The sun won the battle in the sky today, shining its golden light on the earth and giving warmth despite the snow that covered the ground around you. The trees that lined the clearing you were in blocked most of the wind's intensity and reduced it to being merely a gentle breeze that your jinbei and cloak were more then able to protect you from. Reimu was with you today wearing her warmer winterized outfit and a shawl to cover her shoulders along with her mittens and scarf, earlier she had insisted with upturned eyes that you both spend lunch time having a picnic. You weren't really enthused by the idea of eating out in the chill but you did figure that it would be a nice diversion for her to enjoy.
Lately Reimu had been getting antsy which was something you couldn't fault her for as you two had hardly gotten any alone time. It was ever more clear on days where Reimu was 'in charge' of watching you, yet she could hardly monopolize your time and attention as there always seemed someone else right around the corner or on the other side of a paper thin wall. Personally you didn't mind the company and relished them after so long in what felt like isolation but you knew that as far as married life should be the situation was a farcry from ideal, it was why you agreed to this little outing after all.
The happy miko's mitten covered hand was in your own insulated hand with your other hand taken up by a bundle containing a blanket, bento, and a thermos of hot tea. The spot was familiar to you, back when you first started dating Reimu she took you here for the first time claiming it was one of her favorite spots to relax at and you were no stranger to this place either often coming by when you needed a moment to think or just to play with Aunn as it was only a short 20 minutes walk. It didn't take long to reach a spot on ground that suited Reimu's tastes and you soon found yourself spreading the flower patterned blanket over the white and crunchy snow covered ground.
You just finished setting up the little picnic spot when you heard Reimus voice call out to you, "Look out Anon~!" before you felt a puff of snow hit you square on the back. You rallied at once turning around on the spot to see a wide grin on the playful miko's slightly flushed face as she stood on a large rock sitting not far from you. The next snowball was already being lightly tossed up and down in her hand before she sent it flying at you again! The snowball hit you on the arm this time before you had the sense to shout your defiance and gather your own little danmaku bullet of snow and send it back to Reimu who was able to dodge it with a laugh of pure exhalation as you readied another one coating your mittens with a dusting of snow in the process.
In the end you were barely able to hit the agile miko as she was able to dodge your "bullets" with practiced ease only catching her when she got hampered on terrain as she was more used to fighting in the limitless skies then on the ground. She on the other hand got you plenty of times and her aim was rather better then yours. You didn't mind however and by the time you broke for lunch you both were giggling like children and even your mood had improved as you got completely taken up by the fun of the 'fight'. For a short time you forgot all about the dreary situation you found yourself in and were able to play like you used too when you two were actually happy, even after you sat down albeit a little breathlessly from all the running you couldn't keep that silly smile off your face so you simply embraced it feeling the giddy easy-going feeling run its course through you.
You two took your spots on the blanket chattering happily both bragging in turn of your highlights during the 'intense high-stakes' fight you two had and teasing each other about the blunders the other made. Soon enough the bento were opened after your empty stomachs took over your reasoning and before long you found yourself both eating while chatting about this and that, sharing each others favorites and swiping food from each others plates in good humor. Once again you felt that spark rising up in your chest threatening to reignite the long dormant emotions you once felt so strongly for Reimu, but you weren't sure if it would be alright to let yourself be overwhelmed again by that honey-pot of an emotion.
Despite your hesitation you wouldn't let it show on your face nor in your voice, you decided that at least for this next hour you'd ride this elusive surge of happiness and let the women in front of you made your wife become your world again. With that in mind you scooped up one of the pickled veggies with your chopsticks and held it up to Reimu where you enjoyed the sight of her holding nothing back in eating it with relish on her face. Despite her now messy hair, the snow that dusted her hair and clothing, and that she stole a portion of your fried chicken you couldn't help but feel that in this moment you found happiness.
