Snow drifted past the trees as we walked together in the freezing cold. Our shoes crunched on the frosted ground, jackets pulled close for warmth. Cars streaked past in blurs of color against the blue and white backgrounds. I puffed hot air onto my chilled fingers in an attempt at keeping them warm. The weather was ridiculously cold, even for me. I could tell Gilbert wasn't used to this either, but he seemed very entertained at seeing his breath swirl in a transparent cloud. I smiled to myself, flexing my fingers and trying to get the blood flowing. A gust of wind blustered against us, blowing snow into my face and neck. We both visibly shivered. I mumbled something about it being unusually cold with a slight chuckle, wiping off the melting snow.
"I know a cool trick to getting your hands warm really fast, if you wanted to try it out." Gilbert suggested, glancing at me. I pushed up the glasses that were falling down the bridge of my nose.
"Hm? What is it?" He stuck his hand out to me.
"Give me your hand and I'll show you." I shrugged without thinking much on it, and placed my palm in his, blinking up at him with large violet eyes. He smirked triumphantly and closed his fingers around my hand, letting our arms swing by our sides. "You fell for it." He grinned happily. I looked down out our fingers, laced together and warming up slowly, and smiled up at him, squeezing his hand lightly.
"Neat trick."
Thank you for reading!
Sorry it was so short, but I really wanted to post something and I haven't gotten any of those multi-chapter fics done yet.
I hope I brightened your day at least a little. If not, now you know how to be smooth.
I do not own hetalia!
