I thought of this idea while talking to dreams, and decided we're going to do an Advent Calendar event! [So that we have a good motivator to push us to write.] So from now till January 1, we're going to all try to do as many little prizes for each other as possible.

"It's not my fault!" Yao started, needing to repeat it because of the harsh wind blowing around their ears. "Well, not entirely my fault," he amended, when Kiku did not so much as turn. And then he crossed his arms and deepened his pout, as Kiku turned to face him, an entirely placid expression on his face. Despite the attention that he was now ( ... )

A beat - a heartbeat; a dead-beat - and Yao whips his head around, shaking off a couple snowflakes, even as he can feel the wind hissing at his ears, numbing his nose (and he has the distinct, but background, feeling that his chest is thudding even louder than the whorls of winds around them).
