The mature scent of coffee roamed in the morning air, winter birds chirped faintly somewhere in the distance. I was sitting on the first floor, enjoying the crippling winter morning with my nice mug of hot coffee. It's always cold in Hokkaido, but winter is colder and more miserable so there's little to no costumer will visit to my coffee shop.
But I was expecting a certain someone to come in. No matter what time and season, he'd always here.
Speak of the devil, the golden bell jingled as the door opened. There he is, in his winter clothes. There are dazzling frost on his periwinkle hair and long eyelashes, as though they are decorated with brilliant pixie dust. I'd almost mistook him as a winter spirit with his cold yet gentle appearance if he wasn't a regular here.
"Good morning (Name)."
"Good morning Shirou, how can I help you?" I asked sweetly as I stood up from my chair. Shirou sat in front of the counter. I could see his pale hands trembled like withered leaves, his knuckles are red like ripped cherry.
"A mug of hot lemon tea please," he asked with his voice that sound so refreshing and calm. To me, he was literally the embodiment of the winter itself. I chuckled to my silly little thought and obliged his order.
"Hot lemon tea, coming right up."
It didn't take long for me to served it to him. My coffee shop, despite having almost zero reputation I can assured you this place has a nice service. He took a gulp as he felt it's warming his entire body.
"Do you want some brownies?"
"Sure," he calmly smiled. His smile is as beautiful as a rare Edelweiss, I thought.
Just as usual, I start making sweets. Cutting the chocolate, mixing the batter, baking and decorating it. I'd always have fun when making sweets, it calmed me down in some sort of way. Shirou seem to enjoy watching me baking too. His jade like orbs would followed my every single movement as I turned here and there to make sweets.
I finally finished the last touch on the brownies. I served some to him as I poured another coffee into my mug since I've drunk up the last one. I sat beside him and start chatting, starting from his school life and my job.
The entire atmosphere in the shop is peaceful, his soft voice that smoothly flow like a river just made me more sleepy. The bitter taste of chocolate and coffee danced in my tongue, creating a fuzzy feeling inside of my chest.
It felt like I fall into a dream. A sweet like sugar dream I can't wake up to. A cold, sweet dream that only exist in people's fraction of mind, hazy as frost yet clear as ice.
In bitter reality, this kind of happy life is far more rarer, is far more fleeting, and is far more easier to lost it. In comparison, like the delicate snow when placed in the midst of summer's warmth.
I eventually leaned my head on Shirou's shoulder as he circled his arm around me, putting me inside of his far too comfortable embrace. His overflowing lilac scent and rhyming heartbeats guided me to the deeper depths of my slumber.
I smiled as I fell deeper into my dream with Shirou looking after me gently.
