So I'm a terrible person for being this late but I'm attending a boot camp, and since school is about to start, I have to do some other stuff :/ Anyways, I'm finishing this by tomorrow hopefully, so keep reading!

Mai inhaled deeply, relishing the cold mountain air. She grinned at Masako, who stood beside her and the black haired girl grinned right back.

"Snowball fight!" They shrieked in unison, simultaneously bending down and grabbing fistfuls of the white substance. With a cheeky nod at each other, the girls whirled and threw the snowballs at Gene and Noll who were in the midst of drinking their tea.

Noll calmly ducked as Mai's snowball flew over his head. Gene however, was slower on the uptake and Masako's snowball hit him full in the face. He stood frozen in his spot, snow in his hair and eyes, some of it falling into the paper cup he held.

The girls burst out laughing at his half bewildered, half pouting face of the Davis twin. Noll smirked and sipped his tea. For a moment Gene didn't move. Slowly a smile spread over his handsome features and he dumped his tea, rubbing his hands together.

"Masako," He sang, prowling towards said girl. "You just made a very, very bad decision."

Masako shrieked and tried to run, her boots sinking into the snow. Gene stomped after her, pelting her with snowballs as he went. One hit the girl square in the back of her head and she whipped around only to be tackled by the boy.

They couple fell backwards, Gene on top of Masako as they laughed their hearts out. Gene rolled of the girl and lay next to her, their chests rising and falling in quick succession, breath forming white wisps above them.

Mai smiled at Masako and Gene's fun. She looked over at her Davis twin who was crumpling his paper cup and adjusting his coat. Mai had to admit he looked dashing; a charcoal grey trench coat over a black polo, paired with deep blue jeans and black gloves.

Seeing her Naru in colours other than black had been surprising, but he was really rocking the look.

"What is it Mai?" Naru interrupted her train of thought. His face was emotionless, a solid mask revealing nothing of the man she loved.

This was the Naru who never said 'thank you' or 'sorry'. This was the Naru who mocked her for her slow uptake, ignored her requests and glared at her for sneezing too loud.

Who she wanted was the Naru who smiled at her, whose eyes danced when they conversed, whose favourite game was trying to kiss her in public while making sure no one noticed, who pulled her into his lap at night and watched movies with. Who she wanted was her romantic Naru.

But then again, romance wasn't his strongest point.

"Oh nothing," she said with fake brightness before looking back at Gene and Masako who had proceeded to make snow angels. They were acting so couple-y that Mai felt the flowers of moe accumulating around her. "Those two are so romantic."

Noll snorted. "Gene's always been a hopeless romantic."

"Maybe you could take a couple of lessons from him and use them every once in a while." She murmured, saying what was on her mind out loud without realizing it.

She was so caught up in her daydreaming that she didn't notice Noll creep up behind her and bend down.

"Mai," he called out and the girl whipped around, only to get a handful of snow in her face. She shrieked and stumbled back, tripping over her feet. Noll grabbed her arm before she fell and pulled her flush against his frame.

Mai looked up at him, half angry when she saw the amused look on his face. Without warning, he brought his hand up above her head and showered her with more cold snow. The brunette yelped and pulled away from him, grabbing some snow for herself. This time her shot found its mark on Noll's chest.

Not being one to back down, Noll crouched and began to flip snow her way and Mai laughed as the substance sprinkled on her. She kicked up more snow, sending it towards Noll's face. The blue eyed boy looked surprised as a whole lot landed on top of him, and fell back, landing on his butt.

Mai couldn't help but laugh at Noll's expression. It was so rare that he let anything show and she'd found to cherish every moment she could.

"I win." She quipped cheekily as she offered him a hand. Noll took it and yanked her down, turning her so when she sat down, his chest was against her back.

Pinning her with one arm, he grabbed more snow and proceeded to rub it into her face and hair. The girl laughed and squealed and wriggled in his grip, to no avail.

"Okay fine! You win. I lose." She laughed.

Noll dropped his snow and wrapped both arms around Mai's thin frame, nuzzling her neck. To her utmost surprise, he chuckled deeply, the sound reverberating in his chest.

Finally, here was the Naru she wanted to see for the rest of their vacation. She fisted Naru's hair and pulled his face to hers, kissing first his cheek, nose, and then his lips. Much to her delight, he returned her kiss, the corners of his lips tugging up.

When they finally broke apart (Gene cleared his throat rather loudly) Mai smiled shyly at him.

"You were lucky this time. I won't lose again."

Noll raised an eyebrow. "Wanna bet?"

"Wanna go a second round?"

"Sure." He replied, eyes dancing with humor. "But only if I get a kiss when I win."

"Don't be so sure you will Hot Shot."

R&R plz!
