Snow

Written By DesertPeach

Disclaimer: Sadly I don’t own Naruto. Or a lot of things would be different. Anyway where I lived just got a major snowfall, which is VERY rare. So when I was dragged out of my warm, dry, happy house to go to the cold icky thing I call school just to learn less then half the people showed I wrote a this. Mostly in-between movies, and nothing. So please enjoy this, I did while writing it. I laughed out loud in the middle of class and everyone looked at me. Anyways this is a happy piece, to help cheer me up because I'm in a fight, Well kinda. Anyhoo... Im supost to be in school. Lol.

Winter, that’s what it was. It was cold and fluffy but at the same time it would crunch at every foot sept you took. A young red headed boy looked down, unamused by this foreign substance. He then lifted and took a small step. It crunched again making the red head scowl. “What is this stuff?” he said finally as he turned to look over at another boy, with silk black hair cut into a bowl cut.

“Gaara , your joking right? Just because you live in the desert doesn’t mean you don’t know what snow is!” The boy smiled, as he laughed mercilessly at Gaara.

“Snow?” Gaara repeated. He shook a bit. Maybe what he was wearing wasn’t ‘snow’ cloths.

“Yes, snow. What about snow?” Gaara glared at the black haired boy. Getting the look made the mop top slightly scared and he backed up a bit.

“Lee, what’s snow?” Gaara repeated, more threatening this time in his voice. Rock Lee looked at Gaara. He has been thinking of a way to explain snow.

“Uh... Well it is frozen water...” Lee said as he watched Gaara from his porch. Gaara had wondered outside and was now stranded in the middle of Lee’s lawn.

“That’s ice.” Gaara growled taking an other slow step to try and back to the nice warm house.

“Well... Before rain turns into hale it is snow...” Lee signed. He didn’t know that explaining snow would be so hard. Gaara lifted his feet higher as he walked. He looked back to see how far he’d gotten. He had gotten about 3 feet from where he’d walked himself in. At the time he was walking, he hadn’t noticed the snow, Until Rock Lee had told him. It had felt awkwardly cold. “Hey Gaara, hurry up and get inside. I’ll make you some hot chocolate and then we can get dressed properly to play in the snow.” Lee called as he stood up from the crouching position he was in. He stretched a bit, taking one more look at the red head before shaking his head and walking to the door. It was cold out and Gaara glared at Lee, as if saying ‘Don’t dare leave me out here!’ before walking faster in the white powder. As he was almost five or less feet away from the steps of the porch he sped up.

Lee had opened the door and walked inside to the kitchen to start to heat the water. He was looking in cupboards for two big mugs, marshmallows and the hot chocolate mix. He sat it all out on the counter and waited for the water to boil.

Gaara sped up a bit more, resulting in him tripping in the white powder and landing face first. His eyes widened as he quickly pushed himself up. He was now cold, covered in the white stuff, and his hands where slightly pink! He growled as whipped off some of the snow and cursing that his sand should be protecting him right now. He huffed a bit, seeing his breath. He finally made it to the porch and into the house.

Lee was sitting in his nice warm house, reading a scroll. He looked up when he heard the door slam shut. A small smile spread across his face. As he placed the scroll down, the red head walked into the room. A scowl bigger then Lee had even seen on anyone ever before was across Gaara’s face. The snow began to drip from Gaara’s nose and shirt making a slight ‘splat’ as it hit the ground. “What in the hell happened to you?” Lee asked, blinking as Gaara huffed and moved to sit in the chair next to Lee.

“Snow happened...”
