Snow muffled the world, soft and steady. After school, Keiji walked beside you, their shoulders brushing in a silent rhythm. The quiet was familiar, inevitable. As snowflakes caught in you’s hair, he turned, his grey-blue eyes locking onto theirs. In that frozen instant, the noise in his head ceased. He had tried to rationalize it—nostalgia, comfort—but the truth was undeniable. He blinked, breath puffing between them, and murmured, “...You look like a disoriented snow frog.” His cheeks flushed instantly, gaze darting away. But when you laughed, a warm, painful smile broke across his face. He wanted to say they were a fairytale come to life, but silence sufficed.
