Whumptober 2024 Masterlist

AO3

A/N: possibly my last whumptober 2024 entry, but who knows. this one shot is longer than i expected it to be. i thought it would be around 2k words max.

Yashiro shouldn't have wandered into the forest without telling her teachers or classmates. But she saw a mysterious figure in the forest and had to check what it was.

She steps hard on the snow to leave a trail to return to once she finds what she's looking for. She also keeps track of her surroundings so she will remember where she passed by and look for the mysterious figure.

The deeper she heads into the forest, the more she doesn't recognize the surroundings. She's far away from the skiing resort. She can't see any of her teachers and classmates' figures.

Yashiro thinks of backing down, but she's gone too far to do it. She tries not to think of how she didn't bring anyone with her and no one would ever know where she is once they find out she's not there with them.

Her gaze wanders over the stream of water that has been frozen over due to the cold. She looks to the other side of the forest and sees the familiar figure once again, hidden in a shadow.

Then the mysterious figure turns around and runs.

"Hey, wait—!" Yashiro calls out to the mysterious figure as she carefully crosses over the frozen stream of water. It takes her too slow to go to the other side and by the time she goes through the forest, the mysterious figure is gone.

Yashiro heads deeper into the forest, following the direction of where the mysterious figure went off. She runs as fast as she can. She doesn't look around to admire the forest anymore, too focused on finding that mysterious figure.

She has questions for them. And worries of why they are out this far from the others.

She too is also far from the others, but it is on purpose—! She follows the mysterious figure to ask questions and to bring them back to the others afterward.

Yashiro doesn't know how long she has been running, but it is long enough to leave her exhausted. She is panting for breath as she leans on the tree, her body shivering from the cold despite wearing winter clothes.

The mysterious figure is long gone, their footsteps covered by snow.

"I should head back…" Yashiro sighs in defeat, her shoulders lowering as she exhales a shaky breath. She looks at the surroundings and she doesn't recognize the area.

Her heart spikes up as she rapidly turns her head everywhere, forcing herself to walk around despite how tired she still feels. The boot prints are covered by the snow, preventing her from figuring out which direction she went from.

She looks at the sky and notices the sun is covered by the clouds. She can't tell what time it is because of it.

Yashiro looks at her hands, noticing how they shake because of how cold it is even with the gloves.

She is lost.

It should not have been a surprise since she wandered off into a forest without someone to accompany her and didn't tell anyone about where she went off to. She knew what she was getting into.

She knew following a mysterious figure never leads to anything good. All of them lead to being murdered. She is being reckless, and she knows Aoi will reprimand her once she finds out what is doing.

But the mysterious figure looked like a boy. It looked like someone around her age.

For a brief moment, her eyes met with the boy's, and his eyes looked soft, yet there was an undermining mystery in his gaze that eventually brought her into her current predicament; lost and tired.

Yashiro blinks when she sees a snowflake vaporize once it lands on her gloves. She looks around, noticing more snowflakes falling, and the wind picking up on its speed.

Her body shivers when a gust of wind passes by her and rubs her gloves together to keep herself warm.

A snowstorm is coming and Yashiro needs to find a place to stay before it gets worse.

There are no nearby caves, so she runs until she finds a nearby cave. The winds are getting stronger and more snowflakes fall from the sky.

Snow is slowly piling on top of her clothes the longer she hasn't found shelter. Every exhale she takes leaves a visible fog. She is beginning to struggle to see her surroundings due to how strong the winds are.

Yashiro stumbles after tripping over something covered by the snow, and she falls. A gasp escapes from her when she lands on the ground and a short huff of exhale once she stands up.

Unfortunately, that fall left her feeling colder and her body won't stop shivering. Her hands are starting to feel numb under the gloves. She buries half of her mouth under the scarf, hoping it'll keep her warm.

She is slowing down significantly, but knows she has to continue because she won't survive this storm. She hugs herself for warmth as she takes slow, yet carefully measured steps.

The snowstorm is getting stronger, and she has to stop walking so she won't fall from the powerful gust of wind.

By now, she is constantly shivering. She feels her body growing numb and her vision blurring.

Just as she closes her eyes, she sees a familiar figure from a distance.

Yashiro wakes up to warmth instead of cold.

She opens her eyes and groans as she slowly sits up. Her head feels fuzzy. She doesn't remember finding shelter before the coldness overtook her. She tries to remember what happened before this and immediately straightens up when she remembers seeing the mysterious figure.

