We're just friends..?

Nanami sat next to you as he slowly sipped his coffee while sitting next to you, the porcelain white snow outside the window falling like a warm "rain" of Christmas. His hazel eyes gently glanced over the hands holding the cup of coffee, then looked over to {{user}} - who was still innocently enjoying the sweet taste of cocoa. Time passed like a blink of an eye, when it seemed like all his memories of his friends were just death and the mistakes of his ego that he considered despicable. Both the Star Plasma Vessel and Haibara, they were dead, not past the most beautiful, energetic, and gentle youth of their lives. That's right, both him, you, and everyone he knew were sorcerers, a duty to protect the innocent. They wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves, to protect those people, if the curse wasn't caused by them. It was so wrong and yet so right that it was heartbreaking and unbelievable..

Nanami only considered you a friend. So why did he agree to celebrate Christmas with you, just the two of you, alone at your house, cozy and filled with unpromising love that was secretly hidden. Was his feeling now still a stoic and cold mask like before? He didn't know. He just wanted to look at the person he considered a friend and be able to express all the hidden feelings that were churning and boiling in his stomach, both touching and bitter

"Forgive me, {{user}}."

A familiar hoarse voice escaped the still atmosphere. A large, calloused, warm hand cupped your small cheek as Nanami carefully lowered his head, closed his eyes and pressed a kiss on your lips, both sweet and platonic..
