tender smile on her lips, enchanting Yoshiko with it, before she, once again, shakes her head.

- Don't worry Riri, I'm okay.

She rejects it softly, although Riko can see through her stubborn self, seeing her sniffing as she shivers harder, before she sighs heavily and takes another step closer to wrap it around her neck, pulling the both of them together with it.

Yoshiko can only blush hard, inhaling Riko's sweet scent, before she hears her giggling and feels her taking her hand in hers to keep it warm as she accompanies the blue haired girl part of the way to her house, enjoying the warmth that both the scarf and Riko's glove provides her with.

When Yoshiko waves Riko goodbye, she can't help but already miss the warmth and sweet scent of the older girl enveloping her, walking faster the negligible meters to her house, before she quickly hides under the kotatsu humming out of satisfaction.

Yoshiko soon finds herself missing Riko's warmth. No matter how many times she changes her scarves and gloves for other ones fuzzier, she still feels cold, not having any excuse to take Riko's hand in hers or wrap her scarf around her neck as they walk back part of the way together to feel her warmth.

Yoshiko sighs dejectedly going through her phone, before the doorbell obliges her to leave the warmth of her kotatsu to go and open it.

- Riri?

She asks surprised upon seeing the other girl at the other side of the front door smiling sweetly at her with her nose red due to the cold.

- Can I come in? – she asks the younger girl timidly, seeing her gobsmacked, before she awkwardly lets her in – Thank you. And well, since today is Christmas, I've brought you a little gift. I hope you like it.

She ends up saying as she blushes lightly, making Yoshiko blush too, before she takes the offered gift.

- Ah, thank you!

The young girl exclaims back as Riko watches expectant how she opens her gift to get out a pair of dark grey gloves of a small box.

- I hope they fit you – Riko says quietly, blushing lightly as she sees Yoshiko putting them on and smile widely.

- They're super warm!

The younger girl exclaims happily, taking them off to see their fluffy inside.

- I have a pair like this one, they're really warm so I thought you would like them, even if the great fallen angel Yohane doesn't need such things.

Riko says teasingly between giggles, making Yoshiko blush again before she focus her attention on the fuzzy and pretty scarf in her hands, mesmerized by the way the burgundy lines blend so perfectly with its dark grey color, reminding it to them.

- What's wrong? You don't like it?

Riko asks insecure upon seeing the unreadable expression on Yoshiko's face, seeing her then shaking her head, before giving her a soft smile.

- No, I love it. It just reminds me of us.

Yoshiko says softly, timidly, making Riko be the one blushing now, before the young girl takes the ends of the scarf to wrap it around Riko's neck, surprising the other girl. Yoshiko can't help but smile at this, before she pulls Riko towards her until their lips meet in a soft kiss.

Riko can only gasp at the sudden kiss, before she quickly reciprocates it, pulling the younger girl closer while wrapping her arms around her neck. She feels Yoshiko smiling softly, before they pull away, resting their foreheads together.

- Merry Christmas, Riri. Thank you for the gifts – Yoshiko whispers gratefully against her lips, making Riko smile before she kisses her again.

- Merry Christmas, Yocchan.

Riko wishes her, and Yoshiko finally feels warm once again.
