A/N: The is my first Bade Prompt. It`s the May Adopt-a-Prompt Challenge. The Prompt was "Special Snowflake". Hope you like it.
Standard disclaimers apply. I`m too lazy to spell them out.
Snow is swirling around you. The whole world is a mess of white against gray sky and you've never seen anything like it. Beck's arms wrap around you from behind as you try to make sense of your pristine surroundings.
"What do you think?" the hot breath from his whisper tickles your ear and you shiver.
"It's... Beautiful," you sigh, attempting to turn around and bury yourself in him.
"You know what's more beautiful?"
"What?" you turn fully and gaze up into his eyes.
"You." He kisses the center of your forehead firmly, holding you tight to his chest.
You close your eyes, perfectly happy to remain in this position forever, not caring about the tiny ice crystals melting on your face to create a slowly freezing layer of moisture.
Suddenly, you no longer feel Beck's powerful muscles griping your body. Your eyes pop open and you're prepared to question him. There is a crunch and a wet SLOSH before your face is covered with white frosty mush.
You wipe your face with the back of a gloved hand. "Beck," you snarl through clenched teeth. "What was that?"
"A snowball," he declares, chuckling kindly.
"No kidding. Why'd you throw it?"
"Because you've never seen snow," he grabs you again, this time lifting you up and swinging you in a circle. You struggle to contain your laughter.
He holds you by the shoulders after he sets you down, staring blissfully into your eyes. "Has anyone ever told you that you look gorgeous with snow in your eyelashes?"
"No," you answer, swiping at your face again, still bitter from the snowball. "I've never seen snow, idiot."
"Wait," he reaches out and grabs the wrist of the hand rubbing at your eyes. He appears to stroke the tip of your nose with his fingertip. "Look," he holds out his hand.
At first, you see nothing, just his glove. You give him a confused look just as it catches your eye. A single tiny snowflake, perfectly formed, sits on his index finger.
"Each snowflake is unique," Beck explains as it melts. "Just like you. You're my snowflake, Jade. My special snowflake."
"So pretty much you're saying I'm cold and fragile," there is no menace behind the words. You say them softly, almost jokingly.
"No," he replies patiently. "I'm saying you're perfect, beautiful, and one of a kind. But the only difference is I know you'll never melt."
"I can't promise that," you half-whimper.
"You don't need to," he soothes, smoothing your hair tenderly.
"But-" you start, only to be cut off as he raises a finger to your lips.
"I'll always love you even if we don't end up together. Our relationship is a snowflake too. Pure, unique, perfect."
"But snowflakes melt," you insist childishly.
"Ours won't," he assures you.
"It's a special snowflake," you decide contentedly.
A/N: I had serious concerns when I wrote this that it would be too mushy. I hope it`s not too "movie-perfect" if you know what I mean. Either way, I had fun with this. It seemed a bit more real than some of my other stuff.
Please leave a review and validate me. :)
