He only felt cold
nothing elsejust cold
He sat there
for a whileUnmoving
Impassive
IndifferentHe let out
a cold breathHe shivers,
pulls his jacket
closer to himIt didn't work
His jacket wasn't
thick enough to cancel
most of the coldHe tries not to think about it
Let himself adjust to the climate
"Uemura-kun?"
Immediately, he looks up
he recognized that voiceBut he saw no one around him
Yeah, there was no way
she'd find him thereHe sighs
I'm getting delusional
Maybe I should—
No, not now
He rubs his arms,
hoping to give himself
ample warmthBut it was futile,
it just wasn't enoughThe warmth
she gave him was what
he yearned forHe shivers
and coughs,
feeling
helpless
hopelessShould he go home?—
"Uemura-kun?"
