“Hanbee, the snow is up to my waist,” Suzuya complains. Tokyo hasn’t gotten snow like this since, well, forever.
“Do you want me to carry you?” Hanbee knows the answer before he even asks.
“Yes!” Suzuya smiles mischievously. As soon as Hanbee lifts him, he topples them both into the fluffy powder.
“Snow angels!” Suzuya moves his arms, but the snow is too thick. It falls atop him.
“Suzuya!” Hanbee gasps, digging out his giggling leader.
“Let’s make a snowman! Please?” Suzuya gives Hanbee his saddest eyes.
Hanbee smiles, warm despite the snow. Suzuya has special faces he only makes for Hanbee, and Hanbee treasures every one.
Hanbee rolls a snowball larger and larger. Soon the snowman is as tall as he. Suzuya even parts with his candy to give it eyes and a mouth. “Let’s name it Suzuhan.”
“I like it.” Hanbee blushes, and Suzuya tackles him to warm his mouth with a kiss.
When Suzuya and Hanbee enter their Squad apartment, soaking wet and shivering yet flushed, Keijin Nakarai just shakes his head.
