It was freezing. 

You held Natsuki's tiny hand in yours as you walked down the street, the crunching of snow and her soft, delicate breathing were the only audible sounds 

"B-Boy, I would k-kill for some hot cocoa right now.." You manage to say amidst your constant shivering. 

Natsuki says nothing as she moves in closer to you, warming up using your body heat. You look down at her, smiling at her cute gesture. 

"You're getting quite close there, hehe.." You say, pinching her cheek playfully. 

She blushes a bit, stepping back, by now you've stopped walking. "I-I was just getting warm, t-that's all.. Sheesh." You continue walking but you're not done teasing her yet! "What, you want me to carry you home?" Natsuki looks at you, her bottom left eyelid twitches slightly in annoyance, before she looks down at the ground. 

"I never said anything like that, hmph.." She pouts, blushing harder.

You decide to mess with her a little, picking her up, supporting her legs and her back. 

Natsuki squeals quietly, abruptly stopping, strangely.  

"This.. Is actually kind of nice.." 

You stare agape. Somehow, you managed to break through her tsundre attitude. As you ponder how you accomplished this, Natsuki's annoyed voice snaps you back to reality. 

"Well? You just gonna stand here in the snow, dummy?" 

You laughed and slowly walked with her in your arms. It was a strange sight, but it was pretty late and the street was deserted, meaning it was just you and Natsuki.

You had known Natsuki for a year and a half now, but you were "just friends" as far as anyone was concerned. You had rarely seen her drop her tsundre behaviour and you used to think she was putting it on to appear assertive, but now you were sure it was her personality and goddamn, you found it cute. 

You remembered her being cute a lot, moments where she would fall asleep on your arm in the Literature Club and you'd have to pinch her cheek to wake her up, ironic as she claimed to not be cute most of the time. Speaking of which... 

"Zzz... Zzz..." She'd fallen asleep in your arms, quite an achievement in this weather. Her soft pink hair flowed about in the night breeze as you arrived at her house, pinching her cheek as she awoke gently, she yawns and smiles at you as you carefully set her down. "Where.. Am I?" she looks around as realization hits her. "Oh.. Home..." You see the sparkle in her eyes die out immediately as she turns to you "D-Don't ever do that again." she grumbles, her cold tone returns,  left eye twitching again. You still found it kind of cute how her eye twitched like that, you didn't know if there was anything wrong with her eye which caused it but as far as you knew it was just a cute tic.

She walks down the path to her house before stopping at the front door, sighing and turning around, prompting you to ask her what's wrong. 

"I.. I just.." a single tear streams down her cheek. "I'm sorry.." 

You're perplexed by this and dash towards her, putting your hands on her shoulders and looking into her eyes with concern. She may of been cold to you, but you still cared for her wellbeing.

"I'm sorry for how I.. Acted towards you, [first name]. The truth is..." She pauses to wipe a singular tear off her cheek. "I like you. I like you a lot. The only reason I've been a total tsundre to you is to hide these feelings... I was scared you wouldn't feel the same way, and if you found out I liked you and you didn't like me back..." a cold chill works its way up her spine. "I don't know what I would do, but it wouldn't be good. I-I'm braver now.. Though..." She looks up at you, her adorable pink eyes stared into yours, asking for help. However, you were speechless. You just stared at her like some loser..

"I knew it.." She forces a weak smile onto her face and turns to leave. 

Something in your mind screeches at you to do something, ANYTHING! 

You grab her, pulling her into a tight embrace, and kissing her on the lips, her face turns a bright shade of red, and her eyes instantly display compassion... 

You pull away after what feels like an hour, and, as snow falls around you in the silent streets you look her in the eyes... and tell her with one hundred percent honesty... 

"I love you."
