Winter's Touches - Hong KongXReader

Leon shivered, pulling his robe closer around him while he squeezed his girlfriend's hand. She was bending over to look at a dying planet, frowning.  "It seems sad that winter kills everything it touches." (Y/N) said, standing back up and brushing a strand of (H/C) hair behind her ear.

Leon just shrugged and tugged on her hand again, dragging her along the frozen pathway. (Y/N) had been dating Leon for about a year now, and she was allowed to stay with him and his family for the holidays. He was taking her out the see the large family garden, since she had only ever seen it in Summer and Spring.

"Hmm? Where to next?" She asked, pulling the robe she borrowed from Mei around her closer as her teeth chattered. "Hopefully nothing dead." She commented, looking at her boyfriend as he shook his head.

Leon dragged (Y/N) farther back into the garden, around a large tree that was loosing it's leaves. (Y/N) had never had time to go that far in before, and looked around curiously.
"Leon, what are yo—"

"Shh." He said, shushing her. She closed her open mouth and nodded, giving him a baffled look as he took her farther back still. After a few minutes, he took her to a clearing where a beautiful koi pond was placed. Rocks and dead flowers lined the edge of the frozen water, and a layer of snow set atop it. (Y/N) blinked and Leon dropped her hand, walking over and crouching beside it. He stuffed a hand in the snow, beginning to brush it too. "(Y/N),.. Come here, I wanna, like,….. Show you something." He said, looking back to her.

She stepped forward and kneeled down next to him, putting her hand in the snow until she felt the ice. She followed his instruction and began to brush it away, until he put his hand on her's to stop.

"Now look."

(Y/N) looked down into the ice, where little orange and white fish swam around happily. Her mouth curved up into a smile and she squealed; they were so cute! She turned back to her boyfriend, who gave a rare grin. "The water's thawing. Here, like, put a hole in it—"

Leon reached over and picked up a small rock, tapping it against the frozen water until it cracked and created a fair sized-hole. (Y/N) grinned and kissed his cheek quickly, before sticking her finger through it and feeling the fish come up to nibble.

"You were wrong."

(Y/N) turned back to face Leon, looking confused. "About what?"

"Winter doesn't kill everything it touches."
