bridge-verse winter wonderland;
[Class has finished, and Lloyd's carrying his bag, as usual. Zelos is pretty distracted though, hands deep in his pockets and shoulders hunched. It's way too damn cold, and in his years at the school this is the first time he's seen the snows. Usually because it wouldn't catch him off guard like this, and he'd have taken a vacation to avoid it all by now.
Instead, the unexpected cold snap hadn't left him with enough time to get away. Forecasts seemed to suggest it would clear up within a few days, and the weekend was ahead - there didn't seem much point in leaving now. Just get through a day of classes and then it would be two days of warm blankets, hot drinks, and hoping.
They'd be back at the room soon, and he'd send Lloyd away. Well... yeah, he would. Lloyd was probably the type who'd love this sort of thing, no need to keep him from it.
Resigned and lost in thought, he's not paying much attention to the path. Or rather, the ice. He's just not used to this kind of weather, after all, and he slips so suddenly there's really no time to react, and especially with his hands pocketed as they are. So, with a startled yelp, Zelos falls with a hefty thump right on his back. He can feel the snow soaking through his jacket right away, and it hurts, and it's really just the final straw.]
Awww, dammit!!
