Fine's POV
"Ah, that was fun! Shade, thanks for inviting me today," I said as I finished licking my ice cream. Ice cream's good when it's hot, but when it's cold it's even better, because it doesn't melt. I feel like I've been eating too much ice cream lately but ice cream's good.
Anyways, we played basketball for a couple of hours and even through it's cold, I feel really warm. It's touching I guess, that someone would care about something like this for me.
After playing basketball, he got me ice cream as we walked around town admiring all the lights. Then we decided to stop and take and break by relaxing on a bench in Happy Park. The snow was falling and the pink sand in the foundation was glistening with the light from the nearby lamps and moonlight.
"Fine, I'm amazed that you could keep up," Shade said, slightly exhausted. We ended up in a tie, so there's no reason why we both shouldn't be a little tired.
"Well, it's been so long since I've done something like this, so it's really fun. I've always had to go easy on the girls in P.e since they couldn't kick as hard as me. By the way Shade, why is it that you want me to be all tomboy-ish again?"
"Let's see, I remember playing soccer with you once when Rein wasn't there. It was really fun and when I came here, I thought that you were going to chase me off and kill me, then we would go through you beating me everything to zero, but you didn't," he said remembering those days of fun with no complications. Wait...
"No offense, but how does this relate? And isn't it a good thing that I didn't chase you and kill you?" Even through that would have been a good way to vent out my anger about Bright. Why didn't I do that anyways? Oh right, March would have given me a demerit.
"It is, but I thought that it would be better if you were your normal, sweet crazy, athletic self. " Is he trying to pick a fight?
"I am seriously considering chasing you off and killing you now," I said cheerfully. I'm still not getting any answers, just like before. "Why do you not like my girly personality? It's how I'm suppose to act and how I'm suppose to be, it's how everyone wants me to be... Is it because I act too much like Rein or something? Because I am not obsessed with clothes and decors. " Heels maybe... but definitely shoes. Not as much, frilly dresses and huge, really weird decors.
After a few minutes of silence, he finally said," You aren't suppose to be any other way, but yourself. Even if you're Rein's twin, you can only be yourself, no matter what." I watched him as he explained. "For instance, haven't you ever noticed that two snowflakes aren't ever exactly the same, each is different,"he said trying to catch the snowflakes only to have them melt on his hand instantly. "Only one snowflake can be itself and no one else."
"I think I'm getting what your saying...a little." Well, I've heard that no two snowflakes are alike.
"Roses are the same." Okay, I lost him again. I know that no two things are exactly alike unless someone made it like that, but he went from snowflakes to roses, which makes absolutely no sense. I suddenly realized music was playing. Gentle and pure like snowflakes falling down. It's a suitable song for a night like this. It's a sound that only a music box could make.
An old woman somehow appeared in front of us. With her shawl covering her face she said, "Young couple, won't you let me tell you your fortunes?"
Then we both said at the same time slightly creep out, "Okay..." How did she manage to get in front of us without one of us noticing?
"Then please take into account this advice. Young man, if you can't keep a promise, then you shouldn't make it. Got that," she asked whacking him with her cane, several times. Geez Shade, what'd you do to her?
"I think I got that... Why did you hit me with that cane?"
She ignored his question then turned to me. I hope I don't get hit with a cane. In a slightly kinder tone she said, "Young miss, for you I can only hope that you will be able to trust with all of your heart and that you will not break the trust that you have in others. The future can change, but only if you allow it to."
"Okay, thank you... I guess." I said muttering the last part out. She soon left. That was kind of weird... but slightly helpful. Now, I know to trust people more. A small box had appeared in my lap. "I didn't really know what you would like and I didn't want to give you sweets, so I had Rein help me chose. Then of course, I had the horror of carrying all of her shopping bags."
I laughed at his expression. "That's why you should be careful when asking something of Rein."
"I know that, so why don't you open the present I got you?"
He watched me as I slowly opened the gift. A ribbon choker with a pink rose dangling from it. I stared at it speechless. I don't really wear decors as much as Rein, so I normally don't want any. But.. this is just... amazing. "As a thank you I have something for you too. Milky was too busy looking for something for Narlo, so I asked Bright about your present."
He opened the box and looked at the small purple rose pin and in the center was a small silver cross. "Roses aren't normally my style, but since it's from you I guess it's not that bad." He smiled and I smiled back. Snow soon fell onto my bare hands. I was only shaking a little and Shade suddenly held my hand. "If it's like this, then you won't feel as cold."
"Thanks." Such a warm hand...
We sat there underneath the beautiful falling snow, our hands intertwined.
Normal POV
They, like many couples were happily watching the snowfall. But none of them really know, that those who watch the snow together will certainly be very happy together. So no matter what's going to happen, in the end they will be happy. Surely...
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE
