Chapter 25

(December 25)
When we gathered at the cafeteria today, we had a nice breakfast. Afterwards, Yuuma said that we could have a free day and do whatever we liked since it was a holiday. I looked at the snow that had built up outside and only had one thing in mind. I grabbed Matsu's hand and pulled him out into the cold.

"I want to show you how much fun the snow can be!" I say.

"O-Okay...!" Matsu said with wide eyes.

The others followed us out and we all made snowmen. We found rocks for the eyes and buttons, and sticks for the mouth, nose, and arms. Kentaro even used sticks as hair for his snowman and it looked so funny that I couldn't help bursting out in laughter.

Then a snowball fight broke out. Kentaro had mischievously thrown one at Hisashi without his knowledge. When he was hit, he turned around and smiled, but his smile almost looked irritated. I instinctively felt that I should keep my distance from him. Kentaro didn't seem fazed though. He even threw another one at him. Hisashi then fought back with his own snowballs.

I directed the cuties (Gin, Matsu, and Nikushimi) away from the fiery battle. But then Gin wanted to pick a fight and threw a snowball at me. I had to fight back. At some point, I tackled Gin down into the snow and he started laughing. Seeing his laughing face below me, the white snow sticking to his white hair and making it stick to his forehead, I wanted to do more than just stare at him. A snowball hit me before I could go too far. I looked up and Kentaro had his hand on his mouth. I jumped up and threw one back at him.

Our snowball fight continued until we were worn out. I realized that Matsu and Nikushimi were making another snowman the whole time, staying out of the fray. It looked bigger than the ones from before. They worked well together. I'm glad Matsu is enjoying the snow instead of letting the bad memories of it affect him.

We all had to take hot showers to warm our cold bodies. Gin asked me to wash his back and I had to hold myself back as I did so. Is he trying to tempt me?? I just might accidentally attack him. Kentaro pulled me back just as I wanted to wrap my arms around him and never let go. He keeps saving me... Although maybe the first time was an accident. 

Once our showers are finished, we have a warm lunch with hot chocolate. This day has been great so far. I feel a little tired now that I'm warm and fed. I close my eyes and lay my head on Matsu's shoulder. He stiffens up like he doesn't know what to do.

"We should spend the rest of the time playing some games~" I hear Hisashi say.

"No way!!" Kentaro yells. "I'm tired of playing games with you!!"

"What~? But hasn't it been a while since we've played~?"

"I never want to play with you again!!"

"Now that Nikushimi is here," Gin adds, "we should all play games together again."

"Only if the games aren't super boring," Nikushimi says.

"I-It's never boring with t-this group...!" Matsu says.

"We all want to, except for you, Kentaro~" Hisashi says.

"Akiara hasn't answered yet!!" Kentaro quickly says.

I suddenly feel everyone's eyes on me. I slowly peek my eyes open. Kentaro looks desperate. Hisashi is smiling confidently like he's already won. Well, even if I said I didn't want to, it would be four against two... We'd play anyway. I don't mind playing in the first place though. Sorry, Kentaro.

I lift my head from Matsu's shoulder. "I don't mind playing."

Kentaro hangs his head in defeat.

"I'll go easy on you~" Hisashi winks.
