Day 11: Euroshipping (Ryou/Seto) - "Snowfall"
~ o ~ o ~ o ~
"Isn't it just beautiful?"
Seto hummed beside him. "I suppose."
"You suppose?" Ryou laughed. "It looks like a snow globe out here, it's gorgeous. Lighten up a little, will you? It's Christmas." Ryou snuck his hand into the crook of Seto's arm. "It's so white everywhere I can hardly tell where to walk."
Ryou heard a low chuckle beside him. "Yes, you'll blend right in and vanish into the landscape soon, never to be seen again. Well, I suppose it was nice while it lasted. Goodbye." Seto automatically adjusted his pace to match Ryou's as he spoke. "Actually, it's a shame it's not snowy for Halloween. You'd be able to sneak up on anyone that way." He paused so consider that. "On second thought, good thing it's not. You'd be unstoppable, and that's a terrifying thought."
"You mean delightful. It's a delightful thought."
Seto scoffed. "You have the strangest priorities."
There was silence, and Seto glanced down to see that he was on the receiving end of a highly judgemental look. They stared at each other for a beat before Seto broke the silence. "No comment."
Ryou just laughed and rested his head on Seto's arm for a moment. Then, he tilted his head right back and stuck out his tongue.
Seto looked down when he stumbled a bit and raised an eyebrow. "What exactly are you doing?"
"ca-hing ho-hakes onai tung."
"….what?"
Ryou closed his mouth and grinned. "Catching snowflakes on my tongue. For luck!" He started to stick his tongue out again, then paused. "You should, too. Double our chances." Ryou didn't wait for a response before tilting his head back again.
Seto rolled his eyes a little, but poked his tongue out of his mouth a little after a few steps. He drew the line at tilting his head back, though. Someone had to actually watch where they were going and make sure they didn't trip and fall flat on their faces.
Ryou let out a shout beside him. "Got one!" He turned to beam at Seto and let out a joyous laugh when he caught him with his tongue out, too. He reached up with a smile to steal a quick kiss, before settling back into Seto's side.
The pair soon fell into easy conversation about the latest gaming projects at Kaibacorp as they wandered down what was probably the path, and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the gently falling snow.
