They had spoke of meeting up here again to see the snow. Though Akira could not remember if it was for sure. Yet she wasn't about to miss the opportunity to see Yukari. She had given a bundle of special carrots for Comet and had noticed a snowflake fall there has been a few days here and there of icy slush but this was a fluttering fluffy cold snow flake. She she now found herself stepping up the stairs to the room she had took Yukari to when they first met smiling at herself of the memory.

Today she didn't have her riding clothing on. Finding black boots with slight heals click up the wooden steps which she had to wear her school uniform today but she cheated wearing white pants with gold lining to match the uniform top needless to say most of the teachers were not happy but they tolerated it slightly yet she did yet a slap on the wrist ( literally ) from her home room teacher.

Wearing a red scarf She sat down it was home made and made with a soft fluffy yarn. She had an extra one with a small ribbon bow.. she had a gift handy to give to any lucky girl , well thats what she told herself at least. She gripped it close as she started a small fire which quickly heated the room or attempted to at least. Sliding down to sit she thought if Yukari even remembered their conversation or if she would even come. What was Akira hoping for Yukari already had a love interest. The prince had even offered the girl advice to win over her roommate, had she ? where they going to go to the ball?

If not would Akira have a chance with Yukari ? should she tell Yukari to give the extra scarf as a gift to her roommate? Or ...Should feelings be told. This was stupid closing her eyes Akira sat back and waited as a few flakes fluttered in through the hole in the window .

A small silhouette appeared, framed in white at the door. Yukari peeked over her scarf at the whitenette inside. Of course she had remembered to meet her, it was hard to forget an invitation from a prince like Akira. She was sad, she still hadn't been noticed by her senpai. Didn't even exist. But Akira saw her. Here, she wasn't invisible. Her feelings for the beautiful Akumu were wavering in favor of the radiant, yet dangerous Prince before her.

Her heart was fluttering, she was nervous, anxious, extited too. She couldn't budge, legs frozen stiff with anticipation. It seemed like a very long time before she could speak. What should she say?

"Ano..." She said, poking her pointer fingers together through her mittens, feeling shy. Now she'd made a sound, those red eyes would look at her, and she wasn't sure if she was prepared for just how he mind and body would react to the Prince's gaze.

Opening one eye at first she peered over at the noise. Seeing a familiar figure she opened both eyes gazing at the cute sight of the raven haired girl playing with gloved hands. Standing she tried to hide her happyness in her voice she wanted come off cool " Yukari your here "

Walking to the girl she gripped the gift . Slowly she rose her hands taking off the small girls scarf that was already placed around her neck . Then undoing the ribbon she placed the home made one across the girls neck. " I know its early but happy holidays Yukari, and happy first snow."

Smiling at the girl she waiting had she over stepped again looking at Yukari's older scarf she wondered was it a gift ?

Her heart skipped a beat when Akira noticed her. She bit her lip and watched anxiously as the girl came close enough to remove her scarf, she smelled good, and when she replaced the scarf with the gift, it smelled good too. Yukari gently gripped the blue fabric as if to appreciate it even more.

"Thank you," she said, blushing brightly, "But...I didn't bring you anything." She felt bad but then looked at her scarf in Akira's hands. Even though the whitenette was already wearing a scarf, Yukari's pink one would be an okay gift right? It didn't really suit her though. She stepped closer, feeling herself warm up with the excitement of being near the other girl. She took the initiave to wrap the pink scarf around Akira, over her red one. "There, happy first snow." it felt good to smile at her, and she hoped she would like it. She turned to look back out at the falling snow outside. It made her smile, though she was extra conscious of the foot of distance between the two of them. Her heart was fluttering.

Akira was really tall and really handsome, and she was interested in her too. She was interesting and daring. Yukari was starting to feel dizzy.

"Ano..is it warm in here?" she asked nervously, moving deeper into the little room so she could remove her jacket, but left the scarf on of course. She wore thick white stockings with her lulim uniform, the pink skirt was ruffled underneath, and cast a short shadow over her thighs. She took off her mittens and then twisted her fingers. What now? She was so nervous!

Feeling the pink scarf touch her and the small hands of the young girl leave her shoulders only made her worries go away, she allowed the sweet send of the girl fill her which only confirmed her feeling.

They were but a foot away , it was as if a roaring fire was in the room yet there was barely a flame by now. Akira's hands gripped she wanted to hold the girl but she held back, sadly just in time for the young woman to leave , she watched as the other girl went farther into the room taking off her jacket asking nervously if it was warm.

