"I'll murder you and your snowman!"

"Wow...I didn't peg you for such a sore loser." Gouenji chuckled in response to Kira's whining.

"I'm just annoyed because this is my first time playing in the snow and I lost right away." She pouted.

Gouenji walked over to her and put his arms around her shoulders, "Don't be like that, your snowman is also quite...uhh.....unique." He tried to cheer her up, looking at the uneven mound of snow with a small carrot for a nose.

"Just you wait, I will make the best snowman ever. And that too, by the end of the day." She declared, ignoring what Gouenji had said.

"But why today? This snow is staying for another couple of days." Gouenji asked.

"I just have to. For my own peace of mind." Kira got out of his hold and stomped towards her snowman.

"Suit yourself, I guess. Don't stay out for too long though, or you will fall sick. " Gouenji muttered nonchalantly, and walked inside.

...

"I can't believe she is still out there." Gouenji muttered looking at Kira from the kitchen window. It had been two hours and Kira had still been tirelessly making snowmen again and again.

He finished making the hot chocolate and brought them outside.

"Get inside now,Kira!You've been out for too long." He called out to her.

"I told you I won't stop until I make a good snowman." Kira answered without turning back.

"At least take a break. I made hot chocolate." He insisted.

"Can't stop." She answered in the shortest way possible.

Gouenji sighed in defeat and retreated inside.

...

"YES!" Gouenji heard a faint scream from outside. He stood up and followed the source of the familiar voice.

The sun had almost set and the afterglow from it made the snow twinkle beautifully. It was the perfect winter wonderland. In their front yard stood a small army of snowmen, each slightly better than the other and the one closest to their porch looked the most proportionate and well-shaped.

Kira ran towards the porch and holding Gouenji's hand, dragged him to where the snowman stood.

"Look, I did it!" She announced excitedly pointing at the snowman. "It's even better than yours." She answered feigning pride.

"I'm so proud of you." Gouenji played along and pulled her into a side-hug. They stood looking at their yard full of snowmen with a content smile on their faces.

Just then Kira interrupted the calm atmosphere with a sneeze, "Oh no, I don't feel well." Her voice suddenly felt heavy.

...

"How are you feeling now?" Gouenji asked softly as he entered the room with a bowl of soup.

"The same as an hour ago." Kira's voice was barely recognisable as she sneezed for the nth time.

"I told you not to be out for that long." Gouenji spoke with concern.

"It was worth it." Kira answered as she threw a tissue into an almost full dustbin.

In response Gouenji just silently shook his head.
