Calm Winter Night
Nurarihyon no Mago: Yanagida x Ryuuji

Yanagida's arms are wrapped loosely around Ryuuji's waist, his head resting in his lap. Ryuuji sit up in the bed, leaning against the wooden headboard, which is cool against his back. His fingers are tangled in the youkai's hair, and his gaze is locked in the far distance, out the window and the dark sky is reflected in his dark orbs. The blonde is asleep, curled up under the sheets, and he does not see the snow as it start to fall in silence. Nor does he notice the light shudder that run through Ryuuji's body as the white fill the air. He carefully lift Yanagida's head and maneuvers it out of his lap, to slide down beside him. He pull the sheets up to cover them both properly, and Yanagida snuggled closer to him. Bells chime to ring in the Christmas, and Ryuuji wrap his arm around Yanagida to pull him closer. He continues to look out the window, then move his head to press his lips against the crook of the youkai's neck. Yanagida tiredly crack an eye open, lightly stirred awake by the tender touch. He look at him, and raise an eyebrow. Ryuuji rub his face against Yanagida's skin, and murmurs that it's snowing. Yanagida wonders if he's cold, and they wrap around each other. The sounds from outside vanish, and silence fall in the room. Yanagida brush a hand across Ryuuji's face, and he kiss him. He murmurs that if he wish, he will always hold him in his arms to warm him up. Ryuuji huff, turn around, but let Yanagida have his grip around him still. Yanagida press closer, and now it is Ryuuji who snuggle up against his chest, to be close to him.

Outside the hotel, snow twirl around in the rustling air, and those who are outside smile and laugh, cheering over the white Christmas. Inside the hotel, couples are huddled up against each other, more than a few couples in activities to keep them warm. In one room, the two resting have stilled, wrapped around each other in a soft embrace, shutting out the world from that of their own.
