Sparkling snow lights
Cold. It was cold outside. Mana could hear Tea's teeth chattering from beside her. "Tea are you alight?"
Tea turned to her. "J…just a little cold Mana. N…nothing to worry about." They had been partnered for a photography assignment along with Yami and Yugi.
They were outside at 7:00 pm taking pictures of the Game shop's Christmas lights which gramps had spent the past day putting up. Yami and Yugi had spent the day helping them. They would still be outside with them but Joey and Tristan had dragged them into a game of duel monsters which they said would only take a few minutes.
Needless to say Joey and Tristan thought they couldn't lose. When Yami and Yugi came back smiling with hot chocolate for the girls.
Yami handed Mana her drink. "Sorry it took so long. Joey was convinced they couldn't lose." He held her close and rubbed her shoulders to warm her up. Her face was turning red from the action. Yugi looked at Tea and saw she was still freezing. She was shaking. He pulled Yami aside. Meanwhile the girls drank their drinks though it did little to warm Tea up.
"Maybe we should finish up out here while the girls go inside." Yami nodded in response. Mana however didn't need to go inside and wanted to finish the project.
"Or Yugi. You could take Tea inside and we will finish the project." She had crossed her arms and had that determined look in her eyes. Both Yami and Yugi knew that there would be no arguing so Yugi took Tea inside.
Mana wrapped her arms around Yami and kissed him. Her long blonde hair danced in the cold air. The fresh snow reflecting the rainbow of colours they did eventually finish the project but Yugi and Tea had to hand it in because Yami and Mana caught a cold by the time they got inside. In Mana's mind it was totally worth it.
