Summary
When he finally manages to stay motionless, Tsukasa also moves around a little—maybe subconsciously, but both end up just a bit closer to the other, now the heat from the other’s body being unmistakable.
“Jun?” Tsukasa asks, whispering as if he were a child who dares to speak after curfew.
The simplicity of using only Jun’s given name is… comfort in ways Jun cannot name, not even to himself. Humming as a response is enough for Tsukasa to add more:
“Are you cold?”
// Plays after Chapter 52! (Possible spoiler if you haven't read it yet.)
Once Jun leaves the rink, clouds gather and light rain falls. Walking away and smoking a package of cigarettes while the memories of his past and skating career circle in his mind, Jun makes a mistake and ends up on the ground. Thankfully to his 'saviour', he avoids hitting his head - but the man turns out to be Tsukasa. Views and words clashing, with declarations and honesty, after a lifetime spent feeling nothing but the coldness of the ice, Jun lets himself be embraced by the warmth of a man who respects and adores him to no end.
