Digging your hands into your pockets as deep as they can go, you miserably try to shrug off the cold while the wind cuts through the fabric of your coat like tiny knives. You knew the weather was supposed to be bad, but they didn’t say it was full-on emergency bad. A blizzard is hitting; four feet of snow projected. Four feet! It’s a disaster! After a miserably long day at work and a bitter walk through the mounting cold here, you found out your train was already delayed by an hour. Your muscles ache as the cold seeps into your skin. And what’s worse, as you try to stay bundled on the platform, you hear the usual announcement chime.

“We’re sorry. Due to weather related circumstances, the Southern Line will be delayed further by approximately two hours. We apologize for any inconveniences…” The announcement drones on as you wince, suddenly feeling far colder. You’ve already been here an hour, and now the train’s been delayed another two? You start to shiver more and more at the idea, keeping your shoulders high as the wind continues to blow. What are you going to do? You can’t possibly stay here for that long. The walk is too far, any sort of taxi service would just completely fuck you in price, not to mention busses probably won’t be going due to the streets being packed with snow. Trying to weigh your options while staving off hypothermia, a hand lightly tugs on your shoulder. You jolt.

“Hey, you’re Anon, right?” A distinctly feminine voice asks, the hand leaving your shoulder. Turning, you see a ferocious predator...in a cozy looking parka, giving you a concerned look. “Was that your train that just got delayed?”
“A-Ah, Miss Shishiro,” You reply through the clattering of your teeth. One of the talents at your job at Cover who you’ve had the pleasure of interacting with a few times for small things. You’re flattered she even remembers your name. For some diehard fanatics, this exchange is enough to wish death upon you. “Hello! Yes, that...that was my train, haha! I-I guess I’ll be here for another few hours.”
“...Are you sure? You look like you’re close to death. Hell, the clattering of those,” She gestures to your knocking teeth. “Are what brought me here. It’s a...advanced hearing thing, for reference. You can’t seriously be thinking about waiting the two hours for the delay, right?”
“I’m afraid it’s the only option I have,” You frown, snuggling up into yourself as best you can. The wind howls. “It’s too far to walk, and worse than that, the roads are going to be impossible to traverse soon…”
“Mm...well...I could help you with that, y’know,” She smiles, a bit of her fangs pointing out as she does so. “I live somewhat nearby...I was on the way home when I heard you up here. Knew it was a familiar face, at least...scent thing. Would you like to come home with me?”

You perk up at the idea, staring at the smiling lioness in awe. Is she serious?

“N-No, no, I can’t impose on you like that,” You mutter, trying to save face. “It’s fine, I--”
“Bull,” Botan replies, taking a step towards you. Coyly, she coaxes an arm around yours, pulling you towards her. Your heart rate spikes. “I’m not taking ‘no’ for an answer. The last thing I want to find out is that one of my coworkers was found up here as a frozen treat. It’s no trouble at all, and you aren’t imposing because I’m the one making the offer. Don’t be stubborn...or maybe you’re trying to be cool?”
“Ahh, I…” You stammer, suddenly incredibly embarrassed as you can feel your body warming up. Maybe your jacket is really just that shit, but with Botan hugging you towards her, you feel the ice starting to melt off you. “...I don’t really have much in the way of choices, so...t-thank you, Miss Shishiro. It means a lot.”
“It’s no problem, really. And please, just call me Botan. I know I’m old enough to maybe be your mom, but…”
“H-Hey, don’t say that! You’re pretty,” You respond without thinking. Internally, you slap your palm to your face for letting your inner thoughts out like that, but you’re in this now. “Don’t look a day over 20.”
“That so?” She replies, the faintest hint of red coming to her cheeks as she looks away shyly, brushing the hair out of hers. Clearing her throat, she gives your arm a tug. “Enough flirting. If I’m cold, then you’re freezing to death. Let’s go.”

Without letting you go, Botan begins to walk slowly, and you follow, the two of you working into a decent pace. The snow continues to come down in heavy flakes as you march forward, letting your new companion lead you to her home. A thought strikes you. You never really thought about the specifics of this arrangement, but… How long will your sojourn be, exactly?

I don't know why, but I feel as though I cannot live in a world where Botan doesn't exist. I don't know why I'm so infatuated with her, why bros, why is she so fucking cute?
