Our Beloved Family (Book 2)

Part 12: Beautiful Snowflakes Falling...

Menma POV:

''You don't want to see Memory for a while?'' Mitsuki asks and drinks a bit of the water.

I do too.

''Even though it hurts to even think about it, I am sure I need a little break..'' I say.

Mitsuki nods.

''She hasn't done anything to you, right?'' Mitsuki asks.

I shake my head slowly.

''N-No, she hasn't done anything.'' I say.

Mitsuki nods and smiles.

''Well, I support you whatever you do.'' He says.

I smile.

''Thank you, Mitsuki, I don't know what I would've done without you.'' I say.

''Love you too, Menmy, now it's late and your mama is probably worried.'' Mitsuki says and looks at the time.

I nod.

''Yeah, I should get going before mama calls Konoha Police to look for me.'' I say laughing, Mitsuki laughs too.

''Let me walk you to the door.'' He says and takes my hand in his and walks me to the door.

I put on my ninja sandels and cloak.

''I love you, Menmy.'' Mitsuki says and kisses my whiskered cheek and my lips.

I giggle and feel a blush creep onto my face.

''I love you too, pretty chip.''

He chuckles.

''pretty chip?'' He asks.

I chuckle as well.

''Yeah, I felt like it was my turn to come up with a nickname.'' I say and smirk.

''Why 'pretty chip'?'' He asks.

I wrap my arms around his waist and lean in close to whisper.

''Because you are the most beautiful boy I have ever laid eyes on.'' I whisper and then I plant a kiss on his cheek.

He smiles.

I see that his cheeks and his nose has a hint of light pink. I smirk.

''You're cute when you blush, I should make you blush even more.'' I say.

He smiles and kisses me on the lips.

That was enough to make my face go crimson.

He chuckles when he breaks apart from the kiss.

''I don't think I wanna compete with the king of blushing, which is you.'' he chuckles.

I pout.

''Yeah yeah, I need to go now!'' I say and kiss him on the cheek before going to the door and opening it.

It's still snowing.

I think tomorrow will all the streets be covered.

(FLASHBACK)

''Winter is my absolute favourite season out of all the 4. The snow that decorates the trees and streets. I just love it, you know?''

(FLASHBACK END)

''I should get going.'' I say.

Mitsuki nods and waves at me before I walk outside and close the door.

It was freezing outside.

Even the cloak mama gave me doesn't hold back the cold.

Mama said that he used this cloak when he was a teenager and dad was gone from the village.
