Once Upon a Winter

Author's note: Hamha! It's me, Pichu Bros. Fan again! Yes, I know. A lot of my stories are unfinished, but I'm going to finish them all up by remaking them. This is the first of my Hamtaro Fanfics, and it's mainly an H+B Love story, set in the middle of winter. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Hamtaro, Ritsuko Kawaii does.

Chapter one: Taken In

A Small, Orange and white hamster trekked through the waist high snow, fighting with all his might against the Blizzardous winds.

Hamtaro was on his way to the clubhouse.

He wrapped his small wooly scarf tightly around his neck, and walked on. His nose was growing small icicles on them, and his snow cap had been blown askew. Right as he reached for the door handle, it burst open. A Small, pure white hamster with two pigtails on either side of her head stood in front of the door.

"Oh, Hamtaro!" She gasped, pulling him in. He was shivering, his nose was bright red, and his eyes where slowly closing. "W-Warmth…" He shuddered out. Bijou nodded abruptly, and pulled him through the other door, into their clubhouse.

A few of the ham-hams where already there, including Cappy, Pashmina, Penelope, Panda, and Sandy

"Oh, everybody! Get blankets, get hot sunflower tea!" She yelled, placing him in Boss' chair by the fire. They all looked up from what they where doing, and grabbed all the blankets they could. They wrapped him in layers of wool blankets, and gave him some hot tea. He looked up gratefully, and sneezed. "T-Thanks Bijou." He said, sipping his tea. She blushed lightly and nodded again.

"Anytime, Hamtaro." She said. Suddenly, Boss burst through the door.

"C-c-cold…" He stuttered, his ears covered with frost. He collapsed in front of the fire, his ears facing the warmth. He looked to the side, still shivering. Bijou was stroking Hamtaro's head as he had a sneezing fit. Boss' Ears and face turned brick red, his hands clenching to fist.

"Ooowa!" He moaned flakily, scrunching up his face. "Oh, my ears!" Bijou Turned to look at him. Boss opened an eye. "She's coming this way!" He thought blissfully. He shut his eye. "Ooooh! How they burn!" He opened an eye again. "She's next to me!" Boss smiled to himself, blushing.

"Cappy, vill you be a dear and get Boss some blankets? Hamtaro needs some tending to." Boss opened both his eyes in shock, his mouth open. He growled lowly, taking the blankets from Cappy.

"Oh Hamtaro, you zilly boy! Vhy did you walk all zis way?" Bijou asked, getting him a new mug of acorn tea.

"W-well…" Hamtaro began, his nose beginning to return it's original pink colour. "I wanted to see everyone today." He smiled to himself. Bijou shook her head, grinning.

"Hamtaro, you know ve could have visited you if zat iz vat you wish!" She said in her French accent.

"I know, but Laura was home! It was because of something she called a 'snow day'." He replied, twitching his ears as the numbness melted away.

"Well, I am just glad you are safe." She said, stroking his forehead again. Hamtaro blushed. Boss looked away, his expression pure envy.

"How can Hamtaro get the girl?" Boss thought to himself, closing his eyes. "He has nothing I have! I'm handsome, smart, and strong!" He sighed, and looked at the ceiling. "She's probably just pitying him."

And with that, Boss snuggled up in the blanket, and fell right asleep.
