Ethan Pov:

The snow outside was starting to get thicker and thicker.

Winter was coming and it was getting a lot colder.

The cold doesnt bother me but it does to Y/n.

She wont even go outside.

I've tried to make her go outside and walk with me but she wont budge.

"I dont wanna go outside! It's to cold!"

Even when I gave her my jacket she just turned all huffy and gave it back

"Ugh! Your so dumb!"

She huffed and walked off.

I dont get it. I told Sue and Judy about it and they just laughed at me.

I told Scarlett about it and she laughed too.

I was doing my normal routine killing zombies and walking around the perimeter.

When I noticed something about the snow. It was slightly damp.
It was perfect for a snowman.

I stopped what I was doing and started to build.
It took a few minutes to build the base.
I started on the head and all the identifying features.

I finally stuck two twigs in the sides of it and called it a day.

Me and Dad used to do that all the time.

I continued on my patrol as normal and I heard Judy comment about my snowman.

She didnt ask me if I made it so a kept my mouth shut.

I heard Y/n commenting about how she thought it was cute.

I didnt say anything but I mentally blushed.

I never really expressed those feelings to others even Y/n.
I always choked up on my words or didnt know how to Express myself.

I'd rather be useful to others smarter than me rather than useless and without cause.
I didnt always agree with the things Lawrence had me do. Most were just failures but some were useful.

I fixed a lot of things when I was younger. I liked being useful to my parents, I never wanted to be a burden.

I never was a talker. I dont even think I even cried when i was born.
I look at people who can express themselves freely not caring who heard thier opinions. They were just kind of On all the time.
I never understood those people.
Probably because they were raised differently.
My dad wasnt a talker either.

But in short i never expressed my opinions unless asked.

Y/n seemed upset by this. Not that she didnt mind that I was quiet but that I only told information when prompted.
Like how I waited until meetings to share information that I found on patrols.

I dont understand things she does.
Like how she gets all huffy when I point something out I liked about her.

Or the way she slurped her noodles.

She was probably the only person except for Lawrence that I had conversations with.

Well, two sided conversations.

We mostly ate and talked in my room.
We talked about family, pets, hobbys, food, dreams, ect.
There was never a dull moment in the conversation.

But I dont know what I'm feeling when I'm around her.

Like my stomach is twisting.
And I get all blushy.

It's odd.

I kept trying and failing at getting Y/n to go outside with me.

So when we had our next dinner together I asked.
"Why dont you go outside?"

....

"Uh-m... I dont know what it.. is?"

She doesnt know what snow is?
Well, everyone knows what snow is.

"Wait! I'm not stupid! I just never grew up around it. Until the apocalypse when I lived a sheltered life. My parents never liked snow. So I never really knew what it was."

Oh! So the sheltered kid syndrome.

The kid is influenced by parents thier whole life. Most children copy parents reactions and opinions.

So her parents must be from the south or something. Because no one doesnt like snow.

"I didnt think you were stupid I just thought it was odd that you didnt like snow. If you want I can teach you how to play in it."

She looked at me like I was an alien.

"Play in it!?"
She took a a quick slurp of her noodles
"But its cold!"

"That's what makes it fun. Just try it please!"
I almost made my voice high.

She noticed my voice change and giggled for a split second until taking a calm expression.

...

She seemed to think about it for a moment.

"Fine. If you insist!"

I nodded and finished my own noodles as she slurped hers.








The next day I finished my patrol and collected Y/n to go outside.

She was hesitant to even step in the snow but when I reminded her that she agreed to this she took a ginger step into the snow with a crunch.

Soon we were walking through the snow.

She was wearing what she normally wore which was not warm.

I walked towards a fresh untouched patch of snow.

I started to roll a peice of snow into a snowball.

She watched in awe as I did not freeze once I touched the snow.

I'm not even sure she went to public school if she hasn't touched snow.

She was brave enough to pick up a peice and follow what I was doing to make a snowball.

She soon got on her knees in the snow and pushed she snowball.

I put my snowball on top of hers and we both added a head.
I put sticks in the sides and she added a face.

She laughed an giggled with me.

We even had a small snowball fight.

We walked inside and I noticed she was shaking.

I took off my jacket and wrapped her up in it.

And I dont think she gave it back.

She did when she complained that it didnt smell like me anymore and she wanted me to wear it for a bit.

So we continue this transaction for a while until Judy giggled in the background.
