A/N: This came to me as I was sitting in the dentist's chair watching snow fall through the window. At this time of year, with all the snow that's now on the ground, I feel it's the perfect time to write Hatori fics. This one is a drabble where Hatori is contemplating his opinion on snow. Hope you enjoy!
You would think I'd hate the snow. That the soft white flakes laying siege to the earth would remind me of what I once had. Snow does remind me of that, and of her. But more than that, snow is comforting. It reminds me of my own personality or rather, the what I have to be. The untouched expanses of frozen moisture reveal nothing but a facade indifferent to the world. The cold warns most away, and no one can stay near it for long before they must retreat to their warm homes. And who knows what the snow hides? Can anyone truly guess what lies underneath the white sheets, what secrets are hidden beneath?
Yet the snow calms me. Whether it's the numbing cold or the tranquil silence that comes with it; I'm never sure. I've always loved to go out on my porch when it's snowing and catch the flakes in my hands. Every once in awhile I'll throw caution to the winds and lie in the snow. The peace of that is the most wonderful of all.
I wait through every year for the snow. When it's there, I feel like I don't have to be or do anything. I can just be a little, slowly falling individual with no responsibilities or ties. That feeling is what I look forward to from the snow.
Please review and thanks so much for the read! n.n
