ㅤfailing to notice that luffy is no longer walking with them, their attention stuck firmly on surveying the other people in the park, byan continues along the path, eyes searching for any who may have prime pockets to pinch from. —that is, until a ball of snow hits the back of their head, halting them in their tracks with a startled jolt. hand raising to the spot of impact, they feel the chunks of snow that have gotten caught in their hair, cold and wet against the warmth of their bare fingers, and whirl around on their heel to confront their attacker.

ㅤ...an attacker who's looking far too pleased with himself for their liking.

they don't give him a chance to blink. rather than shout profanity at him, byan instead launches themself forward, sprinting full speed at their traitorous friend with an unreadable expression on their face. luffy turns and starts running, but it's already too late. before he can pick up any speed, they've caught up and lunged forth, arms wrapping around his torso as their body collides with his and sends them both toppling forward into the snow. unfazed, their fall cushioned by the dead man beneath them, byan pushes themself up to a seated position on luffy's back and, grabbing the back of his head none too gently with one hand, they thrust his face into the snow with a forceful shove, leaning over him to hold him in place.

ㅤㅤ" what was that? "ㅤthe question sounds oddly playful for the amount of aggression held in their actions, if also a bit mocking.ㅤ" you wanna know how long it takes for someone t' suffocate in the snow? well, why didn't y'just say so? "

as they continue to hold his head down, they collect a good amount of snow with their free hand, ignoring the way the cold bites at their skin.

ㅤㅤ" how 'bout we take a bet? i'm gonna say... three minutes. what d'you think? "ㅤobviously not waiting for an answer that they won't be able to understand, byan tugs at the collar of luffy's jacket, a few small pieces of snow falling free in the process which land along the back of his neck. then, with no further warning, the hand full of snow is jammed down the back of his coat, as well as the shirt underneath, and pressed hard against his bare back. simultaneously, they release their grip on his head, allowing him to come back up for air, albeit not without a solid smack for good measure.

ㅤㅤ" you're lucky we're in such a public place, "ㅤthey continue, the mocking lilt still present in their tone as they begin shovelling even more snow underneath his jacket,ㅤ" too many witnesses, 'n you're not worth the risk. but next time? you don't get off this easy. "
