[Team Three] Down the Snowy Mountain

My ending words would have been perfect to continue the ice cream AU, but then it didn't work out right. So I switched gears and now you get a Yabu and Hikaru skiing (mis)adventure!


“So what flavor of ice cream do you want?”

“Seriously?” Yabu complained, giving Hikaru the most skeptical look he could through his goggles. “We’re freezing to death and you’re offering me ice cream?”

Hikaru laughed and the ski lift chair they were sitting in swung precariously a bit from side to side as it continued its ascent up the mountain. “It’s a reward. If you make it down the mountain intact, I’ll buy you ice cream. You can’t turn down free food.”

“I can if the food is the same temperature of the icicles hanging from my nose,” Yabu replied. “I should have just stayed in the lodge with Inoo and Daiki.”

“Why are you so grumpy?” Hikaru asked. He took a moment to readjust his toboggan down a bit to make sure it was covering his ears from the chill of the wind. They were getting closer to the top.

Yabu looked down at the people skiing and snowboarding the snowy mountain trail below. “Because I’m going to end up like that guy,” he said, pointing to a person who had fallen down, lost his skis, and was currently sliding towards the bottom on his butt. “I wish they hadn’t been out of snowboards when we rented this stuff,” he continued. The thin skis attached to his feet looked heavier than they should be.

“I’ll make sure you’ll be fine. It’s like snowboarding except you have two boards instead of one.” Hikaru grinned and then grabbed Yabu’s wrist. “Keep your skis up. We’re about to get off the lift.”

“How about we stay on and just ride back down?”

“No,” Hikaru answered. The attendant at the top of the mountain expertly popped open the latch of the chair, and once they were both free, Hikaru pulled Yabu’s arm to help keep him steady as they jumped off. They both flew forward a little ways before Yabu lost his balance from the momentum and toppled face first into the snow.

“Leave me here to die,” Yabu declared in overdramatic fashion.

Hikaru shrugged. “More ice cream for me then.” He turned and pointed his snowboard down the mountain and pretended like he was actually going to leave.

“Wait!” Yabu called out, and Hikaru looked over his shoulder to see Yabu still pretending to be overdramatic as he lay tangled up in his ski equipment in the snow. “Tell Inoo…” he began slowly with his hand stretched out, “…that I…” he took a deep breath like he was trying to cling to life, “…am never going to pay back the 1000 yen I owe him.”

Hikaru snorted. “Get up, you dork.” He grabbed the outstretched hand, pulling Yabu back up and then brushed off some snow from his shoulders and back. He kept his hand firmly attached to Yabu’s wrist to keep him steady as they finally started down the trail.

Once Yabu seemed to get the hang of it, Hikaru let go but continued to keep his speed slow enough to stay with him. This wasn’t a difficult slope so they probably wouldn’t have any problems if Yabu managed to not fall again.

“What if we’re attacked by wild animals out here?” Yabu jokingly asked, glancing at the trees that lined the trail.

“What kind of wild animals are you expecting?”

“Oh you know,” Yabu shrugged. “Bears, raccoons, evil possessed rabbits, maybe some birds.”

“What was that about rabbits?”

“I saw a movie once. I… don’t want to talk about it.” Yabu shuddered but it was hard to pick out the motion beneath all the heavy snow gear he was wearing.

Hikaru just laughed again. He was enjoying this. Just getting to spend time with Yabu outside of magazine shoots and dance practices and all the other work they had to do. They spent the rest of the trek down the slope chatting about how nice the trees looked covered with a dusting of powdery snow and how bright the sun was reflecting off of everything and just appreciating the quietness of the moment even as they were surrounded by other people skiing and snowboarding their way down the mountain.

Things were going well actually until they finally reached the bottom and the ski lodge came back into view.

“Hey Hika?” Yabu began. “I don’t remember how to stop.” He was picking up speed and heading straight for the lodge entrance.

“Just fall down,” Hikaru called out after him, not able to catch up in time to grab him.

Yabu followed his suggestion and dove into the snow again right as he reached the row of skis and snowboards propped up by the door. It was like watching a stack of dominos as each one fell over once Yabu collided with the first one.

“Oops?” Yabu said. He unhooked his skis from his boots and managed to get back up without assistance. “Let’s leave before anyone notices I did that.”

Hikaru left his snowboard behind in the pile of wreckage and gestured towards the entrance to the lodge. “I think you deserve two scoops of ice cream for making it down the mountain without breaking your leg.”

“No ice cream!” Yabu demanded as he grabbed Hikaru by the arm and dragged him inside. “Buy me something warm. Like soup.” Hikaru just smiled and went along with Yabu as he continued talking.

“And then I say we spend the rest of the afternoon drinking hot chocolate and sitting by the fire.”
