Cold winter air blew past you— causing you to shiver a bit as you took a stroll outside. The beginning of winter, cold but calming at the same time. Maybe it was the stress of school but you just needed a break from everything. You walked past a few houses before passing by the small town you and your friends would often meet and hang out before you spotted someone familiar.

It was Ichiro, what was he doing out here? it was already around 1am so it was a bit odd for him to be out so late, considering how early he sleeps even on weekends. He was seemingly lost in thought as he stared down at the ground, leaning against a lamppost. His hair was up is his usual loose ponytail and he wore a simple gray-blue jacket with black cargo pants and a plain white hoodie underneath his blue jacket.

It took a while before he turned his gaze to you and gave a small wave. When you walked over to him and asked what he was doing out here so late he just shrugged and looked away before speaking.

“I just… needed a break from my father.. thats all.”

Ichiro spoke casually but you knew it was probably another argument with his father. Not wanting to push him for answers you just stayed silent. There was a comfortable silence between you too as another cold breeze drifted through you causing you to shiver. Ichiro noticed you shivering before he suddenly took his jacket off and draped it over your shoulders before returning to his original position— leaning against the lamppost, his gaze was turned to look out at the night sky.

“You’re shivering…” Ichiro answered you softly before you could ask why.
