The Snow's Fault
The snow had been falling constantly the last few days. It was quite beautiful; casting a white bed on the ground, which would glow in the dark, assisting the moon in the cold night. Winter was my favorite season. It was full of beauty, joy, and hot cocoa.
Of course, being himself, Ittoki wanted to play in the snow. "Come on, Nanami! Come play with me!" His gorgeous ruby eyes shined with hope. I swear, his smile was the brightest I've ever witnessed before. If it was possible for a grin to be the length of one ear to the other... that's how big his would be. It was the type of smile, that no matter what mood you were in, you were forced to smile, and enjoy the happiness.
"Alright," I replied, smiling back at him.
We must have been running around for hours in the snow. We built snow men and snow forts. We even had a snowball fight! It was one of the best days that I could remember; the most fun that I've had in a long time.
I was sneaking up behind Ittoki, ready to attack him. But suddenly he turned around, catching me off guard. I slipped on some ice, and I could feel myself falling in slow motion. Masculine arms wrapped around my waist, but it was too late. The two of us fell.
The impact wasn't too bad, somehow Ittoki managed to whirl us around to have me land on top of him. Once I had opened my eyes, I saw that beautiful smile of his. It lit up my world, causing my heart to beat faster and my breath caught in my throat.
He sat up slightly, leaning on one of his elbows. He then raised his hand to gently fix my hair behind my ear. Still smiling he asked, "Are you alright?" All I could do to reply to him was nod.
Our gazes were locked on one another. It was as if we were in a trance; we couldn't look away. His hand that fixed my hair was on my cheek, caressing it. The gentle stokes of his thumb was sending tingles all throughout my body, it felt as though I was vibrating.
I couldn't help myself from glancing down and his lips. I caught his orbs flickering in the direction of mine a few times, as well. But he also caught me looking. Within an instant, his lips met mine. It was a sweet chaste kiss, just like how I thought it'd be; Ittoki is a sweet guy, so why wouldn't his kisses be.
Once we pulled apart for air, we smiled at each other, that's when we heard the others. "Haruka, Ittoki, would you guys like some hot cocoa?"
Ittoki's hand trailed down my jaw, stopping just under my chin. "I guess that's our cue to head inside," he said somewhat sadly, as if he didn't want that moment to end, and neither did I. I nodded along, knowing that there would be more moments like the one we had just shared.
