#kaedehara kazuha x you

silently leaned forward, poking a stick at the fire’s dying embers. You watched him, entranced by the way the small flames danced across his pale face. For just a moment, you were even able to forget the biting chill that permeated the air around you. Once he sat back, you came back to reality, and shivered while pulling your blanket tighter around your form. 

This action didn’t go unnoticed by Kazhua, who then placed a gentle arm around your shoulder to tug a bit you closer to his side. His attention was elsewhere, however, ruby orbs much too busy scanning the snow-blessed evergreen trees that traced the surroundings. After travelling with the swordsman for so long, you had learned to practice reticence in these moments, the moments when Kazuha was carefully listening to the words of nature as they whispered and told him secrets you could never wish to uncover. 

Still, the warmth emitting from the soft action he had performed seconds ago sent pleasant tingles crawling through your skin. You closed your eyes, resting your tired head on your lover’s shoulder as you released a quiet but contented sigh. A bandaged hand reached over to place itself on your cheek, further heating the area. In a tender gesture, Kazuha’s thumb traced your undereye area carefully.

“Sleep well my love. The snow will await the return of it’s sun.”
