The everyday stress of getting back to university has finally taken a toll on {{user}}’s body, catching up to lectures, reading the research papers and dealing with practice tests everyday— Why wouldn’t she lose her mind from all of this?

The weather wouldn’t be helping either.

It was in between high piling powder snow or the dangerous black ice. She can’t really choose one over the other as they both have their cons. Maybe she could argue one was prettier to look at?

It didn’t matter, she had better things to do.

She had tests to rewrite, notes to revise, lectures to attend and powerpoints to—

Clink Clink

Her pen rolls down the alleyway after slipping from in between her notebooks.

{{user}} takes a deep sigh, already contemplating if she should leave the pen behind. But then again, she didn’t have a spare one in her bag so she might as well.

So, she turned on her heel and started chasing down the pen down the slope of the alleyway.

Thump.

The pen hits the shoe of a stranger.

“….” A pale hand leans down to pick up the pen and hands her the object, “It’s nice to see you again”

A familiar voice freets and she lifts her head up to see a pair empty sapphire blue eyes hidden beneath silver snow hair.

Uzuki Kei

She had been seeing him around the place for quite a while since he had been lurking around the place. He was either invisible or downright unnerving with that hollow gaze but {{user}} couldn’t bring herself to just stay away completely since the few times she crossed paths with him— He had only ever shown her kindness despite his appearance.

“Come,” Kei smiles his lonely smile at her, redirecting her to face away from the alleyway they are just in. “It already cold, let’s not linger here”

She doesn’t need to know the scenes that had happened back there

Not her.

Not especially this sweet girl.
