"Brace yourself Baka!"
"I'm quivering in my boots Odango!"
Snowballs flew across the park, shrieks and grunts coming from behind opposite trees as they met their targets. Usagi picked up a fresh snowball and aimed for the arrogant jerk opposite her, but found herself looking at an empty space. "Looking for me Odango?" she heard, before cold lumps of snow were thrust down the back of her shirt. She screamed, in fright and at the coldness on her skin.
"Why. YOU!!" Mamoru's face blanched and ran for his life, away from this burning meatball of fury. She chased him around the park, but suddenly tripped and with a loud splash, fell headfirst into the pond. Mamoru span round to see a drenched Usagi sitting in the pond, with a shocked look on her face. As he looked into her wide, scared eyes he felt a sudden surge of guilt and felt instantly protective of her.
Usagi suddenly felt a hand on her arm and as she was lifted up, felt a warm jacket being wrapped around her shoulders and inhaled a sudden smell of cinnamon and roses.. A green jacket. Mamoru pressed his body up against hers to keep her warm. "You're shivering."
Usagi put her palms flat against his chest and gave herself enough distance to look into his face. Midnight blue met cerulean, and they both inhaled quickly.
Around them, it had begun to snow again, and many civilians were coming out of buildings to watch it fall. A young man with blonde hair walked out of Crown, rubbing his hands on a dishcloth, grinning as he saw a young pair standing in the middle of the park. Oblivious to the word around them, their eyes seeing only each other.
Mamoru smiled to himself. He loved everything about this weather.
