You had a great love for the snow. Growing up you had always had a white Christmas and the whole of winter was usually filled with varying levels of snow. Once you reached adulthood you had moved around and ended up moving in with your boyfriend, Bucky, on the other side of the country and had since not had snow. You loved your life, but you had wanted a few snowflakes at least once a year but for the couple of years that you had lived there, the winter was mild and bland- this year it changed.

It was a few days off of Christmas when you were woken up early by your boyfriend, insisting that you looked out of the window. You threatened to throw him out of it for waking you up so early, but you did as you were told and pulled open the curtains. You didn't know what you were expecting but you were shocked to see a thick sheet of snow across everything outside whilst more continued to fall.

"It snowed," you grinned.

"Heavily," he added.

You didn't have time to continue the conversation. Still in your pyjamas you grabbed a thick jumper and pulled it on and grabbed your winter boots before putting on your hat, scarf and gloves. You shouted at Bucky to do the same, but he already knew that you would want to be out in the snow so was already getting ready.

The crunch of the snow under your boot sent a shiver down your spine as you headed out to just stand in the falling snow. You span around to show you childish grin to your boyfriend who had now joined you out in the front garden of your home.

"It's so amazing," you smiled walking around, just enjoying the sound of the snow under foot.

Bucky laughed at you until he noticed you start to wipe your gloved hand along the garden wall. He paused, not sure if you were just brushing off the snow but as you began to clump it together, he knew that things weren't going to go well. You shot him a devilish smile raising the snow in your hand.

"Don't you date throw that snowba-" Bucky's words were cut short by the snow colliding with his face. "Goddammit."

You laughed maniacally as you saw his expression shift and knew he was not going to let you get away with that.

"Do you think this is funny?" He asked, wiping the snow from his face.

You nodded your head. "You are the winter soldier."

"You're going to regret this," he stated.

He quickly grabbed some snow and launched it in your direction. The two of you continued to throw snow back and forth, laughing terribly until he ultimately won the battle, forcing an apology from you even though both of you knew there was no sincerity to it, and you would do it again.
