For Day Twenty-Six, I wanted to write Ginasusa and put the RNG in and got prompt 27-as a suggestion. Hope you all enjoy. You can check it out on AO3 too.

Knock, Knock

Without another warning, the door opens as a young woman steps inside. Susato turns to see Gina coming inside the Sholmes Suite, closing the door behind her. It’s a bitter cold day and she’s holding her jacket close. She’s shivering in place, her frame shaking as she tries to lean on the wall. She must have been caught up in the blizzard.Susato frowns, grabbing a blanket and placing it on Gina. She leads her to the couch.

“Good evening, Miss Lestrade.”

“Hi, Sooze.” Gina smiles weakly. “Fanks.”

“What brings you here so late?”

“It was real cold and I couldn’t see through the snow, so I stopped by for a spell.” Gina sighs. “That storm is real bad. Ya don’t mind, do ya?”

“No, of course. Let me get some tea for the both of us.” Susato goes back to the kitchen, turning on the gas stove.

“Where’s Oddo…or anyone else?”

“Oh, everyone else is asleep. I have no idea how they do it. I haven’t been able to sleep for a while.” Susato admits with a sigh. “It’s really cold in the attic and though I keep trying to maintain the heat in the furnace, it’s not enough. So I came down here for a cup of tea.”

“Oh, did I scare ya?” Gina frowns. “’M sorry.”

“It’s okay. I’m just relieved it wasn’t someone trying to break in.” Susato admits, pouring the tea and bringing it over. “I just wasn’t expecting visitors so late in the evening. Well, you are welcome to stay if you’d like. I know Mr. Sholmes wouldn’t mind.”

“I fink so.” Gina hums with a smile. She looks down at the teacup. “Oh, wut tea is this?”

“It’s a vanilla chamomile blend. I was hoping that Iris was right that it can help with sleeping.” Susato takes a sip of the surprisingly sweet blend.

“Yeh, that sounds good.” Gina takes a sip, sighing. “Kinda sweet, but at least it’ll keep me warm.”

The two watch the snow fall. From the inside, it’s actually a rather pleasant thing to enjoy.  Tomorrow, the reality of the smog and dirty snow will be clear in the light of the day, clinging on the snow. For now, it's just lovely to watch it fall. The tea has also done its job of warming Susato up internally. She grabs the cups and teapot, sitting back near Miss Lestrade and getting a blanket of her own. She’s not going to bother to try to sleep in the cold attic again.

“You warm enough?”

“Eh, not really.” Gina admits. “I heard a kiss gets people all warn ‘n cozy, though.”

“Heehee.” Susato giggles at the cute attempt of flirting Miss Lestrade tried. “Very well.”

She leans over, kissing Gina’s cheek without any warning with a soft smile. Her face brightens up, bright red as Susato grabs a blanket and snuggles up next to her. “Well, wouldn’t you know it? I think you had a point, Miss Lestrade. You are a lot warmer.”

“Uh…yeh.” Gina stutters, turning her body away. “G’night, Sooze.”

“Goodnight, Miss Lestrade.”
