The snowball fight happened so fast that Audrey found herself hiding behind a snow wall someone had built, hugging her big ass bag she used to carry everything to classes. “How the fuck did this happen?” She asked, wondering if she could risk a peek over the wall to see how the battle waged, but right before she did, a snowball whizzed past her head. Several more snowballs went past, and she couldn’t help but feel trapped, which of course wasn’t a big deal despite the cold. She pulled out a bag of flaming hot Cheetos and started snaking, wondering how long this was going to last before she could head back to her dorm room.

The snow had been falling throughout the day and Tyson had heard whispered of a massive snowball fight taking place outside the dorms once classes were of the day. He had wanted to try to make it back to his room but of course life had had other plans. The sidewalks had been slick, slowing his pace and other students had hurried past him so by the time he had made it the dorms and all out war was happening. He was about to hurry inside when he felt a snow explode against his ear. He whipped around, seeing his little brother grinning at him, flipping him the bird before running off. Tyson couldn't stop himself from grinning but before running into the fray he dropped his back pack in a pile of other discarded school bags under the awning over the dorms entrance and fixed his gloves. He spotted a snow wall and dove behind it, not noticing the person next to him as he quickly packed the snow into a ball and peeked over the edge, spotting his brother and chucking the ball, watching as it exploded against the back of Ericks head. Before Erick could look back to see him Tyson had dove back down under cover.

Audrey was already halfway through her bag, licking her fingers of the dust when low and behold, Tyson slides behind the snow wall with her. She raised an eyebrow, wondering if he knew she was there, but sadly felt like he didn’t even know she was there. Though she froze at the sight of him making a snowball, and stared as he threw it, shocked that he would actually join in. The corners of her lips curled into a smile, her stomach fluttering with the sudden desire to kiss him. Though wanting to kiss someone wasn’t unusual for Audrey, the fluttering feeling was a little different. She didn’t move until she realized he’d need ammo if he was going to fight, and she quicky made a snowball, covered in Cheeto dust, before placing it in his open hand. She didn’t stop there though, moving to make another one, feeling giddy like when she and Victoria would have a snowball fight with the other kids in the resort, but the thought of kissing him lingered.

Tyson was grinning when he heard his brother yelling his name, telling him to stop being a coward and come out and face him, but like the great big brother he was Tyson didn't move, determined to terrorize Erick for as long as possible. He reached to make another snowball when an orange tinted one landed in his gloved hand. He looked at it in confusion as he wondered where it came from until realizing someone else was with him, someone who was nonother than Audrey. He looked at her in surprise, "why is this orange?"

Audrey stopped making the current snowball, realizing she’d have to put her gloves back on to prevent frostbite, even if the snowballs wouldn’t be made as well as with her bare hands. She turned and gave a giant smile to Tyson. “I was eating Cheetos right as you slid behind the wall.” She had to remember she had the rest of the bag to eat too, which she now planned to do back in her dorm after this.

For a second Tyson just stared at her, of course she had been eating Cheetos during a snowball fight. The motion was just so...Audrey....he couldn't stop himself from laughing as a grin crossed his face. "Of course, should have known." He looked down at the snowball then poked his head over the wall, scanning the people running back and forth when he spotted his brothers similar mop of curly blonde hair. He paused for a moment, making sure it was Erick before chucking the ball, which flew true and hit Erick in the side of the head, stunning him enough for Tyson to hide back behind the wall.

Audrey had a stack of ten snowballs before she brushed off the snow and the rest of her Cheeto dust from her hands on her pants, “You should have. I still have some left so they’ll be more Cheeto dust covered snowballs if we can’t win.” She laughed before cupping her hands and blowing into them to try and warm them up.

Tyson shook his head but was still smiling, "good, it'll confuse my brother more." He said, knowing it was going to drive Erick crazy that he didn't know where he was or why the snow was orange. He glanced down at Audrey's hands, frowning a little, "don't you have gloves?" He asked, but before she could answer he took off his own, pulling them onto her hands then turned his attention back to the snowball fight, searching for his brother and when he spotted him again he grabbed two snowballs, lobbing them as fast as he could before ducking down again, feeling a slight sting from the cold against his hands but didn't care.

