At some point, Fubuki fell asleep on your lap. It wasn't necessarily late in the evening, but it had been a long day for everyone. Carefully you carried her to bed then lay next to her, observing her for just a little while longer. And as you were done covering her under a blanket, the fox turned your way and clung to you once again. It was hardly the most ergonomic sleeping position, but last night you were the most comfortable you've ever been.

When morning came, Fubuki was different. In a good way - more like her usual old self. She'd still look off in the distance on occasion and tune out for a moment or two. But quickly, her melancholy would get replaced by a determined, though muted, smile.

You managed to convince her to go on a date. Last minute, no special plans, no special destination. You just wanted to get her out of the house to get her mind off of things. She hesitated a bit but eventually buckled.

Knowing better, you and the girl took a train to the other side of town. Hanging out at the usual spots might trigger nostalgic memories, and you just wanted her to be carefree. Fubuki was always a little sheepish in public, but today she held your hand the entire way there.

After spending a lazy afternoon walking through all manner of stores and shops, you hear Fubuki's stomach growl. Embarrassed and with a blush in her cheeks, she eyes you with a half smile and furrowed eyebrows.

"Well, this place brings back fond memories." You say under your breath.

It was here, the most unlikely of places, that she dragged you to on your first date, after all.

Maybe it's fate that brought you back. You exhale through your nose, check for the box in your pocket and place your order...
