Prank [Fritz]

[Fritz Jacobs]

Quietly, Fritz listened to the comment Kristina gave over his snowy walks. Cold, but yet they contained that particularly pleasant atmosphere that attracted Fritz to the walk. The stillness and calmness that came from a winter day was the one thing that Fritz could still hold despite his immortality. "They're a calmness I can enjoy, I suppose," Fritz added after the comment. Fritz took another glance at the window, finding tiny flakes of white snow falling outside. Remaining silent, Fritz simply listened to Kristina's hobbies, only to find quite a few similarities between what was enjoyed. "Reading is alright, at least it's something to do," Fritz responded, not much enthusiasm to his words. Hesitantly, Fritz thought over saying his next words, debating whether or not he wanted to ask. "Um, perhaps we could walk together sometime? That's if you ever need to talk in person." The immortal had no clue why he would even ask such a thing, but he found himself seeking a bit of company on his lonely walks.

Kristina noticed that Fritz seemed to enjoy the walks more than he was letting on and looked at the window. If it weren't for the fact that white snow flakes were falling, she might have tried getting his attention back. Though he seemed focused on what she was saying so she wasn't very bothered by the lack of eye contact. She was caught off guard when he suggested they could walk together sometime. "That would be so great." She answered him back, then it was settled, every time she wanted to talk in person they would be able to go on a walk. That would likely happen a lot since she hadn't been getting up in the morning to go jogging. Once the Valentine party happened she planned on starting up on that again.

Little did she know how true that thought would be for the near future. She blinked a few times, "It's a shame. When I first moved here.... I never knew about Darkness. Then I met Dream and Darkness...." She paused before adding, "It gave me reason to be more careful when I left the house.... I always thought the Chaser academy was so cool, at the time I never thought I would see the day that I would join." She paused again looking down at the table. My brothers would have liked to have joined too. "I'm still deciding if I want to change schools or not. There is a friend at my currently school that I would be leaving if I switched." By friend she was talking about another scholar named Isidore.

Gracefully, white snowflakes fell from the cloud, descending at slow and calming rate. Fritz's green eyes focused on the following snow while he listened to Kristina. His gaze was occupied by the outside so much that he didn't notice that Kristina was caught off guard by his suggestion. Once she agreed to the idea, Fritz nodded to acknowledge the agreement. Something about the idea seemed pleasant, for a long time Fritz had taken his walking route alone, but now he would have company. Silence fell over the table as Fritz tried to think of another topic, only to find that Kristina already had another topic. When Kristina paused, Fritz was about to say something when she continued about Chaser Academy and about how she would have to switch schools. "It is, but things happen, and sometimes you can't stop them. People grow up, alliances change, and people fade away." Fritz responded, his voice fading more and more as he went on. Immortality couldn't have been stopped, and now he was stuck at his age. Fritz hesitated before speaking up again, due to the idea of his "curse", "Well, where one door closes, another opens as they say. Besides, its not like you can't be friends with him anymore."

Kristina found herself smiling, it sounded like a plan, to be able to walk with somebody. Plus she would stay out of fights if she was with Fritz. To her, he was a hero, protector, one that knew how to handle things without needing to fight unless it really badly needed to happen. His words, they were interesting, she felt like he was hiding something with them, the way he had them fading slightly, it made her think of a person that seemed to have lost many things or knew that was their future. She listened as he explained as one door closes another one opens, "That is true."

She answered, missing the message of him telling her about his immortality. Maybe if he had spelled it out for her she would have understood it so much better, oh well. A thought had crossed her mind, "We should go on that walk right now...." She stood up from the table before grabbing her backpack. She loved the snow and today was such a perfect day, she felt like it would be so much fun for her to go on a walk since she hadn't done one in a while.

"Come on..." She called over, "Where should we go?" She asked, checking her pocket to make sure she hadn't left her phone or wallet before looking around. "I'm still somewhat new here.... so I'll follow where you walk..." Partly because I don't want to risk getting ditched but also because I haven't really walked around here since my brothers died.... She reached out for his jacket sleeve as if having the little bit of fabric in her hand would make life for comforting.

Descending from pale grey clouds came the white powder that Fritz had taken a liking to. A hero was what the immortal was labelled as to many. Upon hearing his words, Kristina responded with an agreement to the idea. Whether or not she'd found the message buried in his words was unknown to Fritz. After a few seconds of silence, Kristina spoke up about going to take that walk. Fritz gaze returned to Kristina as she stood and took her backpack. Once she'd done so, Kristina encouraged him to come along. Rising from his seat, Fritz went over to the door, stopping when Kristina asked where they should go. "I usually just wander," Fritz answered. Truly Fritz's walks had no destination, it as mostly just wandering. However, this walk in particular would completely avoid where Kristina's brothers died. Before Fritz had the chance to open the cafe door, Kristina reached out and grabbed his jacket sleeve. "What are you doing?" Fritz asked, glancing back at Kristina. Someone reaching to grab his sleeve was a foreign concept to Fritz, making it a bit strange.

