Ice Angels
Sleigh Ride
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
"So you, just..."
"Get on the sled and go down the hill. Basically. Then trudge back up the hill and go back down again." Krad glanced down a very large hill that Dark had led him to. The people that had stopped at the bottom, and the ones making their way back up, were nothing but dots.
"But, isn't a bit pointless?" Krad asked as he rubbed his hands together. He glanced at Dark who was only staring at him.
"You go down, sitting, and relaxed, correct? But then you have to go back up the hill which tires you out. But then you get to go back onto the sled and relax. But it's an endl-" Krad stopped, his words not getting off that bitter tonuge of his. Dark had pushed Krad onto the sled, and before it could take off, the violet-haired boy had jumped on as well, pulling on the strings tightly as they bolted down the hill at a horridly fast rate. Krad would have screamed if not for his pride, and instead bit his lip and dugs his fingers into the side of the bright red sleigh. The ice around them seemed to glide by so fast as if it was never there. The sound of plastic and metal against the ice grinded into Krad's ear and he rolled his eyes in detest. This was fun? How was this fun?
Dark hit a bump, and the two went flying into the air. Krad left out a yelp and turned around, grabbing onto Dark on instinct. When they collided back into the soft snow Dark grinned, looking down at Krad.
"It's not the best to ride backwards!" he yelled. They passed a few kids dragging a large tire back up the hill. They watched as the two older males continued to plummet to the bottom of the hill. Krad frowned, but he found he couldn't turn around, or risk falling out and getting a very painful roll down the hill. He'd rather just ride down on this vehicle. Dark grinned again and shouted, "Suit yourself!" Again, they hit a bump and Krad grasped the boy tighter, and winced when they hit the ground again.
"Could you stop that?" Krad asked through gritted teeth.
"What?" Dark asked, looking down. Krad noticed they were slowing to a stop and leapt about three feet out of the sled once it halted. He rubbed his fingers together tightly, brushing snowflakes off his hair.
"I forgot to tell you the air stings a bit, so goggles are good," Dark muttered. He pulled the black goggles from out of his eyes and let them hang from his neck. He was dragging the sled and himself over to a bonfire someone had made at the bottom of the hill.
"Come on, warm up and we can start up the hill again." Krad looked behind him and sniffled. He made his way over to the fire, angrily snuggling in front of the fire. Dark didn't notice until he was pulling his goggles on again.
"What's wrong?" he asked curiously. He started up the hill, Krad following after him.
"I don't see why you're doing this with me," Krad replied. He glanced around, sniffling again. The air was so thin and cold, and it kept making his nose run. A rosy nosed Krad was not a happy Krad, even though he did look like...
"Rudolph!"
"Excuse me?"
Dark grinned, turning back around.
"Forget it. Listen, you were at my house. I thought you were going to go sled riding, so hell, why not go with you." Krad noticed Dark was heaving an exceptionally heavy sleigh up the hill and picked the back up, helping the other male.
"What if I never wanted to go sled riding?"
"Then why did you go along with it?" Though Krad couldn't see his face, he knew Dark was smirking.
"I--You...you pushed me!"
"Then why didn't you leave when you saw the hill? Why are you helping me carry this u-" Dark groaned when he felt the full weight of the sled on his arm again. He glanced back to see Krad standing there, nose and cheeks red. Dark wasn't sure if it was from the cold, or his embarrasment.
"Why did you even bring me here!" Krad hissed and turned on his heel, stumbling his way back down the hill. Dark blinked.
"...Where the hell is he going?"
Dark watched the blonde vanish into the white of the snow that kept falling, and eventually, the woods around the small hill swallowed him up. For a moment, Dark considered just leaving the blonde. What did he care? He was probably going home anyway. Something told him otherwise. He turned the sled and jumped on.

"Will you answer me? How did you know my name?" Satoshi watched the redhead fidget under his intense gaze.
"I just..." Daisuke blinked slowly, looking at the blue-haired boy that was staring at him. Cold ice met with fierce fire, "Your brother...Mentioned it." Satoshi stayed silent for a long moment, and Daisuke could have sworn he could hear the snowfalkes melting, and meeting with the ground in that silence.
"Oh, I...see." Satoshi stuffed his mittens back into his pockets, watching as the boy smiled and turned, signalling for him to follow.
"I think Dark and Krad are already there too, so maybe we can all ride together and-"
But Satoshi wasn't listening. He was staring at the boy's figure as it walked happily down the road's that had been partially cleared. His feet digging deep into the snow and then pulled back up. Daisuke just kept talking happily, and Satoshi knew he was still smiling. Odd. Why was he so familiar..
"Niwa-kun?"
Daisuke stopped and turned, smiling widely, his nose rosy.
"Yes?"
"Will you...always call me Satoshi?" Satoshi fiddled with the lint in his pockets. Suddenly, he felt very warm.
"Of course!" After Daisuke had looked at him, confused, for a moment, the redhead had joyfully obliged and continued on his way. Satoshi followed after him. Maybe he wasn't that bad...
