Work Text:
Winter has finally came after what felt like forever. People started putting up Christmas lights and decorations right when the snow started falling. That included the little house packed away into the woods that held the family of six. "Narancia get your butt back here right now!!" Abbacchio ran after the little who was running towards the door. He was bundled up in a winter coat, insulated overalls, and snow boots.
"Abba! lemme go!!!" Narancia whined as his papa caught up to him and started fussing over his outfit. He tugged on the doors knob but got nowhere due to the child lock.
"Nara you have to wear your gloves and hat or else you're not going outside, okay?" Abbacchio put a big knitted hat onto the others head along with putting some gloves onto his already cold fingers. Narancia continued to squirm to get away from his grasp but still got the pieces of clothing put onto him. He huffed before seeing his caregivers scolding look.
"Outside now papa?" Narancia asked, barely containing his excitement. Abbacchio sighed then let a small smile show. "Yes but make sure you stay inside the yard and don't take any of this off! Dada will be super mad if you do" He never liked showing this softer side of him but seeing his familia so vulnerable to him made him feel the need to do so in return. "Okay!!" Narancia got a goodbye kiss on his forehead before heading out into the snowy backyard with the rest of the group.
Mista was rolling a big big snowball around while Fugo seemed to be rolling the one to go on top. "Yo Nara! Wanna help?" Mista called out. He wore his regular sweater and pants combo but added gloves just to get Bruno off his back. "Yeah! Yeah!" Narancia practically waddled over to see what he could do. "Okay little man, this is gonna be a big boy task, do you think you can handle it?" Mista held his shoulders in a mock serious.
"I can, pwomise!!" Narancia but on the most serious face he could conquer.
"You go around the yard and find two biggg sticks for his arms, okay?" Mista 'assigned' him.
Narancia then ran off to go find the two branches for their snowman. He had to find the perfect one for his bubbas no matter what! The little trudged around the yard near the fruit trees in hope to find some there. Each time he picked one up he would examine it closely before either throwing it away or taking it with it.
"I got da stuff!!" Trish came running out of the house all wrapped up in the same clothing but she also had a carrot, some coal from the fireplace, and a scarf (when looking closer Narancia realized it was Bruno's) for the to be snowman. It seemed that today only Mista was the big one. Giorno was inside being held by Bruno as he made dinner with Abbacchio.
Narancia looked up and ran back to meet up with her. "Trish! I got the arms fo' him!!" He showed the two off proudly. "Nara!" Trish set down the stuff and gave him a great big welcoming hug. He didn't mind, he liked the platonic affection.
"Thanks Trish! Let's put this thing together now! You ready Fugo?" Mista looked over to Fugo who was now laying down in the snow looking at the clear sky. He laid there for a few seconds before sitting up and nodding. When he stood up he smacked the snow off his coat then shook like a wet dog.
Since the group consisted of mainly littles, Mista did most of the work. He held Fugo's hands when he pushed on the torso and lifted Trish up to help her put the head on. Fugo was about to put on the final touch, the carrot. "No!! I wan to do da nose!!" Narancia pouted and started throwing a fit by stomping his feet and whining.
"No!" Fugo wasn't much of a talker when little especially when arguing. He hid the carrot in his coat and turned away from him. "Mista!!! I wan to do ittt" Narancia started crying and sat himself down on the snow. Trish looked at him with a sympathetic look, "Nara.. don't cry" She sat down next to him and put a hand on his arm.
Mista consoled Fugo from the little argument to make sure he was alright before turning to Narancia. "How about you all put the nose on? Then we can get Dada and Abba to come check it out!" Mista hoped that would make an agreement between them. Narancia looked up at them and sniffled, wiping his eyes to make the tears go away. "Okay.." As he said that Mista held his hand out to help him up. "We can't do that just yet though, you need to apologize for yelling at bubba okay?" He said.
Narancia frowned but nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry bubba, want to do it together wif Trish?" He said. Fugo looked away like he was thinking then slowly held out the carrot. "Fine.." As the carrot got taken away Fugo flapped his hands.
"There you go guys! Now let's finish him up!!" Mista received the carrot from Narancia then pulled on the gun from his pants pocket. "We're gonna need help from these little gremlins" Mista pulled out the chamber of the gun and all six bullets came running out cheerfully. To fit the weather they were all dressed up in little gloves and scarves.
"Yay!!" Number 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 went flying around the littles, going onto their faces and hopping onto the snowman. They were definitely ready for the winter. "Stopp the tickles" Narancia giggled as Number 5 made his hat the bed of the day. Definitely not ready..[*]
"Okay, let's all stand in the middle and push the nose in alright little dudes?" Mista made sure all the littles got a place in front of the snowman and got to hold the carrot. The stand(s) were behind the flat side/bottom of it so it'd be easier for them to push it into the snow. "One... Two.. Three!" Mista announced and the finishing touch was finally put on.
"Booyah baby!!" The stands did group handshakes as a celebration before running back to check out the final product. The snowman was finally complete with eyes, nose, mouth, arms, scarf, and coal clothes. "Yay!!" Mista initiated the group high five between them all.
"Look what you guys made! Should we go show Dada and Abba?" Mista stood triumphantly as he looked at the snowman. "Yeah!!!" Narancia and Trish yelled and started running for the door. "Wait guys!!" Fugo chased after them so he could tell his caregivers to.
Mista looked at his teammates with adoration then soon followed them into the house. "Stomp your shoes off at the door!" He reminded them before they stepped into the clean floor.
"Dada!! Abba!!" The littles stomped the snow off their boots then ran into the kitchen yelling. The house was warm and the smell of dinner spread throughout the kitchen. Bruno paused stirring the soup and held Giorno just a bit closer to his chest. Abbacchio on the other hand looked ready to scold them.
"Look! Look at our snowman!!!" Narancia was jumping up and down while flapping his hands. Mista followed in behind them, sure to stomp his own boots off and shut the door properly. "They worked so hard for you guys" Mista leaned against the door frame with a grin on his face.
"Hmm how about it little bug? Love?" Bruno used one finger to tickle Giorno’s face then looked up at Abbacchio. "Show us the way" Abbacchio let a small smile show and shut off the stove. "Yayy!" Trish and Narancia squealed as they ran outside. Fugo had his thumb in his mouth as he held onto the back of Narancia’s coat and followed after him. While Mista and Abbacchio went outside, Bruno stood in the doorway so little Giorno wouldn’t get too cold.
"Did you guys do this all by yourselves! It looks amazing! What is its name little ones?" Bruno asked as he gently bounced Giorno up and down. The three littles looked at eachother once they realized they didn’t make a name for their snowman. "I dunno" Narancia mumbled followed by a ‘me either’ from Trish and a head tilt from Fugo. ",,,Mr. Gio!!" Narancia finally spoke, the snowman was now a gift dedicated to their bubba!
"Mr.Gio? Do you hear that little bug, they made that for you!" Bruno cooed. "That’s very thoughtful of you guys" Abbacchio added fondly and put a hand on both Trish and Narancia’s shoulders. He knew Fugo wasn’t much of a touchy-feely in and out of little space.
Speaking of him, the little soon sneezed and whined when it hurt his nose. "We should start getting you little guys inside so you can warm up and eat some nice food, sound good?" Abbacchio gently nudged Trish and Narancia in the direction of the door. "Otay!! Can I have some hot chocolate?" Trish held onto her Abba and decided to follow him inside the house. "Same!! I wan some to!" Narancia raced off to go inside. Fugo followed them silently as he sniffled then gently huffed out of his nose. Mista walked inside and finally Bruno once he made sure everything was okay and the door was locked.
