A/N: I intended this to be a two chapter story, but the other half didn't really suit me too much so I'll just leave this as a one shot. If you feel like reading the second chapter, feel free to visit my LiveJournal community.

Soul encouraged Maka to keep her stance, to keep her head in the game. They battled the snow monster for as long as they could before Maka slid under its legs on the snow. Confused, the monster looked around and Maka took her chance. She yelled out a battle cry, then brought her weapon down. The snow monster was now cut in half and it disintegrated after its death. Soul took in his human form to claim his prize: a fiery red demon soul. He gulped it down, and sighed out his delight. After his meal, he looks down to find Maka squatting down to the snow building something.

Soul raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

Maka looked up at him like a child would and then smiled back down to her creation. "Making a snow bunny," she replied.

"Why?"

"Me and my Papa used to make them all the time during Christmas time when my mom was still married to him. Now that they're divorced and I've grown detached from my useless father, we don't do that anymore. But I do miss those times. Besides, you never really see snow in Death City, so I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can while I'm here."

Maka took a moment to make out the form and when she was satisfied, she pulled her mittens off and carefully placed a two pebbles on the head to make out the eyes and pulled out leaves from a tree for the ears.

"There," Maka declared standing up, proud of her creation. "Done!"

Soul studied her snow bunny while Maka placed her hands on her hips. It was a palm sized rabbit made from ice with black pebbles for eyes and frosted green leaves for ears. Gotta admit though, it did look cute. In a way. Soul smiled a lopsided smile and bent down to the rabbit. Maka watched her weapon partner closely.

Soul dug around the pockets of his coat and pulled out a puffball of loose cotton. He balled it carefully and precisely before putting at the snow bunny's rear end, to signify its bushy tail. He dusted his hands and shoved his hands back into his warm pockets.

"Now," he smiled at his addition, "it's done."

If you were to see the bunny from a far, it would look like it would come to life at any moment. Maka had her hands back into her mittens before holding them behind her back. "Yeah. Now it is."

Soul hmph'd and lifted his chin. Snow was gently falling down from the gray sky and one landed on Soul's nose. He brushed it off while Maka smiled with glee and held out her hands.

"It'll be a shame to leave this place," Maka murmured. "I really do like the snow."

Soul sniffed. "It's alright."

Maka glanced over to her partner and had her hands to her back again. "Hey, Soul."

"Hm?"

"What do you do during Christmas time with your family?"

Soul was surprised. Of all things to ask? And from Maka? He thought she would never ask anything about his childhood. But then again, curiosity did kill the cat.

He shrugged. "I just get presents from the tree, played the piano to the family and had dinner. Nothing really special."

"Oh. I see."

Maka was interested and wanted to hear more, but stopped herself. She played around in the snow with her foot.

"Well, Christmas is coming up. Do you want to spend it with me and everyone else when we get home?" She was hopeful, and she wanted to make Soul's Christmas enjoyable for him, for once. Smiling, Soul wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pressed his forehead to hers.

"I was thinking of just you and me spending it together. I think that would sound more fun, don't you think?"

Despite the bitter cold, Maka's face blushed a bit when he was a few inches away from her face, their noses almost touching. She smiled too and giggled. "I'll think about it."

Soul pulled away and shrugged. "I can work with that." He kicked the snow then trudged away. "Let's go home. My ass is freezing."

Maka nodded, and paid one last look to her little snow bunny. She bent down and built a small fort of snow around it. "Well, it was fun while it lasted," she spoke to it. "I hope I get to see some snow again soon."

"C'mon Maka, hurry up or I'm leaving you behind!" Soul yelled lazily.

Maka perfected the snow fort, got up and followed her partner's foot steps in the snow, leaving her innocent little bunny behind.
