Summary: While she has it, she'll enjoy it. Like having him around.


The jacket smelled like Kouji. Sweat and light, anger and compassion, all rolled up into one. Izumi kind of wished she didn't have to give it back to him. It was still a little nippy here, even as they left the snow-capped terrain behind. But ahead rose the market, cupped in a warm embrace, and she had no more reason to keep it.

The jacket didn't feel like him, though. From the few times they'd touched, she knew that very well. Where it was warm, he was cold, and where she could wrap it around herself, he always stepped away.

While she had it, though, she would enjoy it as much as she could, just like being around Kouji.