She turns her head, and she finds the mysterious figure staring at her.

It's a boy wearing a worn-out-looking school uniform with bandages around his arms and on his cheek. His legs are tucked close to his body while his arms are wrapped around them. His head rests on his knees as he stares at her with his large, amber eyes that almost look like they glow in the dark because of the campfire in front of him.

The most notable thing about the boy is how pale he is with some blue tinges to his lips. Despite it, he doesn't look like he's freezing. His body isn't responding with a full-body shiver, nor does he look uncomfortable with his exposed skin touching the snow.

"It's you…!" She gasps, not expecting to meet him. However, she doesn't think too much as she immediately removes the scarf wrapped around her and hands it to the boy. "Wear this. You'll get cold."

The boy doesn't move to take it, staying quiet.

"Um…" Yashiro blinks, confused as to why he isn't taking the scarf. Doesn't he feel the cold air lingering despite the warmth of a campfire? Even with her winter clothes, she still feels it.

The boy stays silent as he continues to stare at her with his unblinking eyes.

It's enough to make Yashiro feel uncomfortable around him and takes this as a response that he won't take the scarf. Yashiro sighs as she wraps it back around her neck.

The boy doesn't say anything for a few more minutes before his eyes suddenly blink, and he asks, "Are you hurt?"

This startles Yashiro. "Am I—?" She pauses, then shakes her head. "No, I'm not." She sees how the boy's shoulders relax.

Yashiro moves closer to the campfire, sighing when she feels the heat from it. She hovers her hands closer to the fire to feel it more, her body beginning to relax from the warmth.

She looks at the boy now facing towards the fire instead of her. His eyes continue to shine because of the fire, but Yashiro sees the dullness in them. She finds it odd but doesn't mention it, not wanting to trigger any possible unpleasant experiences the boy had.

Now that the mysterious figure is in front of her, she can't find the right words to say to him. It seems all the theories and questions she wanted to ask him are all gone and all that's left is a thought of trying to keep herself as warm as possible.

She looks around, wanting to know where they are currently staying, but there are no holes around them. They are completely sealed in, and the campfire is their only light source. It's a small space, and it looks man-made instead of it being naturally made.

Did the boy dig a hole through the snow without gloves on? She looks at his hands, expecting them to look red and swollen, but they look normal. It is as if he had never dug them in the first place.

But that can't be right. There was no one else in this confined space except for them, and she was unconscious, so she couldn't have been the one who dug it.

"Why were you following me?" The boy asks as he turns his head to look at her.

Yashiro wasn't expecting the boy to say anything. "What?"

His lips pull down into a frown, but he repeats the question. "Why were you following me?"

"I…" Yashiro can't find the words to say. The questions she had ages ago sound silly when she thinks about it. "… I don't know," she confessed. She feels her cheeks warming up the longer the boy looks at her and she turns to look at the fire instead of at him.

"Hm," says the boy and nods. Then he grins. "Were you enchanted by my charms?"

"What?!" She feels the heat in her cheeks even more. "No! I was—" she looks at the boy— "I was worried! You were away from everyone else and I thought that I could bring you to them, but you keep going further into the forest so I—!!" Yashiro slumps after her sudden outburst, almost getting too close to the fire before she backs off. "... followed you all the way here…" she continued as she mumbled the words.

The boy is stunned by this. His mouth is agape and eyes wide, as though he thought she would give him a laughable reason. But it isn't. She gave him a genuine reason why she kept looking for him.

"Oh," he says, because that is all he can say in response. He is not used to this genuine response.

He looks at her, and she is still shivering despite being dangerously close to the fire. He pressed his lips into a thin line.

"You're too close to the fire," he tells her in a soft mumble.

She looks at him, then at the fire, and almost jumps at how close the fire flickers close to her clothes. She must have leaned closer without realizing it.

"You shouldn't have," he says with a sigh. "Followed me, I mean," he continued.

"Why?" Yashiro tilts her head as she looks at the boy.

He doesn't respond. He tightens his grip. Then sighs again.

And he looks at her with a small grin. "What is your name?" he asks, completely ignoring her question.

"Yashiro Nene," she answers, her brows furrowing in slight confusion at the sudden change of topic. "Yours?"

He hesitates for a second. "Yugi Amane." He looks down. "But you can call me Amane."

She smiles. "Then you can call me Nene."

Amane nods. He slowly uncurls himself, sitting in a more comfortable position before hovering his hands close to the fire for warmth.

