Mei and Yuzu had gotten married a little over 4 years ago, during the winter.

It had not taken long for Yuzu to set the date for the wedding. The morning after the proposal, Mei had woken up before Yuzu, as usual, only this time instead of getting out of bed and performing the morning routine of, turning on the coffee machine and emptying the bladder, Mei sat up and then immediately laid right back down to cuddle with Yuzu.

"What's the matter?" questioned Yuzu in a relaxed and tired tone, with her eyes still shut.

"Nothing, it's just cold today," replied Mei back, resting her cheek on Yuzu's right breast that was still exposed from the activities the night before, and wrapping her arm around Yuzu's stomach. "It's making me not want to leave your side. Your soooo warm," Mei said, taking in a breath Yuzu's scent, closing her eyes, and wrapping her arm even tighter around the blonde. "I love it." She was trying her best to ignore the urge to use the bathroom, as well as the anxiety and uneasiness she felt in just laying there unproductively instead of getting ready to start the day. She was a woman of organization and routine, with nothing being more important in her lifestyle then following the schedule.

But then again, this was Yuzu. The only one that could get Mei to flip her life upside down without even knowing she was doing it. Mei took another deep breath and shook off the thought that 10 minutes had gone by and she still hadn't moved. She was enjoying the calm, peace and quiet of the Friday morning. Unfortunately it would be short lived.

Yuzu suddenly gasped loudly and abruptly shot up to a sitting position and scaring Mei who immediately thought the worst.

"What?! What's the matter?! What's wrong?!"

"Mei I got it!" Yuzu replied, patting Mei on the knee and turning to adjust herself on the bed so she sat facing opposite Mei who seemed to have a less frightened expression on now. "I want to get married when it snows."

Mei exhaled sharply and relaxed her shoulders, mumbling the words 'you scared the crap out of me' before looking back up at Yuzu. "Why snow? I mean. Why when it snows? Oh man I have to pee!" Mei shot out of bed, running out the door in her black silk nightgown and turning left, into the bathroom. She didn't bother to turn on the light or close the door and all that was heard from inside the bedroom where Yuzu was, was the sound of pee and the moan of relief that was following it by Mei.

"You're kinda killing the romance here!" Shouted Yuzu from the room, and reached down to the floor, grabbing her pajama top that she had not bothered to put back on the night before.

"Sorry!" Mei shouted back, flushing the toilet and turning on the sink, "I couldn't hold it anymore!"

"Yea uh," said Yuzu standing now right outside the bathroom in her grey pajama tank top and shorts with a hand to her hip. "You ask me to marry you last night and told me to set a date. Now I do, or am about to I should say. And! I'm about to tell you why. And you run away." Yuzu smirked at Mei who held a smile as she dried her hands and heard the rant. When she rolled her eyes Yuzu smirked and teased, "one day Ms. Aihara, I am going to stop chasing you. Wait and see. And I know your going to get all upset and then be all 'oh but Yuzuuuu I love you' and I just won't hear any of it."

Mei chuckled at Yuzu's imitation of her before remembering a past conversation Yuzu had had with Harumin on how it was impossible for Yuzu to get comfortable in bed now if Mei wasn't around. "Oh is that so? But then how will you sleep at night without me to snuggle up against you?"

"I'll manage. I'll invest in a teddy bear."

"Really, a teddy bear?" Mei questioned and hoped that the irony would catch Yuzu quickly. When Yuzu nodded, she realized that it hadn't, so she kept going. "Wouldn't a teddy bear just make you think of me though? And how horribly cold I must be because you didn't chase me and instead are there snuggling up with the plushie that could of just been me if you had only bothered to go after me in the first place?"

Yuzu was left with her mouth left open, as if trying to think of a comeback that was in the tip of her tongue but not being able to do so. She had started this tease war and now she had lost. Closing her mouth she just turned and walked away from the bathroom door towards the kitchen but was stopped just a few steps into the hallway by Mei's arm which had wrapped itself up around the blonde's waist from behind. Mei kissed her on the cheek and apologized for hurting her pride and continued to hug her from behind.

"You're going to be late if you keep this pace up," said Yuzu, enjoying the moment of affection from Mei.

"I know, but I'm still waiting for you to tell me why a snow day? I'm not moving until you do so."

"Well if that's the case I shouldn't tell you then. Unlike you, I don't rely on my morning cup of coffee and I'm not the one that has class in about an hour. So we can keep this up all day."

Mei made a groaning noise and placed her head on Yuzu's shoulder. "Mmm coffee."

Mei began the task of wobbling her way towards the kitchen whilst still holding onto Yuzu, which caused the blonde to laugh at noticing it, and turn after a few wobbles. After giving Mei a small kiss, she rested her arms on top of Mei's shoulders and said, "I want to get married on the first snow day of this year. I want it because then, every time it snows, I will be reminded of you and how I belong by your side to keep you warm."

It was then Yuzu's turn to hug Mei, except this time it wasn't from behind and neither one of them were joking around. "You're my home Mei. And soon you will be my wife. I will always be there for you because without you, I'm lost."

So on a random Thursday, towards the end of December, Mei and Yuzu stood outside a courthouse surrounded by their friends whom had all either called in sick from their jobs, or missed their classes that day so that they could be there to support the two. Ume had also attended the ceremony, though believed a more traditional wedding with an actual set date should also be done on account of Shō not being able to attend a random snow day one, and both Mei and Yuzu agreed to this as well, not to mention it would be nice to have an actual wedding with the rest of the family, and cake, and the dresses.

That wedding would take place later in the spring of the following year.
