it was the first snow of the year and there was something special about how it transformed uconn’s campus into a winter wonderland. you noticed the snowflakes falling as you peeked out your dorm window, a quiet gasp escaping your lips.

“KK,” you whispered, excitement bubbling in your voice, “it’s snowing!”

from her spot on the bed, KK looked up from her phone, her hair framing her face. she smiled, a slow, deliberate kind of smile that made your heart flutter. “then what are we doing in here?” she jumped up, setting her phone aside.

ten minutes later, you were bundled up and stepping into the snowy world outside. the snow crunched softly beneath your boots, and flurries danced in the air. KK’s gloved hand found yours, warm and steady, as you wandered through the campus together.

“everything looks so different in the snow,” you said, marveling at how the familiar pathways and buildings seemed new under the fresh snow.

"it's beautiful" KK agreed. her voice was calm, "but not as beautiful as you."

before you could reply, she bent down, scooped up a handful of snow, and lobbed it at you.

“oh, it’s like that, huh?” you laughed, retaliating with your own snowball. what started as playful shots quickly escalated into an all-out snowball fight. KK darted behind a tree for cover, giggling uncontrollably as you tried to sneak around and catch her. finally, she tackled you into a snowbank, her laughter ringing out into the cold air.

lying in the snow, breathless and grinning, you both watched the flakes tumble from the sky, settling in KK’s hair like tiny, perfect stars. she turned her head toward you, her smile softening.

the two of you wandered through the campus, making a lopsided snowman with mismatched sticks for arms. by the time you finished, your fingers were tingling from the cold, and KK declared it was time for some hot cocoa.

back inside, the warmth of the apartment felt like a hug. you sat together on her bed, wrapped in a shared blanket as the scent of hot chocolate wafted from the mugs in your hands.

“today was perfect,” you said, resting your head on her shoulder.

KK kissed the top of your head, her voice soft. “you’re perfect.”