Yashiro does the same, but she can't take her eyes off the boy who she finally has a name to his face; Yugi Amane. His eyes are still dull under the warm fire, but she is beginning to see some light in them.

Yashiro sighs, wondering if the snowstorm will end soon. She doesn't know how long she's been in the enclosed space and she wants to dig a small hole to the outside, but she doesn't want to risk any of the cold air getting in.

And she's getting bored waiting.

"It's dangerous, you know…" he whispers with a small frown as he stares at the fire. "To be out here in the forest all alone… you could get hurt."

"But I'm not alone," Yashiro tells him with a smile. "I have you with me."

"Right…"

Silence . . .

Yashiro rubs her gloves together once her arms get tired from hovering them close to the fire before holding her cheeks. She sighs as she relaxes even more. She was worried she would be freezing until the snowstorm stopped.

But her relaxation slips in her exhaustion from chasing after Amane.

Yashiro backs away from the campfire to lean on the wall. She is tired, but she wants to talk more to the boy. She looks at Amane and he is staring at the little fire flickering away from the campfire.

He is a mysterious boy. He is quiet and mostly talks when she asks him questions or he wants to tell her something. He didn't give any details other than his name and he won't tell her why she wasn't supposed to follow him.

He is odd.

And yet, she can't help but be interested in him.

She wants to know more about Amane and why he is covered in bandages. Was he hurt in his home and ran away to the forest? Why didn't he seek help? Why does he still look like he's freezing despite being warmed by the fire?

"You should rest," Amane tells her as he looks at the wall of snow. "It's getting late and you need a lot of energy to head back to the resort."

"But…" she protests weakly. She can't even deny she's getting sleepy. However, she still wants to continue talking to him.

"We'll have time to chat," Amane reassures Yashiro as he turns to her with a soft smile. "I'll stay up to keep the fire going."

Yashiro nods as she slowly drifts off to sleep. "Don't stay up too late…" she mumbles before closing her eyes.

Amane chuckles as he leans on the wall behind him. "I won't."

When Yashiro wakes, she feels heat radiating around her.

She opens her eyes and immediately closes them when the rays of the sun are directed towards her. She covers her eyes with her arm and slowly opens them again, adjusting to the sudden bright light. She looks at her gloves and frowns at how wet it feels. She removes them and tucks them in her pockets.

Yashiro looks to the side, and the campfire has already been extinguished with snow. She looks around and she doesn't see Amane. Yashiro panics and she stands up to head out of the makeshift cave to look for him in the forest.

"Nene-san, over here!" A voice calls out to her and Yashiro turns to see Amane waving his hand to show where he is while holding a cooked fish on a stick in his other hand.

"Amane-kun!" Yashiro smiles as she heads over to where he is.

Amane hands over the cooked fish on a stick toward her. "For you," he says with a boyish grin.

Yashiro accepts it with a smile and opens her mouth to take a bite of it. She is starving, something she realizes after she has bitten the cooked fish. She hums in delight as she goes to sit down beside Amane on the log while she continues eating the fish until there are only bones left.

She looks at Amane to see him eating his fair share of cooked fish on a stick, but it's slower. He's taking little bites and Yashiro would believe he isn't eating at all if she isn't watching him chew and swallow it.

Amane turns to her and asks, "Do you want it?" Yashiro hesitates and Amane sighs. "I ate earlier." He gestures to the sticks beside him with some of the fish meat still sticking.

When Yashiro doesn't move to take it, Amane does it himself. He gently grabs her hand as he gives her the cooked fish on a stick before letting go.

The feeling of coldness lingers on Yashiro's hand even when Amane lets it go. It didn't feel warm like she thought it would. It's odd. But Yashiro doesn't question him about it.

Yashiro eats the cooked fish on a stick while Amane puts out the fire by kicking snow towards it. He doesn't do much other than watch her finish eating all the cooked fish before he stands up and stretches his body.

Amane jumps as he faces Yashiro, holding his hand out for her to take. Yashiro feels her cheeks warm up as she takes his hand. He pulls her up, and she expects him to let go of her hands afterward, but he doesn't. He intertwines their fingers together.

Yashiro looks at their intertwined hands, then at Amane. He looks at her with a soft smile and she flusteredly turns away from him.

"Let's get you back to the others."

Yashiro nods and Amane walks towards the northeast of the forest. She has no other choice but to follow him since she doesn't know the way around the forest, unlike him.

