"Okay, ready!"
Seraph checked herself once more in the mirror before nodding her head in approval. She then hurriedly dashed towards the door where Esper was waiting by. She intertwined her fingers with his before they walked out the door.
The two decided to take a stroll outside at the park nearby because they haven't been out very much lately and decided to go right now because it seemed like it was the perfect day to do so.
Gentle breezes played around with their hair as they walked on the sidewalk, their shoes making a crunching sound each step they took on the blanket of snow. Each breath they took created a small puff of warm air due to the cold.
Seraph snuggled a little deeper into her knitted scarf as she tightened her grip on Esper's hand by a small amount and he returned the gesture.
The two friends walked in peaceful silence as the entered the park through its entrance. Children were scattered about playing in the snow. Snow men were being built, snow angels littered the ground, and fast flying snowballs were dashing through the air. It was a festive sight to see.
Seraph was smiling tenderly at the playing children as she observed them, but she didn't realize that she was about to step on some frozen ground and slipped. She let a small yelp as she fell, but unfortunately, she was still holding Esper's hand and ended up pulling him down with her.
With a thud, the two fell onto each other.
Seraph was covering her face with her sleeves, a large blush quickly spreading on her cheeks. Esper just looked at her in wonder of why she was so embarrassed, it was merely just an accident, right?
She made a small squeak as Esper gently lifted one of her arms away as he leaned closer. He stopped just barely inches away from her face. Seraph's blush began to reach the tips of her ears now.
Her voice shook as she piped out, "A-add.. w-what are you-"
"There's some snow on your nose."
As if on queue, snow began to fall gently around them.
One snowflake landed delicately on her nose. Carefully, Esper wiped off the snow on her blushing face before he lifted her up onto her feet.
Seraph quietly coughed as she brushed her clothes off to get rid of the remaining snow.
"Uhm.. t-thank you for helping me up."
"You're welcome, and next time, Eve, please watch where you're going. We know how clumsy you can be." He gave her a small smile.
She was still a little red from the incident, but she smiled back at him with a nod.
"Hey, how about we go back and get some hot chocolate then come back here to drink it?"
He hummed in approval of the idea with a slight nod before he offered his hand. She gladly took it and they started walking back. Seraph kept looking at the ground to make sure that she won't trip on anything along the way, much to Esper's entertainment..
The two were now sitting on the edge of the park's fountain, drinking their hot chocolate. Seraph had her head on Esper's shoulder as she took a sip from her cup.
The snow danced, twirled, and floated along the wind. The playing children were still laughing merrily as their parents watched barren trees were carrying piles of snow on their branches, the string of lights wrapped around their trunks gleamed and blinked brightly. People were ice skating on the glistening, frozen pond, cheery smiles on their faces.
It was truly a perfect day.