Audrey laughed at Tyson wanting to confuse his brother, “I take it he’s the reason you joined in on this fight?” she asked with a smirk, going back to blowing air into her cupped hands until he asked about gloves. “Oh I’ve got-“ But before she could explain her gloves were in her bag, he slipped his own on. She stared at the gloves on her hands for a few seconds before grabbing her own pair. “Tyson.” She said, holding out his gloves to him after he threw another snowball. “I have gloves but thank you.” She smiled before she started making more snowballs for him, happy not to show him how terrible of throw she was.

"Well, he hit me first, so he should have known better." Tyson replied, turning to peek out from behind the wall again but didn't throw a snowball just yet. He glanced back at Audrey when she tried to give back his gloves, a frown crossing his face. "Your gloves are knit. That's the worst kind, they'll get soaked when the snow melts, mine are water proof." He told her, ignoring the offering and grabbing another snowball except a new target caught his eye. He spotted Darius and pulled his arm back, sending the snow ball sailing through the air and smacking the other guy on the back of his neck and Tyson ducked back down.

Audrey giggled as Tyson explained, wishing she had seen it happen, but was probably hiding behind this wall when it happened. She rolled her eyes, “If’s fine, I’ve worn these for snowball fights before, no big deal.” Still holding out the gloves for him, not wanting him to go without them, but it seemed like he wasn’t going to take them. She put his gloves back on, muttering under breath, and got back to work making snowballs.

Tyson looked over at Audrey, he'd take the gloves back if she really wanted him to but when she put them back on he felt something warm grow in his chest. He smiled a little bit, "uh huh, so you had cold hands then too." He replied and grabbed a snowball, looking up from behind the wall to look for his brother but when he didn't see Erick he frowned, continuing to look.
"HA! GOT YOU!" Erick yelled, popping out from the side and started to chuck snowballs at Tyson with a huge grin on his face, not noticing his brothers companion.
Tyson jerked back in surprise, eyes going wide. He didn't say anything as he grabbed from their stock pile and started to throwing them back at Erick.

Audrey rolled her eyes, having a feeling it as useless to explain to him that she didn’t have cold hands back then and she only had cold hands now because she was eating Cheetos. She wasn’t about to ruin her gloves with Cheeto dust. Audrey was busy packing a snowball when someone popped out from behind the wall and started throwing snowballs at the two of them. She shrieked, covering her face as she laughed, feeling the cold spray from the snowball hitting Tyson nearby.

Erick laughed, feeling like an evil super villain after finding the ultimate power up, the snowballs his brother was hitting him with feeling like nothing...for a second until one hit his forehead, making hum stumble back.
At the momentary pause Tyson jumped up, stepping in front of Audrey and continued to throw snowballs at his brother until Erick finally turned tail and ran, slipping across the snow. Tyson grinned, running out from behind the snow wall and chasing Erick, not stopping until he tackled him. Both boys started to laugh, chucking whatever snow they could at each other until Erick wiggled free and took off again except this time Tyson got up, brushing himself up and walking back to where he had left Audrey.

Audrey sat back when Tyson disappeared, not ready to move from cover despite the war to be over. She didn’t hear anymore screaming, or thuds from the snowballs hitting their mark. She could even hear Tyson’s footsteps as he returned. She pulled his gloves off and placed them on her lap and started digging through her purse, pulling out the bag of Cheetos, and waited for Tyson to walk around the wall, though she figured he’d head back to his dorm.

Tyson rounded the corner of the snow wall and looked at Audrey, raising his eyebrow. "Snack time again?" He half joked but glanced back at the battle field, seeing a few people making snow men as others meandered off, probably to go inside and get warm.

Audrey smiled at Tyson, “It’s always snack time for me.” She was that type of person, never really eating big meals, but small snacks throughout the day is what sustained her. She held out the bag to him, offering up her precious treasure, but she had another bag in her purse.

Tyson chuckled softly, eyeing the bag of Cheetos before looking at her and slowly taking one, "I've never had one of these before." He told her, usually sticking to plain Ruffles or sour cream and onion chips but figured this couldn't be that bad if Audrey was munching on them like no tomorrow, but then again he strongly disliked the feeling of the powder left on his fingers. He popped the chip into his mouth and chewed, nose crinkling a little at the heat.

