seeing how the night sky turned out as you look out from your window as your desk were facing the opening, you couldn't help but to admire the soft milky scattering of the stars across thw clear open dark skies of the night. the place surrounded you felt so empty, but the sky was so much full unlike yesterday's dark clouded atmosphere, perhaps the weather did turned a bit great today, you thought.
engraving a smile as your lips curled up, you felt the gentle breeze brushed off against your face before you look at the distance. the night was quite, and seemed like the whole neighbourhood had now gone to bed. sighing deeply as you took off your headphones, you put them down against your desk before dropping your pen along and soon stood up upon your chair, consciously making your way towards your door as you grabbed one of your coat near your closet.
'maybe a little walk would do,' especially on times like this, you'll need something to clear your head out. throwing your coat around you to cover you up and protect you against the cold wintery night, you finally made your way towards your front door and soon exited your whole apartment room and took the turn towards the clear hallway.
taking the elevator, you finally reached the first floor as you head out, tucking your hands under your coat's pocket as you can finally feel the cold fresh air brushing against your skin, touching every inch as you shiver.
you didn't mind it as you stepped out and breath in the fresh air of the quite city. no people around, just you and the whole world together, such a nice atmosphere to be with to be precise. untilㅡ
"you'll probably need some of these if you walk down the streets at 12:30," someone spoke. you immediately turn around upon hearing the unknown guy's remark only to be greeted by a new face. you're not gonna deny, you can actually that he's one of the most prettiest person you've ever met. cute cat eyes, thin adorable lips, pinchable tipped nose, all in all he was a handsome guy... and you don't even know why he was talking to you.
"pardon?" you asked, confused as you tried syncing in what he was trying to say earlier while entirely facing his figure only to meet his tall self.
your confusion soon sunk in after looking down to see him handing you a pair of white winter gloves, in which he probably own since it was close to his hand's size. he smiled at you, probably a smile that can be able to melt everyone's heart. you don't know if you were insane or what? but that kinda gave a shot and now you can't even help but to have your heart beating too fast and the warm sensation that was burning your cheeks was enough to warm you up.
"uh no thanks, you'll probably need it" you smiled timidly, bowing your head as you turn around and was about to avoid him and walk away when you almost tripped. you didn't realise what awaits you was the stairs, just three steps anyway but still... that's gonna hurt if ever you actually did tripped, also the embarrassment would be incredible.
luckily, this unknown guy was fast enough to sneakily wrap his arms around your waist, tightly holding you before pulling you up, resulting for your back to land against his chest. and as soon as you did, you immediately felt his hot breath against the back of your neck, enough to make those butterflies inside your stomach erupting like fireworks as you can't bare but to hold your breath, only to hear your own heartbeat.
screwed up you think, but the guy actually kinda liked it as a smile started to spread against his face. also, he kinda like the way you smelled like fresh toasted marshmallows. somehow, the way he held you by his arms made you did nothing but scream inside your head.
the stranger was prettily surprising like days, he's unpredictable. you maintain to keep yourself calm but your heartbeat says otherwise. "no need to panick like that, i'm not a bad person" he chuckled, still not letting go, and despite of the awkward situation you were willing to take even if he hold you like this for a whole night.
"i didn't say you were..." you said, lowly but audible enough for him to hear as you felt him smile behind your back, literally making regret your words in an instant.
"okay sorry..." you said, saluting yourself from not stuttering cause most likely... your throat would just want to give in right now. he's arm were still wrap around your waist and you can't even remember the last seconds. "youㅡ you can actually let go now" you finally said.
instead of letting go, a scoffed laughter was only heared before he let go of your waist and soon reach for your hand, gently tucking the winter gloves within your hand as it look like he was hugging you from behind. his actions literally made your heart melt but decided to stay quiet about it and let him do whatever he wants.
soon, after tucking in the last glove, you were surprised when he suddenly put his hand above your head, patting it as if you were a kid. "be careful," he said before finally backing off and went his way towards the same apartment building as you with his hands tucked inside his coat pocket.
you smiled at the sight of him walking away. you didn't even had the chance to ask for his name, but you were sure that it was pretty like he was.
