So this is where I'll be storing all of my SasuNaru drabbles that I come up with randomly. They're too short to be all single stories, so each chapter is a new ficlet/drabblie. Reviews are encouraged, as is constructive criticism. Random flaming for the pairing will be used for making s'mores.

Title: One Winter's Night

Rating: K+

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or bridges. Or snowflakes.

A/N: Inspired by a cute pic I saw once. Somewhere on Photobucket, I dunno, but it was awesome and so I wrote it. x3 Oh, and sorry if the sap rots your teeth. I swear three of mine fell out while I was writing it.

The chilly winter air nipped at Naruto's fingers as he swung them happily at his sides, then winced as one of them lost its feeling. The expression did not go unnoticed by Sasuke, who rolled his eyes and took Naruto's hand in his own to warm it up.

"I told you to wear your mittens," he sighed, rubbing his thumb across Naruto's cold skin.

"And I told you that I don't know where they are," Naruto huffed, swinging their joined hands and watching his breath condense in the air. "Besides. They make me look like I have no fingers."

Sasuke laughed and they walked on, along the frozen path through rows of frosty grass and naked, scraggly winter trees. Naruto hummed tunelessly, blissfully content with life in general, his tan scarf flapping wholeheartedly behind him as he half-skipped across the cement. Sasuke admired his childlike demeanor, quickening his pace to keep up with the blond's energy.

"Sasuke, look!" Naruto stopped suddenly, pointing excitedly ahead of them. Sasuke raised his free hand to his eyes to try and cut through the twilight gloom, trying to see the object of his companion's interest.

"It's… a bridge?"

Naruto freed his hand from Sasuke's and darted on ahead. "Come on!"

Sasuke followed obediently, managing to reach Naruto in time to snatch the back of his jacket and prevent him slipping off the bridge railing, where he'd been trying to climb up, and into the water below.

"Waah! Sasuke! Let me up!" Naruto struggled in Sasuke's grip, causing his purple ski cap to slip down his face. "I wanna walk on the bridge!"

"You are walking on the bridge, dork." Sasuke leaned down to face-level with Naruto and pushed his cap back up. Big blue eyes stared up at him in an indignant pout.

"Not the bridge bridge, the railing! It's more fun!" He pulled away and set one foot on the railing, gripping the safety bar with one hand and preparing to launch himself up.

"Wait a minute, you're going to kill yourself doing it like that."

Naruto was surprised but thankful when strong hands gripped his waist, lifting him up safely onto the skinny metal surface. He grabbed Sasuke's hand to keep balance, and stood shakily on one of the supporting posts of the side rail.

"See?" he grinned proudly, eyes shimmering with accomplishment. "I can do it!"

Sasuke nodded, smiling fondly and keeping a careful eye on his partner as he helped him steady and take a few testing steps across the railing. Naruto quickly became more daring, walking quickly on the slippery metal with the helping hand to stable him.

The night air rapidly became more bitter, the breeze not so much nipping as biting, and Sasuke saw Naruto shiver even from under his thick burgundy jacket. They finally reached the end of the railing as a harsh wind almost swept him into the river below. Naruto's teeth chattered and his fingers felt like they were going to fall off, despite even Sasuke's comforting hold on his hand.

"Okay, end of the line." Sasuke turned to face Naruto and held out his other arm to him. "Time to come down."

"I c-can't. It's t-too h-high." He shook with cold and looked at the ground in trepidation, biting his lip in fear.

"Don't be scared." Sasuke looked up at him encouragingly. "I'll catch you."

Naruto whimpered and, closing his eyes, stepped forward into empty space.

He was caught easily by strong arms and tumbled further into them when his shoes touched the ground. Sasuke held him close, trying to warm him up as best he could while Naruto tried to burrow into his black trench coat.

A cold wind swept them, and Naruto peeked out over Sasuke's arm. His eyes widened as he noticed the white haze that was settling over the park.

"Sasuke, look…" he whispered. "It's snowing!"

The delicate flakes fell slowly from the pitch-black sky, melting instantly when they touched Naruto's face and hands. He opened his little pink mouth to try and catch them on his tongue but they carefully avoided him, much to his disappointment. He pouted and buried his face into Sasuke's neck.

"…I love you," Sasuke whispered against the soft wool of Naruto's cap. The blond boy smiled, hugging his taller partner tightly. But even after a few more moments of the embrace, he couldn't do anything to suppress a formidable shiver that made Sasuke shake as well.

He laughed as Naruto frowned, embarrassed. "We should get back and get you warmed up before you catch pneumonia."

He kissed Naruto lightly on the nose and pulled away, but wrapped one arm around his lover's waist to keep him close, as he steered them back towards the city lights and home.
