Snow/ One-shot

Hello, I've been a bit of a lurker for a few months. I've always loved to write but I've never got the guts to post anything. This little thing came to me a few days ago and I felt good enough about it that I decided to take a leap and post it here. I hope you all enjoy it. I'm really nervous about this but here we go.

Summary: Things take on a completely new light when it snows.

I love snow. For someone who grew up around it, I guess that isn’t weird. But people expect me not to be impressed by it anymore. Still, I stop what I’m doing when I see those little snowflakes.

Things take on a completely new light when it snows. People’s mood changes, the air smells different and refreshing. Even a dingy street can look flawless under a fresh blanket of snow.

But I didn’t really appreciate the beauty of snow until I met him.

The way the snow clung to his brown curls, the way he looked so adorable bundled up in his coats and scarves. How his smile seemed so much brighter as we walked together in the deep drifts. His eyes, so much bluer in the winter air. He even looked beautiful as he hurled snowballs at me.

That beautiful winter day as we walked among the trees in his backyard. Just us. No friends bothering us. Just us, alone.

That beautiful evening when we shared our first kiss with only the trees to see it. His lips cold against mine but his tongue oh so warm. Newly fallen flakes clinging to his long, thick lashes and his cheeks rosy from the cold and the rush of that first big step.

Our first Christmas as a couple and our announcement to our family and friends who embraced us by the burning fireplace as snow fell silently outside.

Our first time making love a few weeks later in Finland after wandering the snow covered streets of Helsinki together. I had told him how romantic I felt when it snowed and how beautiful he looked in it. He had smiled and tugged me into a nearby park. I was pushed to the ground, him on top of me. He kissed me deeply and told me how beautiful I looked in the snow.

Nothing could get rid of my smile as I looked up at him. His curly brown hair and black beanie stark against the white clouds in the sky.

He asked me then and there, as snow melted and seeped into my clothes, to take him home and make love to him.

We hurried back to my place, holding hands, laughing, and stopping at random places to kiss, not caring who saw us. He slipped on some ice hidden by the snow on the street. He asked me if I still loved snow after that as I helped him to feet. I said yes because even his panic face as he landed on his back was adorable.

When we finally made it to my place his skin was still cold by the time I had removed his clothes.

A year later. Another Christmas. Another announcement. We were engaged and happier than ever. He surprised me by taking me to that spot where we shared our first kiss and got down on one knee in the deep white powder. With tears streaming down my face I accepted and fell to my knees, kissing him until we both fell over into the snow.

A few months later I wake up on our wedding night, alone in bed. I look over and see him bundled up in a blanket, sitting on the window seat, staring out at Helsinki just before dawn. I get up and wrap a blanket around my own naked body. I ask him what he’s doing and he tells me it’s snowing. I smile and tell him it has a tendency to do that in Finland.

I run my fingers through his hair with a smile on my face. A few quiet moments later he speaks up, his voice soft and thoughtful.

“You know, I think it snowed just for us on our wedding night. God understands just how beautiful our relationship is even if not everyone sees it or understands it. It adds more beauty to an already breathtaking night.” He stops for a moment then nods. “Yep, it did this just for us.” He leans his head back and smiles up at me.

“You are so beautiful. I love you.” I whisper and lower my head to kiss him. A tear falls from my green eyes and lands on his neck.

“Stop it, you’re too beautiful to cry.” He says. He pulls me down so I’m sitting behind him, each leg on either side of him. He cuddles down into my bare chest and together we watch the beautiful snow fall just for us. Just for me and my love.
