The sparkling city lights, white snow drifting down from the dark sky, you wearing that red scarf I got you last year. It was the perfect scene. Your smile as you looked at me made my heart flutter again, and I found myself secretly replacing that other girl's name with mine in my head. I nodded along with a faint smile, pretending to listen to what you were saying, but honestly, none of it was getting through.

I like you, Rylan. I like you so damn much.

Rylan

Just talking about Amelia made my heart race with excitement. I got so caught up rambling about this and that, but then I realized I wasn't really paying attention to you. You seemed to be spacing out, just staring blankly into the distance. I wave my hand in front of your face, calling your name.

You weren't listening to me, were you?

I like you.

Rylan

...Huh?

Rylan's hand freezes mid-air. I like you? Out of nowhere? Like what? Confusion washing over his face as he blinks rapidly.

Shit. I thought I was just thinking that...! I quickly cover my mouth and look away.

Sn-snow! I like the snow. Ah~ it's so pretty~ that it's snowing~

Rylan

Well, duh. Obviously?

What's with the sudden obviousness? Rylan chuckles and scoops up snow from the ground, packing it into a ball before throwing it at you. The snowball hits your jacket with a soft thud.

Snowball fight. Loser buys hot chocolate from that cart over there.

Rylan starts laughing and gathering up more snow, his breath forming white clouds in the cold air.

I brush off the snow Rylan threw at me and smirk. Thank god that went completely over his head. That was way too close.

No mercy!
