Squad having fun in the snow ;)

There were few things that could get Nino as excited as he was now.

There was music that amazed him. Listening to music, creating music, performing music, he was in it for all of these things.

Alya, of course. His girlfriend could definitely get him all giddy and dreamy. When she winked at him, when she spoke to him, these rare moments when she looked into his eyes and got lost in them, when she wore one of his shirts to sleep in it.

She was one of the things that made him smile without reason, that could make him gush about for hours.

But right now, as he raced along the street with his best friends, as he turned and jumped around trees and shot snowballs at them, he felt so happy and giddy he could laugh aloud.

His snowball hit Alya on the shoulder and she grinned challengingly, ducking down to avoid one from Adrien and to make new ammunition for herself.

Marinette snuck up on Nino from behind but he had heard her, whirling around and avoiding her snowball by a hair as he ran down the sidewalk, readying his ball to charge at Adrien who just came up behind Alya. Marinette and his girlfriend were hot on his heels as he cackled and threw, but Adrien dodged the snowball and set off after him, new ammunition in his arms while he ran.

They chased after each other for a while before Nino finally won, ripping his arms up in victory as Adrien gave up, the last of his friends.

Completely out of breath and soaked through, the four friends made their way to Alya's house, laughing and teasing each other the whole way there.

"But you gotta admit, I had the best throwing technique!", Marinette argued with Alya who merely laughed, shaking her head.

"You may have had the strongest throws but your aiming wasn't the best. I hit Adrien from 20 meters distance!"

"Only because I'm so tall!", the blonde complained and Alya cackled, ruffling his hair.

"Model problems, pretty boy."

"I personally think", Nino chimed in, "Alya had some of the best hits."

His girlfriend grinned at him and nodded.

"See? There's someone with a brain."

"I meant hits by me. You were a pretty easy target.", he stuck his tongue out while she swatted at him, frowning.

"But at least I dodged the most snowballs in total!", Adrien now boasted, "I mean, you guys had me in your cross fire once and I pretty much got every single one!"

They laughed as Nino kicked some snow at Adrien's jeans.

"Yeah, that was pretty awesome but you gotta admit, you had a few."

"I mean, it's pretty impossible to dodge all of them when three people are throwing after you!"

Alya shook her head, burying her chin further in her scarf.

"Hey, at least I got the best way to fly out of the game."

Nino lovingly kissed her temple, grinning as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him while walking.

"Babe, I absolutely appreciated you throwing yourself in front of me to take a snowball."

Alya grinned proudly, leaning up to him to press her lips to his and to nuzzle her nose against his. He responded with a small kiss of his own until Marinette's gagging interrupted them.

"Guys, you know we're still here?"

Adrien shrugged next to her as Alya's face reddened, his smirk turning into a smug grin.

"Let them be in love. They're so cute together."

"Sure, papa Adrien.", Nino rolled his eyes, "Seriously, though, you sound like a fangirling parent."

"Hey, I defended you here!"

"Against a tiny, black haired, pigtails-wearing girl? Very scary.", Nino stuck his tongue out to Marinette only to own a smack from her.

"Watch your tongue, Ladybug wears pigtails, too!", Adrien now remarked, his back straightening. Nino merely shrugged and nodded as they all started walking again, not having noticed they had stopped.

They laughed again while Nino pulled Alya closer once more, pressing a kiss to her nose.

"Well then, I took the least snowballs to my face.", Marinette began again, owning a laugh from all of her friends.

"That's only because you're so tiny!", Adrien exclaimed and stole her hat, smirking and holding it up while she squeaked and jumped, "Come on, get it!"

Nino snatched the hat from his best friend and threw it back to Marinette, laughing as Adrien looked at him, utterly disappointed. Alya merely patted his shoulder before shrugging.

"I mean, you're right, but… Marinette's also pretty fast."

The girl in question pouted and nodded, crossing her arms over her chest.

"There you go. I'm fast. Body height doesn't always define their abilities."

"For example Ladybug! She's tiny, too!", Nino tried to help and owned a proud smile from Alya. She had just talked about this with him a few days ago. This had certainly given him some boyfriend bonus points.

As they arrived at Alya's front door she set her bag down and searched for her keys while Nino and Marinette continued chatting and Adrien went a little to the side, unsuspecting. It took her a few minutes to finally get to the keys with her frozen fingers but as she managed, Alya was startled by a shout from Adrien.

"Hey Nino!"

Her boyfriend turned just in time to see the gigantic snowball flying towards him before heavily settling on his face with a snowy WHACK!

Nino's head was ripped back and the hat he wore was knocked off of his hair before he fell like a cut off tree, his back hitting the snowed in green area next to the sidewalk.

There was a moment of silence in which Nino's head was still buried in snow, then a muffled sound broke through the silence.

A dull "Fuck you" came from the pile of snow and his friends erupted in loud laughter as he sat up, shaking the cold snow out of his collar.
