Love and the Weather

By angellwings

Snow

Where it's snowing
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do

"I've decided that I love New York during the Holiday season," Kelsi said with a contented sigh.

"You have, huh?" Ryan asked in amusement.

"Mmhm, I'm kind of sad that we won't be here for Christmas," She told him.

"Christmas in New York isn't that great, trust me," Kelsi's roommate chimed in. Mychal was a native of New York City and didn't quite see what her roommate was being so wistful about.

"For you maybe, but I've never been in New York on Christmas," Kelsi told her.

Ryan smiled warmly at her, "You just like New York when it's covered in snow."

Kelsi glanced around the area of Central Park they were currently strolling through, "Do you blame me?"

He shook his head, "Definitely not."

Kelsi reached down and grabbed some snow. She packed it in her hands as she began walking again. Ryan turned to glance at a few kids making a snow man, and Kelsi chose that moment to attack. With a little jump she smashed the packed snow on top of Ryan's billed toboggan. He jumped in alarm as some of it fell down his jacket. He flailed about as he tried to rid himself of the cold and frozen precipitation. Once that was accomplished he glared at Kelsi from where he stood. He slowly reached down and picked up his own handful of snow. Kelsi yelped and ran away to hide behind Mychal.

"Do NOT get me involved in the flirting!" Mychal yelled as she jogged away from the pair.

Kelsi took off and Ryan chased after her. She slipped on a patch of ice but managed to come to a stop in front of an even bigger patch of ice. She moved to try and avoid it, but Ryan came barreling into her before she could. Ryan grabbed Kelsi around the waist and twisted them around in the hopes that he would take the brunt of the fall for Kelsi. He managed to land on his back, and Kelsi had also managed to land on her back. She'd also landed on TOP of him.

"Ow," Ryan said with a groan.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay, Ry?" Kelsi asked as she frantically rolled off of him on to the ice.

"Yeah, I'm fine. My butt is a little sore, but other than that I'm fine."

Once they caught their breath they attempted to push themselves up, but they were in the middle of the ice patch which led to them slipping again.

"I don't think we can get up," Kelsi said worriedly.

"Oh no, we WILL be getting up," Ryan said with determination.

Kelsi glanced around for Mychal and found her sitting on a park bench flirting with a guy in an NYU sweatshirt. Kelsi rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Mychal won't be helping us anytime soon."

Kelsi glanced over at Ryan to see him slithering to the edge of the ice. She grinned and bit back a chuckle. He finally reached the edge and stood up. He reached out for her and she gladly accepted his help. He used the ice to slide her to him.

"My butt is officially numb," Kelsi laughed as she reached him.

Ryan grabbed her other hand and pulled her upward. Once she was fully upright they both realized how close they were. Their faces were only about an inch apart. Kelsi gulped nervously as Ryan began to lean in.

"Hey!" Mychal yelled to them just as Ryan was about to close the distance. At the last minute though he changed trajectory and kissed her forehead instead. Kelsi let a soft frustrated growl escape her lips before she turned to face her roommate.

"What?" She asked irritably.

"Are we going to get coffee or what? I need caffeine!"

Ryan chuckled and grabbed Kelsi's gloved hand.

"C'mon we better humor her before she goes homicidal on us."

This is for the Ryelsi_Fans Irving Berlin challenge so there are more songs/prompts to come! YAY! These probably won't go in chronological order...just according to whatever whim I'm feeling at that particular moment. The entire series will be called "Love and the Weather" but this individual drabble is called "Snow"...ENJOY!
