Day 3 - Injuries
Sometimes injuries were small, but sometimes they were big. Sometimes they were meaningless; just being a little reminder to not be reckless. But sometimes they were hurtful; hurtful on the inside and outside, for no reason at all...
Sometimes you just felt sad, whether it be an injury or not.
When feelings are bottled up inside you, they build up higher and higher till they lose their foundation and collapse.
And when it collapses, it breaks.
And when it finally broke, Setsuna broke too.
Sat with her legs crossed against her chest, tears welled out of her eyes with a tissue box next to her; soon about to be completely empty. She sat with her back against the frame of her bed, sniffling helplessly.
The others were asleep by now, and she worried that her bawls would wake them up.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She wiped her nose with her periwinkle shirt sleeve and looked at the screen.
Manga was calling. How unusual...
She pressed the answer button.
"Manga?" She said, putting on her best I-just-woke-up voice. "What's up?"
"Hey, Setsuna," he replied, "how are you?"
Setsuna paused for a few seconds, before answering with; "good. Tired, but good. You?"
"I'm doing alright, I guess."
"It's pretty random that you called me, especially at this time. Are you sure everything is okay for you?"
"Yeah, I'm sure." There was a pause at the other end of the line, "are you sure that you're just 'good?'"
"Yeah, that I'm sure of."
"Good."
And then there was a deathly silence that got to all.
"Well, um... goodnight!"
"Yeah, night! Sweet dreams!"
The call was ended.
Setsuna switched off her phone and collapsed face first onto her bed, hugging her pillow...
Someone cared.
About her.
Maybe she was just making a big deal out of it, but she felt a warm reassurance. Someone she barely spoke to, actually took their own time into asking if she was okay. She barely spoke with him. Barely...
She smiled to herself, and put in a mental note to do the same for him.
And after her long episode of feeling unwanted and empty, she fell asleep, knowing that someone really did care.

Yes, I know this wasn't a literal interaction, but I put in some thinking about how an actual relationship would kick off, y'know?
I just figured that if he made her feel happy, that would make her notice him more.
Or maybe I just overthink things...?
Yeah, I like this fanart and all, but...
Why isn’t her jacket zipped up?! Why don’t she have gloves?!
Girl, it’s freaking snowing!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I tried to make this one wholesome, but I don’t know if I did a very good job, but anyways...
I also semi-managed to make this one a bit longer because of how short the other ones were, so... yeah.
Anyway, I really hope you all enjoy this, and feedback is always appreciated!

Day 6 - Free Day
“But going back to what I was saying earlier,” Melissa took a big gulp of her hot chocolate, “ when rain falls down from the clouds, it freezes due to the very cold temperature, given that it’s winter.”
“Huh...” Nejire also took a sip of her drink, “I guess you really do learn something new everyday.”
With the trigger of the cliché bell ding, the café doors opened for a new customer, and a chilling block of air wafted towards Melissa and Nejire, the both of them shivering in response.
“I’m not really used to this cold,” said Melissa, “it never snowed at I-Island.”
“Bummer.” Replied Nejire.
“Bummer?” Melissa perked up, “how?”
Nejire took another delightful sip of her beverage. “Well, for starters,” she began, “you can build a snowarmy.”
“A snowarmy?” Repeated Melissa, “don’t you mean a snowman?”
“No, a snowarmy.” Nejire took another sip, “they’re good company to have around, and are very handy in snowball fights.”
“How so?”
“They can be used as barriers,” explained Nejire, “and also as good suppliers.”
Melissa became hesitant, “please don’t tell that I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”
“Hm? How? Anyway, you can take a good chunk of snow out of them whenever you run out of the snow around you.”
“But they’re protecting you! Don’t you think that’s unfair for them?”
“It’s called a snowarmy for a reason. Every soldier dies while fighting for their country, or in this case, their ruler: me.” Nejire drained the rest of her drink, “I would go on with the list, but I think you get the point I’m trying to make.”
Melissa nodded, also finishing her drink. “That conversation we just had didn’t make sense at all.”
“It only doesn’t make sense to you, because you didn’t choose to understand.”
“Right...” Melissa started to zip on her jacket, “I don’t think that’s how it works, but okay.” Melissa and Nejire both made their way out of the café, the snow outside was falling ever-so-slowly.
“Oh, and another thing.”
Melissa looked at Nejire, “yeah? About what?”
“Y’know, the cool things about snow? Well, it isn’t really about snow, but about winter in general.”
“Go on...”
“Well, if your hands ever get cold, you can always hold someone’s hand to warm them.” Nejire took Melissa’s hand in hers.”Or in other words, I just gave myself an invitation to hold yours.”
Melissa smiled, “invitation? Who said anything about you needing an invitation to hold my hand?” Melissa gripped Nejire’s hand affectionately, “you’re always welcome to hold my hand, Neji.”
