Day Two! ALL RIGHTS TO RICK RIORDAN

Day 2: Cold

Frank hadn't seen snow since he left Canada five years ago. California was nothing but sun and it made him feel homesick sometimes. But when he went with Hazel to visit Annabeth and Percy in New York to visit their godson, he felt closer to home than he had in years.

"It's snowing, Hazel!"

They had left their hotel to go see Annabeth and Percy, but they were snowed in. the streets were closed off. Nobody was going anywhere, the hotel owner had said.

"I know," Hazel said grumbling. Frank didn't understand why she was so upset, but he was too happy to really notice.

"Don't you just love snow?" He asked her. He was making deep holed in the snow with his boots and smiling like a little boy.

"No."

Frank turned at her, his eyes wide.

"What!"

"I said that I don't like snow," Hazel said wrinkling her nose.

Frank felt himself starting to pout. "But… but why?"

"I lived in Alaska during the worst year of my life, Frank"

Frank immediately felt horrible. He had totally forgotten about what had happened to Hazel in Alaska.

"I'm so-"

"And because it's cold."

"…Wait, what?"

"I don't like snow because it's cold. I'd rather have something warm."

Frank looked at her dumfounded.

"I'm going inside now." She turned on her heel and started to walk back into the hotel, but something cold hit her in the back.

"OW!" She turned around and saw Frank smirking at her. He pulled another snowball from behind his back.

"Please don't Frank, please."

He took a step closer to her.

"Frank, no!" she yelled. She tried to run, but it was too late. Frank had run toward her and lifted her off her feet, crushing the snow in his hands and rubbing it on her neck in the process.

Hazel screamed and she fell to the ground, trying desperately to shake the freezing ice from her clothes.

Frank laughed, falling to the ground beside her. Hazel pushed him over and they started rolling around in the snow.

They continued that way for hours, wrapped in the cold of Manhattan and Frank didn't mind. Not because he felt closer to home, but because Hazel was all the warmth that he needed.

Yes, no, maybe? This was personally one of my favorites :) R&R!
