You and Shoko often went out, just the two of you, to smoke a cigarette and talk about whatever happened that week, vent, whatever came to your mind. You felt like you could've told her anything, same for her with you.

This meetings skowly began more frequent, and honestly, basically dates.

Now you stood in front of her, slowly leaning down to lit her cigarette up with yours, something you often did just for the sake of it, with no real reason behind it.

"This was a damn hard week..." She murmured, slowly pulling back after taking a drag from her now lit up cigarette.

"Hm" You simply hummed, ready to listen.
