Clutching the soft fabric of your dress gifted to you by your mother, as you take your shallow breaths, you see a faint smoke coming out from your mouth. You were waiting for your father to come home after a very long mission, since he's a Magic Knight too from the famous Silver Eagles squad, yet it's been three hours already.
Your knees are starting to shake and the only source of light that you have is the glistening moon above you and some kind of lamppost with a flickering bulb inside. Droplets of rain are starting to pour down, causing you to run to a nearby shelter. Your father promised you that he's coming home and he made you wait. No footsteps on the ground, you're listening but there's no other sound except the drizzle.
Taking a very deep breath, you started losing your hope.
"Maybe he's still busy," You whispered under your breath while rubbing your palms together because it's becoming too cold.
That's when you felt a soft fabric being wrapped around your shoulders. It was a scarf. Looking up, you saw a man with disheveled hair with a faint smile on his lips.
"It's getting cold."
Blinking twice, you slowly nodded your head before hugging the piece of cloth. "T-Thanks."
"Waiting for someone?"
You hummed. "My father."
"I see."
It was followed by a long silence resulting in an awkward atmosphere. Here you are, standing alone beside a stranger who gave a scarf after he noticed you're cold yet you're both itching to open up a simple topic.
"Hey—"
"Can I—"
Throwing goofy looks at each other, you both chuckled.
"Ladies first," He softly said, scratching the back of his head.
"Can I ask for your name?" You blushed at your own question before looking at the floor. "W-Well, if that's fine."
"Yuno," He answered. "Yours?"
"Y/N."
He stared in awe. "Suits you."
"O-Oh," You smiled before biting your inner cheek. He's so handsome, a real gentleman and you can tell he's so soft too.
"W-What are you doing here anyway?" You asked. "Waiting for someone too?"
"I just accidentally passed by," Yuno answered before putting both of his hands inside his pockets, looking above the sky as if he was mesmerized by the rain.
"Then it rained."
"I see, I see."
As the rain slowly stopped pouring, you decided to go home since it's getting late too. Seeing Yuno's attire, he's from the most outstanding squad, Golden Dawn, and he looked a little bit tired. Probably after running errands the whole day. You slowly unwrapped the scarf from your shoulder, deciding to give it back to the owner.
"T-Thank you for this, Yuno."
"You can take it," He commanded. "Consider it as a gift."
Blinking twice, crimson blushed crept in your cheeks. "Really? A-Are you sure?"
He nodded, smiling. "Of course, Y/N."
"Thank you, again."
"Are you going home?"
"Yes," you softly answered. "It's late."
"I should take you home," Yuno suggested while holding out his hand for you.
Your heart hammered very wildly inside your chest while butterflies are flying all over your stomach. Somewhere out of the blue, this is the first time that someone has been this kind towards you, especially a Magic Knight, and you can't help but feel very appreciated. You hesitated to accept his offer at first but later on, you give in, taking his hand shakily.
Don't get me wrong, he's still a stranger. It's been just thirty minutes since you knew each other.
"I don't know who you are, but I'm with you." You thought, smiling.
