Today's the first day of school, the day where all students are gathered to know their powers; after all you were all at the right age to use your power. You were excited, waiting with a bright smile on your face. You were then called, knowing what to do; you positioned your dominant hand, pointing your palm at the target board. You took a deep breath as you looked at the instructor.

"Ready?" he asks, "In the count of three…" he says as he takes a few steps away.

"One"

You took a deep breath, relaxing.

"Two"

You stabilized your hand, channeling your energy to it.

"Go!"

You gave it your all, a strong blizzard bursts out of your palm. Your face paled, unable to move after what you just saw. Ice. Ice was released from your hand. The instructor was shocked with the immense power you showed. Your fellow first years were amazed, the second year students eyes were surprised, no one in their age group has reached that level during their first year days while the third years were ecstatic since it's not every day they got to see a first year reach the red bench.

"That's really strong (L/N)-san. It's too strong for your age but it's not a little practice can't fix. Alright, take a seat on the red bench with the others. You'll be in the higher classes" he smiles, "Congratulations!"

"Th-Thank you" you forced a smile as you make your way to the bench 'Why?.. Why ice!?' you screamed internally, 'Why…'

As you take your seat, a boy your age was looking at you from afar, while waiting for his name to be called, he observes you. Your body was shaking as your arms hug yourself, your (H/C) strands covering a bit of your face, but what he noticed most of all was your discomfort and that only emotional your eyes show: fear. He looks at your trembling figure as he waits for his name to be called. He took notice of how you'll stare blankly at your hand then shake your head.

"Okay… Next is Kuroko Tetsuya!" the instructor called, looking around, "Kuroko Tetsuya?" he calls again then looks at the group of students, "Is he absent?"

He snaps out of his thoughts, now making way to the instructor "Excuse me…" a voice calls behind the instructor, "I'm Kuroko Tetsuya"

"What the-!" he exclaims, and then sighs "Well, then. I want you to calm down and take a deep breath, channel your energy to your hand. Then when you feel like it's enough to produce your power, release it in one full blow on that target board, okay? On the count of three…"

"Hai" he nods then relaxes, aiming his hand at the target board.

"One… Two… Go!"

Hot azure flames ignite from the palm of his hand, dancing in a wild motion as it spreads throughout the field. The instructor's assistant, luckily, was able to manipulate the flames and she was able dispense it, although, with slight difficulty. Both instructors' eyes were wide with the overwhelming strength the boy possessed.

"That was very powerful, as strong as (L/N)-san" the female instructor said.

"You may sit at the red bench the same with the other students"

The baby blue haired male makes his way to the bench, taking the vacant seat beside you. He glances at you; on the other hand, you didn't notice him. You barely felt his presence, as you continue to take heavy breaths to calm your nerves down until you felt a light tap on your shoulder which startled you.

"Eek!" you manage to prevent a squeal escape your lips.

"Hello, (L/N)-san, am I correct? I'm Kuroko Tetsuya" he says, offering his hand for you to shake

"N-Nice to meet you, Kuroko-kun" you say with a small smile as you accepted his hand, 'His hands are so warm'

[Months Later, Seirin High]

Months have passed and you only attended the basic practice on how to control your powers, you and Kuroko share the same type, elemental powers. Being able to produce, control and manipulate ice; you were pretty strong but you thought otherwise. You despise your powers, despite its strength; you were not able to enjoy it. You hated it so much that you didn't bother knowing the other possibilities it can do. You hated anything related to the cold; your powers were no exception.

You continued skipping practice, hanging around at the rooftop enjoying the warm breeze hit your skin. You were feeling drowsy so you decided to appreciate the warmth and slept on the rooftop since your next class was about how to do some stuff about your powers; you couldn't really care less.

"(L/N)-san… (L/N)-san…" you felt motion, you only grumbled and turned around "…(L/N)-san!" came the voice a little louder

You opened your eyes, only to see Kuroko crouching to you while his hands were resting on your shoulder from waking you up. You look at him, blinking a few times, then plop back to have your nap. Kuroko continued to wake you up again, which was successful. You groaned, sitting up and rubbing your eyes.

