More Than Snow [ONE-SHOT]
Description
What really defines a beast? What sets humans and animals apart? What makes one better and latter, less? Few wonder about these questions, as it is not a concept that involves their physical well-being. Why waste our time thinking about something so different from ourselves?
But if, by our judgment, love is not discriminating against gender, race, or age, then why should it be confined by appearance? Why should it set rules against what acts are right, and what actions are unworthy? If two beings love each other, should either be told that dangerous circumstances created by other humans disallow the development of their feelings?
If one were to die, and the other to kill, does it make their love unworthy…unclean?
Tainted?
Corrupted?
Maybe the snow isn’t pure based on the white glow of its tragic fall to an earth where its beauty is wasted. No, it’s pure based on the life it lived… short… and uneventful.
Minho believed that maybe a snowflake’s life was much like his.
Accidental. Random. Lost.
Not only that, but it never seemed to be significant, even with its abnormalities compared to the perfected shapes of the other snowflakes. If one snowflake looked ugly, would one discover its presence amongst other beautiful snowflakes? Would anybody realize its absence?
Perhaps, even, snow itself comes unnoticed, and leaves without a trace.
Snowflakes touch upon the ground as lightly as a feather, and leaves as hastily as running water. This was Minho.
Or rather, this was Minho without Taemin.
Foreword
Hey :) I'm writing this story for a contest called "Cold Hands, Warm Hearts" @ (http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/95419/cold-hands-warm-hearts-writing-contest-2min-contest-friendship-romance-shinee-taeminho-) and using the prompt "My kisses touch the ten billion snowflakes in hopes that one of them reaches you." Regardless, I hope that everbody reading this story enjoys it :D

“What if I’m not like you? What if my slit pupils are not the only thing that sets us apart?”
Taemin looked up at Minho, through the glass window, and tried to make eye contact, but Minho refused to look him in the eye.
“I don’t need you to be like me.”
“You don’t understand how dangerous ‘not’ being like you could be. The problem with me is…I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” Shyly, Minho peered at Taemin from behind his long lashes. Was he ashamed… or was he frightened? He would’ve never thought that falling in love would be a possibility for one that lived a life like his.
“Do you think it’s going to be dangerous?” Taemin asked, wanting desperately for Minho to hug him. The world was ignorant to these two people, and for so long, he had been alone. His heart ached for someone to enter his life, someone he could love. And now, someone has entered, but refuses to stay.
Minho didn’t say anything, but a mere nod from him confirmed Taemin’s suspicions.
“Why really, are you here?”
“You don’t need to know. All you need to know is that I can’t leave.”
