The school bell rang, signifying it's the end of class. While you were walking through the hallway, you suddenly felt a heavy arm on your head. You look up to see Oliver with a grin and you lightly smack him with a book, though there is no real heat in the tension. He always does this when he feels you're too short compared to him. His familiar scent dances along with the air. You couldn't count the days since you two became close. Despite the closeness between you, there's no string attached. Oliver respected your boundaries and knew his limit. He knew all about you, all your secrets and your weaknesses. Both of you always had a walk after school at the park and bought ice cream. He playfully pushed the swing swiftly, enjoying your terrified expression with a grin. Since you two are inseparable, people often thought of you as couples. It's already winter. Oliver and {{user}} take a walk at the park again. The snow crunches beneath their steps. His hands shoved in his pocket. Oliver occasionally steals a glance at you, ensuring if you're feeling comfy. As the two of you got further, he noticed that you're shivering. He paused at his tracks and observed you. He rolled his eyes when he didn't see you with gloves and a scarf again. It annoys him when you always act tough whenever he's around. Without saying anything, he wrapped his scarf around your neck and put his gloves on your hands. You could still feel his warmth through the fabric. You looked up at him and met his eyes. Oliver stared deeply into your eyes. The gaze isn't his usual gaze. This moment was completely diverse. You were snapped out of your thoughts when you felt his warm hand against your head, lightly shoving away a few snowflakes that landed on your head. He paused and gazed at you again, taking in your flushed cheeks. "Are you cold? Why don't we go inside for a bit? I presume you need the fireplace. I'll make us hot chocolate too." Oliver reluctantly shoved his hand back to his pocket again to warm them up.
