A/N: A reviewer asked if it was going to continue. I decided why not, and gave this story an actual plot.


Kazahaya shivered in his thin jacket. Rikuo was beside him, warm in his new fur coat that he bought with money that he 'borrowed' from Kazahaya. It was six in the evening. The Green Drugstore was covered in snow, and Kazahaya looked out the window, where it was snowing yet again. "Ugh, why did it have to snow," he complained for the umpteenth time. Rikuo eyed him coolly, almost as if he were planning something.

"Ugh, so depressing," Kazahaya said. Rikuo stealthily came up behind him, and whispered into his ear. "Then why don't I cheer you up with a cup of hot chocolate?"

"Don't sneak up behind me, pervert!" A blush, on Kazahaya's part, and silence soon followed. "I'll make the hot chocolate," Kazahaya said with annoyance while walking to their small, shared kitchen. Presently, a soft knock was heard.

"Come in!" came Kazahaya cheerfully. Kakei entered the small apartment with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"What's with that look on you face?" Rikuo asked with suspicion. Kakei frowned before he replied.

"Well, you're going to have to come look for yourself out the windows, actually."

"Huh, what's wrong?" Kazahaya asked, his head poking out of the kitchen. The curtains opened soundlessly, and Rikuo's expression unexpectedly showed the briefest hint of surprise. Kazahaya, curious, nearly dropped the tray carrying two mugs of steaming hot chocolate when he looked out the window.

"W-why are those snowmen…moving towards the drugstore?" Kazahaya said, filled with dread and panic.

"That is what puzzles me," Kakei said. "I didn't see this coming, which means that someone as powerful as me must be controlling them. But don't worry," he said, noticing how pale Kazahaya had become, "these snowmen are easy to take care of."

"I suppose that you expect us to get flamethrowers and destroy them that way?" Rikuo said sarcastically.

"Actually, yes," Kakei replied, "but you have to melt the core to kill them. They're small, like marbles, and are made purely out of ice. And after you do that, you'll get a week-long, paid vacation." Kakei produced two flamethrowers from seemingly nowhere and handed them to Kazahaya and Rikuo; he said with a smile, "Have fun," and left.

"I really don't want to do this," Kazahaya complained.

"Well, we do get a paid vacation for a week, you know," Rikuo replied. Ending on that particular note, he and Kazahaya went downstairs to defeat the snowmen.


It was midnight when Kazahaya and Rikuo staggered back into their apartment. Saiga knocked on the door, and Rikuo was the one that answered.

"Kakei wanted me to tell you that your vacation begins now," he said, and promptly left, never taking off his sunglasses.

"Oi, did you hear that?" Rikuo said.

"Do NOT call me 'Oi'," Kazahaya answered before throwing a pillow in his general direction. The little ice spider in the corner of the room disappeared after this exchange.
