Without warning, Stan came charging through the snow, colliding with him in a sudden, suffocatingly tight embrace. Kyle's ginger curls bounced as he recoiled in shock, watching Stan's bag slump uselessly into the powder while Stan buried his face deep into the wool of Kyle's coat. 'Stan?' Kyle barked, his voice laced with genuine bewilderment. The only response was a series of muffled, incoherent sounds. 'Speak clearly, you idiot,' Kyle sighed, though he didn't pull away, shifting his weight as he tried to decipher his friend's sudden desperation.
