When winter comes…

No character indicated in particular! Just a bunch of general fluff

• It’s a time when you’re outside, and your hands get cold and a little bit numb - they intertwine your fingers together, asking if you want to hold hands to warm them up.
• Their fingers are cold too, but it’s true that it doesn’t feel as numb when you lace them together, and slowly you get the feeling back in them.
• You still keep your hands linked afterwards, even if they aren’t freezing anymore
• Imagine sitting by a window with them at a cafe, hot chocolate and marshmallows in your mugs as you both watch the snow drift about outside.
• Your friends ask when you two plan to go out to join them - your partner simply says you’ll do so after you finish your drinks.
• You don’t miss the way they take a small sip, smiling as they asked if you preferred the warmth of the building. They prop their chin on their palm, leaning against the table to fix you with glittering eyes.
• Hmm, who’s the one that doesn’t want to go out? “I guess I’d like to stay in here a little longer.” You said amusedly.
• Imagine sitting on the floor by the christmas tree - it’s not even the right time to open presents yet, but since you were so curious, they agreed to do so earlier with you.
• You’re a bit distracted by the gifts, smiling in a way they swear brightens up the room more than any light can - and then you pick up a box with their name on it, placing it into their hands.
• They blink, not expecting this - admittedly, they were simply happy with seeing your excitement with your gifts. It hadn’t occurred to them yet that they might be opening theirs as well.
• You’re looking at them with anticipation, making them laugh and unwrap the present carefully. Their eyes widen at the gift inside.
• Oh, this was your present to them, wasn’t it?
• Imagine talking to them and not knowing you were under the mistletoe - but when it’s finally pointed out they give you a tender hug instead, before placing a chaste kiss on your forehead and leaning away.
• The next times you end up like that again, they do different things other than the simple kiss on the lips - when you asked why, they simply said that if they did, they might be even more inclined to drag you under the mistletoe on purpose all day
• When you’re feeling a little lethargic, you’d bundle up on the couch or bed and spend hours like that together. Your legs are sometimes tangled or bumping against the other person’s, but considering how cold it was that day you didn’t really mind.
• Perhaps they might sing for you as you drift off to sleep, or read something aloud, or simple ramble as you’d requested because you found the sound of their voice comforting - to be honest, they’re not really sure who’s doing who a favor here, because when they see you sleeping so soundly their heart feels so much lighter.
• Imagine sharing a kiss just as the snow starts to fall outside - you laugh as your friends yell at you to go indoors, and your partner brushes the snow off of your hair and kisses the tip of your nose before you start to head back.
• You look forward to many more winters with them.
