Nikki Topher 1999 (4*TOWN)

A Holly Jolly Snow Day 3

Seeing Z change his strategy, T's grin widened. Nikki, noticing Z's change in tactic, glanced back, a mix of curiosity and surprise on her face. Z took advantage of Nikki's momentary distraction, deftly closing the distance between them. With a swift movement, he grabbed Nikki around the waist, lifting her playfully off the ground and into his arms.

T clapped his hands, laughing as he saw Z successfully catching Nikki. "Hahahahaha! You got her!" T exclaimed, a playful grin on his face.

Nikki, now in Z's arms, looked at T, a mixture of laughter and a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Z, his playful smile evident, lifted Nikki up and turned her upside down, dangling her playfully in the air.

T chuckled, loving every moment of their playful interactions. Seeing Nikki dangling upside down. T suggested, "Z, spin her! Hahahaha. Spin her around!" T said, with a mischievous grin.

Z, realizing T's suggestion, decided to comply. With a mischievous grin of his own, he began spinning Nikki playfully, twirling her around and around, her laughter echoing through the snow-filled backyard.

T's laughter rang out, filling the winter air as he watched Nikki being spun around by Z. The sight of Nikki's joy mixed with Z's playful smile brought a wave of warmth to T's heart, creating a memory that would be etched in his mind forever.

After a few more spins, Z gently set Nikki back down on the ground, chuckling playfully as he caught his breath. Nikki, still giggling from the spinning, tried to steady herself, a mixture of exhilaration and delight on her face.

"Hehe, looks like you made her dizzy, Z," T said, laughter in his voice. He moved closer to Nikki, ready to steady her if needed.

Nikki, still a little dizzy, giggled and held onto T's arm for support. After a moment, she regained her balance and released T's arm, her wide-eyed gaze full of exhilaration and giggles. Z couldn't help but smile at the sight of Nikki's childlike joy.

"Alright, alright, enough spinning for now, Z." T laughed, playfully poking Z's shoulder.

Z rolled his eyes, but a small smile still played on his lips. Nikki, now steadier on her feet, took a step back and playfully stuck her tongue out at Z.

T observed the playful exchange between Z and Nikki, his own smile growing wider. He felt a sense of contentment, grateful for these lighthearted moments that brought joy and laughter to their lives.

"You know guys, I think we've had enough snowball fights for now. Why don't we go inside and make some hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie together?" T suggested.

"I like that idea," Z said, his stoic expression coming back.

"Sounds perfect, I feel like watching Home Alone," T said.

Nikki jumped up and down and headed toward the house first. T and Z chuckled at the sight of Nik's excitement.

After making some hot chocolate for everyone, they all settled down on the couch in the living room, Nikki snuggled between T and Z, enjoying the warmth of the drink and companionship. T grabbed the remote and played Home Alone. As the film played, T smiled to himself, feeling grateful for this moment. Z seemed calmer than usual with Nikki by his side, and Nikki herself, with a wide smile on her face as she relaxed in between them.

The trio continued watching the film together, occasionally sharing a laugh or a comment about the characters, enjoying the Christmas atmosphere. It was moments like these that created a sense of warmth and belonging, even in the chill of winter. T glanced at Z, seeing the genuine smile on his face. T's heart skipped a beat, feeling a mix of happiness and something deeper. He quickly tore his gaze away, focusing on the movie again.

As the movie reached its climax, Nikki's eyelids began to grow heavy, and she snuggled closer to T and Z, seeking their comforting warmth. T brushed his hand through her hair gently, and Z placed a tender arm around her. The trio settled deeper into the couch, the sound of Nikki's soft breathing filling the room.

As the credits of the movie began to roll, Nikki drifted off to sleep, her head resting comfortably against T and Z's shoulders. T's gaze moved from Nikki's peaceful face to Z's stoic yet content expression. A smile tugged at the corners of T's lips as they remained seated on the couch, not wanting to disturb Nikki's tranquil slumber.

T felt a sense of contentment wash over him as he admired the peaceful scene. He gently pulled a blanket over Nikki, making sure she was tucked in comfortably. Z's gaze met T's for a brief moment, a shared understanding passing between them. The two boys remained silent, cherishing this moment of intimacy and the joy of caring for Nikki.

After some time, Z asked, "Should we wake her up?"

"I think we should let her rest for a while." T answered.

"She's really sleeping peacefully, isn't she?"

T nodded, gazing at his sleeping sister. "She looks so peaceful when she sleeps." he said softly, rubbing her head.

Z smiled. "I hope she's having sweet dreams."

"Me too, buddy. Me too."