"Why are you here? Don't you have basketball practice or something of the sort" you stretched and yawned, blankly staring at the boy in front of you

"Our class in Elemental Manipulation is over, (L/N)-san. Shuza-sensei said we'll have a Practical Test with Elemental Manipulation, Elemental Conjuring, Energy Flow, and Emotional Effects in a week. Also, Aida-san said we should practice for the practical test so our basketball practice is cancelled" Kuroko answers blankly as he adds the fact you missed a whole lot of the practical test's lessons.

"I'm not going" you told him bluntly, picking up your bag as you stood up, "I'll just ditch like always..." you add as you make your way to the stairs

"You can't skip this one, (L/N)-san" Kuroko states as he stands up and catches up to you, "You have to-"

"I skipped every class, Kuroko-kun. What makes you think I'll even pass?" she chuckles, "it's not like you're going to-"

"I'll teach you everything I know, (L/N)-san" Kuroko tells her blankly, "It's three-thirty, by now; most students are dismissed early today, we can use the schools practice grounds here at school today"

"Seriously, Kuroko-kun?" you frowned, "I'll just take up-"

"Let's go, (L/N)-san" he says, wrapping his hand around your wrist as he drags you to the practice grounds.

[Practice Grounds]

"Well, what do we do first?" you ask as you regain your composure

"After they taught us about the basic, you pretty much skipped the rest. So, let's start with the easiest, Elemental Conjuring."

"May kami-sama have mercy on my soul" you muttered, your hand trembling as you start your private tutorial with Kuroko.

[3 days later]

"I don't get it!" you groaned in frustration, kicking the ground as you talk in a wide variety of colorful words, luckily, it was only you and him left in the practice grounds. Again

"(L/N)-san?" Kuroko calls you out, snapping you out of your frustrated state

"What!?" you snapped at him, beads of sweat trailing your face

"What's holding you back?" he asks, "I saw your power during our first day, you're truly powerful, (L/N)-san… But, there's something holding you back… did something happen"

"What makes you think of that?" you asked in a sharp tone, "You don't have problems, you don't know what it feels like to lose something, no, someone dear to you!"

"…" he paused, eyeing her face then her trembling form; it was like the day when they first met.

"I never liked my powers, I never liked anything that has something to do with the cold" your shaking voice told him, "M-My family… We were on a car ride… then a-an avalanche happened… My sister… My Parents… They didn't make it…" you continued, holding yourself as you fight the tears from rolling down your (E/C) orbs, "I-I nearly died from hypothermia… I wish I did… I wish I didn't survive!" you cried, unable to hold back your tears any longer

The baby blue haired male was shocked, but was able to retain his neutral face, he walked towards you, his hands reaching out to you "(L/N)-san… I-"

"NO!" you practically yelled at, a gush of cold air came out from nowhere, "All of you think this is easy for me! Having strong powers, being said a natural at this!? HOW CAN I APPRECIATE SOMETHING THAT KILLED THE ONES I LOVE?!" you yelled as a blizzard was now enveloping the practice grounds, hot tears streaming down your face, "TELL ME, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO ACCEPT THIS!? ANSWER ME KUROKO TETSUYA!" You demanded as the blizzard grew stronger.

Kuroko stood there, his head hung low. He walks towards you despite the brutal force of the cold harsh wind pushing him back; he grabbed your hand and pulled you in his arms as he enveloped you in a tight embrace. Your eyes widened in surprise, feeling the warmth of his body on yours. Slowly, the blizzard you created became weak as it slowly vanished; only leaving thick snow covering the ground.

"(L/N)-san… I may not know what you have been through but… would your family like to see you like this?" he asks softly, holding you closer to his chest, "(L/N)-san, they'd rather see you enjoying this, despite everything that happened, believe me… We would all rather see you smile with what you have…" he pulls away from the embrace, he wipes the tears the stained your face and tucks (H/C) tresses behind your ear. "(L/N) (F/N), let me your warmth, let me help me you" he proclaims as he held both your hands in his, "I want you get pass this, it pains me to see the girl I love suffering from the cold"

"K-Kuroko-kun" you managed to say, tears formed once again but this time, happiness, "Please, not only be my warmth, but my light as well" you smiled softly, enveloped in the warmth shielding you from the cold.
