*Klaus' POV*

"Klaus, Klaus, you'll never guess what's happening outside!" Sunny squealed from my doorway. She was wearing her coat and a hat with a small snowboard in her hand.
"Is it snowing?" I asked her. Sunny nodded violently.

"C'mon!" She exclaimed as I grabbed my coat. Violet and Duncan were trying to make snowballs out of the powdery snow already in a sheet at least an inch thick. It was snowing quickly and somewhat heavily. "Where's Izzie?" I asked.
"Trying to build an igloo, I think..." Violet answered as she launched a ball at Duncan. They are a cute couple, if I'm being completely honest. I looked around and didn't see Isadora. Where could she be? I searched along the estate and found a half finished igloo in the backyard. There was no roof to it, but I saw Isadora sitting in the middle of it.

"Hi," she said sheepishly.
"Good afternoon, Isadora. This looks cozy," I replied, sitting next to her. It was more just four tall walls of snow with a small opening to crawl in and out of. Her hair was full of snowflakes and her nose was red from the cold. She shivered slightly and I wrapped my arms around her to keep her warm. "Thanks," she whispered, cuddling up to me. I blushed uncontrollably.
"Take my coat. I'll grab some things so we can actually enjoy each other's company." She nodded as I handed her my coat. I hated to leave her, but she looked like she needed some hot cocoa. I found some leftover planks of wood that I put on top of the four snow walls, blocking out the snow. This left it pretty dark inside, so I fetched a candle or two and also a blanket and two more coats along with the hot cocoa. I made several trips, of course.

"Honey, I'm home," I joked, crawling in through the hole with a tray of mugs and sandwiches. The warm glow of the candles shined on her face and brought out her beautiful green eyes. She giggled slightly. "I see you brought lunch. How long did you intend on hanging out with me?"

I handed her a mug and a half of a roast beef sandwich. "How long does it take snow to melt?" I asked in response. She let out another small giggle. I love her laugh. I love everything about her, I just wish I could tell her. I always got so flustered around girls and Isadora was no exception. She nibbled at the sandwich and set it back down on the tray. "Did you being anything to keep us occupied?" She asked skeptically.

*Isadora's POV*

"Did you bring anything to keep us occupied?" I asked him. I hoped to God that the answer was his lips! Klaus was just the most caring, gentlemanly guy in the entire world! I mean like look at all of the little things he did to make my igloo more comfortable. It was super obvious that he liked me, considering his words tripped over the other constantly when I was close, but I desperately wanted to hear it from him. Maybe I could devise a plan to make him confess his feelings...

"I brought a book. I hope you're fine sharing." He said, pulling a book out of his coat pocket.

I nodded and scooted closer to him. His blush-tinged face was hard to see in the somewhat darkness of the "igloo". I smiled and flipped open the book. The candles and hole-door provided just enough light for us to read comfortably. Our shoulders were touching and as we read in comfortable silence. When we finished the page in perfect sync, Klaus let go of the page and it fluttered over to me and I caught it under my thumb. We finished the chapter and I suggested we should bring everything back inside.

" That sounds like a good idea, " Klaus said, blowing out both of the candles and beginning to gather the items he'd brought in. I stopped him involuntarily. "Yes, Isadora?" He asked. I didn't know what to say, so I just kept looking into his handsome chocolate brown eyes. What should I say, I thought, Should I tell him I like him? He clearly likes me back. "I-I um I just wanted to thank you for your company," I said, blushing slightly.

"Anything for you, Isadora." He said softly, smiling shyly and blushing profusely. That's it. He's too adorable! I grabbed his face and kissed him passionately. As I finally pulled away, Klaus' eyes were wide and his face was dark red behind his fogged glasses. I imagined my face was just as red.

"I I I I... Um..."
" I love you too." I said, internally translating his flustered stuttering.
" I-I never said that... "
"You implied it plenty. And I love you too, Klaus."
" You love me? "
"How could I not? You're perfect!" I said, hugging him.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course!" I squealed, jumping into his arms and sending the both of us into the snowy wall, giggling because we just barely escaped the wood roof.... That and Quigley was sort of being forced to build a snow throne for Fiona.
