Chapter 44
On a cold night
Kanade waits outside of the school for her older twin to get done with club activities. Though, it feels like it's going on longer than it usually is. She decides to go inside to prevent herself from getting cold and wait for her there. Minutes go by and her lover is still not back. The artist checks her phone ever 5 minutes. She is getting a little impatient. Just then, she hears footsteps coming toward her.
"Yuki-ch-" Before she can finish, Kanade is greeted by a happy silver haired girl. "Oh, hi, Saku-chan."
"Hey, Kanade-sempai," the rich girl says. "Where's Yukino-sempai?"
"I guess her club is still not finished," Kanade replies. "So I'm waiting for her."
"Do you mind if I kept you company?"
"I'm okay, thanks."
"Awwww, man! Oh, well." Sakuya sighs in disappointment.
"Sorry, Saku-chan."
The silver haired girl smiles. "No, it's fine. My chauffeur has to pick me up anyways. I'll see you both tomorrow!"
With that, Sakuya skips away, leaving Kanade alone again. She looks out the window as she sees more snow falling. She knows it's going to be very chilly once she and Yukino get out there. She keeps on waiting for at least 15 more minutes until she hears footsteps coming toward her.
"Kana-chan!" Yukino calls and she stops to catch her breath. "I am so sorry! Club activities ran longer than it should've been. You see...there was a new girl that wanted to join our swim team and I was asked to show her the ropes. It took a bit longer than I thought. Heh, she did not have a clue what I was teaching her."
"Ah, I see." The artist holds out her hand. "Well then, shall we go?"
"Sure!"
Both of them hold hands as they exit the school. The wind is a bit strong now with the snow flakes hitting them like someone has thrown tiny berries. Kanade is wondering if they are ever going to make it through this snow to the dorms. She is shivering already, so she lets go and hugs herself to keep herself warm.
"What's the matter, Kana-chan?" Yukino asks in concern.
"Cold...it's so cold..." the artist replies, with her voice shaking.
The older twin can tell that her sister is freezing. She glances at her scarf, removes it and wraps it around both of them.
"Y-Yuki-chan?" Kanade gasps.
"This will keep you warm, right?" Yukino says with a smile. "In fact, it's a way to keep us close so that we'll both be warm."
"Yuki-chan..." Honestly, Kanade is grateful for her sister doing this and it makes her happy, too.
The older twin links arms with her. "Well, Kana-chan. Let's go~"
The twins walk towards the dorms, staying as close to each other as possible and just like Yukino said, both of them are kept warm all the way until they arrived at the dorms. After getting dressed in their night clothes, both of them snuggle in bed and turn off the lights.
"Hey...Yuki-chan..." Kanade mutters. "Are you not wearing socks again?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you once before?" Yukino giggles. "I like your feet. You should've gotten used to it by now~"
The younger twin sighs. "Oh, you..."
