Summary: Snow fell overnight, coating the ground. What are the Sides planning to do?
A/N: This is a Secret Santa for someone (I don't know their Tumblr or I would tag them ;-;). It's short but sweet. Few days late, hopefully y'all like it?
"Virgil! Wake up wake up wake UP!"
Virgil opened his eyes to see an excited Roman bouncing on his bed.
He threw an arm across his face. "What's up, Princey?"
"There's snow on the ground! Like, a lot! Come see out the window!"
Roman dragged him to the window, pointing. Indeed, there was snow. It looked like a fluffy blanket covering the ground.
"Yeah, there's snow. It's pretty, I'll admit that. So what?" Virgil said, turning to head back to bed.
Roman put a hand over his heart. "So what?! We can go out and play in it! Make snow angels, build an igloo,,, We could even ambush Logan with ice down his back!"
Virgil laughed at that. "I suppose we can do that. Just let me wake up first. Are Patton and Logan out there already?" He started making his way to the kitchen.
Roman nodded. "Janus and Remus too! Everyone's all geared up! Just get out there fast, Logan and Remus were plotting something, I think."
Coffee was brewed, snow gear was put on. Virgil and Roman made their way outside, treading through the knee-deep snow.
Virgil looked around, seeing Remus making snow angels with Patton. Roman ran to go join them, flopping down on the snow and laughing.
"Hey Patton," he shouted, "Where are Janus and Logan?"
Patton shook snow off of his hat and pointed to the roof, where Logan and Janus were stringing up lights.
Virgil smirked, getting an idea.
~~~~~~~~
Janus glanced down, keeping his feet light so he didn't fall. He set down the hammer and nails, peering closer. He noticed Virgil way in the back, doing,,, something. He shook his head, going back to the task at hand.
"Hey, Janus?"
"Yes?"
He turned, just in time to see a snowball promptly hit Logan in the face.
Time seemed to slow as he did a 180 and met Virgil's eyes, another snowball aiming his way.
He screeched as it hit him in the chest, falling backwards off of the roof, snow cushioning his landing.
He lay mostly still, only moving his hands.
~~~~~~~~
Everyone stared in horror as Janus fell off the roof, not moving.
Virgil rushed over, nearly hyperventilating.
"Oh my God! Janus, are you-"
Two hunks of snow hit him on the head.
He looked up, seeing Logan smirking from the roof.
"Payback time."
"SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!"
Remus and Roman came charging through the snow at Patton and Virgil, throwing snowballs every which way.
Remus tackled Virgil, pummeling him in the face with snow, while Roman attacked Patton.
Roman suddenly felt snow shoved down the back of his coat, screeching at the cold. He turned and saw Janus cackling, tears in his eyes, holding his stomach. Roman watched as Logan sneaked up behind him, two hands full of packed snow.
Logan made a "Shh" motion with a hand and Roman nodded, eyes trained on Janus' face.
~~~~~~~
Janus was having the time of his life. He had tears running down his face, treasuring the reaction he got. His face!!
Snow was slammed on his head, getting in his eyes. He turned and saw Logan bolting away.
"You'll pay for this! You owe me Crofters for the next month!" He yelled.
He turned just in time to see Patton sneak-attack Virgil, hitting him with what looked like seven snowballs.
Virgil turned and hissed, shaking the snow off of his body. Patton simply smiled, hiding his hands behind his back. "What's up, Virgil?" he giggled.
Virgil playfully glared at him, slowly backing up. "You know what's up, Dad guy. You know what's up,,,"
~~~~~~~~
Nearly two hours later, the boys tumbled inside, yeeting off their snow gear. Janus and Patton made their way to the kitchen.
The rest all got blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals and piled into the living room. Roman instantly popped Frozen into the DVD player.
As the movie started, Patton came in with a tray of hot cocoa, handing everyone their cup.
"Virgil with whipped cream, Logan with marshmallow fluff, Remus with extra chocolate and mini marshmallows, Roman with peppermint and whipped cream, Janus with cinnamon sticks, and me with a giant marshmallow!"
Janus trailed behind, carefully carrying a big bowl of popcorn, buttered and salted to perfection.
Everyone got fully situated with the popcorn in the middle, cuddling, watching, snacking, and talking to their heart's content.
The snow softly fell outside, covering the tracks of the boys.
