The snow day ❄️
Kyle Broflovski x Reader
The moment stretched between you and Kyle.
Neither of you seemed to know what to do next.
The confession hung in the air, awkward and terrifying and strangely nice all at once.
Kyle rubbed the back of his neck.
"So... that probably sounded really stupid."
"It didn't."
"It kind of did."
"It really didn't."
Kyle stared at the table.
"Okay, maybe only a little."
You laughed.
The tension immediately eased.
"Only a little."
"Wow. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Kyle rolled his eyes, but he was smiling.
The smile lingered longer than usual.
You found yourself smiling too.
---
A loud crash echoed from upstairs.
Both of you jumped.
"What was that?" you asked.
Kyle sighed.
"Ike."
Another crash.
Then laughter.
"Definitely Ike."
You heard Sheila's voice from somewhere in the house.
"IKELAH! GET OFF THE DRESSER!"
More laughter.
Kyle buried his face in his hands.
"I love my brother."
The pause that followed was significant.
"But sometimes..."
Another crash.
"...sometimes I understand why people become hermits."
You nearly choked on your cookie.
Kyle grinned.
"See? You get it."
---
The afternoon passed surprisingly fast.
You worked on homework.
Talked about school.
Talked about movies.
Talked about random nonsense.
At one point, Kyle launched into a ten-minute rant about something Cartman had done earlier that week.
"He tried convincing Butters that clouds were government spies."
You blinked.
"What?"
"I know."
"What?"
"I KNOW."
"And Butters believed him?"
Kyle pointed dramatically.
"Exactly."
The two of you dissolved into laughter.
It was easy.
Being around Kyle always felt easy.
Even when he was arguing.
Even when he was ranting.
Even when he was being completely ridiculous.
Especially then.
---
By the time evening arrived, it was getting dark outside.
The snow was falling harder now.
Streetlights cast warm golden circles onto the white streets.
Kyle walked you to your front door.
Neither of you seemed eager for the conversation to end.
"So."
"So."
Kyle groaned.
"We really need to stop doing that."
"What?"
"The 'so' thing."
You laughed.
"Sorry."
The two of you stood on the porch for another moment.
Snowflakes drifted through the air between you.
Kyle shoved his hands into his jacket pockets.
"Today was fun."
"Yeah."
"Even the snowball war."
"I think especially the snowball war."
Kyle snorted.
"Cartman got hit directly in the face."
"It was beautiful."
"It really was."
You both started laughing again.
---
Eventually the laughter faded.
A comfortable silence settled over you.
Kyle looked at you.
You looked back.
The porch light reflected in his green eyes.
For once, neither of you seemed interested in making a joke.
Or changing the subject.
Or pretending not to feel what you felt.
Kyle took a small step closer.
Not enough to be dramatic.
Just enough to matter.
"I meant what I said earlier."
Your heart skipped.
"What part?"
Kyle swallowed.
Then smiled nervously.
"The part about liking you."
Heat rushed to your face.
"Oh."
"Yeah."
He looked suddenly worried.
"You don't have to say anything back if you don't want to."
He was nervous.
Really nervous.
And somehow that made him even more adorable.
You smiled.
"I like you too."
Kyle froze.
For a second, he looked like his brain had completely stopped working.
"Wait."
"Wait?"
"Seriously?"
You laughed.
"Seriously."
A grin spread across his face.
A huge one.
The kind that was impossible to hide.
The kind that made you smile automatically.
"Wow."
"Wow?"
"Sorry."
Kyle shook his head.
"I just didn't expect that."
---
For a while, neither of you said much.
You simply stood there while snow drifted around you.
The world felt strangely quiet.
Peaceful.
No monsters.
No disasters.No Cartman screaming somewhere in the distance.Just the two of you.A rare miracle in South Park.Eventually Kyle laughed softly.
"You know Cartman's gonna be unbearable if he finds out."
"Oh, absolutely."
"He'll never shut up."
"Not for the rest of our lives."
Kyle groaned.
"Great."
"Maybe we should never tell him."
"I support that plan completely."
---
As Kyle finally started walking home, he stopped at the end of the driveway.
He turned around.
"Hey."
"Yeah?"
A smile tugged at his lips.
"See you tomorrow?"
You smiled back.
"Definitely."
Kyle waved.
Then headed off through the falling snow.For the first time all day, the cold didn't seem to bother you.Because tomorrow couldn't come fast enough. ❄️💚
