Author NotesWell...uh...I've got nothing to say, really...Okay, maybe except that I'm grateful for the reviews!

Hot and cold
Kaiba × Serenity
It was warm and cozy inside, the fire burning in the fireplace, wood cracking in an almost soothing manner. She was holding a mug of hot chocolate in her hands, lying lazily on the large sofa, situated nicely in front of the playful flames. Her hands were slightly cold and chilled from the crisp, Switzerland air and she decided to leave the woolen scarf around her neck.
She curled up slightly, carefully eyeing the mug so not to spill the content all over the expensive piece of furniture. When she finally settled into a desired, more comfortable position, she sighed contently.
She waited for him to come inside after the quick trip to the frozen pond and back. She smiled almost roguishly when she remembered the incredulous look he gave her after she hit him with a snowball. She aimed at his shoulder, but somehow, the ball of snow altered its course and ended up on his face with a splattering sound. She stared at him for a moment before she burst out laughing merrily, not being able to keep a straight face. She screamed a moment later when she found herself on her back, sprawled on the snow and with him above her, with a poised snowball in his hand.
The laughter died on her lips as she stared at him in panic, wondering whether he was going to drop it on her or not. He smirked in return and she gulped, trying to apologize quickly before getting fed with the snow.
"Sorry?" She inquired, more than said, gazing at the deep shade of blue in his eyes, slowly raising her hands in the air to defend herself if necessary. He shook his head and she swallowed, closing her eyes and expecting to feel the skin nipping sensation on her face, but she opened her eyes a second later when she felt something warm on her lips.
He kissed her.
She gave in, snaking her arms around his shoulders, feeling the tips of his hair and the synthetic material of his winter jacket underneath her mittens.
He backed away after a while to look at her with the same smirk on his face and then pulled her up off the snow-covered meadow, leaving only a small hole in the snow.
"Let's go inside," he said in a low voice and she nodded in agreement. It was getting rather cold, no matter the setting sun on the horizon. The winters were always brisk and sharp in the mountains. She turned around to walk inside but he stopped to glance at the warm, deep colors on the sky. The dusk was on its way.
She glanced at him then entered the residence, closing the door behind her softly.
And now, she was sipping hot chocolate and gazing thoughtfully at the fire cracking in front of her. When she heard the sound of the doors creaking open, she smiled, waiting for him to come and sit down next to her.
She waited, listening to the rustling sounds of jacket being taken off and shoes being placed beside the entrance. She could hear the tapping sound of his feet crossing the carpet until she could practically feel him standing right behind her.
She wanted to tell him that the chocolate was still hot when she squeaked suddenly, almost dropping the mug. She could hear him snicker behind her and she turned around slowly to glare at him, snow covering the top of her head and dripping down to slide across her face.
"You..." she started, glaring at him with narrowed eyes. Placing the mug on the coffee table beside the sofa, she got up to chase him across the room, when he stopped her by clasping his hands around hers and pulling her towards him.
And to kiss her again.
"Am not going anywhere." He replied.

Last words- Well, there it is. I hope you liked it. The idea came to me while writing a new chapter for CUMK. And yes – I am going to update that soon, as well...I've spent enough time procrastinating.
Oh – I drew a sketch of Mai and Joey (related to the previous, third chapter) and posted it in my fanfic blog. The link is on my bio page. Well, if anyone's interested...you're free to comment!
