Isn't the snow beautiful ? Well, isn't it even prettier, when it's the same color as his hair ?

The winter was already here at Jujutsu High, the cold breeze brushing your cheeks the second you would step outside, the frozen trees covered in Christmas decorations surrounding the place, giving a chill yet nostalgic feeling.
Everyone's a bit sceptic about winter. Alright it's pretty, and it's the whole holiday mood and all ; but it's always the same damn things that happened at this time.. at least for you : having a cold and staying in bed all fucking day without even enjoying the Christmas spirit.. Plus, there's not snow yet, so what's a good winter without snow ? Well, it's not a good winter.
You were making yourself some noodles to heat yourself in the freezing common room, confident about beating the fuck out of the flu like some kind of video game.
"God, why didn't they buy a fucking heater already ?"
You mumble through your hoodie that you definitely didn't steal to a white haired and purple eyes boy, with a scowl and pouting expression on your face.
You finished plating your noodles, carefully, aesthetically pleasing. You huff proudly, sitting on a table to devour this shit. Your stomach growled loudly at the sight, and you were about to dive in when-
"Salmon roe ?"
You freeze mid-bite. Fuck, why did he have to come when you were eating a whole lot of carbs, not make-up on, hair all messy and-
WEARING HIS HOODIE ??!
You immediately turn your face, met with a curious looking Toge Inumaki really reaaaally close to your face.
You choke on your food and he looked almost little worried (how cute he is) and tapped gently on your back. When he gave you some water and you stopped to choke, Toge just noticed the hoodie you were wearing, and you noticed that he noticed, so you just stared in the void in pure embarrassment. What could fucking be worse than succeeding three really embarrassing moments, in front of your.. friend ? Crush ? Flirt ? You don't even know.
He chuckled.
He actually chuckled over the fact that you took his hoodie.
Oh gosh.
That was too embarrassing.
You immediately shot your eyes up to him, face burning hot despite the room temperature. It definitely felt too hot in the room here, did they finally buy a goddamn heater ?
"W-why are you laughing ?"
You tried, really tried not to stare into his purple eyes, but you couldn't help yourself ! They were just so.. captivating. You didn't know why, but the more you looked at them, the less you wanted to break the eye contact.
He shrugged his shoulders at your question with a soft smile. He pointed at your plate, then at his open mouth, asking a taste.
You hesitate at first, but his cute soft eyes made you give in. Plus, it's not the first time you both shared something, you were literally in his hoodie. You placed the plate between the two of you and you both eat in silence, like always. That's what you liked but disliked at the same time with Toge.
You liked it because you love a calm, silent environment, his presence could fill every. void anyway.
You disliked it, because you couldn't really talk with him, thanks to his cursed speech. But you lived with it and learned how to communicate, so it does it. And talking only with rice balls ingredients really adds something for him.
When you both finished the food, you slowly turn to look at him, but he was already staring. Your eyes met for one second before you both turned your head on the opposite way. You wanted to take the plate to clean it, but it turns out he also wanted to, so your hands touched each other's, electric.
You both freeze and look back at each other.
It's like the world stopped, the only matter at the moment was the other. Your eyes were drowned in his, some of his white soft-looking hair brushing on his forehead. But-
"Haiii ! It should be snowing soon guys ! I'm so ready for snow fight !"
"Quit screaming for God's sake, I don't want a headache, ruins my outfit.."
It was like Yuji and Nobara threw a bucket full of ice and water, and you just noticed how really close you and Toge had been. You pull back immediately, cheeks flushed, walking fast to the sink and put the plate in it. You come back, and you couldn't even look at him.
Yuji, the oblivious he is, didn't notice the sweet moment he just broke, still smiling and rambling about the snow.
But Nobara, being a girl, could feel it. She gave you a knowing look, one that said "we are so gonna talk about this later".
-----
An hour or two later, the snow had finally settled in, leaving just a white drape covering the whole school. It was although sunny, so everyone was rushing to slip in their outdoor snowy-weather outfit to finally enjoy the snow !
There was no one that stayed inside : Gojo-sensei and Yuji were laughing really loudly while dodging and throwing snowballs at each other, Nobara was taking cute pictures of her in the snow, even Megumi was kneel down nearby, trying in vain to create a snowman.
Where was he ?
