the warmth i refused

an epistolary.

natsumi has always had a quiet crush on caelan. but instead of showing it, she masked it with sarcasm and petty fights. that's how they ended up being called "enemies" by everyone around them.

but one chilly morning at their room, she realized she left her jacket somewhere. being sensitive to cold, she had to borrow one. of all people, caelan, who happened to be there- handed her his hoodie. It was warm. it smelled like him. and somehow, it felt like something changed the moment she wore it.

it was the warmth she refused to feel.
