Theme: Sledding
He was in no way participating in this asinine activity, and no amounting of pouting on certain magician's part was going to change his mind. Though he could hear Fai whispering behind him, he staunchly ignored it. He was successful until the red metal rim of the toboggan slammed into the back of his knees. The collision knocked him off balance, and he sat down hard.
"Quick!" Fai called over his shoulder. "Push!"
If he was going to be forced to participate, he was in no way participating alone. The wide sleeves of Fai's jacket were at least good for something – he grabbed and yanked hard, causing Fai to sprawl across his lap just before the others shoved them down the hill.
The toboggan ran straight for several feet before encountering a hummock of snow. It tilted up on one runner before spilling them out. They bounced, tumbling one over the other until coming to rest at the base of the hill.
A couple of the teenagers who were also using the sledding hill started giggling before they could sort themselves out. Kurogane realized after a second that not only was Fai straddling him, but he was also completely unconscious. For a heart-stopping moment, he worried Fai was seriously injured, but a fast spreading bruise on Fai's temple that was the same general size as Kurogane's elbow provided a reasonable explanation.
Even though Kurogane shoved Fai off him rather roughly, he still gathered him gently into his arms and carried him back up the slope.
OOOOOOO
