As the calamity from earlier calmed down, the same could be said for the temperature. That much was clear from the goosebumps that lined your arms. Despite the cold air though, your boyfriend remained upbeat as you were walking to your house, taking a detour through Inokashira park.
You shivered, tightly folding your arms across your chest. "Ugh, why does Winter have to be so freezing?"
"There'd be something wrong if it wasn't." Ryuji responded. "Anyway, it ain't that bad."
"Speak for yourself!"
He chuckled as you began to rant, frowning as you did so. It was only when you heard the lack of his footsteps that you stopped, turning around.
"Ryuj- ah!"
A snowball hit you square in the face, and as the remnants of snow fell to your top you could stand there in shock. Ryuji grinned, another snowball already in hand.
"Oh, you..." You kneeled down, gathering snow together and flinging it towards Ryuji as he tried to duck for cover.
"H-Hey!" He continued to laugh as you pelted him.
When you paused to reload your ammo, he smirked as he rolled his shoulder.
"Alright, take this!" After raising his arm as far back as he could, he swiftly threw it forward and flung the snowball.
You looked up to see it coming close, before it hit you, knocking you backwards.
Ryuji laughed heartily, fist bumping. "Hah, didn't see that coming did'ja?!"
You stayed on the snowy grass of the park, holding your palm against your face. Ryuji continued to gloat when he noticed your silence, his laugh fading.
"Uh, you okay? I didn't throw it that hard, did I...?" He questioned with unease, coming close. He knelt by your side, tilting his head to get a view of your face. "Y/n?"
With your other hand you discreetly gathered up snow, raising you head to grin. "No... Not as hard as this one!"
Ryuji had no time to even react when you giggled, throwing snow on his face. He fell back but not before grabbing into your arms and pulling you with him. Still in the midst of laughing, your head rested against his chest, feeling it rumble as he chuckled as well.
"Alright, you win." Ryuji said, smiling.
"Thank you." You replied with laughter in your voice. "Should I take my prize now, or later?"
"Alright, ramen sound good?" He offerd.
You beamed, sitting up. "That sounds sound amazing."
You began to dust the remnants of snow off you, blowing upwards to move the strands of hair that got messy during the fight. As you did so, you felt a stare.
"Hm? What's up?" You asked, expression one of confusion. Ryuji didn't respond right away, still in a daze as he looked at you. His cheeks were coloured with a pink blush across his cheeks and ears. Whether it was due to the wintry air, you weren't sure.
"Ah, it's uh... Nothing." He chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "I was just thinking this is kinda nice, y'know?"
You returned it, a warmth reaching your own cheeks. "I get it."
He held his gaze for you for a moment before he stretched his arms. "Well, we should get goin'."
"Good idea." You agreed, rolling off of him. After he stood he held out his hands to you, pulling you upwards. What you didn't except was to be hugged afterwards. "Huh...?"
