Authors Notes: It's snowing heavily where I live, so I decided to write a little ficlet about snow!
The Doctor has seen so much snow in his lifetime it had almost lost it's charm on him. Almost, not completely - and almost was always something, and Ianto Jones knew that well. So when the two were taking a trip around London together and it decided to snow like there was no tomorrow, Ianto decided that the Doctor needed to appreciate snow more. In fact, as soon as the first few flakes had fallen from the sky, the Doctor had been desperate to get back to the TARDIS, claiming he wanted "somewhere sunny". It had taken Ianto to physically wrap his arms around the skinny man's chest to hold him back from dashing away to his precious ship. The Doctor had reluctantly agreed to stay when Ianto threatened to go back Jack, which caused a pout to appear on his face, much to Ianto's satisfaction.
"But it's just so boring!" the Doctor protested, walking reluctantly side-by-side with Ianto. The other man's expression was geniuinely shocked. "Where I come from, snow is about as common as a day without aliens!" replied Ianto with a slight smirk on his face - after all, the Doctor knew just how rare those days were! "Fine, I'll walk with you for a bit - and then we're going to Barcelona, I've been meaning to go for years now!" said the Doctor, although Ianto could detect something different in his voice.
As such, the two decided to go for a walk in the snow as it started to settle and people started getting even more excited. The Doctor's mood seemed to lighten by the time he saw how happy everyone was. Seeing a smile creep onto the Doctor's features, Ianto grinned at him, which only elated the Doctor's mood more. They'd been walking around twenty-five minutes when the snow grew heavier, coating their suit jackets in little white snowflakes. Ianto reached over for the Doctor's hand and wrapped it in his own, causing the other man to look over - and this time his smile was very geniune, his face spread into a wide grin. Ianto returned the expression, and as they continued walking, Ianto realized this was the most happiest moment he'd had in a long while.
There's something so beautifully simple about two people walking in the snow together, hand in hand, and although neither of them quite understood it, both Ianto and the Doctor now appreciated it, and the Doctor finally appreciated snow once again.
