Dad: So, what flavor are you gonna get?

You gave it some thought. Your dad waited for you answer as one of his old CDs played. It was Pearl Jam, if you recalled correctly. Old people music you were too young to really enjoy. You were 11, after all.

Y/N: I think I want chocolate today.

Dad: Chocolate? Good choice. I think I'll get myself a cherry dipped cone.

The cherry dipped cone did sound good.

Your dad pulled up to the stop light and waited for it to turn green.

Dad: Hey, bud.

You looked at your dad.

Dad: You know why I do this?

You thought about it.

Y/N: Because you like ice cream?

Your dad chuckled a bit.

Dad: Well, I do. But there's another reason.

You looked at him confused.

Dad: It's because, one day we won't have this. One day you'll be too old to hang out with your dad.

Y/N: No way! You're my best friend!

Your dad smiled as the light turned green. He began to move forward.

Dad: Thanks, bud. I really appreciate th.....

CRASH

Y/N: NO!

Your eyes shot open and you sat up, grabbing your chest. Your friends looked at you, scared by your sudden yell. Ezreal kept his hands steady on the wheel before he looked at you in the rear view mirror.

Ezreal: The hell, man?!

You looked around and remembered that you were in the van with your friends. You were all heading up to Kayn's cabin for Winter Break. Right. You were 16.

Jinx: Hey, you alright?

You looked to your blue haired friend before you looked at the others. They all seemed a bit concerned. You turned back to Jinx.

Y/N: Yeah. Sorry.

Jinx, though not entirely convinced, just nodded. Everyone fell back into conversation while you looked out the back window. You must've been asleep for a while. You could see the snow now.

You sat up a bit, feeling your jacket move, before you looked down at yourself. You were using your jacket as a blanket and your bag as a pillow. You just thought you could get some shut eye since you didn't get much sleep the night before.

You were busy.

And by busy I mean you and Evelynn boned.

Took her to pound town.

She rode you like a stallion.

This is probably getting too descriptive so I'll just move on.

On your head you wore a winter snow cap. The jacket you had was a black coat that you had gotten from Sett since it was too small for him now. Everyone was dressed for the cold as well.

Scarfs, mittens, beanies, hoodies, and warm clothing.

Lux: I'm so excited to get back to the cabin. A whole week and a half of winter wonderland.

You looked up to the front seats where Ezreal and Lux sat.

Ezreal: That's assuming we survive the drive there.

Rakan: Don't jinx us, asshole.

Jinx: Who you calling an asshole?

Xayah: Wrong Jinx, love.

Jinx: Oh.

You just shook your head and pulled your coat back on. The heater was on, but the sight of snow just made you feel colder.

In the back with the rest of you were your bags and some extra things you all decided to bring along.

Ezreal: Here we are. The Freljord.

Kayn: You know, Kali's mom is from here.

Y/N: Ashe?

Kayn: Yeah. She used to be an archer or something.

Rakan: You know a lot.

Kayn: She told me when I went over.

Jinx: When did you go over?

Kayn: Last night.

All: Ohhhhhhhhh~

Kayn just sat there for a moment.

Kayn: We had soft tacos.

Ezreal: Well, shouldn't be too long until we get to the cabin. Once we get there, we get out shit out, pick out the rooms, and get this party started.

Jinx: Well, we all know the love birds are going to bunk together.

Xayah: I have to keep my lover warm during the cold nights.

Rakan: I have to protect my dear from the vicious frost bite.

Jinx: Gag. So we really just need to break down who's going to end up on the couch.

The cabin had three rooms. And since there was an odd number of you, one of you will have to take the lost.

Ezreal drove up a drive way and followed the trail for a bit before he reached the cabin itself.

Ezreal: As lovely as I remembered. Everyone get out.

No one objected and you opened the back door. You stepped out and you immediately stepped into the snow which made you smile.

Yesterday you were skating on the asphalt. Today, you walked on the snow.

Ezreal: Ah, man. This is going to be great. All my friends together for a snowy week of bad mistakes and horrible regrets.

Kayn: Sounds like a normal Tuesday.

Rakan: Now, for the annual drawing of the straws.

Rakan held out his fist. In it was 5 straws which will determine who bunks with who. Rakan held it out towards Kayn who grabbed one. A medium straw.

Kayn: Sweet.

Jinx pulled out a long one.

Jinx: Ha!

Ezreal grabbed a short one.

Ezreal: Fuck.

Lux pulled a medium one.

Lux: I'm with Kayn?

That means...

Y/N: Me and Jinx are bunk buddies.

Jinx: Not to be confused with a bunk bunny.

Rakan: You guys remember the bunk bunny from when we were at music festival?

Xayah: Truly a miracle that none of us got an STD.

Kayn: She was nice, though.

Lux: I rather not talk about it.

Ezreal: Then shut up and get inside!

All: Whoopi!
------------
Jinx: Do you need more wood?

You looked at the fire place and shrugged.

Y/N: If I do, I'll just go chop some.

You stood up and dusted your hands while everyone else hung around the living room.

Rakan: Well, everything is dusted off and clean now. Time to kick back and relax.

Xayah: Finally.

Xayah dropped down onto Rakan who groaned. You looked over to where you hung up your coat then out the back window. Kayn's family had installed a big hot tub last year. Maybe you could use it later.

Jinx: Hey.

You looked over to your friend. She signaled for you to follow which you did. You both ended up in your shared room. It was obvious who had what side of the bed.

Jinx sat on the bed and looked up at you.

Y/N: What's up?

Jinx: I just wanted to talk. Are you alright?

You raised a brow but nodded.

Y/N: Yeah. Why?

Jinx: Well, it's just....

She tried to find the words she wanted to say.

Jinx: When was the last time you had a dream about your dad?

How did she know that was what the dream was about?

Jinx: I heard you say his name. I don't think the others noticed.

Y/N: Oh.

Jinx: You alright?

Y/N: Yeah. Yeah. It was just a nightmare. No biggie.

Jinx didn't seem convinced.

Y/N: What about you?

Jinx: What about me?

Y/N: I dunno. You seemed a bit, off lately.

Jinx shrugged.

Jinx: It's nothing.

You crossed your arms, unconvinced.

Y/N: Is this about you and Ahri? You guys haven't talked since Halloween as far as I know.

Jinx: No. It's not about that. I'm fine.

You nodded.

Y/N: Then we're both fine.

Jinx: Yep.

Y/N: Just two fine friends feeling fine.

Jinx: No problems.

Y/N: Glad we can agree.

Jinx: Likewise.

You continued to stand there while Jinx sat on the bed.

Then, she lowered her head and started to cry. You simply walked over and sat next to her.

Jinx: It's not fine.

Y/N: I know.

You pulled her towards you and held her as she cried into your shirt.

Jinx: I'm so confused.

Y/N: I know.

Jinx: I'm scared.

Y/N: It's alright to be scared.

Jinx: What do I do?

Y/N: You cry. Then, when you're ready, you talk about it. I'll be here.

Jinx continued to cry. You just rubbed her back.

Y/N: I'll always be here.

Jinx was thankful, even though she couldn't say it right now.

Given time, she'll tell you.
