All told, the day really had been rather eventful: arriving to the ski resort early that morning, spending a better portion of the afternoon up on the slopes, and now, in the bitter chill of the frigid mountain air, curled up in a special lover's suite, in front of a blazing fire beneath a thick blanket, with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate and one very cute girlfriend.

Priscilla pouted at him. "What?" she asked. "I didn't make a fool of myself out there, did I?"

"Huh?" Sain blinked. "Oh, no. Not that! I thought that you did very well."

She smiled and curled in closer to him. "Thank you," she said. "You weren't bad, either." For a few moments she didn't say anything. "Sain, what are you thinking about?"

Distracted once again by the dazzling vision of loveliness pressing against his body— in some areas, the pressing was in a way her charming brother surely didn't approve of— Sain once again took a few moments to respond.

"Ah. I was..." He paused for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to phrase his thoughts. "I was trying to figure out how a guy like me could have ever ended up with a lovely lady such as yourself."

Priscilla laughed again. "And you're sure that I'm your first serious girlfriend?" She leaned toward him and pecked his lips affectionately. "You're so sweet."

Sain smiled at her. "I try, love," he told her. Somehow, he managed to wrap his arm around her and pull her closer, and as the two sipped contentedly at their cocoa Sain decided that he could put up with a stubborn and overprotective brother-in-law, if only for her.

Um. Yeah, I still can't write fluff to save my life.