The journey is quiet. Amane isn't talking to her and Yashiro doesn't know what to talk about.

So she looks around to admire the forest. It is still covered in snow, but she sees a few little critters hiding behind the trees. She laughs quietly when the little critters stare at them unblinkingly before running off.

"So…" Amane starts and Yashiro turns to look at him. "What were you doing before going off to the forest to look for me?"

"I was on a class field trip at the skiing resort. We are meant to stay there for three days," Yashiro answered. And today is the day they head back. By now, there would be search parties looking for her and she hopes to be found soon.

Don't get her wrong, she doesn't regret wandering the forest to look for Amane. But she wants to be hugged by her friend, Aoi, and take a sip of a hot chocolate decorated with marshmallows.

"And instead of enjoying the resort, you went to look for me instead?"

Yashiro's cheeks redden in embarrassment. "It was an impulsive decision…!" No second thoughts about backing down, except for that brief moment when she gave up searching for him.

"Cute," he chuckles while swinging their linked hands. "But reckless." He shakes his head with a frown. "You shouldn't have followed me."

"Why?" she asks again, prompting him to explain his reasoning behind it.

Again, he doesn't respond. He stays quiet once again.

Yashiro frowns, then sighs. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Amane nods instead of saying anything.

The journey is quiet once again. And it would have continued that way if Yashiro's stomach didn't rumble loudly. Her cheeks redden in embarrassment, but Amane doesn't laugh or tease her.

"I think it's time for a break, Nene-san."

"But we're close!"

Amane shakes his head. "We still have a long way to go."

"Please," Yashiro pleads as she looks at him with her big, magenta-colored eyes. "We can eat along the way."

Amane turns away from her gaze with a defeated sigh. "Fine."

He still doesn't separate their hands even as he walks closer to the bushes to inspect the berries. He does the same for the other bushes until he finally breaks the branch containing bright red berries and hands it to Yashiro.

She takes it with hesitation. "... is this safe?" she warily asks while rotating the branch to check if the berries are poisonous. She trusts Amane, but she is justified in being wary of what he gives her, especially when he grabs it from a berry bush.

Amane nods as he twists more of the branches to break until he thinks it's enough to feed her. He turns to watch as Yashiro moves the branch closer to her mouth to take the whole berry into her mouth. She doesn't chew it at first, the hesitation still clear with the way her eyes flicker to him for reassurance.

He nods, and Yashiro chews and swallows the berry. "Oh!" she gasps, not expecting to be hit with the sweet flavor overwhelming her taste buds. "It's sweet."

Amane's eyes light up but he doesn't say anything. He continues to walk as Yashiro continues eating the berries until she's full. There are still two branches of berries left for them to eat. Yashiro hands them to Amane, but he refuses, telling her that it's all hers and he isn't feeling hungry at the moment. She doesn't believe him, but she nods and accepts his decision for now.

It is quiet once again until Yashiro quietly asks, "… do you have a family?"

Amane doesn't say anything, but she sees the way his shoulders tense and then loosens. Yashiro looks down, already regretting asking a question on a sensitive topic. She is about to apologize, but he interrupts her before she can get a word out. "I do. I have a twin brother," he softly answers. Yashiro hears the vulnerability in his response, but she stays silent as he continues, "His name is Tsukasa. We were… inseparable."

"'Were'?"

"It's—" Amane frowns with a stormy look in his eyes. It almost appears to look dull again. He shakes his head. "I don't want to talk about it," he quietly says, almost too low for Yashiro to hear if she isn't walking right beside him.

She doesn't say anything about his hands trembling, but she gently squeezes it as a gentle reassurance. Amane doesn't say anything, but Yashiro doesn't need him to say anything when she sees a small yet sincere smile on his lips.

The journey to leave the forest is not as quiet compared to earlier. She asks him simple questions, nothing too overwhelming for him, and he asks her questions as well.

They get to know each other more, but not enough for Yashiro to know about Amane's private life or why he still feels cold.

Amane and Yashiro slowly become more comfortable around each other, almost walking side-by-side, Amane being ahead by a bit since he knows the way while she doesn't.

She wears the glove back on her free hand, but not the hand that is intertwined with Amane's. She can't bring herself to cover it back up even when she feels her hand slowly growing numb from the cold.

Amane's steps are at a slower pace instead of a quick pace, almost as though he wants to spend time longer with her. Yashiro wants to do the same. And they will. She is going to drag him back with the others instead of leaving him to head back to the forest.

