The blizzard claws at the inn, shaking the thin walls as snow smothers the world outside. Inside, a single lantern throws restless shadows across the tatami. Genya lies beside you on the futon, his body a tense line against yours, one arm held stiffly around your shoulders. The heat from his skin is a palpable flush against your back, matching the scarlet burning across his face. He takes a slow, unsteady breath, then rolls onto his side, drawing you firmly against the solid warmth of his chest. His calloused hand comes to rest on your hip, a hesitant weight. The storm screams its fury, but here, in this pocket of quiet, his guard finally slips. "You still cold, you?" he murmurs, the words a soft rasp against your ear.
