1. Outside the Window
Snow is rare in Sweet Amoris. Maybe a particularly cold drop of rain or flake that melts as soon as it hits the ground (or sooner), sure that happens, but it's been a long time since the town's been treated to a real snowfall.
Winter is dreary there - so cold and wet. And no snow to top it off. White Christmases were a thing of dreams and stories. Most inhabitants hadn't ever seen one.
"It's chilly, huh, Vie?" Kim asked as they walked to school. She was wearing her usual outfit only differed by the black pilots jacket flapping in the cool breeze.
Violette turned her head slightly to regard the tall girl. "No wonder... You are wearing shorts!" She answered, blush dusting her cheeks. It wasn't just from the cold. But she definitely wasn't going to complain about Kim's exposed skin...
Unlike her friend, Violette had gone all out in dressing for the weather. Donned with thick stockings under a cozy wool dress, zipped up fleece jacket, and tall winter boots, she looked like she was going to face the Arctic.
"Least I'm not bundled up as tight as you... How many layers do you got?" The girl chuckled softly.
"Enough to not complain about how 'chilly' it is!" Violette giggled. The answer made Kim laugh a bit, which in turn made Violette happier.
Finally the school building loomed above. "You ready, Vie?" The dark girl asked, looking down at the other.
"Yeah," she answered. "Ready as I'll ever be, in any case."
They walked in together. The school's heating was apparently not working, as it was almost as cold as it was outside inside. They kept their layers on, much to Kim's discomfort. She complained about it to Violette as they walked to class. "Inside is supposed to be warmer than outside!"
Violette didn't answer as they had arrived at the door. She held it open for Kim, who headed in and sat by her assigned partner. The shorter girl did the same and went to sit by Priya. It was her favorite class, and usually she paid good attention, but today it felt different. She couldn't keep her eyes on the teacher or her assignment. One may guess where she was looking.
The rest of her morning classes were lonely as she shared none of them with Kim. Finally, lunch rolled along and she met her friend in the gardening club, as always.
It was even colder than it was in the morning. Ominous clouds covered the sun and cast the world in a grey hue.
"Brr..." Violette whispered, looking up at Kim. Now she seemed as if she didnt notice the cold, which didn't make sense.
Kim looked down and rolled her eyes. "Eh, you're the one with all the fluffy clothes and stuff!" Even so, the girl smiled at her. "Aw, c'mere."
Startled, Violette moved nearer to her. "O-ok..." she could see her breath puffing out in front of her.
More to her surprise, Kim reached behind her head. The shorter girl froze, unsure of what to do. Kim was really close to her... She was just at the wrong height... Well, for Violette it was the perfect height.
A second later Kim pulled Violette's hood up. It made it a little hard to see, hanging over her eyes and covering the sides of her face. But it did warm her stinging ears.
"T-thanks..." She stuttered, looking up to see Kim stepping away from her. Part of her was disappointed and another was relieved. She had to tilt her head up severely to see the tall girl's face.
Kim snorted. "I just pulled your hood up, Vie. Not like i saved your life or something."
"I guess you're right... Um, wanna go back inside? It's a bit too cold for me..." Violette said quietly, standing up.
Kim followed suit and they went back inside together. Once there, a clock revealed they only had a few minutes of free time left.
They chose an empty classroom, intending to hang out there until the bell rang. Kim leaned against a desk while Violette perched herself by the windowsill.
They settled in a comfortable silence. That is, it was silent until...
"Kim?"
"Yeah, Vie?"
Slowly the girl looked away from the window. "Come over here," she breathed, barely audible.
Kim stood up and made her way over to Violette. She looked out the window and her eyes widened.
"It's snowing!" She said incredulously, turning to look at Violette. Their eyes met and they stood like that for a long moment.
They were both thinking the same thing. Thoughts of cold vanished from their minds as they got outside as fast as possible.
The wind has died down, leaving the thicj, fat snowflakes to fall down slowly and peacefully. A few stragglers left in the courtyard were also looking at the sky in wonder.
"It's snowing, Vie! It's actually happening!" Kim was smiling and laughing, happier than Violette had ever seen her. Flakes sparkled in her dark hair and stuck on her lashes.
Violette was laughing too. She was happy about the snow, of course, but more happy about Kim. She was content to watch the taller girl spin around the courtyard with arms spread, catching snowflakes on her tongue and laughing.
Who knew she would love snow so much?
But before she knew it, Violette was shivering. Even though a miracle was happening right in front of her eyes, she was still cold.
Crossing her eyes, she noticed her nose was pink. Slowly, she brought her hand up to her face and touched her nose. Yes, it was numb. She drew up her hood and smiled as Kim walked over to her.
The tall girl was out of breath. Snowflakes clung to her, shimmering. She looked so pretty.. But of course, Violette couldn't say anything. She could only grin back.
"Vie, aren't they beautiful?" Kim asked as she let flakes collect in the palm of her hand.
Violette nodded. Not as beautiful as you, she thought and blushed. Her face was already red, so Kim wouldn't notice.
"Cat got your tongue?" The taller girl blew into her hand, sending fluttering snowflakes into Violette's face. She just blinked in surprise.
"Uh, I'm just cold..." She answered meekly, trying to keep her teeth from chattering.
Kim chuckled and looked up again at the sky. "I know how to fix that."
"Hm?"
In one swift motion, Kim pulled her close, leaned down, and put her lips on Violette's pink nose. For a long moment neither of them moved, until Kim took a step back. "Better?"
Cold as it was, Violette was burning. "Y-yeah..."
She suddenly lost the appeal of kissing in the rain. That was nothing compared to this.
The bell rang not long after, but they couldn't care less.
So, I found a site. Called think written. And I found a list of 365 creative writing prompts
I don't take credit for the prompts. Please feel free to use them and interpret them however you want!
Because obviously I'm a lazy piece of trash who can only come up with depressing one shots, I decided, hey, let's do this thing. And because of I have too much free rein I crash and burn, I'm limiting myself to my favorite ship in the whole world: Kimolette.
(Basically a collection of Kimolette one shots.)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing a story a day. Oh no, I'd fail the second day in, haha.. So I'll just write these in order whenever I can. Might add a few a day or none for a week... We'll see!
As always, this was written on my phone. I apologize for all the stupidity my thumbs have typed.
I hope you enjoy and give some feedback! I also hope I will continue this! Have a great day!
Byyyyyyyyyye!