[Deleted]

Kristina had an idea of where they could go, but as they were leaving he was asking why she grabbed his sleeve. "Grabbing your sleeve." She answered him back, since he had stopped, she held it tighter as if to pull him before going out of the cafe so that they were outside. "Why? Because you are my body guard." It was a simple answer and it was true. She felt like she was safe around him. As they started to walk she smiled, looking at all the snow made her so happy. "I really love the snow. It is one of the few things back home I didn't have, but when I got here.... well I just can't seem to get enough of it." She finished as she continued holding his sleeve.

As they walked she noticed the big pale of snow on the ground. She let go of his sleeve and ran over to grab it in her hands, her first thought was to make a snow man. After a few minutes she noticed how horrible it looked. She could hear Fritz chuckle, so she picked up some snow, rolled it into a ball and threw it at him. Then she laughed as if she had won something. Of course that would count as her flirting with him. She then made a habit of moving around as to make it harder for him to hit her if he chose to try and get her back.

Pausing momentarily, Fritz listened to Kristina's basic answer. A sigh of annoyance escaped from the immortal's, but before he could inquire why Kristina's grip tightened and she pulled him out the door. Only moments later did it appear she'd read his mind, stating that he was her bodyguard. "That was a one night show," Fritz began, but then the incident came to mind. Another sigh escaped the immortals mouth before he continued. "But I suppose you can hold my sleeve this one time." With that said, Fritz began walking with Kristina, his sleeve secured in her grip. His eyes preformed a constant glance, looking at other people walking about before looking towards Kristina who was smiling. His gaze remained as she spoke about the snow and how enjoyable it was. "I just think it looks beautiful and pure in a way," Fritz said.

A few moments later a pile of snow was in sight, just off the sidewalk. It didn't take long for Kristina to take notice and run towards it, letting go of his sleeve. Once Fritz caught up, he smiled as Kristina attempted to make a rather poor snowman, which caused him to chuckle. Before Fritz could take notice, Kristina made a snowball and threw it towards him. The snowball smacked into Fritz's face causing a cold sensation. With a quick hand, Fritz whipped the cold snow off his face, looking at Kristina while she laughed. A small smile drew up on the immortal's face as his hand reached down to gather up some snow. Fritz packed it into a tight ball before throwing it towards Kristina in hopes of hitting the moving target.

Kristina found herself smiling as she moved around, boy was his face expression priceless because she had hit him. He had picked up a snowball and had hit her but she had picked up more snow and threw it, laughing because she was having so much fun. As the snowballs threw in the air she continued laughing, not minding if some hit her because many hadn't. She stood moving long enough to catch her breath before falling onto her knees. What... what? It had caught her off guard, she sneezed a few times before she passed out on the ground. One might think she was sick but she didn't appear to be sick and yet she had passed out in the snow anyway. It was because she was sick, but she was immortal, so it kept her from appearing as such. Fritz had caught her when he saw her going down, getting stuck having to hold her up.

He carried her to the doctor's office before getting her checked out. A few hours later the doctor ran some tests and found out the reason for why she wasn't appearing sick even though the test showed that she was. Kristina was up, just wanting for them to let her go, claiming she was fine it was just a cough. No matter how much the doctor tried telling her his answer she just wouldn't hear it. She walked passed Fritz, clearly ready to leave and the doctor was running out of patients. He told Fritz that she was indeed sick and the only reasons she didn't look like it was because she was immortal. Kristina wasn't in earshot but she looked back at Fritz wondering if he was coming or not before leaving the building.

Smiles gathered about as the playful fight of snow continued, Kristina dodging most snowballs while Fritz got pelted with them. Laughter filled the air, causing a few glances or curiosity to peer their way. Surprisingly, Fritz was enjoying the playful fight for it reminded him of when he was little and played snow games with his father and mother. Kristina stopped, giving Fritz enough time to close the gap between them, and thankfully he did. Whilst catching her breath, Kristina fell to her knees before sneezing and descending to the ground. Just before Kristina could fall any further, Fritz lunged forward and caught her. "Kris?! KRIS?" Fritz shouted, hoping this was some sort of joke. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, leaving the immortal to carry Kristina to the hospital. Nothing seemed serious enough to require an ambulance, since her breathing was regular and there were no signs of other damages.

Fritz waited as they conducted the tests on Kristina, leaning against the wall outside the office. Only moments later did he watch as Kristina exited the room, ignoring him as she walked away. Before Fritz could follow her and ask if she was alright, he was stopped by the flustered doctor. The doctor explained everything, leaving Fritz in a clear shock at the idea of her being immortal. For years, Fritz had thought himself to be alone, yet there was someone else untouched by the aging abilities of time. Once the doctor finish, Fritz nodded and began to follow Kristina, trying to gather words to tell her about her newest ability, yet nothing came to mind. Memories of how upset and chilling it had felt when discovering his own immortality was all that filled Fritz's thoughts, leaving him speechless. Truly, this was going to be something of high difficulty for Fritz to accomplish, for immortality's curse could cause rejoice or sadness.
