Yata's Childhood Friend

Six

I woke up with Yata's arms around me then I looked to see the fire little more than embers now but everyone was still sleeping, most of them cuddled together, though Anna was with Kusanagi. I groaned as I sat up, grabbing an extra blanket to wrap around me since the house had gotten colder. I went to the windows then smiled as I saw the snow falling to the ground, creating a winter wonderland.

"Is that snow?" I turned and saw Anna then smiled.

"Yeah, tha sneachd ann, Anna." I said and she giggled.

"Did you just wake up, Seona?"

"Sorry. Come look, there's snow falling still." I said and she ran over, waking Kusanagi. I smiled as she stared at the snow then she smiled at me.

"Can we go play in it?" I smiled and kneeled down to her.

"Have Kusanagi go get you dressed while I get dressed, okay?" She nodded and Kusanagi went to get her dressed in winter gear (Anna's clothes are above!) as I got my clothes on.

I slid my jacket on then she ran down and we went outside to play in the snow. We made snow angels, a snowman, and when the guys came out, we had a giant snowball fight. I laughed as Kusanagi got hit in the face and fell in the snow then I saw Rikio and hit him, making him scream. Yata grabbed me and I screamed for a second, not knowing who it was, then he laughed as he hugged me.

"Thanks for bringing Anna out here." I nodded and went to Dewa then pushed him into the snow face first, making everyone laugh. I screamed as I slipped then Yata rushed to grab me but we both fell into the snow, my hat falling off as I laughed. He started laughing then I gasped as more snow fell, coating my hair and his.

"I haven't had this much fun in a while." I whispered, both of us oblivious to the guys continuing the snowball fight, as he smiled and laid over me.

"Well, stick around and you'll have lots of fun." He said and I smiled as he laid over me. I smirked and shoved a handful of snow into his face, making him gawk and he rolled off me. I laughed and grabbed my hat, running to Anna. She squealed as I lifted her to use her as a human shield.

"I can't hit Anna, that's not fair!" Yata yelled and I laughed as Anna giggled.

"Yeah?! Haha!" I laughed and Anna sneezed then I saw her little cheeks bright red.

"Okay, inside we go." I said and she pouted.

"Warm up and you can come back out here." I said and she giggled as she nodded. We went to the door and I slipped on the steps, making me laugh.

"Are you okay?!" Rikio laughed and I nodded as I stood.

"I'm fine." I said and brushed my legs off then saw a towel in front of the door. We stomped our boots on the ground, knocking the snow off, then I got her hot cocoa then got me a cup as we sat in the bar and watched the guys outside.

"Misaki seems to like you." She said and I smiled.

"As a friend, maybe. I'm just a best friend to him. Wait, you're like, ten-"

"I'm twelve." She said and my eyes widened.

"Damn." I said and she giggled.

"Yeah, I look younger than I am."

"That's cute, I like it." I said and she smiled. The door opened and the guys all came in then we laughed as they were red nosed, red-cheeked, and shivering.

"I made seoclaid teth." I said and they looked at my cup, understanding what I meant.

"Hot chocolate, awesome!" Rikio cheered and they went to get a cup each. They all sat around us then I smiled as I finished my cup.

"Did everyone have fun?" Kusanagi asked and everyone nodded but I kept thinking about what Anna had said, about Yata.

"Seona?" I turned and saw everyone looking at me.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Your cup, do you want more?" I looked at my empty cup and nodded.

"Yeah, thanks." I smiled and Kusanagi got me another cup then I looked out the window again.

"Are you okay?" Miwa asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just love watching the snowfall." I said and they understood. And it wasn't a lie, I just didn't want to see Anna's smug ass grin if I had said I was thinking.
