Who: YOU
What: SNOW
When: DECEMBER 6th
Where: EVERYWHERE
WHAT: SNOW (BONUS TREE DECORATING)

As a quiet Friday dawned on the school's campus, one could perhaps...feel it in the air. A creeping chill, a silent, barely-detectable indication that yes. Tonight would be the night.



By Saturday morning, the entire academy would be covered in snow.

BUT WAIT



That wasn't all--a large pine tree had made an appearance on the main quad, in desperate need of decoration.

"Clear-san, it's good to see--"

Mukuro gets the wind taken out of her chest by a barrel rolling Clear. She recoils back from the impact, obviously not very used to hugs - nevermind hugs of this intensity from a chirpy guy like Clear.

"Oooof." were the first words out of her mouth soon after as she managed to get her bearings back.

"I'm happy to see you too." she said as she looked down at Clear who was hugging her and made an awkward attempt at hugging back.

"Really?! Aaah..." Clear sighed contentedly, dipping his head to nuzzle into her hair. She was only about a few inches shorter than him, just enough for him to be able to do something like that.

Finally, however, he pulled away, his expression still steadily pleased as though he'd just seen her at that very second.

"It has been some time, Ikusaba-san! I had wondered where you'd gone." He craned his head curiously, a soft giggle passing through his reddened, frost-nipped lips. "Have you been well?"

In that moment, Mukuro felt a tiny bit of a warmth different from the warmth that her coat was giving her. It was a feeling of contentedness, from being recognised, from not being just the girl hanging out in the back of the classroom. It felt nice. When Clear moved away, Mukuro brushed a tiny bit of snow from her hair that had managed to settle there from his hug.

"I have been well, yes. How about you? I see you are enjoying the change in season once again."

In Clear's eyes, no one deserved to be looked at as just that person in the back with no friends. Goodness, every living thing was important! Even Toue, and he pretty much sucked elk udders. Someone surely saw him as a vital person in life... and surely other people thought the same of Mukuro, right? Right! The bottom line: Everyone Had Worth.

"Yes, I am! Isn't it lovely, Ikusaba-san?!" He took a deep breath in of that lovely winter air. "Winter is a beautiful season. It signifies the ending of one year and the beginning of new things to come. Also, it snows!"

He dipped down to the snow, took a ball of it in his hands, and just tossed it over himself, giggling cheerily.

"Hehehe, yay, snow~!"

[iksb]

"Snow..."

Mukuro looked at the ground and picked up a double handful of it. She formed it into a loose snowball, and turned to Clear with a larger smile on her face.

"Look sharp!" she said, as she lobbed the compacted snow towards Clear. If he liked snow so much, she might as well give some to him.

[kuragekasa]

"Eh-?"

Thwack.

When it came to facing a SHSL Soldier, Clear was possibly not to be a match, not even on a snowy battlefield. He didn't have much time to dodge, and even so, he spent most of those precious milliseconds staring in confusion.

Ooooh. Now she's gonna pay, he playfully thought as he swiped the snow off of his reddened face.

"Ikusaba-saaaaaan! So mean!" His harsh statements, however, were accompanied with a carefree laugh as he started scooping some snow himself and running to the nearest poles, benches, or just... wherever he could possibly hide. The first thing that caught his eyes was a stray tree, so he concealed himself there, giggling gleefully.

"Look... sharp!" Despite his awkward pause as he toyed with the slang for the first time, he was quick to throw a ball of snow at an incredible speed, much unlike any human's.
