"When we were in love.
Oh things were better than they are."
He was cute as he ran around playing in the snow. He looked so happy. He made snow angles and snowmen. I got tired and just watched from a bench as he ran around like crazy coming to show me everything he made. I loved each and every one. They were all different and silly looking.
"Yuu! Yuu!" Allen called running over once again this time with a cup of tea in his hands. "Miss Lotto says it'll make you warm again." He smiled handing it to me.
I took it in my cold hands and then smiled at him. "Thank you Aren." I said then patted the spot by me. He hopped up next to me and kicked his legs as he waited for me.
"Do you like the snow?" I asked after a sip or two.
"Yeah!" Allen laughed. "I love it! What about you, Yuu?"
"It's nice I guess…" I said then smiled a bit more. "I like the color."
"White? It's nice but I'd like some colors in it." Allen pouted.
"But if it did then it wouldn't be white." I said.
Allen sat thinking about it for a moment. "Yeah if all white had color then there would be no difference in white and color."
"right." I laughed softly.
"Allen?" a man in a top hat asked as he walked up to us.
"Yes?" Allen asked back.
"My name is Mana." The man smiled kindly at us. "I've adopted you." He said patting Allen's head.
"Really!" Allen exclaimed jumping up and down. "Yuu, I've been Adopted! I've been adopted!" he laughed and turned around to hug me tightly.
"Good news Aren." I smiled hugging him back.
"A friend of yours?" Mana laughed.
"More than that!" Allen turned around and pouted. "Yuu's very special to me."
"Y-you?" Mana laughed in question.
"No it's Japanese." I said correcting him softly I looked up at him and I expected him to laugh at me or something but he smiled instead.
"That's a nice name Yuu." He said patting my head. "I promise you; I'll be good for Allen here." He said taking his the same hand and using it to pick Allen up and bring him to his shoulder to hold him. "I don't expect you'll both love me right away but I'll take my time." He smiled and gave Allen a little shake to get his attention. "Would you like to get some coco with your friend? It's on me."
"Yeah!" Allen squealed and hugged the Mana's neck.
"Alright!" Mana laughed then held out a hand to me. "Want a ride Yuu?"
I stared at him for a second before I stood up and took his hand. "I'll walk." I said and he nodded before walking beside me. Not leading and not following. It was a bit comforting. His hand was that of a good father. I could just feel it.
