"If I see another data set, or chart I'm going to hurl"

"Well, we really did go over time"

It was already evening. Way past the time he usually clocked out. They were getting ready to leave now, the only ones in the long abandoned section of the building.

"It's quite late, I can walk you home"

"But we said I'd hang over at your place for the evening"

"Ah, so you really did mean that"

Nanami looked up from his briefcase as she titled her head.

"Why wouldn't I?"

When he put on his jacket she stretched out a hand and he took it. Her hands were warm and comforting. They kept the evening chill at bay.

New Years really was just around the corner.

When they boarded the late bus, she didn't let go, nor when they stopped at the mart, the usual cashier still behind the counter. He could feel her stare on his back as he watched Y/N flit around the store, picking out vegetables and fruit.

"My, what a lovely young women you are"

Y/N was suddenly extremely bashful. The usual cashier had questions, but knew better then to pry.

As Nanami checked the receipt he was about to turn around to tell her she had undercharged when he caught the old ladies eye who gave him a knowing wink.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing"

Y/N gazed at him under the setting sun and laughed. Puffs of cold air leaving her slightly chapped lips as she leaned against the blonde, taking his hand again.

Nanami suddenly forgot the chill, and how to speak apparently.

"What?"

Her giggles recided, wiping away the tears as they tramped down the sidewalk.

"That lady wouldn't stop staring at me"

"She thinks you're beautiful"

"Am I?"

She turned around walking backwards and swinging her half of the groceries by her side.

Nanami laughed,he really truly laughed. This took the H/C by suprise and she seemed taken aback nearly stumbling mid step.

"I never took you for the vain type, Ms.L/N"

"Nanami..."

He ran into her. She had suddenly stopped walking. His hands went immediately to catch her by the shoulders and she studied him.