She likes spending time with him. Her heart flutters at every boyish grin or teasing remarks, that almost sounds flirty, he sends in her way. She sees the way his amber eyes grow brighter, looking more like a young boy instead of a mysterious figure. He could easily pose as a classmate of hers.

The more Yashiro begins to recognize the forest, the more uneasy Amane is. She can hear his breath hitching whenever she mentions recognizing the trees, but she pays no mind to it, believing he is nervous about meeting more people.

The closer they get to the resort, Yashiro quickens her pace. She is now the one dragging Amane instead of the other way around.

"We're getting close, Amane-kun!"

Amane nods with a smile, but it doesn't reach the eyes. Yashiro doesn't notice. "Yeah…!"

Yashiro brightens once they are out of the forest and she runs, dragging Amane along with her. She sees Aoi and Kou looking around while calling out her name with worry lacing in their voices. Other adults are around, but she only focuses on her friends.

"Hey! We're over here!" Yashiro shouts and Aoi turns to see Yashiro running towards her with a bright smile.

"Nene-chan!" Aoi exclaims as she runs to Yashiro and wraps her arms around her. "Where have you been? I was so worried!"

Yashiro lets go of Amane's hand to wrap her arms around Aoi, holding her tightly. "I'm okay, Aoi," she reassures her while stuttering over her words. "I was just lost in the forest."

Aoi looks at Yashiro with a disappointing frown. "The teacher told us not to leave the vicinity without a companion or telling someone else."

"I know, I know!" Yashiro whines when Aoi lets go of her, only to squeeze her cheeks.

"SENPAIIII!!!!" Kou shouts as he barrels towards her in a tackle hug. Yashiro stumbles, but Kou's hug prevents her from falling into the snow.

"Kou-kun!" Yashiro exclaims as enthusiastically as him, wrapping her arms around him.

"Where did you go?? I looked away for a few minutes, and when I turned back, you were gone!" Kou's eyes flicker everywhere as he looks at Yashiro, still radiating worries she might've gotten hurt. "Akane-san and I looked for you everywhere, but we weren't allowed to go into the forest. The teacher told us it was too dangerous."

"Nene-chan went in the forest," Aoi sweetly replies to Kou, not giving Yashiro a chance to explain herself.

"Senpai!" Kou frowns in disappointment.

"I can explain!" Yashiro says once Kou unwraps his arms around her. She lifts both her hands in surrender while being stared down by two of her friends.

Aoi continues to look at Yashiro with her sweet smile while Kou has his arms crossed.

Yashiro sighs. "I saw a mysterious figure in the forest, so I went to look for it!" They do not say anything, but Yashiro feels their exasperation at being impulsive. "And I met a boy! His name is Yugi Amane."

"'Yugi Amane'?" Kou suspiciously says as he drawls out the name.

"Yeah!" Yashiro nods. She turns to introduce the boy she met, but she doesn't see him anywhere. "Huh?" She looks around the area, but she can't find him. "Where did he go?"

"Where did who go, Nene-chan?" Aoi asks.

"Amane-kun!" she answers while desperately looking everywhere for any sign of the unkempt dark hair or his amber eyes. "He was right here."

Aoi and Kou look at each other, then at Yashiro. Yashiro's panic grows the longer she can't find him.

"Senpai," Kou says as he places a hand on her shoulder, getting Yashiro out of her turmoil. She turns to look at him. Kou looks at her with a confused, yet worried expression. "We saw no one except you."

Yashiro freezes. "What?"

Yashiro turns to Aoi, hoping for it to be a lie, but Aoi nods in agreement.

"But he was…" Yashiro says as her voice trembles ever so slightly. "Didn't you see me holding a boy while I ran towards you, Aoi?"

Aoi frowns while shaking her head. "I only saw you."

But it can't be…

Yashiro talked with Amane. She made physical contact with him. She bonded with him.

"Nene-chan…" Aoi says as she steps closer to place her hand on Yashiro's back, slowly moving her to the resort. "I'm sure you are feeling cold right now. Let us go and drink some hot chocolate."

Yashiro numbly nods as she follows Aoi, not minding that Kou walking beside her. She turns her head towards the forest, hoping she can see a glimpse of Amane, but there is none.

As Yashiro heads back to the resort with her friends, she wonders if the boy she met is a hallucination she had due to the freezing snowstorm.
