Regardless Kagami chooses to enjoy it, she enjoys a warmer drink sitting by the warmer fire, she enjoys the idea of going back to ice skate, with more positive experiences attached to it than the last and finally, she knows she’ll enjoy doing it all of it with the young woman on the sidewalk sneezing into her sleeves, her pink backpack falling to the ground as she does so.

Perfect timing. “You can drop me off here. I’ll walk the rest of the way,” Kagami said while reaching for her own bag, already prepared to leave the car.

Her driver turned back, slightly worried “Miss Tsurugi, I’d prefer to take you all the way, I understand there isn’t much distance from here to school but I can’t just leave you.”

“Sorry, but I’d prefer if you did. You can just follow me from a distance to assure I’m safe if you must,” With the car door left open and Kagami far from it, she couldn’t help but hope her driver heard her when she was leaving and that her voice didn’t get picked up in the light wind. She didn’t wish for him to be in trouble, she just wanted to spend some of her morning with Marinette. It could be called a selfish wish sure, but it was one she was happy to make.

Approaching the girl scrambling to get her stuff in order, all the while sneaking on said stuff, Kagami scooped her girlfriends' bag along with a couple of books that seem to have fallen out.

“If you aren't feeling well, it might be best for you to go home. The last thing I’d want is to see you deal with an excess school workload and a cold.”

Looking up from her fallen belongings Marinette notices the other girl with shock. “Kagami!” God, she was cute. “Wait? Sick, me? No. No way, absolutely not,” Marinette brought herself up with Kagami who was offering a hand and hurriedly tried to explain herself.

“Trust me, I’m not irresponsible enough to come to school sick, I just never do well with the cold,” With Marinette's hands moving so quickly back and forth, Kagami made sure to catch one of the girl flying pens falling from her flailing.

“I’m anything, it's just my body reacting badly to being a tiny itsy bit tired,” She continued, “Since valentine's day is fast approaching Papa and Mama have been getting orders like crazy. They’ve been working all night to organize in advance for a couple of events and plan how they’ll complete so many orders so quickly”

Noticing the look sent her way, Mari chose to wrap her arm around Kagami, bringing her tightly to her and finally adding, “Though if I ever was sick, I promise to stay home and tell you.”

Adding a warm kiss to cold and absolutely not sick girl cheeks, Kagami relented. “As long as you know, I can’t take care of you and make you soup to help you get better if I’m not the first person you inform.”

“I’m sorry? Take care of me how? Kagami, let alone making me soup, do you even know how to cook?” Marinette asks while seemingly hiding a laugh.

Stiffening, Kagami left the short girl's arm and was starting to walk at a normal pace to school.

“Let’s go Marinette, I don’t want to be late and you shouldn’t either.”

“Kagami don’t you dare run from me, I have three projects that I’m carrying and they are way too heavy for me to catch up.”

Smiling while Marinette followed her, Kagami remembered turning back and seeing Mari's cheeks pink and delicate snowflakes stuck in her equally pink beanie and hair. She was happy, joyous even, at all the time they had together and plans waiting to happen.

If all Kagami knew about snowfall was Marinette in it, it was all she needed to know to know she loved it.

I wrote this months ago but with a lot that happened in my personal life and other I knew I completely forgot I had this account and basically abandoned social media for a bit. Either way I though I’d post this and edit a couple others thing I had for a short fic about these two being cute also a smidge of winter propaganda. I’ve also read way to much manga of people making chocolate for valentine day and wanted to give it a try. My dumb dream of “making” chocolate for Valentine’s Day as been completed, it was quite easy and I think these are adorable (if a bit messy) so I’ll probably try to do smt more complex next time. Happy Valentine’s Day, hope you enjoy it with yourself or anyone you care about and thank you for reading!

It was hard to be sure when you woke up, just that you did. Slowly noticing the damp air and the raindrops coming from the storm outside, you decided against opening your eyes. Knowing the mass sleeping beside you, it would be better to pretend to be unconscious.

Eden was a light sleeper, and with the way he clung to your body, he’d notice any movement you made to leave the comfort of his arms. You sadly knew how much it would hurt if you tried anything that resembled leaving. The contrast a flash of lighting gave to an other wise dark sky stole your attention.

“Just stay still. Stay still for a little longer” It hurts, you tried to tell him, still shaking. You tried and failed to control your breathing, he needed to let you go. He shushed you, “Do this for me baby I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry. But do this for me so I don’t get mad again.”

You didn’t want to do anything for him the only thing you wanted was for him to shut up. You felt your heart beat speed up. It hurt, you couldn’t talk, your throat still sore. Being trapped in his arms made it impossible to focus on anything else. Your world just keeper on getting smaller and darker. It made you feel trapped, the only though you could process was that it was hard to move. You couldn’t move. Couldn’t push the man who made you feel like this away.

Another flash of lighting struck.

Arm wrapped around your neck so softly you would have mistaken the action as a form of affection. You tried to imagine it as such, it was better than listening to whatever he was screaming at you. “What do you mean?” He demanded.

You closed your eyes, hoping to block him out. Showing him you didn’t want to do this right now. That you weren’t ready for this right now.

The pressure around you neck tightened.

“You pathetic bitch! What did you say?”

Rapidly opening your eyes, your tried to claw his hands of your neck.

“Don’t stop me, answer! You think you can leave? After all I’ve done for you! You think you can just leave me? I saved you! I treasured you!” Thrashing left and right, he pushed you down to stop you movements. Coming close enough to your face that you could feel spit leaving his mouth when he screamed.

“I loved you”

No sound was heard when you tried to scream.

The sound of the rain used to be soothing, a calm background sound. It still would be if it wasn’t raining that night.

Still gasping you could see the blurred lines of Eden’s face looking down above you. You could feel bits of his brown hair falling onto your face. You could feel his dual painted nails squeezing your throat so tight.

You could see his smile looking at you with the widest smile on his face.

It was starting to get hard to tell what was a dream and what wasn’t.

Tighter, his hand started to tighten even more than what you wished was possible. You wanted to fight back, you wanted him to stop, to let you go.

Tighter, your hands started to tighten more than you thought possible. Eden waking up with a shock, seemingly terrified while looking up at you.

Eden was looking down, still cruelly laughing at you.

Drool started to dribble down the side of his mouth. His eyes showing panic while he tried saying you name.

No matter how hard you tried to beg, he continued to smile, choking you. Asking you to say his name. Screaming at you to beg while saying his name.

You couldn’t hear the rain anymore and another struck of lighting flashed.
