Characters: HikaHaru

Genre: Fluff

Triggers: None

Hikaru scooped a handful of crunchy snow and patted it down into a solid ball, all the while grinning slyly at the ever oblivious girl walking ahead of him. He purposely let go of her hand and fell a few steps behind but she didn't seem to notice nor care, too distracted by Ouran's Christmas decorations.

Her eyes filled with golden and red hues as she watched the seemingly endless miles of lights strung around the campus. She wanted to curse the wealthy who could afford such splendor but at the moment she couldn't form the thoughts, completely lost in their Winter Wonderland.

However, her moment was short lived when she felt a cold ball of snow hit the back of her neck. Freezing ice slipped underneath her coat and scarf which rain violent shivers down her back.

She turned around just in time to catch Hikaru patting down another snowball. At being caught he dropped the snow where he stood and nervously chuckled as he took a step back.

Haruhi didn't want for his apology.

"Hikaru! That's really cold." She crossed her arms and stomped forward.

Hikaru held his hands up and laughed, "Come on Haruhi, that was funny. You should have seen your face."

Haruhi stopped and narrowed her eyes at him. Carefully, she bent down, scooped a handful of snow, and without bothering to pat it into a ball threw the powdered ice at Hikaru.

Hikaru, shocked by her playfulness, tried to scurry backwards but slipped on the icy sidewalk. He fell on his butt with a hard crunch.

Haruhi ran to him and dropped to her knees beside him, "Did it look like that?" She asked, trying but failing to hide her satisfied smile.

She shoved another handful of snow down his wool coat, making sure it was stuffed into his clothing. Hikaru yelped at the cold sting running down his neck.

He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and squeezed her arms to a stil, forcing her to drop the third handful of snow she had just grabbed, and pulled her on top of him.

"You can't beat me at my own game." He teased, matching his mischievous eyes with her's growing with frustration.

Haruhi tried to wiggle free but to no avail. He was too strong.

She soon gave up and sulk into his chest, blowing out a sigh of surrendence. Though, she couldn't stop the growing smile crossing her lips.

Hikaru chuckled and kissed her nose, "You're something else."
