TW KINDA

OH AND UHM SWEARING

Winter POV

Winter quickly made his way to his room and flopped down on the bed, still frustrated.

Just a few more hours...

Winter approached his trunk and carefully removed his icy, pale blue headphones. (He doesn't use AirPods bc "Its harmfulll to your earrsss") He blasts his playlist in his ears and finishes the last of his unpacking. He finished fairly early and decided to lie down and read. With music, of course. He opened the book he was reading, "Siege and Storm". It was gripping, but not as good as the first book according to Winter.

He smiled to himself when he saw his bookmark. It was a picture Qibli drew of him and Winter. "It's adorable," murmured Winter.

Ah, yes. Page 139. jsidqnrgijnrtgienrtgherncrhtnhr (How very civilized Winter!)

The day was boring without Qibli. He wouldn't tell Qibli, but Winter missed him. He sighed and continued reading. He stared tiredly at the curtained window and felt his eyes drooping slightly. He soon fell into an uneasy sleep.

//////Winter's dream//////

Winter was back at his house. It was almost impossible to call it home. He was sitting in his room, in the corner. He heard yelling from outside. His dad had alcohol again. Of course. His parents were arguing about Winter's dog Bandit. "He a nuisance! A waste of money!" Winter heard Narwhal yell, his voice filled with anger. Winter loved Bandit, and now... He doesn't know. Luckily Bandit was sleeping quietly in the corner of Winter's room, curled in a ball. Winter slipped out of his room and watched, filled with fear as his parents argued about his pet dog.

"Stop shouting! It's not helping the situation AT ALL. I could tell the servants to drop the mutt off on the road somewhere..." snapped Tundra, her rage showing on her face. Tundra was a tall and skinny lady with her pale hair coming to her waist. Her face was contorted in a permanent frown.

Sadness gripped Winter, and he rushed back into his room. He grabbed his phone and texted Qibli.

Winter: QIBLI

CAN YOU PICK ME UP??

I NEED TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW

There was no response. Winter waited another 5 minutes.

Qibli normally responds immediately... What happened??

Suddenly, there was a crashing noise outside. Narwhal. What did he do now?? Winter heard his sister Icicle scream. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??" She shouted at her father. "ICICLE PERMAFROST, HOW DARE YOU USE SUCH LANGUAGE IN MY HOUSE!" yelled Tundra, making Icicle gasp. Winter listened carefully from behind his bedroom door.

Icicle is the favorite child... How come Tundra yelled at her? She normally never does that...

Winter had enough. He put a leash on Bandit, his soft fur brushing against Winter's hands. Winter never really liked his house, and since it was so big, there was always a different passage to leave, or in Winter's words; ESCAPE.

He snuck out with an already packed bag for emergencies and Bandit. Winter started in the direction of Qibli's house. Suddenly, Bandit tugged at his leash to chase a small butterfly. (It was around 7 pm and they could still see stuff, but it was kinda dark anyway) "Bandit NO!" said Winter, noticing a car coming from the opposite direction at full speed, but it was too late. Bandit let out a piercing yelp and Winter squeezed his eyes shut.

//////End of dream//////

Winter bolted awake, sweating slightly. He held back his tears.

Calm down... It was only a nightmare...

He wiped his sweat with the back of his hand and drank some water. He was still shaking. Then, the doorbell rang, causing Winter to yelp. He stumbled to get the door. He opened it and saw Qibli, slightly pale, but happy. Winter broke into a smile and strangle hugged his best friend. Qibli chuckled. "Missed me?" he asked. (Miss me, miss me now you gotta ki- I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE) Winter rolled his eyes playfully. "No of course not," he said with a grin. "Yea right." Winter then realised that they were very close to each other and his face began heating up again.

He smells good too- WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. TO. ME. AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Winter pulled away from the embrace, his face burning and Qibli smiled, his eyes full of amusement. "How could you do anything without me???? You must have been miserableeee," said Qibli not noticing Winter's blush and plonking himself on their bed. Winter scowled, trying to cover up his blushing face. "Actually... I was," he admitted.

