Warnings: Retardedness in the form of I-can't-write-anything-but-crap.

Pairing: Hayner/Yuna

Sassy's Note: I was so lost for ideas for this one…

Snow

"It hardly ever snows like this in Twilight Town."

"I don't know if I could enjoy winter as much without snow."

The sweet girl with soft brown hair and a gentle smile tilted her head back to the sky. She caught a few flakes on her tongue. Hayner watched her, entranced by her every move. If he had ever doubted before that there were multiple worlds out there, he surely believed it now. No one from his world could ever move like that, look like that, just be like that.

"Where are you from?" he asked her, feeling the sudden need to know.

She smiled at him, differently colored eyes warming. "Spira. It's a lovely place now that we have our eternal Calm."

"Calm?" he asked, noticing the way her smile fell just a little bit.

"Yes. Spira has been through so much. The people finally deserve their time of rest."

They were silent for a few moments, the snow drifting down around them and gathering on the ground. There would soon be a blanket of white across the town.

"What made you leave Spira?" Hayner asked quietly.

The girl smiled again. "With Spira safe, I can move on to help new worlds in need of their own Calm. It's… what I'm meant to do with my life, how I can make my own story."

"Story, huh?" he asked with a grin. She giggled and nodded and spun in a circle, a small flurry of snow at her feet. "How many worlds have you been to?"

"A few," she said, staring skyward again. "Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands… now here. All peaceful worlds."

"Are you going to look for one that needs your help?"

"Yes."

Hayner let further questions die in his throat at the look on her face. It was one of determination, aimed at the sky as if it personally had caused the strain in the worlds.

"What brought you here?" he asked instead.

She looked over at him. "I'm not sure," she said, voice light. "It just seemed like such a lovely place that I had to stop and see." She held up her hand and caught a few snowflakes. "And I was rewarded with snow."

"Which is not very common here," said Hayner with a grin. She laughed again.

"Strangers to a world always bring something with them." Her face softened. "I have to go now."

"A-already?" he asked, mood falling instantly. He'd only just met her.

"Yes. I have to go to Destiny Islands."

Biting back his dejection at seeing this girl leave, he asked, "Destiny Islands is safe, isn't it?"

"Yes, but there's someone there I want to see." Her cheeks colored a bit. "I miss him."

Hayner's breath caught in his chest. Oh… "That's… well, goodbye then. It was nice to meet you…"

She smiled brightly at him. "I'll be back sometime."

He nodded, biting his lip. She continued smiling at him, and a moment later, a strange white light enveloped her, and when it disappeared, she was gone. Hayner exhaled his breath, wondering why he was so sad that the girl – he didn't even know her name – left.

"Dude's a lucky guy," he muttered to himself.

"That's sweet," said a soft voice by his ear, and he jumped, head swiveling. Floating in the air beside his head was a fairy… wait, no, it was that same girl… what?

"Uh…" he said intelligently, staring at her.

"I'll be back. Soon," she promised and swooped in to pressed a kiss to his cheek. It was a strange feeling – being kissed by a sprite – but not a bad one. He felt himself blush.

When he blinked, the sprite was gone, but he felt lighter. Maybe not so jealous of that guy in Destiny Islands.

Maybe he'd ask her name next time he saw her.

-end-

Sassy: I apologize for that. You may all blame… no one but me. No other ideas and I really wanna get to this other one, but – MEH! – I have to write my butt off on TWH to post that one.

Anyway, leave a review.
