"Oh-- oh man; that was crazy!"

Laughter. That's all that surrounded the two friends for quite a few minutes before they calmed down, glancing at each other with crazy-wide grins and shining eyes.

"Geeze, Blaze, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were drunk," the taller of the two commented through a couple more sparse giggles. "I know you love your new tattoo, but stripping in the middle of the bar?" He shook his head slightly.

Blaze just grinned and shrugged before striking a small pose, running his hand through his bright red hair. "Oh, you know you love looking at this, Naeem; don't deny it!"

Naeem let out a soft snort. "Maybe, but not everyone does. Proven by the fact that we were just chased out of there," he said, swinging his hand back behind them and pointing his thumb in the direction they had just come.

The redhead huffed, cheeks puffing out in exaggeration as he crossed his arms. "Their loss." A shiver racked his body before he started to slip back on his shirt and jacket that he had just been carrying throughout the run.

"So where'd we end up?" he asked after he was all bundled up, realizing they could see their breath; it was dark out and getting colder.

Naeem shrugged. "No clue. Somewhere in the park, we'll just have to walk around until we find the exit again."

A nod and they started moving off in a random direction, hoping it was the right one.

--

Twenty minutes later and they were still walking, not entirely sure where they were. It was cold and their feet were sore and they were both trying to keep from complaining but were nearing the snapping point.

Another few seconds of silence and Naeem made a small sound-- something between a whine and a groan-- and rubbed his face. "Where the hell are we?!" he complained, a small pout on his face as he pulled his hands away, gesticulating wildly. "We've been walking for a while and there hasn't bee--"

He blinked, cutting himself off as a drop of wetness landed on his hand. "...Snow?" he murmured, glancing up, all frustration forgotten. His eyes widened as another flake dropped onto his forehead, then nose, cheeks and more on his hands. "In Texas?"

Blaze froze for a second before a small grin stretched his lips and he started giggling. "Snow!" he said, glancing up then spun around.

A grin overtaking his own face, Naeem opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, trying to catch the flurries.

He looked back down after a while, wiping the melted snow from around his eyes and laughed at Blaze as he fell down. Offering a hand up and pulling the boy to his feet, he nodded in the way they had been walking just a minute ago.

"C'mon, let's find our way out," he said as the snow melted into his colored hair. "Then we can get hot cocoa and wait for the snow to pile up."

Grinning wider, Blaze nodded and started to tug Naeem along. This night just kept getting better and better! Maybe he could make some snow angels or a snowman before the snow started to melt again.

And once more only laughter and grins surrounded the two.