Qibli POV

Qibli froze, his gaze fixated on Winter's not-very-discreet blush. He chuckled to himself.

Hehe...Of course he missed me...WAIT A SEC. HE MISSED ME?????

"Kay, soooo... Whatcha wanna do?" asked Qibli. "It's 6 pm what the heck do you want to do at THIS HOUR?" snapped Winter, returning to his grumpy state. "I have some ideas~" smirked Qibli walking toward Winter, who was clearly freaked out. Qibli pinned his "best friend" against the wall and violently started tickling the crap out of him. (GOTCHAAAAAA I HAD TO AHAHAHAHHAHAHA) Qibli was the only one who knew Winter was ticklish, and he just HAD to tickle the handsome teen in front of him.

No. I'm not gonna deny it. I like Winter. Buuuuut I'll tell him laterrrrr (pRoCrAsTiNAtIoN, aNd CeLeBrAtiON)

Winter tried to hold back laughs and failed miserably. Qibli loved it when WInter was happy. It made his day. Winter was normally really grumpy or tired.

Seeing him laugh was AWESOME. It made him look... Cute?

"You should smile more, it looks good on you," he complimented WInter, causing him to smile even more. Qibli giggled and stepped back to see what a mess he made of Winter. At least he looks happy. Qibli's stomach then growled SUPER LOUDLY, making them laugh.

"OMG! I GOT SNACKSSSSS" he squealed. He ran over to his bag and pulled out a bunch of stuff that he got from home. Winter gaped at him. "How did you manage to do that?" he asked, clearly impressed. "I dunno," replied Qibli, more focused on the snacks than what Winter said. "Last year I tried to sneak in some Oreos and they THREW THE WHOLE THING OUT!" said Winter. "It was a family pack tooooooo," he complained. "Noo, they DID NOT," said Qibli in a shocked voice.

"And-" started Winter, only to be interrupted by Qibli. "LEMME EAT MY SHNACKS WINTOR >:0" "OKAY, OKAY! Gosh!" said Winter, raising his hands. Qibli quickly ate a few packets of chips and offered Winter some. "Hey Icecube! Want some?" he called to Winter, who was standing awkwardly behind him, watching him eat. Winter shook his head. "Nah. I'm not that hungry..." "Does it occur to you, that you've only eaten ONCE this WHOLE DAY?" asked Qibli in disbelief. "I don't have the biggest appetite..." replied Winter quietly. Qibli nodded and flopped onto the bed once again. This time Winter joined him and sat awkwardly on the edge before Qibli pulled him to lie down in boredom next to him.

Winter POV

The evening went by fast, and soon it was 9 pm.

"Ughhhhhh. We have classes tomorrow," sighed Winter, not wanting tomorrow to come. "I swear," replied Qibli. Qibli went to the bathroom to get changed into his night clothes. Winter waited impatiently until Qibli walked out in an adorable night suit. It was black and had small cacti printed all over. He strutted out of the bathroom like a model and posed. "Don't ask. Thorn bought this for me a few years ago, and it was a bit toooo big..." he said sheepishly. Winter snorted and went to change himself. He didn't exactly have a nightsuit, so he wore an oversized t-shirt which he bought a few months ago, and some loose, comfy pants. He walked out after brushing his teeth with 6+ Barbie toothpaste which one of his aunts got him because he couldn't handle the regular toothpaste. It's too spicy! He walked out, not exactly feeling sleepy, but not NOT sleepy. He pulled a blanket over his head and opened Wattpad.

Qibli was really getting to him. He decided to try out this "Fire of Wings" thing. Or was it "Wings of Fire"? He couldn't tell. Qibli usually slept a lot, so he switched off the lights. It was around 9:45, and Winter didn't even REMOTELY want to sleep. He started the first book and reached Chapter 4, before wanting to read something else. His eyes were drooping slightly, and he tried to not fall asleep. He was almost asleep when he felt an arm wrap around his waist. His eyes flew open.

Is he awake?

He turned slightly to see Qibli fast asleep, clinging to Winter like he was a stuffed toy or something.

That. Is. So. Adorable. Help.

He smiled at Qibli and turned to go back to sleep.
