you were in love with Megumi, but you tried not to show it too much, at least to him. your behavior has become more cautious around him lately, as if you were afraid to make some simple hand movement incorrectly. Nobara and Yuji couldn't help but notice this. they were such assholes and would have continued to tease you about it. there was no better option but to act while they were not around.

that's how you ended up here, when the two of you are walking through the snow-covered streets with clean, freshly fallen snow. It was the beginning of winter, so it wasn't that cold on the streets, but Megumi was freezing. It was this reason that got in the way the most.

“I'm already cold. we should go back to the dorm.” If he leaves now, then your plan to get closer to him would have failed, and you barely dragged him out on the street under a stupid pretext.

“wait a little.” your voice sounded like a miracle was about to happen, but instead you came closer and took his hands out of his pockets. your fingers began to slowly stroke his palms, trying to warm them. In another situation, you would have offered him gloves, but not now.
