I really like you and the snow
It was another cold day in a seemingly never-ending series of cold days. „Still no snow, huh?", leaned Erza on the bridge next to him, wrapped in a dark blue jacket and white scarf. Gray just wore his usual shirt. „Sadly no. It has been some kind since the last time", he stretched himself and looked at her. „Shouldn't you go home, your nose is already a lonely icicle", he stated and turned to look at the river, which usually run under the bridge, but since three weeks was frozen with all his life in it. „I'm okay. Look at you. At least put a sweater or something on", she began to rub her nose, which was tickling her. „I don't want to", he declared and she stared at his side profile. Everytime he opened his mouth a cloud formed in front of his lips and instantly vanished. He didn't look cold, but at the sight of him, she got only colder.
She pushed her hands in her pockets. „Do you think the river is passable?", she asked him suddenly. He looked perplexed and knitted his eyesbrows. „Well... It looks like it, what are you plotting?", he asked her suspicious. She lightly punched him in the arm. „Nothing. Just a little ice skating, I guess", she declared while leaving the bridge. „Ice-skating? Seriously?", he murmured quietly and followed her. „Com'on a little fun won't hurt you", she replied and waved at him.
Lucky that there were booths in the city, which lent skates. Erza took a mental note, that she needed to stock her armours up. Actually she never ice-skated before and that was obvious. The moment she put one foot on the ice, she seemed to lost her balance. „wooo...", she let out. Gray appeared behind her. „Really? Erza could it be that you never ice-skated before, so why now?", he asked her, helping her up and offering her a hand. „Thanks", she said and concentrated on putting one front in front of the other. „No, you have to slide, not stomp, you flatfoot", he scoled her playfully. „Watch your mouuu-u-u-uth", she nearly screamed when he released her hand and slid away from her. She nearly lost her balance again. „Well, then I'm not gonna tell you, why I wanted to try ice-skating", she pouted and tried to turn around and slid in to the opposite direction. He chuckled at her clumsy sight and slid back to her. „Okay... gimme your hand", once again he offered her, but this time she slid away from him, gaining speed. Still clumsy, but sliding she escaped from him. „Erza... what are you doing? You know you can't escape.", he declared relaxed, but felt a competition forming. „Ah.. really? Catch me if you can..", she slided away, now playing with him. He shook his head and laughed, taking just enough speed to match hers.
Finally he caught her and pulled her into his chest. He really wasn't cold, something surely must be wrong with him, he thought, as she listened to his heart. It soothed her. „You aren't that bad for a beginner", he complimented her and started stroking her head. „Thanks bighead, but the real reason, why I wanted to try this out, was actually you", she concluded and pushed herself a little away from him, so that she could lock eyes with him. He grinned. „you're too kind", he whispered and his forehead touched hers. „What does that mean? I just wanted to spend time with you, that's something normal, not kind", she explained.
„No. You are kind", he repeated. „And you are a dreamer, joke … hehe it was really fun with you, let's do this again and next time I'm going to win", she declared proudly and challengingly. He shook his head and chuckled: „We didn't even...". She interupted him: „Bop..Bop...Bop" and put a finger on his lip. „It's the thought that counts and the reason to be able to spend time with you".
He knitted his eyesbrows. „You know, you don't need to have a reason. We just can ...". And that was when it began to snow and how! It just didn't want to stop. „Come let's go home or you're really going to catch a cold", he continued and pulled her along. „Did you wanted to say something?", she looked curiously at his back. „Nothing. I just do really like snow, you know", he murmured. She smiled happily and squeezed his hand. „I know", she whispered.
