[The next day]
//
I woke up early,
 The sun was still rising.
 I got up and then I got dressed,
 I left the my house to take my morning walk,
 I stopped at a small
 Coffee shop,
 Ordered a coffee then went to seat on a bench outside.
//

I was walking towards the town cafe.
 The breeze was actually pretty good,
 I wore only a large black coat followed by my cap to slightly hide my face.
 The autumn breeze was so nice ...
 I slowly ordered two coffees before sitting down on a bench waiting for my order
//
I look at the beautiful autumn trees and then I turned my head to see Detective Saihara ..
 What was he doing here ?!
 I panicked slightly before I remembered that he didn't know who I was.
 I just watched him out of the corner of my eye.
//

Waitress: Order for Shuichi!
 I got up slowly,
 Taking both drinks before turning my heels to get out of the coffee shop,
 With the horrible feeling of being watched.
//
He was already leaving-?
 I haven't finished looking at him!
 I smiled slightly as I stood up and then by accident I ran into Saihara-

 Rantaro:
 I am sorry !  Let me help you-

//

I fell to the ground
 Spilling the two coffees on me,
 I was startled,
 Making me burn
 I only closed my eyes really, really hard to stop myself from screaming.
 I clenched my fists to try to stay as neutral as possible.
//
I helped him up and then took wipes out of my pocket to try to wipe off the coffee.
 Unfortunately it didn't work,
 Rantaro:
 I am sorry !  I can lend you my coat, it's cold outside..
//

I hurriedly took off my coat to not to burn myself even more
 Shuichi: It-don't bother!  If I take yours, what will you wear?
 Did I say looking at the sad coffee stain on my white shirt.
//
Rantaro:
 Do not worry about me,
 I have enough money to buy another one, I promise to pay you back after-
 I said taking off my coat, putting it on his shoulders.
//

I jumped at his touch,
 And for a brief moment,
 For a fraction of a second,
 I thought I smelled a faint aroma of vanilla ...
 I only shyly pulled his coat up over my shoulder
 Shuichi: Y-You don't have to do that you know? ..

//
Rantaro:
 I ran into you, so it is my fault.
 Take my Coffee- I haven't drank in it yet and then I wouldn't want to keep you waiting for another coffee, you must be very busy ...
//
I took his coffee in my little hands, yet so cold,
 Looking at him with a sort of admiring gaze.
 He was so nice
 Shuichi: Y-yeah .. you're right ..
 Did I say taking my eyes off him to get up

//
Rantaro:
 Mhm..so I'll leave you, good day and sorry again for the accident-
//

Shuichi: Have a nice day-
 I said, still confused by the situation.
 He had came and gone so quickly in my life ...
 I finally set off to return to the office,
 Pushing open the door to see my colleague sitting at my desk.
 She gently lifted her head staring shyly at me
 Kirigiri: Where's my coffee?  It was your turn today to bring me one.
 Did she say in her usual hard cold tone
 Shuichi: I'm sorry, I had an unexpected event, take mine if you want,
 I said, placing my coffee in front of her.
 Kyoko only shrugged her shoulders before taking it and stealing a sip.
 Kirigiri: Ah and pretty coat, is it new?
 I looked down to realize that I still wore the coat of this stranger with the greenish hair on my shoulder.
 Shuichi: I-I don't know, it's a long story actually-

//

Rantaro:
 {He left his coat - there is still his scent ..}

 I left with the coat home,
 I didn't have a job,
 I have so much money that I don't need to get a job
 I put the coat to wash and then I went to do something.
