Winter's eyes fluttered open, having just woken up from a strange dream which included Summer sitting on him on his bed in his room. It was quite disturbing.

Soft snoring reached his ears and he glanced down, only to see that very girl sleeping with her head on his lap, her hand clasped in his.

He smiled, lacing his fingers through her beautiful silky soft hair, the color of amber. She stirred slightly, and a rare smile graced her lips. Her grip on his hand tightened, interlacing her fingers with his.

Winter caressed her cheek with the back of his finger, feeling the soft tenderness of her skin. He blushed, wondering why he was doing this.

You boxed up your heart, wrapped it in a ribbon and gave it to her. That's what happened.

Winter pushed that tiny voice away. I did no such thing... He told himself firmly, shaking his head.

And yet here you are, swooning over her beauty and showering her with affection and love, something which you were not allowed to give.

Winter froze at the thought. Am I...?

Yes you are.

Winter's eyes widened. Was he going mad or was there a voice in his head? He had never realised that the voice speaking to him was a woman's voice.

Who are you?

No reply came. Silence filled his mind, cold and unusually threatening. He shivered slightly.

"Winter...?" A soft, bleary voice murmured, and Winter glanced down, only to see Summer with her eyes open and blinking at him.

"Shh..." he whispered soothingly, pressing a finger to her lips gently. The girl flushed in embarrassment. "It's alright... You can go back to sleep if you want to." he said.

Summer nodded, and Winter removed his finger slowly, trailing it over her lips. She blushed harder, her cheeks tinted rose pink, and she looked away awkwardly.

Winter let out a soft chuckle at how easily embarrassed Summer was.

You are one seductive bad boy.

He flinched at the female voice's remark, and Summer narrrowed her eyes at him in confusion. "Is there a problem Winter?" She asked gently.

Winter shook his head urgently, his sweat dropping. He laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. "No... Nothing's wrong... I-"

'I was just thinking of seducing you and lying you on my bed.' Was that what you were going to say?

Winter froze, his face heating up at the thought of having Summer on his bed. Summer stared at him with a weird look on her face.

"You what?" She asked. Winter kept quiet for a few seconds, then his face broke into a strained smile.

"I was just thinking of last night..." he lied. Shut up, whoever you are that's lurking in my head somewhere, he added, scowling inwardly. There was no reply.

"Last night...?" Summer echoed. She paused, her face blank. Then another blush appeared and she bit her lip, touching her cheek with her hand.

She must be thinking about the moment when I kissed her on the cheek I think... Winter thought.
