~(Y/n)'s POV~

I wake up in my room and stretch. I quickly get up and get dressed for the day ahead. My eyes found their way to the window and all I saw was white. "No way!" I open the door to the balcony and see snow everywhere. My smile kept growing and growing as I watched snowflakes dance across the sky and land gently on the ground. I storm out of my room and down the hallways of the palace. "Hey, (Y/n)!" Prompto yelled as I passed him. "No talk. Snowing outside!" I shout quickly and turn a corner. I almost ran into Ignis but moved out of the way quickly. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" He asked. "Outside!" I shout and continue to run.

I ran into the garden and stared up at the sky. It was a tint of gray that wasn't too dreary. I picked up some snow and threw it up into the air. I felt something cold hit my back and I heard laughing. Noctis was standing behind me with a snowball in his hand. I grin and form a snowball. I toss it and it smacks him right in the face. I started to laugh so hard, my sides were starting to hurt. Another snowball came out of nowhere and landed in the prince's hair. He glared in the direction it came from. I saw familiar blonde hair poking up from behind a bush and I made another snowball. It landed right on Prompto's head and he screamed. "Cold cold cold!!!" He ran around and tried to get the snow out of his hair. Prompto ended up tripping over a small mound of snow and fell face first into the snow. I flinch as if I could feel the coldness of the snow that he was feeling.

The door to the garden opens and I saw Ignis and Gladio together. Noctis and I exchanged glances and nodded. Noctis threw a snowball at Ignis while I threw one at Gladio. Ignis dodged the snowball but Glaido wasn't so lucky. It hit him right on the chest and I could tell it was cold. He grit his teeth as he quickly swept the snow off his chest. "That's what you get for spending the whole year half naked," I grin at him. His eyes meet mine and a scary grin appears on his face. I swallow hard and drop the snowball that was in my hand. "You better run, (Y/n)," Noctis whispered to me. "Way ahead of you!" I charged off with Gladio in tow. "You can't run from me, (Y/n)!" He yells behind me playfully. I was running out of room to run until an idea popped into my mind. I ran to the frozen pond and tapped my foot on the icy surface. "Good enough!"

Gladio was about to grab me but I stepped onto the pond's surface. I used my balance and began ice skating away. "Bye bye!" I wave at him and grin. His shocked expression makes me laugh as I skate in the middle of the pond. "Woah! How long have you known to ice skate?" Prompto asked. "Since I was six," I reply. I spun a couple of times and landed on one foot. I heard everyone gasp as I performed for them. After a small routine, I bowed and they all clapped. "Thank you!" I shout with a hand in the air. I skate back over to them and smile. "I'm glad I could make you all smile today," I say and put my hands on my hips. "Just because you performed for us doesn't mean I forgot," Gladio grinned. I tilt my head in confusion and remember what happened minutes before I started ice skating. "Uh oh..." I immediately turn around but Gladio catches before I could skate off again.

"Hey!" I shout at him. He throws me over his shoulder and walks away from the others. "Help me!" I yell at the other three. They just laugh and shake their heads. I sigh and pout at them. They all continued to laugh and ignore my plead. We were walking under a small oak tree and branches were covered in snow. "Hey, Gladio~" I tap his cheek. He hummed in response and I pulled on a branch. Snow  came tumbling down on us and it was enough for him to drop me. We both fall to the ground and get covered in snow. I pop my head through the snow and shake my head. "You are one crazy girl." Gladio mumbled as he popped his head through the snow next to me. I giggle and peck him on the cheek.

"And you're the one who fell for this crazy girl," I grin. He chuckled and smashed his lips against mine. Our body heat was so warm, we forgot about the snow surrounding us. I suddenly felt a cold sensation hit my back and shrieked. "Bullseye!" I heard Prompto cheer. Gladio makes a huge snowball and it knocks the blonde unconscious. "Now we can have some peace," he said. I laugh and climb onto his back. He stood up and held on to my legs. "Let's go to the training room. I could use a good round right about now," I say. Gladio nods and heads to the training room with me on his back. When the warm air of the palace hit me, I sighed in relief. "It's so warm in here." I wrap my arms around Gladio's neck and kiss his cheek.

"How about we head to my room instead?" Gladio grinned. I started to blush and nodded. He turned around and headed to his room without a second to think. We reached his room and I jumped off his back and onto his bed. I curled myself into a ball and hugged one of his pillows. "Mm... So warm..." I mumble into the pillow. Gladio sat on the edge of the bed and I hit him with the pillow. He grabbed the pillow and now was whacking me with it. A random idea pops into my head and I grab the pillow. "How about I make some tea?" I ask. "I could use something hot right about now," he responded. "I'll be right back." I jump off the bed and head to the kitchen. Chefs were preparing lunch as I readied some tea. "Would like some help, Lady
(Y/n)?" A chef asked. I shook my head and placed two cups of tea on a tray. "Thank you for the offer, but I see you're already busy at moment. I'll make sure not to stay for too long and get in your way." I pick up the tray and leave the smiling chef behind.

I arrived back at Gladio's room and opened the door. He was looking out the window at the winter wonderland outside and didn't hear me enter. I sat the tray down and tapped his shoulder. He turned around and smiled at me. I handed him a tea cup and he took a sip. "What kind of tea is this?" He asked in curiosity. "It's white tea. My mother taught me how to make it when I was little." I took the other tea cup and smelled the Camellia in it. It was a heavenly smell and had a relaxing taste. We sat in silence as we finished the white tea. "You make the best tea, (Y/n)." He handed me the cup with a smile. "Why, thank you." I placed the cups down and sat next to him on the bed. Gladio gently grabbed my hand and laced his fingers with mine. He kissed the top of my hand and I began to blush. I leaned against his shoulder and closed my eyes.

I was about to kiss him again until the door flew open. "There you are! We're about to have another snowball fight. Come on!" Prompto yelled and stormed off. Gladio and I sigh together and smile at each other. "I guess we'll have to wait a little longer," I grin. Gladio sighs again and I peck him on the nose. "C'mon, let's go!"
