With a turn of the key, Eli stepped inside and turned on the lights, brightening the house.
Roman was asked to sit on the sofa while Eli poured him a cup of hot water to warm his hands.
"Wait a moment." He ran to his room and took out the gift that he had prepared. It was quite a big box.
"For you." Eli bowed his head slightly, feeling a little shy.
Roman opened it and saw a dark blue beanie, a blue and white striped scarf, as well as gloves and boat socks of the same franchise placed on soft padding material.
He bought him a warm 4-piece set in regards to his fear of the cold?
Roman was speechless. The better Eli treated him, the deeper his heart sank in guilt.
"You don't like it?" Seeing his silence, Eli was a little disheartened.
Roman got up to hug him and his voice trembled slightly. "How can that be? I'm just so moved." Then he whispered, "I didn't prepare a present for you."
