Akaza smiled to himself as he walked down the snowy path, holding his hands to his mouth and blowing on them. He felt alive in the cold, always. Not that he necessarily appreciated it, but it was nice.

He turned, finding himself on an empty street that seemed to stretch out for miles. He sighed and turned away from it. He wasn't here just to take a stroll around anyways. 

He continued walking until he found a tree. He climbed up and sat down comfortably, leaning his head against the branches and closed his eyes. He fell asleep then and only awoke when a hand was placed on his shoulder.

He jolted, brushing off the cold touch and blinking wearily. "Mm..?" he mumbled, looking up.

Douma stood there, giving him a tentative smile. "Akaza-dono? Are you tired?" he asked.

"No, no, I just fell asleep because.. I was bored," Akaza said dismissively. 

"Sure, well," Douma said, "Are you ready?"

Akaza nodded and stood. He took the outstretched hand and the two demons jumped off the tree, landing carefully on the ground. "Where to?"

"A pond, it's frozen and perfect for ice-skating. I wanted to just go there with you because it's really pretty," Douma said, smiling.

"Alright then," the striped demon said contently.

The two smiled at each other before heading off to the direction of the pond. They stood by the water for a little, silent. And then Douma said, "Akaza-dono? Are we going to go in?"

(Watch me go back to my habit of accidentally switching tenses half way through (I fixed it) 😭)

Akaza nodded and stepped forward, testing the ice. "It's really thick, huh?"

"Yes, it's been extremely cold recently," Douma commented. 

"Mhm."

Douma retrieved the ice-skates he'd brought and gave one pair to Akaza. They put them on, tying the laces tightly before they went onto the ice. Akaza went a little more hesitently, not being used to this.

Douma found this amusing and helped Akaza steady himself on the ice until he felt that he could stay on. They skated for a little until Douma insisted that they tried to figure skate—which Akaza replied to incredulously, "I just learned how to skate yesterday you idiot!"

But the blond wouldn't stop persisting with his pleas and eventually Akaza gave in, letting the Uppermoon spin him around however much he wanted. Half way through whatever Douma was attempting, Akaza slipped and he scrambled to regain his balance. Douma caught him, pulling him close and kissing him softly.

"Happy anniversary, Akaza-dono," he said, nuzzling him. 

Akaza smiled contently. "Yes, happy anniversary." 

"Akaza?"

"Hm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, dumbass," Akaza said, a laugh lacing through his words.

Douma's eyes brightened at this and said, his eyes seeming to see the past, "When you first said that to me you were so flustered," he recalled. "Remember?"

"Ugh, don't remind me.." Akaza huffed, "that was so embarrassing."

"But you looked so cutee!! You were blushing so much and your face was hidden in your hands—it was adorable," Douma insisted.
