first snow for the GHD prompts? We've got an inch here and I'm on my 3rd cup of hot tea lol
You’ve got snow??? So lucky!!! I’ve never seen it in real life!!!
“I get the feeling,” says Locke, when he looks up and finds Blue shuffling his feet in the open doorway to the kitchen. “That you have done something bad?”
“Nope,” says Blue. “Not bad.”
“But you’ve done something.”
“Maaaybe.”
“You are a menace,” says Locke, unfolding himself from the chair where he’d been drawing. “But you have me interested all the same.” He shoves out his hand. “Show me what you’ve done.”
Blue grabs hold of Locke’s hand, tangling their fingers together, and starts heading for the front door. He’s snickering before they even make it halfway through the living room, and full out chuckling by the time they step outside.
A sharp, cold wind cuts into them. It’s late enough in the evening that the sky has turned into a mess of cotton candy hues, and the first soft white layer of snow has fallen sometime between lunch and now.
Blue has somehow managed to scrape up enough of the powdery mess to build what can only be described as an army of miniature snowmen on their front lawn. He’s even gotten together bark and twigs to make little swords and shields.
Proudly, he announces, “I’m going to make them march all the way to the end’a town.”
“How long did this take you?” Locke carefully walks through the maze of miniature knights.
Blue just looks even more pleased with himself. He asks, “wanna help me finish making them?”
Locke worries at his lower lip. He should go in and start dinner, but Blue’s looking at him all big eyed and crooked smile, and Locke knows that there’s a little tin of left over pasta and chicken on the back shelf of the fridge so...he nods, and Blue grins even bigger, and it snows soft and cold around them.
(by the time the sun sets, a thoroughly baffled Razzle is waking up at his sentry station only to find himself absolutely surrounded by tiny little snow-knights. it’s the most fun Lock’es had in weeks.)
