Synopsis: Niragi finds something in YN's coat he borrowed from her.
It was wintertime again in the lovely city of Tokyo. Classes just ended and you’ve just finished cleaning up your classroom and getting ready to walk home. You were always so fond of winter, the falling snow combined with listening to your favorite playlist that you may or may not have named after your crush while walking home in a comfy, soft coat while thinking about him was the best combination of things to do after school.
“Hey, YN! Sorry I couldn’t walk home with you yesterday. I had some things to do. I can walk with you today though!” The very person you were thinking of approaches you further. It’s like the universe read your mind and sent him running straight to you. “Oh, it's okay,” you replied looking up at him, taking off your earphones and stuffing them in one of the pockets of the coat you were wearing. “you don't have a coat on, it's snowing. Take mine, it's half a size too big on me, so I'm sure it’ll probably fit you.”
You take off your coat halfway, taking out one arm before Niragi stops you by swiftly putting his hand over yours on your shoulder to prevent you from taking out another arm and giving it to him. You two have a slight moment of silence with the two of you blushing at the sudden action. The misty clouds of both your breath meeting perfectly in the middle of you two made you become flustered even more because you realized how close to each other you both were. “Shit, shit, shit, we’re making eye contact, he's looking at me straight in the eyes and he's holding my hand omg. His hand is so warm what the fuck. I hate this, he's so cute, holy shit. Are we going to kiss right now? Please, Suguru fucking Niragi kiss me on my lips right now or I'm going to combust” was the only thought in your head.
“I insist, you're always lending me yours, let me give you mine for once.” You slip your hand away and take off your coat giving it to him. He looks at you for another round of approval, in which you just nod your head. He takes the coat because admittedly, it was freezing. It was a size too small for him, making the coat look more like a sweatshirt, but it still worked.
As the two of you walked together side by side on the sidewalks, he always pressured you into letting him be on the side next to the roads so that you wouldn't get into an accident just in case. He felt some slight guilt seeing you out in the snow without something to warm you up. Worrying about the consequences of his actions, he quickly and discreetly puts an arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer to his side as you walked together. You lagged for a second, the thoughts behind your eyes suddenly went blank, and the next few steps you took were mindless and-
“Hey, getting too close to the road here” he chuckled. You apologized, moving further, but his arm didn't. With just such a small action you couldn't even think straight. He just put his arm around you, no big deal, right? No, of course, it was! If you were so caught up with such a small thing, could you even handle kissing him? Every statement you've made in your head was all taken back. You can’t handle it if he does anything, your mind will either turn blank or get so jumbled up to the point that you have to hold your mouth from straight-up confessing.
You finally reach your house with a few more minutes of mindless paces. You gave him a wave goodbye before unlocking your home and entering. Even after you shut your front door, he still stood there for a moment staring at your door. He quickly gets his head out of the gutter and starts walking to his home. He thought about how flustered you got when he pulled you in. He gave himself a few smiles before reaching his home. His house wasn't too far, maybe less than an eighth of a kilometer.
“Suguru! You're back home.” His mother greeted him with a smile. “Where’d you get that coat? It's a bit small on you”. He froze for a second. Did he forget to give you back your coat? He looked at a mirror next to him at the doorway of his home. He did. He didn't think of it as much, he’d just give it back to you tomorrow. No big deal.
He walked upstairs to his room where he swiftly shut the door. He took off the coat to take a shower, hanging it on the handle of his closet. He noticed your earbuds hanging out of the right pocket. He takes them out to see an iPod connected to them. He contemplated on looking through it. It was just music anyway, it wouldn't be anything big if he looked through it, yet should he really be going through a girl’s personal belongings? Moral compass thrown away, he turned it on. It was nothing too amazing, just a few albums and some playlists, but one stuck out the most. A playlist, it was at the top, meaning you had just listened to it. It was titled with his name with an emoticon heart. He felt some shock, with some remorse, half of him wanted to look further but the other half wanted to just put her stuff back and leave it alone. He opened the playlist to see some songs, mostly some soft love songs.
He decided to save this information for later, taking a shower and studying. The clock hit 8 PM, so he decided to lay on his bed and prepare to go to sleep. He took the iPod and looked at the playlist again. The cover photo was of him sitting on a train. Probably secretly taken too. He smiled at the thought. The girl he fell in love with, mirroring his feelings. It was like a dream come true. He relaxed more into his blankets, turning to lay on his side to hug a pillow. He put on the earbuds and shut his eyes, listening to the music.
LOVEMEMORE-DOSII
“Before my night goes again, talk to me
To the resting touch, fill it up of me now
Also, tell me what your night means
So I can feel the weight of your words”
He smiles. hugging his pillow tighter. He wanted to confront you. Right here, right now.
“Look at me more, and again
Even if you forget
Hold me fully in your arms
Love me more than your days”
How long have you felt this way?
“We're now leaving your memories again
Erasing past thoughts at the night's fingertips
Tell me again, what troubles your mind
So it can cover us, in the pitch-black night”
You’ve been with him through thick and thin, it was impossible for him not to fall in love with you. He thought of you every morning when he wakes up, and every night before he goes to sleep. He even cried for some nights thinking that you could never feel the same way he did. With that, he laughed. He was so stupid. You were in love with him the whole time as well. Why did he ever worry?
“Look at me more, and again
Even if you forget
Hold me fully in your arms
Love me more than your days”
Niragi sat up on his bed to think while the song transitioned to another. He looked outside his window, where he forgot to close the curtains. The silent night sky and the cold breeze made him sink deeper into his thoughts. He stood up and put the iPod back into the coat, putting it on, and snuck out through his window. He walked back to your house where he claimed over your fence and used your backyard ladder to reach your window. He sat on the roof and knocked. Surprisingly to him, you were still awake and quickly opened your window.
“Suguru, what are you doing here? It's 8:30 at night!” You whisper-shouted to him. You got slightly annoyed by the grin on his face. “Can I come in?” He replied.
You let him climb into your room out of defeat. He hugged you tightly in response. Of course, you hugged back, but that doesn't answer the question of why he was here, trying to sneak into your house. “I found your iPod.” He said cheekily, taking out of the coat pocket and showing it to you. You grabbed it from his hands and asked if he went through it. He told you he discovered a certain playlist that he may or may not listened to one of the songs too.
“You know that I'm in love with you now, right?” You said. Niragi looked at your eyes and smiled. He put an arm around your waist and another around your hips. He was so close to your face that you felt teach other’s breath on each of your faces. Niragi looked at your lips instead and kissed you.
