Moomin's POV
It was early in the morning, maybe the earliest I have gotten up ever. It felt like I just sensed that it was Spring today. I got really excited since I was going to see Snufkin again!- And my friends of course. I got up and headed down to see Mamma, she was in the kitchen as usual. Making pancakes.
"Mamma, Mamma!" I yelled in excitement. "It's Spring!"
"I know, Moomin. Do you want some pancakes?" Mamma cheerfully said.
"Yes, of cou-" I was about to sit down when I heard..
"Snufkin!" I heard his Spring tune that he played on his harmonica, I was so overwhelmed when I saw him walking towards the bridge with his chunky brown boots, pastel yellow scarf and green hat.
I raced down to the bridge as fast as I can, I could hear the Spring tune getting louder and louder as I got closer.
"Hello, Moomintroll." Snufkin calmly exclaimed as he put his harmonica in his backpack.
"Snufkin.. Hey!" I lost my breath for a moment of how much I ran. "How was your winter?"
"Long and cold, as usual." Snufkin replied, I could see him smiling underneath his hat.
"Yeah, same to me.. and I -" I got cut off.
"HEY MOOMIN, WHY DID YOU LEAVE WITHOUT ME!" Little My yelled as she ran, gosh that angry gremlin. "Ohh, I see." Little My continued.
"Shut up Little My!" I rolled my eyes. Snufkin started turning red, oh god-
"Moomin, would you like to go on a adventure with me?" Snufkin tried to change the topic.
"Yes, of course. I just need to ask Mamma!" I ran back to the house.
"Mamma, can I go on a adventure with Snufkin?" I asked.
"Yes, of course dear." Mamma calmly replied as usual.
"Thank you Mamma!" I was so excited.
"Let's go, Moomin." Snufkin smiled as we started to roam the forest, I forgot how beautiful it was in Spring, the flowers were pretty and colorful. "Woah, the forest is very beautiful this Spring. don't you agree Moomintroll?" Snufkin glanced at the beautiful flower field. "Yeah, It really is.." I replied while I sat down with Snufkin on a nearby hill. I felt Snufkin hold my paw. I didn't want to say anything about it because honestly.. I didn't want him to stop.
I felt myself turn red and hoped Snufkin wouldn't notice.
"Moomin?" Snufkin noticed I was silent for a while.
"A-Ah, yes?" I dazed back to reality from my daydream.
I don't think Snufkin noticed that he held my paw, maybe it was accidental..?
He started turning red "Oh, I-I'm sorry, Moomin!" He continued "I didn't notice."
"It's okay, Snufkin!" I smiled.

Snufkin's POV
I walked down the pathway in the forest, the snow was melting. Spring was here.
I got my harmonica out of my backpack and began to play my spring tune under shady trees as petals fell. I couldn't wait to see Moomintroll, he's the only person I'd go back to. He understands me and he's kinda cute- WAIT UR NOT GAY!- Or am I? I mean.. I haven't thought about my sexuality actually, what if I am? I've never felt.. attracted to a girl. God, what am I thinking? I can't be in love with Moomin, but.. maybe? This is gonna be hard.
"Snufkin!" I heard Moomin yell, I'll never miss the feeling of seeing him after such a long time. Afterall, he loves spending time with me, and he must be lonely.
"Hello, Moomintroll." I smiled.
This was different than every other year he hugged me, but not as usual it felt like it was so much longer and warmer. Yes, he has hugged me lots of times but.. I don't know this was just giving me butterflies in my stomach.
"It's nice to see you again, Snufkin!" He cheerfully exclaimed. "It's nice to see you too."
"MOOMIN, YOU LEFT WITHOUT ME!" I could hear Little My shouting and running with her tiny legs. How is she so freaking short- "Oh, I see." She continued.
"SHUT UP LITTLE MY!" Moomin yelled as he rolled his eyes, meanwhile Little My was smirking more than she smirked at the sight of Snorkmaiden and Moomin together.
Time skip, we went into the usual forest we'd go to every Spring, It was really lovely.
I suddenly thought. What if I held Moomin's Paw? He wouldn't notice or mind.. Right? And I did, of course. I'm so lucky to have someone that would miss me whenever I left, but would wait for me and risk their own happiness.
