SaneGiyuu: Loving You Is Easy

PART 82: THE FRESH SNOWFALL!

"A walk?"
Giyuu repeated, tilting his head to the side cluelessly. He crossed his arms, leaning against the bathroom doorway.

"You're trying to distract me, aren't you?"
He accused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"No, I'm not."
Sanemi chuckled, walking to the mirror to put on his uniform.

"Giyuu, I don't get why you're so restless to know this..."
He muttered, his expression softening as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. His smirk widened.

Giyuu watched Sanemi, noticing the smirk. He raised an eyebrow, but didn't question it. Sighing softly, he switched to his uniform as well.

Sanemi glanced at himself one last time as he fixed haori in front of the mirror. He opened the door and walked out of the room, expecting Giyuu to follow.

He slowly forced the main door open, the fresh cold air hitting his face. He turned around to face Giyuu, reaching his hand out.

"Hold my hand, it's quite chilly out there..."

Giyuu's cheeks flushed a light pink as he looked at Sanemi's outstretched hand. He hesitated for a moment, his heart pounding in his chest.

Finally, he reached out and took Sanemi's hand, trying to hide his blush by looking down at their intertwined fingers.

As the two stepped out in the snow, Sanemi pulled Giyuu closer to him, causing him to blush even more. He glanced at Giyuu, exhaling softly.

"You still mad?"
He asked, his words coming out as clouds of mist in the cold morning air.

Giyuu's cheeks flushed brighter, and he tried to pull his hand away from Sanemi's warm grasp.

However, Sanemi's grip tightened, forcing him to keep holding.

Sanemi chuckled, noticing Giyuu's attempt to pull away. He tightened his hold on Giyuu's hand, pulling him closer until their sides touched.

"Look at you, Giyuu... all red and cute!"
He teased, reaching out to gently stroke Giyuu's cheek with his thumb.

Giyuu's blush deepened to an almost crimson color as Sanemi's thumb brushed his cheek.

He turned his face away, mumbling words Sanemi couldn't make out. Giyuu could feel his heart racing in his chest, making him feel lightheaded.

That's when it started to snow and he paused his anger and looked up at the sky, a snowflake landing on his slightly red nose.

Sanemi looked up at the falling snow, a small smile on his lips. He turned his gaze back to Giyuu, noticing the snowflake on his nose.

Without a second thought, he reached up and gently brushed it off with his thumb, his touch lingering on Giyuu's skin.

"It's snowing..."
Giyuu continued to stare at the sky, his anger melting away at Sanemi's gentle touch.

"It looks beautiful, doesn't it?"
He asked, a soft smile on his face.

Sanemi let out a soft laugh at Giyuu's sincere wonder, watching the snowflakes gather in the shorter man's dark hair.

"Yes, it is..."
He murmured, stepping closer.

Giyuu didn't notice Sanemi stepping closer, too mesmerized by the falling snow. He looked down at the snowflakes settling into the snow-covered land.

"When I was a child... I used to love playing in the snow..."
He murmured, almost to himself.

Sanemi's gaze softened at Giyuu's words, a rare gentle expression on his face.
"Used to? Don't you like it anymore?"
