You set down your bag in the small room you had in the ski lodge. Between the 8 of you, you had 4 rooms. 

Tommy was with Tubbo, Wilbur with Niki, and then the 3 other boys stayed in a room together so you didn't feel uncomfortable. (we love respectful kings) That day, everyone was going to put their stuff in their rooms, then get ready to go skiing down the mountain nearby.

As soon as you put on your thick snow pants and coat, you went outside. It was way too hot inside with all of those layers on. You met up with Wilbur and Niki who were renting the ski's and you helped take them to the ski lift.

The others met you there and everyone talked about which hills they were going down. You decided to go on the smaller one with Tubbo and Niki. The others were going on the larger trail. You kind of wished Tommy had gone with you, but you figured he probably just wanted to prove he was a "big man" to the others.

You could just hang out with Niki and Toby instead, they were great but you hadn't had a lot of 1 on 1 time with them since the start of the trip. So this would be a nice change.

The 3 of you hopped off the ski lift when you go to your destination, and watched as the others continued to go higher up. 

"uhghg guys..." Toby said with a worried expression on his face as he started sliding down the small incline. "i've never skied beforee"

You chuckled and slid perfectly in front of him, helping to get him back to a level surface. You had been skiing many times before with your family, so you were fairly comfortable with it. You just didn't like heights too much. In fact, they made you freeze up big time.

"so guys, are you ready to start?" Niki said, grinning from ear to ear. 

"hell yeah, lets do this thing!" you shouted, and started gliding down the hill with Niki not too far behind.

" guys wait for meeee" you heard Tubbo say as you were getting further away. You looked back to see him going slowly down the hill. you chuckled as you gained speed.

It felt like nothing else. The wind whipped at your face, causing your cheeks and nose to become red, but it was an amazing feeling. You really felt free and happy. It reminded you of all those times your family was teaching you how, and the first time you actually did it on your own.

Man those were the days. since your dad left, you hadn't gone been skiing. It reminded mom too much of when he was still around. Honestly you felt pure joy when you went down the slopes. 

You could hear Niki laugh as she fell into a pile of snow on the side of the hill, she must have misjudged how close she was.

you laughed as you saw Tubbo do the same thing. While turned around you slowed down a bit, but not so much that you stopped. you just didn't want to run into anything.

You could hear the other two yelling at you so you yelled, "what?" only to be cut off by you running directly into something, and face planting into the snow.

Falling was something you did often, but this time hurt more, and you realized you had run into another person.

"Oh my God are you okay?!" The boy asked running over to you, "I am so sorry, I should have looked where i was going, I didn't see you coming down the slope."

"i- um, yeah it was totally my fault! are you hurt or anything?" you asked feeling bad for running into him. Turning to face him, he helped you up and studied your face.

"you're asking if i'm okay? you are the one with the black eye!" He said looking genuinely concerned. He was moderately attractive with dirty blond hair and dark blue eyes, not to mention he was almost a foot taller than you.

You touched your hand to your face and quickly pulled back because it hurt. Toby and niki had now caught up with you and were asking if you were okay, and if they needed to go back with you.

"guys don't worry i'm fine, I'm just going to go back now! Please stay here, and keep having fun. I'll just be in my room if you need me." You said and they reluctantly agreed.

The boy looked you up and down and said that he was going to come with you to help get ice for your black eye. You felt bad making him leave the slopes, but he insisted on it so you agreed.

When you got back you changed into a sweatshirt and sweats, and then sat on your bed. You invited him in, and he now sat next to you.

" hey, i'm sorry again about before! I was just caught up in the moment." you said, not wanting to make eye contact with the attractive boy sitting next to you.

"Like i said, I don't mind at all, I just feel bad that you got hurt." he said with his eyes locked on your face.

You sighed, "so I guess if you are hanging here for a while we should get to know each other, my name is y/n and I'm 16." 

"that's a pretty name! As for me, my name is Carson and I am 17." he said as a light pink tint settled on your cheeks. He was only a year older than you.

He then got up and told you he was going to go get something. When he left you thought of Tommy, you were worried about what he was going to say when he saw your eye. And the boy in your room. Lately he had been pretty protective of you, and you weren't really sure why.

Carson came back a few minutes later with a mug of hot chocolate and an ice pack. He gave you the mug and put the ice on your face.

"Where did you get this?" You asked.

"Oh, my parents own this place so I know where everything is. That's why I don't mind staying here with you for a bit." He said lightheartedly.

You nodded and then took a sip, it was literally the best hot chocolate you had ever had in your entire life.

"HOLY! how did you make this??" You asked taking a long drink.

"Here I can send you the recipe, what's your phone number?" He said pulling out his phone.

You told him and soon a notification popped up on your phone with the recipe. You grabbed it and saw you had 5 missed calls from Tommy.

"Oh hold on, I gotta call my friend back" you said and he nodded. He was still holding the ice pack to your face.

You rang tommy and he answered on the first ring.

"Y/N! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? Toby told me what happened!" He said, obviously worried for your well-being.

"Yeah yeah I'm fine tommy. It was just an accident and the guy I ran into got me some ice and is hanging out with me for a little while." You said, glancing up at the light haired boy. He smiled back at you.

"Wait there is a boy in your room...oh nevermind, but are you sure you are okay. I can come back if you need me." He said bringing a smile to your face. When he was being soft like this it made you happy.

"I'm sure Tom Tom, now get back to having a good time!" You giggled.

"Okay okay, but don't call me Tom Tom" he said, then you heard Blitz by Technoblade start blasting in the background. You laughed and then he hung up.

Looking back up at Carson he had curiosity all over his face.

"Sooo, who was that?"
