"Isn't the snow pretty?" she says, her long fingers stretching out to meet the falling flakes, white and light like angels' feathers raining down from the starry heavens.

And he is shaking; every part of him is trembling with untold passion and yearning for her. His heart is pulsating so quickly it actually hurts to continue breathing and his throat feels constricted by some unnamed emotion. Yuki wonders if these are the symptoms of love, and if it is, it was certainly a very pleasurable way to die.

It is amazing how much power she wields over him just by unintentionally saying his name (he never liked it much when she calls him 'School President'; he wasn't the school president anymore and he is definitely much more than that to her anyway). He was very sure he would die for her if she so wished it... It was so long ago when he once would have done the same for another woman... only much more unwillingly.

He wants to pull her into his arms and kiss her with all the intensity he feels; he wants her to know the depth of the feelings she invokes within him. But instead, he adjusts the red wool scarf around her neck to guard her from the swirling snow before lacing their freezing fingers together, "Yes, the snow is pretty indeed."

She smiles at him (there was a mixture of happiness and gratitude in her eyes) and raises herself on tiptoes to kiss the side of his lips before whispering shyly into his ear.

"And so are you, Yuki-kun."
