AN: Enter in the mindless drabble of my mind! Okay, so it's probably not as bad as that. It's just another one of my quick one-shots(where I spend about 15 minutes writing a one-pager fanfiction to get my mind going on the actual thing). So I hope that some people enjoy this fanfiction. It's TenKoboshi.
Winter Dreams Be
Koboshi looked so beautiful as she stood in the midst of the falling snow. Takashi's breath caught in his throat as she turned around and smiled at him.
'So beautiful...'
She held her hand out towards him. Her laughter caught on the wind, surrounding him. Taking him completely in the wondrous music. There was nothing else but Koboshi. Just beautiful Koboshi.
And the quiet snow.
The snow fell all around them, capturing them in silence. It closed off the world around them until all that was, was just the two of them. And he wouldn't have it any other way. He didn't want anyone else to interrupt them. Let everything and everyone else fade away.
"Ten-chan!" her voice reached him. "You're so far back, Ten-chan!"
"Aa!" he gasped, startled back to reality. "I-I just... Yeah."
He walked up to her, each footstep bringing him closer, but each time he seemed to slow down. It was like walking in super-slow motion. He wanted to be by her side so badly, to hear her say his name again.
He wanted her to see only himself. Forget Kotarou, see only him.
"Uematsu," he breathed, finally reaaching her side. "Thanks for waiting for me."
"The snow's pretty, isn't it?" said Koboshi, reaching her hard out to catch a few flakes of the falling snow.
"Yup, it sure is," he agreed, never looking away from her. "Very beautiful."
"Ten-chan... I'm really glad that you're here with me," she whispered, her voice almost too quiet to hear. She looked up to him and smiled brightly. "I am."
"S-So am I," he stuttered, feeling his face heat up. He looked away and hoped she wouldn't notice it. He needed to change the subject. And fast. "I-I wonder where Kotarou is."
There was a moment of silence. It nearly killed him.
"I don't know," she said finally. "And I don't really care. You're here with me. That's all I need."
He could feel himself blush deeper.
"Ue... matsu... Wh-What are you saying?"
"THat I only need you to be with me, silly," she laughed at him. "I love you, Ten-chan."
His eyes went round in shock. He composed himself before turning to face her.
"Don't tease," he said sternly. Why? Why now was she saying those things? He knew how she felt about Kotarou. That woujldn't change so quickly. Not for no reason... and not for him. "It's mean."
"I'm not teasing, Takashi-kun," she cooed. "I love you."
His heart fluttered and he couldn't stop those words...
"I-I love you, too, Koboshi-chan."
Takashi's eyes fluttered open. His heart was racing in his chest, and delightful memories played over in his mind. It was that same dream that he'd had so many other times. That same dream that he had only on winter nights. The dream that he most loved to have.
"Koboshi-chan..." he murmured, rolling over in bed, "I love you."
