Natsuki had always loved winter. She loved watching the snowfall from the sky and make everything sparkle. She loved seeing Christmas trees decorated with beautiful lights that lit up the night and she loved snuggling up with Masumi and a nice steaming up of cocoa and freshly baked cookies. She also loved making love to Masumi on the colder nights for when she was with him, she never noticed that it was cold outside. It was perfection.

It wasn't completely uncommon for someone to find Natsuki sitting beside a window, watching the snowfall, especially at night, when she claimed that the snowfall looked the most beautiful.

And it wasn't uncommon to see Masumi sitting with her.

"Masumi…did you know that there's an Ice hotel in Scandinavia?'" Natsuki asked one night, as they cuddled beside the window of their shared bedroom. "I read it in a book."

"Yeah, I remember hearing about that." He murmured. "I bet it looks beautiful."

"Natsuki wants to go there someday." She said quietly. "Natsuki hopes to someday see the world."

Masumi placed a kiss upon his wife's shoulder and cheek. "And I want to someday give you the world, Natsuki."

She turned and smiled at him, before she turned to look at the sparkling winter wonderland that was just outside the window. "Masumi has already given Natsuki more than she could ever hope for."

"But that doesn't mean that I can't want to give you more." He pointed out as he got up to fetch them some cocoa. "I want to give you everything your heart desires, Natsuki. Is that too much to want?"

She turned away from him for a moment and let her eyes travel to the gold wedding band on her finger…the symbolization of their eternal love for each other. And then, she felt her hand slip over her stomach and rest there for a moment.

She looked back at Masumi, who was busying himself with the cocoa. Two years of marriage to him and the seasons had flown by. She could scarcely believe that her caring husband had once been a surly, pessimistic young man. Funny what love could do to a person. She smiled.

Masumi came back to her in a moment, holding out the yellow mug with her cocoa on it. "Your favorite, right?"

She nodded eagerly and accepted the offered mug taking a deep sip of the warm cocoa. The warmth spread through her body and she giggled. "You always make it perfectly."

He sat down across from her and took a sip from his black mug. "Thank you."

For a moment, the Strong Adventurer was confused. "For what?"

The Fast Adventurer looked into her eyes and replied. "For giving me everything I could ever hope for. Your love has been the best thing that's ever happened to me and I never want that to go away."

She sighed dreamily and snuggled against him, her eyes still on the sparkling snow outside the window. She looked at him for a long moment and then pressed her lips to his in a gentle kiss.

"Neither does Natsuki, Masumi…neither does Natsuki."
