A/N: This is an entry for DateMe's February contest, since Vampiress22's fanfiction entry was looking kind of lonely. I've been taking a creative writing course in school and wanted to use this as an opportunity to practice with description. It's also short... but hopefully sweet =].
Freezing
Light from the setting sun flooded across the glistening snowy landscape. It made the normally white substance appear to be a kaleidoscope of colours that danced upon the various slopes. Purple, orange, blue, red, and yellow, were just a few colours that lit up the ground.
It seemed as though everything in the valley were warm; as though the snow would be toasty to the touch. As though it were heaps of melted marshmallows rather then frozen drops of rain. Even the dreary barren trees seemed a little more vivacious.
Just stunning really.
The vast space was filled with a calming silence. This was a place that someone could really clear their head and think. A place to get away from all the excess noise.
Achoo!
Kiba looked towards his companion and sighed. Her cheeks' rosy tint was extremely noticeable against her ivory complexion; though he knew that neither embarrassment nor nervousness were to blame this time around. Her mouth was scrunched up and twitching furiously, as was the rest of her body. If the sneeze had not been enough evidence, when combined with the former three he was absolutely certain of one thing.
Hinata was freezing. Not only that, but she was trying to hide the fact. With very little success. The more Kiba looked at her; the reason for her lack of warmth seemed painfully obvious. Her coat was never intended for winter use… he wasn't even sure if it was good enough for any of the other seasons.
"Are you okay?" he asked her, each word practically dripping with concern.
She tilted her head up and smiled serenely at him, something that would have taken others off-guard. "Jah-just fine, thank you." She replied, her voice being able to power through most of the tremors her jaw was producing.
"No," he sighed as he rolled his eyes at her performance. "You're not." He unzipped his coat and slid out of it. "Here." he held his coat out to her.
Hinata seemed taken aback. "Oh I-I, couldn't." she gasped. "Bah-besides, you nah-need it." She pushed the coat away from herself.
Kiba merely pushed it back. "Nah, I got about five of six sweaters on." He explained with a nonchalant shrug. "And last time I checked," he motioned his chin to her. "I'm not the one shivering up a storm."
She exhaled in defeat and grabbed the coat. "Feh-fine," she grumbled as she slipped it on over her own. "Bah-but only because yah-you insisted." She zipped up the coat and, though she would never admit it, instantly felt her shivering decrease by at least smidge. In spite of herself, she smiled when she felt her arms slowly begin to thaw.
He lips curved into a lopsided smile. "Come on," he urged as he threw his closest arm around her shoulder. "I'll make us some hot chocolate."
A/N: I know… I haven't updated in a LONG time. I apologize. Due to some personal issues, homework load, and university applications I have been unable to write fan fiction in a WHILE. So, I will try (I'm emphasizing this word XD) to update soon.
