For denetelle_noir. Merry Christmas!

"I used to think snow was pretty," Quatre said, rubbing his gloved hands together and breathing on them. He was shaking, his body trying to keep some of the body heat.

Trowa wanted nothing more than to put his arms around Quatre and hold him close, sharing the little warmth he did have. Quatre was never good handling the cold and granted the weather was terrible. Even though the clothes they were wearing were kind of warm they definitely weren't warm enough.

"It's still pretty," Trowa said.

"Yeah, well my numb fingers aren't letting me see that right now." Quatre crossed his hands and pushed his chin to his chest, trying to hide his face from the freezing wind. "I'm not even sure I'll get my fingers to cooperate when it's time to move."

It had been six hours. Six hours of standing in the snow, getting wetter and colder by the minute. It was a test, the informant had said. New recruits were made to wait outside, facing the elements for whatever long the leader wanted before they were let in. They were supposed to be two new recruits, distraught about the current government and ready to join this new extremist group.

"Just think about each beautiful snowflake," Trowa said, smirking.

Quatre rolled his eyes. "Like people, all of them unique snowflakes and special in their own way? Shove it. I'm not in the mood."

The door of the rundown house opened and a man with a greasy sweater and a slightly psychotic smile stood at the threshold. "Follow me," he said.

Trowa flexed his fingers and followed Quatre inside. It was time to work, but as soon as this mission was over he would take Quatre to a secluded cabin in the mountains and make sure he learned how to love the snow again.

Poor Quatre. He really does not like the cold.

Loved this, very them. Trowa so needs to make this up to Quatre. *looks hopeful* Of course I'm curious to see what happens with them undercover too. *feeds bunnies because it's been so long since I've done that*

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Anne. Quatre is very grumpy right now but Trowa will make it all better. And no feeding the bunnies! They are locked in a closet right now with strick instructions not to disturb me *nodnod*

I hope Quatre takes a long time learning to love the snow. I'm sure Trowa won't mind. ^___^

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

He wouldn't mind at all. He's happy to help ^-^

[merith.livejournal.com]

ah... trowa knows just how to make it better. :) and much, much warmer for quater!

thanks mis!

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Yes he does. He's good at that *nodnod*

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Whee! There were tons of details in there that I really liked. Like the slightly psychotic smile *grins* And Quatre's "shove it" definitely amused me.

Lovely *beams*

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wanted Quatre to be all grumpy. He's fun like that ^-^

[chatona.livejournal.com]

He is! And very cute, too *grins*

[misao-duo.livejournal.com]

For a surreal moment I though you were going to say that Trowa would take Qautre to a secluded cabin and make sure he learned ho to...shove it XD
God I'm such a perv, I'm sorry XD
The ficlet was very adorable (I promise I will stop perverting it with my wandering naughty thoughts ;D)

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I'm sure Trowa was thinking along those lines too. He's a perv *grins*

And that icon has to be the cutest thing ever!

[misao-duo.livejournal.com]

yeah...TROWA is the perv!
He is the one to blame for *nods nods*

Thank you ♥

[dentelle-noir.livejournal.com]

That is THE most adorable icon ever. My mission: Comment on icon.

[misao-duo.livejournal.com]

Hahaha thank youuuuu ^_____________^~♥

[dentelle-noir.livejournal.com]

Oh THANK YOU MIS! And a merry christmas to you too! This is WONDERFUL! *hugs the fic*

I loved Quatre in this, and Trowa was so great, quietly thinking up a way to make it up to Quatre. I just wish I knew what the movie was... I'm usually good at Movie references, but this escapes me. *sigh*

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm so happy that you liked it. It took me a bit to find inspiration for snowflakes so I'm really glad it worked. The movie is Fight Club.

Quote from the movie: "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake."

Poor Quatre. But I can sympathize (sp?), I'm not much of a fan of cold weather either. Grew up in tropics, get cold easily when it's only chilly -_-; I think I wouldn't survive the winter at all without being curled up in the corner of my bed. At least, Quatre has someone who is willing to share another side of the snow. Adorable all the way~! :D

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Where did you grow up? The tropics rule! I can't handle the cold very well either because of that. I'm a total wuss. Thanks for commenting!

[tyreling.livejournal.com]

I'm from Suriname, part of the Guianas. Same here. I get so cold easily, it's not even funny.
