You shivered as a cold and strong breeze blew in your face. You cuddled yourself, looking up the dark sky. Sheez, Canada sucks! You thought. There's nothing here, and its freezing! You looked down at the ground, where you had you feet wrapped up in two pairs of socks and fuzzy boots.
"I want to go home." You say to yourself. "Or at least have someone to keep me company."
You hear a small voice speak up from behind you. "I can keep you company." It whispered. You turned quickly to see a man, with medium length blonde hair, blue eyes, and glasses. He held a small polar bear in his arms.
"Go ahead, stranger, but for the record, we might get frostbite out here." You answer, patting the spot next to you.
He nods and walks over to your side. He sits down and smiles, holding out a hand. "I'm Matthew, and this is Kumajiro." You smile and shake his hand.
"Nice to meet you, and Kumajiro too." You say, patting the bear's head. "I'm ______."
"Nice to meet you. I know a lot of people, they just don't seem to remember me, or notice I'm even there." Matthew squeaked in a hushed voice. You nod.
"I'm sorry about that. I've never really had alot of friends. I was like the invisible ghost in school; the one that no one knew if they were there, much less cared. You and I already have something in common, Matthew. Interesting, huh?" You answer, playing with the snow. He nods and smiles. He put Kumajiro down and smiles, looking up at the sky.
"You know," He stated. "We're in one of the more Northern parts of this country. In a few minutes we should see the Aurora Lights. They're a really interesting sight to see."
You turn to look at him. "Really? I've seen pictures of them, but I've never seen them in person; even though I've always wanted to." You smile.
"The pictures are nothing like the real thing. You will be amazed at the difference." He whispered. "Isn't that right, Kumajiro?"
"Who are you?" Kumajiro squeaked. You jumped back, surprised. "What's wrong, ______?" He asked.
"That thing can talk?!" You screeched, looking at Matthew.
"Yes." Mattew replied bluntly.
Kumajiro crawled over to you and put his front paws on your leg. "I'm sorry I scared you. I'm only used to him, whoever he is, noticing me." You quiver for a moment, then pet his head.
"That's alright." You whisper, smiling. You look back at Matthew. "Isn't he your pet? How come he doesn't know who you are?"
"No one does, except you; and you will probably forget who I am by tomorrow." He sighed, smiling. He blushed a little as you gave him a sympothetic hug.
"I'm sorry!" You squeak, truthfully feeling sorry for him. He smiles and points to the sky when you pull yoursel off of his body.
"Look! The Aurora Lights are showing." He spoke. You shot your head, looking up at the sky.
"It's beautiful!" You queak, unable to find any better words. You lay back into the snow and continue to look up at the sky. Matthew lays down as well, right next to you. After about an hour of staring in silence, you finally say something.
"They're so amazing! They're... breathtaking! Thats a good word to use... breathtaking." You whisper, smiling.
"Just like you are." Matthew squeezed out the words with a hush. You blushed, and smiled.
"T-Thanks." You stammer. You feel his hand reach for yours, and you place it inside the grasp of his hand.
He gasps, unaware about what you had done. You caught him by surprise, but he siled and looked back up at the stars and the lights. You scooched over closer to him, quietly as possible.
"What are you doing?" He asked nervously.
"Nothing..." You answered, arriving right next to him. You grab his arm and wrap it around you. He blushes like mad as you wrap your arms around him. He smiles and grabs your hand.
"I don't know what you're doing, _____, but I kind of like it...." he whispered kindly. You looked up at him and smiled.
"I'm glad I have you to talk to." You say. "I like that someone sees me, and likes my personality... You do like my personalitty, don't you? Because, if you don't, then I feel really stupid." You ask, just to make sure.
He chuckled lightly and kissed the top of your forhead. "No. I love you for your personality. i know its only been a few hours, but, I feel like I've known you since forever. Its amazing. Its... What was that word you used earlier? I think it was breathtaking? Yes... This is breathtaking."
You snuggled him close and smiled. "It certainly is." You reply kindly. You close your eyes and take a deep breath. You smile and fall asleep.
Right there,
Right then,
In his arms,
Just like you always wanted to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you awake, Matthew was still there, sleeping like a baby. Kumajiro was sprawled out on the ground out a little farther in the sea of snow. You blinked a few times and looked around. You sat up, seeing nothing but a desert of endless snow.
You search frantically for something other than snow. You begin to worry that you will never find your way to a town, so you could get back home. Then again, maybe you didn't want to go home. Maybe you wanted to stay there with Matthew. It was still a ridiculous thought, especially since you would still have to find a town.
You looked over at him, in a deep slumber. You shook him lightly, trying to wake him up.
"Matthew!" you whispered. "Matthew wake up!"
He opened one eye and winced at the sun. "What is it?" He asked calmly, stretching.
"Do you know how to get back to town?" You ask.
He nods and smiles. "Don't worry, my brother may think he's the hero, but I can do some things." He joked, sitting up. You stood, taking his hand.
"I want to go home." You say, looking down at him. "Well, I want to get to town. I don't want to go home; just to civilization."
He smiles, standing up and hugging you. "I'll take you wherever you want to go." He whispers, kissing you cheek. You smile and take his hand. "Let's go." You nod and follow him back to town.
And You never left.
