Falling for you

We always hear how dangerous ice can be but we never really register it in our heads do we? Well neither did Thomas. He started his day as he usually did. He got up at 8am put on the first thing he saw in his wardrobe and then wrapped himself up to go outside so that he could get his daily morning coffee from the Starbucks around the corner from his apartment.

He had watched the news channel the night before and he knew that there was snow on the ground from simply looking outside but he still didn't both wearing shoes with a better grip.

It started off okay he managed to get out of his apartment complex and walk down the street towards the coffee shop. There were a few people but not too many considering it was still early for a Sunday morning.

As he was nearing the Starbucks his feet started to slip underneath him. He tried to regain his balance but he had nothing to grab onto. He felt himself falling backwards towards the ground but his body never made contact with it. Instead he felt strong arms wrap around his waist and hold him up.

"Shit I'm so sorry!" Thomas said as he tried to scramble back onto his feet. He paused however when he got a good look at the man that had caught him. He was obviously part Asian and had beautiful dark hair than looked soft and fun to run your hands through. He tried to speak again but found that nothing was coming out.

"Are you okay? I saw you falling and managed to catch you in time. It's a good thing I did" the stranger said as he pulled Thomas to stand up straight. His hands never left Thomas' waist and the smaller man was thankful for that.

"Thank you" Thomas squeaked out. The stranger laughed at his shyness and finally let his hands drop from Thomas' waist.

"I'm Minho by the way" the stranger said as he held out his hand for Thomas to shake. Thomas gladly did and giggled to himself.

"I'm Thomas" Thomas said and let go of Minho's hand before he didn't want to let go at all. "I was just about to get coffee if you wanted to join me?" Thomas asked with a hopeful voice.

"Sure that'd be great!" Minho replied and followed Thomas into the coffee shop.

After ordering their drinks the two sat upstairs by the window and talked. They sat and spoke for over an hour and Thomas knew that he had never smiled this much in his life. He didn't want to say goodbye but he knew he should be getting back because his best friend Theresa was coming over at 12 o'clock.

"I'm glad I fell into your arms and not some creepy old guy" Thomas laughed as Minho helped him put his coat back on. Minho laughed along and then put his own coat on.

"Do you live far from here? I could walk you home if you'd like?" Minho asked as they walked out into the busy street.

"That would be lovely thanks. I only live around the corner" Thomas replied and they began to walk to short distance.

"We should do this again sometime" Minho announced as they neared Thomas' apartment building. Thomas stood on the step above the one that Minho was one and turned to look at the other man. He smiled and nodded his head in agreement.

"Defiantly" Thomas said as Minho started to give him his number. Once Thomas had saved Minho as a new contact he put his phone back into his pocket and smiled down at the Asian boy. Minho leant up and kissed Thomas quickly on the cheek before backing away with a smirk.

"Call me" He said and then walked away down into the street. Thomas lingered for a moment before breaking out into a huge grin and running up to his apartment.

He couldn't wait for Theresa to get there; he had so much to talk about!
