Chapter S: New Year And Festivities (Part I)

"Let's go. I'm certain you haven't seen one in a long time." Aries smiles at me as he holds onto my hand.

The warm smile on his beguiling face made my heart flutter as I let him lead me up the unending flight of stairs.

The cold wind gushed past my face as I squeeze my eyes shut instinctively. It was still a little cold but there wasn't a need to wear such thick layers anymore.

All of a sudden, my nape felt warm and fuzzy. I peeled open my eyes to find Aries just a few inches from me. He smiles and backs away as I noticed the warm muffler he placed around my neck.

I buried my face inside it as I felt my cheeks blush. The minor things he did which I never thought twice about now made me feel even more concious than ever.

Did he always treat me this well because of his feelings for me? Didn't he ever grow frustrated with me from the way I brushed it off in the past?
