The first snowflake drifted down from the sky, landing delicately on her cheek and instantly melting from her body heat. Startled, Kisa pressed her fingers to her cheek, as if trying to hold in the memory of the snowflake.

The memory of Hiro kissing her a quick and chaste kiss in the same spot...

She let her hand drop, her head tilted up as more snow fell down around her, touching her hair, her face, and she smiled. Each flake melted, but it didn't matter.

Winter was her favorite time of the year. Everything became crisp and clean, covered in blankets of white. She could spend more time with Sissy building snowmen or making snow angels. Maybe she could even convince Hiro to help them! Kisa giggled at the thought, imagining exactly what Hiro would say, what he would look like.

He would call her an idiot for wanting to do baby things, and then he'd accuse Sissy of putting those baby thoughts in Kisa's head, but she knew underneath of all that anger, he would be just as eager. Jealous, but eager.

She opened her mouth, sticking out her tongue to catch the snowflakes.

That was still some time off though. This was only the first snow, and it wouldn't be nearly enough to begin a winter wonderland, but that was okay. Opening her eyes again, she closed her mouth and began walking down the street, watching the snow dance in the air until it touched the ground with a gentle caress.

“Kisa!”

The girl tripped over her own feet, tugged harshly out of her reverie by the voice of the very boy who had been on her mind. “H-hiro!”

“Didn't you know it was going to snow today? You're not even wearing a proper coat. I bet you don't even have any gloves. Jeez, you can be as stupid as that girl sometimes,” he muttered, grabbing her hands and shoving a pair of gloves over her fingers.

“Thank you, Hiro...” She smiled, grabbing his hand. “You were going to go see Sissy too, weren't you? We can walk together.”

“Whatever.”
