Dan was walking on the lonely street, with his hands in his pockets, looking down and releasing little clouds of frozen air as he was breathing.

"Dan? Is that you?"
A familiar voice shouted at him. It was Phil. And because he had no intention of talking to him, he just started walking faster. But he froze in his place when he felt Phil's hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Fine, thanks. Why are you up so late?"
"I could ask the same thing."
"I was going to buy some milk", lied Dan.
"I'll come with you, then."

And they started walking together, like it was a normal thing that they did quite often.
"You don't talk that much, do you?" Phil spoke again.
"I don't like getting attached to people, no offense."
"I didn't say you have to do that. Just try at least to keep a conversation going."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because your voice sounds nice." he replied with a soft smile on his face.