You wanted to be in a quieter spot, without anyone, so you opted for one you knew behind the school.
It was beautiful : it was right on the little cliff, the white texture of the snow still fresh from the lack of person here, a wood bench placed carefully face to face with the beautiful view of the forest and the town far away, white from the cold.
You kneel down and admire the view, smiling at yourself from the comfort and peace this place could give you. That's when you heard some noises behind you. Steps that you could recognize even in a crowd.
Toge stood still beside you, looking at the landscape you seemed to admire. He didn't say a word, his hands in his pockets.
He then kneel down to match your pose and looks at you. At first, you tried to ignore it, thinking he was just looking at something behind you. But you could feel his stare burning on you, so you slowly turn your head towards him.
For a second, you both stare at each other, the view now forgotten. The silence between you was comforting at first, but it quickly became awkward with how you were looking at each other. So you looked down and started fidgeting with the snow, modeling and quite playing with it.
You eventually got yourself in it, using now both your hands, trying to form something concrete. You are not really good with your hands, a little pout forming on your face at how difficult it seemed to just make a little fucking snowman.
Toge watched all through it, and he smiled at seeing your form struggling so much. So what he did, he moved to place himself properly in front of you, and he helped you with the snow.
You both modeled the snow in silence, the awkwardness now far forgotten. Your hands eventually brushed his, and you both look up at the same time right after. And when your soft smile creeps on your face ?
He blushed.
He blushed, but didn't really hide it. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe he was feeling hot, you don't know. He then smiles back at you, reaching his beautiful purple eyes.
Then, after some time of work, you eventually managed to create a beautiful snowman. It was way bigger than you expected it to be, it almost reached the height of your neck, but you felt proud anyway.
"It looks soooo good !!"
"Tun—"
You squeal and jump excitedly, and without even thinking you take him in a tight embrace, arms wrapped around his neck. He answers your hug with his arms wrapping around your waist, and you immediately realize that you're literally the one that hugged him. But feeling him reciprocate made you feel secure and so you didn't leave.
You eventually pulled back, blush creeping on both of your faces.
Both of you looked at the snowman, and you suddenly got an idea. You take his hand and place him just beside the lifeless form.
"Stand here, I've got a surprise !"
With a confused look, he lets you do so, watching your figure as you seem to draw something on the snowman, each little moment looking at his face like you're analyzing something.
Finally you pull back, wiping fake sweat on your forehead and raising a thumbs up at him.
"You like it ?"
He looks at the snowman, and he melts. You literally arranged the snow on its head to look like his hair, and drew a smile on its face, but not a normal smile. Its mouth had the same mark he has from his hereditary curse, two little circles on his lower cheek connected to his mouth by a line, just like a snake.
"Salmon."
He stared at it, and tentatively took your hand to hold it. You thought it would stop just then, but no. He leans his head a little, holding up your hand, and he kiss the back of it, without looking away from your art. You smile, heat going down your neck.
"Glad you like it, Toge"
And when he looked at you, you couldn't help it. Each time your eyes would meet, you feel like you can't think. It's not your fault, you think, it's his. So yeah, you cup his cheeks in your hands.
He looked at you with those doe eyes you keep falling for, looking at your lips then back at your eyes, all confused and curious and flustered, his cheeks warm.
You slowly pull down his turtleneck, smiling softly, tracing the side of his jaw slowly. You lean just a little, to test the waters, to ask for permission, and when he doesn't pull back, you close the distance between your lips.
He immediately answers, shy and tentative at first, cupping your cheeks like you're the most precious thing in the world. Which you are, in his eyes.
His kiss was sweet, tender, almost fragile. His hands shaking on your cheeks, almost scared to touch you, yet desperate to feel more of you. You reassure him by putting them on your waist, and he sigh at your gesture.
Little snowflakes began to fall, landing in your hair. You both pull away, looking at each other like if you look away, one of you would disappear.
You both sit on the bench, not really caring about the snow that would stay on you. He wraps his arm around you by the side, and your head linger on his shoulder, and you both look ahead the falling snowflakes.
Isn't the snow beautiful ? Well, isn't it even prettier, when it's the same color as his hair ?
And with that, you know this moment is one of the greatest memories you have, if not the best.

But not without a little snowball fight. (which you win, of course, he can't let you lose)
