Light in a Snowfall

"Love is a risk that no girl W.A.N.T.S to do but ends up doing anyway..." --Cassie

"Wow! Look at the snow fall, Mom!" a brunette joyfully exclaimed as she watched the snow fall gently to the ground. She leaned closer to the window, pressing her nose against the icy glass and watched some more. "It's so…beautiful…Mom…" she whispered this time. "I love winter…even though…it's cold," she said to herself.

She kept gazing at the snowflakes, falling and drifting towards the ground until there was a knock at her door. She looked over her shoulder and yelled politely, "Come in!"

"Am I…" a familiar silvery gray head poked in, "interrupting something?" asked older teen as he smiled. He cocked his head and asked again, "So, am I interrupting something?"

The brunette sat up from her previous position and panicked. "Oh! No! No, no, no, no, no, no! You weren't interrupting anything! Not at all!" she quickly replied, waving her arms in front of her. She stopped and smiled, "Not at all. I was just…talking to Mom, that's all." Her eyes glazed over as her mind recalled the wonderful mother-daughter memories.

"Miss Honda?" Yuki Souma asked politely as he cocked his head once more. "Are you alright?" He stepped inside her room and looked at the surroundings. The walls were pretty much blank and boring, as the floor and the ceiling. Then again, aren't all ceilings?

Her bed was already made and all set for her to climb in and sleep. Her bed sheets were a color white while the bed itself was also that color. And the pillows, too, showed no sign of Tohru Honda's personality.

A lamp was the only decoration that sat on her table. It was set on top of what seemed to be a Sakura tree's wood. The lamp itself was a beautiful shade of pink, decorated with flowers and feathers.

There was a closet where she could keep her clothes, backpack, and other stuff inside. There was also a mirror and another table near her bed. On top of the table, there were ribbons—and I mean a lot of ribbons. There was also a brush and some other of female necessities.

Come to think of it…this is the first time I've been into her room and really looked at her things…Yuki Sohma thought to himself as he surveyed the room. He hadn't noticed how odd it was to have a guy like himself to take in the details of a female's room until Tohru broke his thoughts.

"Um…Yuki? Are you alright?" asked the brunette as the other teen blinked once…and then again before shaking his head. She cocked her head and step towards him. "You…looked like you were…" she started and decided not to finish, "Never mind!" She smiled.

"Eh? I'm alright…it's just… Just forget it. It's nothing," he said changed the subject. "Um...Miss Honda? Shouldn't you be sleeping by now?" he asked as the brunette's eyes lit up.

"AH! I'm sorry! Did my light bother you! I'm so sorry! I didn't know! I promise! I won't do it again!" she continued to apologize and wave her arms in front of her chest and shaking her head over and over again, until Yuki stopped her.

"It's alright. I was just wondering what you were doing, that's all," he replied and turned his head so that it faced the window.

"Oh! I was just watching the snow!" she replied with a happy smile.

"Eh? Why?"

"Because it's so pretty when it falls! And each little snowflake is like a person! Each unique with its own different designs—like each person's qualities!" she smiled again and led Yuki to her window. "See? Even in the right light, the snow itself isn't really white. It's a kind of blue if you look real close…"

Yuki came up close to the window and indeed, the snow was a very light blue color. Not like the white he was used to. He had always thought that snow was white. And white was a boring color. Just blank. Nothing.

But blue…it was an unexplainable color. Unable to recreate using other colors—unless you use blue itself. And the light blue…it was beautiful. Turquoise, teal, cerulean…all different kinds of blue. Of course there was also blue, dark blue, navy blue…but…the snow was just a light grayish blue. In just the right light, it was blue.

"It's…beautiful, Miss Honda," he breathed out the words, carefully choosing what words to use. "It's just like…" He couldn't describe it. There were no words to describe the snow. Other than cold, and watery and sometimes "dirty"…there wasn't a right word for it.

"Yuki!" Tohru suddenly cried out with another happy smile.

Yuki looked up, startled and asked, "Eh?"

"It's just like you!" she said without realizing what it sounded like. "You see…the snow may seem so cold and unhappy—just like you are. But…it really is beautiful if you keep looking into it and deeper…" her eyes glazed over as she thought about it. "To most people, snow is just a nuisance…a waste of other good times…like for farmers, they think that snow is just a waste of time. Not giving them enough time for growing crops. But, if they just kept looking, then maybe…they'll see that snow is really very beautiful…"

Yuki watched her as she kept talking, each word she said reached into him and hugged him, giving him warmth and comfort. Her words were like…a warm thick blanket, wrapping and protecting him from the cold. He blushed at the thought that Tohru was comparing him to snow and saying that they were alike. She liked snow—and a lot apparently.

"…AH! I'm so sorry! Now I've kept you! I'm so sorry!" she bowed furiously and her face redden from embrassament.

Yuki shook his head and replied, "No, of course not. I'm glad I came. Anyways, it's getting late so I think we both should get some sleep." Tohru's head nodded in agreement and Yuki smiled as he got up. "Goodnight Miss Honda," he said and slid the door close, disappearing from view.

"Goodnight Yuki…"

That was the beginning.
