A/N: Written for the Furaba Flash Bingo, #198 – winter.


Depressing Winter

Winter was a depressing time of the year. The streets were always cold and wet and that made him feel horrible. School was out, so there wasn't anyone to even pretend to hang out with – not that he was going to admit he got lonely. And the dojo was emptied out as well. Only him and Shishou…

Which wasn't so bad. But it was less than everyone else got.

And then there were the New Year's celebrations. The humiliation. Having to sit outside in the cold and snow and rain while the other cursed ones got to dance and drink and be jolly.

Not one happy thing happened in winter to make it a little bit more bearable.
