A/N: Jesus Christ how do I begin... I'm so scared of screwing this whole thing up so sorry if this just doesn't do good. There has to be a first time for everything I guess! (If you can't tell i have never actually written anything and posted it anywhere public, except for that one time but it was het :/) Hope it's not too OOC. I tend to do that loads.
Disclaimer: I own EVERYTHING ;) BUT the boys :( Hope you don't find it as rubbish as I do, errrk.
P.S: when i use the word 'unfit' in this story, i mean as in the opposite of athletic, not unfit as in not attractive. i would have just used unathletic, but according to the dictionary on my computer there is no such word. and i can't stand to see that red squiggly line. just to clear things up. carry on~
Bobble Hats & Sleds - Chapter 1
It was the day of the first snowfall, also known as the day where christmas tunes would start to play a little louder, stores would decrease their sales a little lower, and the parents of little boys and little girls' wallets get a little lighter.
And like any other little boy of his age, Tom Fletcher squealed to his heart's content when he saw the glistening blanket of white that magically appeared outside of his bedroom window. He plastered his little hands against his bedroom window, marveling at the sheer white coating of dust outside as he sang "Mummy! Daddy! The snow's been!".
After countless tugging of arms and impatient stamping of boot covered feet, Tom and his parents finally reached their local park, which was covered with joyful, energetic children everywhere - which was definitely not what Tom had expected, or wanted.
Ever since the sudden influx of people moving in to the newly improved town, the streets have abruptly been littered with many more people, which meant many more children too. Tom frowned slightly at the sight. He sometimes had a bit of trouble with making friends. He didn't like change.
Ms. Fletcher sensed Tom's discomfort and kneeled down in front of her disappointed son. "Hey Tommy," She turned Tom's head to face her with her hand. "I know you don't like this, but you have to share the park with the other kids. I bet all those children are lovely. You might make some new friends there too. Daddy and I didn't walk with you all the way over here for nothing, right?" She whispered, an encouraging smile upon her face as she tugged the sides of his bobble hat over his forehead. The pom pom on top of Tom's hat shook up and down as he nodded. He obeyed his mum's orders and walked towards the crowd of kids, dragging his wooden sled with a frayed piece of rope behind him.
Tom trudged his way slowly up the snow covered hill to test out his new sled. Well, not exactly new, his cousin gave it to him when he got a new plastic one, which came with stickers you could decorate it with. Tom didn't even know you could make sleds become such a big deal. Once he reached the top of the hill Tom felt a sense of pride. He had specifically picked the one hill where most of the kids ventured away from, as it was a long way up for seven year olds like Tom. And children's short attention spans didn't help either, as it would have at least took Tom ten minutes to climb that hill, and he wasn't the most unfit seven year old boy out there. Tom placed his sled onto the snow, crouching down and adjusting it so that he had a clear space to slow down and stop on.
Just as Tom was about to sit down and test his sled, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, causing Tom's vibrantly striped blue and green hat to fly off his head and away with the wind. "My hat!" Tom chased after the bright article of clothing, dropping the piece of rope he clutched with his hand, leaving his sled unattended without a thought. Tom's hat swooped and flew over children's little heads, like a bird who had regained it's sense of flight. Tom pushed through the small amount of children residing on the hill, mumbling a few 'excuse me' and 'sorry''s here and there, keeping his eyes on his runaway hat. After a few minutes of flying, the hat decided to take a rest. On a certain boy's face.
