Short summary: No matter if work, trains, unseasonably cold weather delays her… Even if Yuzuriha runs late to meeting up with Nerine…
Walking so quickly she is almost running, Yuzuriha weaves her way through the pedestrians middling about the station with only one destination in mind. She’s late and she hates it. It doesn’t matter if work has delayed her, if trains have delayed her, if unseasonably cold weather has delayed her. She doesn’t want her beloved to…
“Neri!” Yuzuriha shouts, rounding the corner and stopping herself a few meters away. She takes in the sight before her: Nerine leaning against the wall in a black overcoat and a cream scarf, her blonde hair curled around her cherubic face, highlighting her pink cheeks. She looks beautiful, of course, but she also must be cold, and that spurs Yuzuriha to speak more.
“You didn’t have to wait out here. What are you trying to do, catch snowflakes?”
Nerine smiles wryly. “It’s fine.” She laughs softly as she takes a step away from the wall towards Yuzuriha, onto sidewalk that is covered in fresh snow. “Refreshing, even.”
Nerine’s pale hands leave her pockets as she moves. They too are beautiful in the snowy evening light, but Yuzuriha mainly feels concern upon seeing the uncovered skin.
“Aren’t you cold?” The urge to cover those cold hands with her own cannot be restrained. Two steps later, they stand together with fingers entwined.
“Your scarf kept me warm,” Nerine murmurs as she takes some of Yuzuriha’s warmth as her own. She isn’t wrong; her hands weren’t quite as cold as Yuzuriha expected them to be. “Should I make you one in return?”
“I’d never turn down a gift from my dear Neri but…”
Yuzuriha trails off. On the one hand, a handmade scarf from Nerine would be an amazing gift. On the other hand, Nerine has never shown much propensity for the craft arts. It might be quite the struggle for her to even keep stitches on the needles, even if she were to dedicate the time for knitting…
Nerine laughs. She probably knows what Yuzuriha is thinking. Maybe they’ll compromise on Nerine sewing one instead. Either way, that’s not important right now. What’s important is…
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
Going to the supermarket together, then returning home together. Having dinner together, bathing together, changing into pajamas together, falling asleep together. No matter what happens during the day… No matter if they spent a moment catching snowflakes… There’s always a way to properly send the day off, right?