As Akira answered she her self slipped her old scarf off leaving only the pink one to lay across her skin. " I would say it might be ..."

Getting close to the girl she couldn't help but lay her hands on the small shoulders " I could kill down the fire and we could cuddle like last time..."

It was only a whisper but already to late to take back , closing her eyes she turned away ' how stupid ' she thought .

Changing the subject after a quick nervous whisper of an apology she asked her next daunting question. " how is it going with your sempi Yukari ? "

She peered at the girl slowly letting a smile across her face though anyone could tell it was a bit faked even if she didn't mean it to be. She didn't want to hurt her friend after all.

She swayed slightly when the Spican touched her shoulders, wanting to be held, self concious that the Prince wanted to touch her. Then she brought up Akumu and Yukari's heart ached.

"It's gone no where, it's like I never see her. I don't exist..." She said sadly, a little embarrassed that she felt like that for someone who would never notice her. She looked into the fire, trying to build up the courage to continue, "S-so because, um, you said...ah..."

Her cheeks turned red and she turned to the prince looking as adorable as she did embarrassed, "um...since I ah....failed...then...would you um...." She looked down, poking her pointer fingers together, a blush on her cheeks, "You know there's the ball and I want to go so...I was wondering if...." She was so nervous, she was trying to ask a prince to a ball! She couldn't do it, study overwhelmed she covered her face with her hands and squeaked. She hoped Akira didn't think she was crazy, or better yet knew what she was trying to say. She was floundering terribly, but lucky for this damsel in distress, a prince was standing less than a foot away.

Was the young lady asking her to the ball? She thought for a moment she had noticed how sad the young girl was when she first spoke,
Akira new to well that she felt something for the girl, a little fear set in was she ready to commit to such feelings? Yet then she peered at the girl looking at her straight on, so sweet and caring and hiding?

Akira held a small chuckle back as she took a step forward placing her hands on Yukari's lifting them away from the raven haired girl's face. " You know.. if you hide your face you won't know my answer..."

It came out almost a whisper as she noded " I'd love to"

As she held the small cool hands of the girl she softly smiled looking into the girl's eyes, it was like time was slowing down. She didn't want anything more then to make this girl smile again. She pulled the petite girl into her arms her own head held to the girl's shoulders, she couldn't help it any longer to know this girl wanted to be noticed and wasnt even when she was so sweet. You can call it the dreamer side of Akira but that wasn't ok in any fairytale. " I will do nothing but notice you...Yukari"








Oc ( sorry for the bit of power play i hope your okay with it ... i just thought it was a chance for akira to get close , if not let me know i can change it before you reply also if i don't see you in chat want to go to the ball from this thread)

Her heart fluttered like a bird as Akira pulled her hands away and said something so cool. Yukari forgot her own name, completely star struck, and then she accepted! Her heart jumped up into her throat and like a rubber band her hands tried to snap back and cover her beat red face. But instead of being able to turn away and drown in her own excited embarrassment, she was pulled in, invited to drown in Akira's arms instead.

She wiggled a little, trying to hide in the Prince's chest, eyes shut tight. Then the Prince said something else, that she'd do nothing but notice her. Did everything this girl say sound like magic? Her heart couldn't take this much perfection! She squeaked, was she going to cry? She was just...So happy, relieved even.

Her arms, which had been pulled into her chest wrapped around the Prince and hugged her back, it felt good, vulnerable but safe and somehow intimate too. The whole world disappeared and Yukari's world was on fire, almost nothing would make her happier in that moment.

(I LOVED the powerplay it was perfect omg im fangirling so much, let's finish here and then go to the ball omg i love this pair my otp omgomgomg -flailing-)

She held the girl close letting Yukari's head find her chest. Her arms held around the girl, she didn't want to let go but slowly she did though she never really let go as her hands held the petite girl's waist. Her jewel colored eyes focused on the girl. " Where shall we meet or should i pick you up?"

She thought of how her fear could have gotten the best of her, she could have missed this moment all together. From this thought came one final one , she thanked her grandmother, she must be looking over her saying it was okay. Smiling Akira raised one hand, petting the raven haired girl she spoke once again. " How about we meet at 8 in front of the ball room and so you know its me i always wear a mask that goes down the face not across. "

As she said this she traced the back of her fingers down Yukari's right side of her face.
