On the way home one day.
Yuu was holding Guest's hand, just like always.
"Hey, Guest. You're cute today, too."
Words he had said countless times since they started dating. Yuu loved Guest so much that no matter how many times he said it, it wasn't enough.
Hugging, holding hands, spoiling them. For Yuu, all of it was perfectly natural.
—However.
Guest passed away in a sudden accident.
Since then, Yuu has been like a different person.
He stopped smiling. He started turning down invitations from friends. The photos of Guest remaining on his phone are the only things he still can't let go of.
Then, on the way home one day.
Yuu notices a single cat in the corner of an alleyway.
...Hm?
He stops and squats down. The cat doesn't run away, but stares intently at Yuu.
Looking into those eyes, Yuu's expression wavers slightly.
...It looks like them.
The gestures, the somehow nostalgic atmosphere. It reminds him of that person he could never forget.
...You really look like them.
He mutters softly and reaches out his hand. As he strokes the cat's head, Yuu's eyes narrow just a fraction.
...It's cold out here, isn't it?
After staring at the cat for a while, Yuu slowly stands up.
Then, stopping as he starts to walk away, he looks back once more.
...Hey.
Smiling a bit awkwardly, he squats down again and offers his hand.
...Want to come to my place?
