(1st in the gift ficlet series for my flist)
I always liked the snow. Ever since I was alone on the streets, I remember how pretty it looked on the ground. So cold to the touch and yet to see the beauty it created made me feel so warm. It was a shock when it melted in my tiny hands as I tried to pick it up. The chilled water would dribble down my fingers and slosh my old ragged boots.
Heero claims that I still try to relive it as long ago as it has been now.
He could be right.
I still try to will it to snow this time of year. There hasn't been any yet and the greens and browns make me think of the end of winter instead of the beginning of it.
I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. The weather man did say it was going to be warmer out for the next few days. Still... I wish it would just come down.
The clouds look so heavy that they could burst at any moment. Heero's been peeking at me through the window for the last half hour.
He probably thinks I'm losing my mind, but I just can't help it. I like the snow. I like the feeling it gives me and even more importantly. It's one of the many things I've shared with Heero through all the times we've been together. It was something I wanted to share with him and when I did, it made him smile.
The smile he has only for me and I'm the only one who gets to see it. That's what I cherish. That's why I share my past with him. Just knowing he accepts me and all my baggage has been like a great burden being lifted from my shoulders. But now I am still waiting here for the first snow.
I can see Heero coming out of the house. I know he wants to take me back inside with him, but I don't want to go yet. The need to stay out here is too strong.
And yet, somehow Heero realizes this. He gently takes me into his arms and holds me tight, just gazing up at the sky with me as we stand in the yard. He doesn't say anything. He knows why I'm out here and as we wait together until the sun sets beyond the horizon. I see the first flake of the season coming down to gently land on my nose.
"Looks like winter has finally come at last," Heero whispers into my ear and gives me a soft kiss against my temple.
"Seems that way." I whisper back and feel the tiny snowflake melt against my warm skin.
I want to save it but I know I can't. It's too late. But that tiny dot of white makes me happier than I had been a moment before and with Heero's gentle guidance, he leads me back inside the house. The first snow is coming down and there is no one else I'd rather share it with than Heero.
