and Snow |
AN: Winter has arrived and it gave me this idea.
--------------------------------
“It’s so freaking cold!”
Beka looked at Harper, “I hear you but Dylan thought it would be fun if we came down on this planet. He said we could use a break.”
“He actually likes cold?”
Beka shrugged, “Or he has a sick sense of humor.”
Dylan cried out as he was pelted with a snowball, “Hey!”
Rommie smiled, “Got you!”
“Two can play this game!” He grabbed some snow and threw it at her. Soon they were on the ground laughing. Rommie slid into his embrace, “This was a great idea Dylan.”
Their lips touched and everything else was forgotten.
Rhade watched them, how could cold weather bring two people such happiness. He saw Harper and Trance building a snowman. Beka didn’t look like she was thrilled at all. He went over to join her.
“You cold?” He asked.
“No I don’t like planets.” She replied.
Rhade pulled her close, “What are you doing?”
“It’s Neitzchean custom, when a friend is unhappy or distressed you offer compassion and comfort.”
“The last one I knew didn’t do that.”
Rhade sneered, “He was what we would call an evolutionary failure.”
Beka smiled at that, “Ever throw a snowball?”
“Tarazed has no winter.”
Beka smiled; “Here let me show you.”
Soon they were throwing snow as fast as they could and eventually their lips were pressed against each other’s. Soon they pulled apart.
Beka sighed in his embrace, “Snow isn’t so bad after all.”
THE END.