Audrey stared at him as if he had said he’d never breathed air before, “Unacceptable. Though I understand because spicy isn’t for everyone.” She didn’t hold it against anyone if they didn’t like the heat that came with it, Victoria didn’t, but Audrey had a death wish she guessed. She giggled at his reaction, noting his nose crinkling while he chewed. “Don’t force yourself to enjoy it.” She tipped the bag and poured the crumbs left over from getting crushed in her bag into her mouth. “What are your plans now?” she asked, planning to just veg out in her room and watch some trash T.V. or something.

Tyson wasn't sure what he thought of the cheeto, it wasn't bad but it also wasn't his favorite. His eyebrow raised when she downed the crumbs, imagining how bad it would hurt if some of the spicy dust were to get into your eyes. The idea made a shudder run through him, "oh," he answered, "I should probably do some homework or study." He said, he was ahead on his work but not as much as he wanted to be.

Audrey sighed to herself when he mentioned needing to do homework, figuring that’s what he would end up doing after this. “Gotta be months ahead am I right?” She teased, though she probably should at least do her homework that as due, since she had barely turned in any assignments in this semester.

"Better than getting behind." Tyson shrugged, "have you been doing your work?" He asked her back, assuming the answer as he raised his eyebrow at her. It was nothing against her, he didn't feel like he was making fun of her or anything, just stating the facts.

Audrey didn’t look at him, but she was smirking, knowing he wouldn’t chastise her for it, but she felt a little more guilty hearing him ask versus when her dad would. “The answer is obvious.” She was she she’d send him into a coma if he found out she turned most of her assignments in two or three days later and would often receive a lower grade for it.

Tyson shook his head at her, "if you don't do you work how are you going to graduate with me?" He asked her, "get up, we need to study." He told her, turning away and heading over to grab his bag without looking back to see if she was even following.

“Hmmm, with the no child left behind law,” Audrey chuckled, knowing it wouldn’t save her each year, but she had been doing fairly well on her own already. “Awww, you like me.” She teased, poking him in the arm, though frowned when he immediately got up and said they needed to study. “But I’m not good at studying.” She groaned, pouting slightly, but he was already walking away. She sighed, debating on just sitting in the snow until it got too cold, though it took two seconds to realize her butt was cold. “Hold on, don’t walk so fast. You are a giant after all.” She teased, laughing as she grabbed her bag and jogged after him.

Tyson shook his head, either Audrey would follow or she wouldn't, it wouldn't stop his plans for the night. He had work he needed to get done and he wanted to stay near the top of the class. He needed to keep his scholarship and the only way to do that was to throw himself into his school work, making sure whatever he did was absolutely correct. He grabbed his back pack and was about to go inside when he heard Audrey tell him to hold on. Tyson looked back at her, surprised to see her jogging over to him, "be careful," he warned, "it's slick."

Audrey rolled her eyes, but smiled, feeling like maybe he actually cared about her, even if he was about to leave her in the cold or snow. “I’d say that’s sweet, but I feel like if I fell you would just keep walking.” She teased, though partially felt like he would since he had so much work to do.

Tyson frowned, wondering if she really did think that about him and why. "I wouldn't do that, that's mean." He told her as he slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed inside, pausing and holding the door open for her before leading her to his down and into his room, which was simply furnished and decorated. His bed was in the corner with navy blue bedding and his desk was against the opposite wall with bookshelves on either side, in the remaining part of the room was his dresser and closet, a tv standing on top of the dresser.

Audrey couldn’t stop the smile growing on her face, the thought that Tyson wouldn’t leave her flat on her back had her tempted to try and fall anyways. He was already heading inside, and she didn’t want to be left behind, so she kept pace with him until he led her all the way to his dorm room. “Wow,” She said, slowly looking around as she dropped her bag by his door, “I never thought I’d be invited into your room.” She teased, though really thought he’d keep this place to himself.

Tyson looked over at her with a slight frown but shrugged, "it's nothing that impressive." He replied, setting his backpack on his desk and started to unpack it so he could get to work on researching for his Government class. "Make yourself comfortable, but not enough to fall asleep." He joked a little, turning back and giving her a pointed look.
