"Phoebe, this is so stupid!" Ryan grumbled, burrowing further into the collar of her coat, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. "There isn't even enough here!"
Phoebe rolled her eyes, already piling the snow into a corner of the Evans' driveway with a shovel.
"Stop whining and help me, Ryan! There's plenty of snow here to make a snowman!"
"And how old are we turning this year?" Ryan muttered, grabbing another shovel out of the garage to help.
She bent over to scrape the snow from her side over to Phoebe's pile, and then looked up, startled, as bright lights flashed before her eyes. Jinx's car was pulling slowly into the space.
Straightening up from where she was bent over, Ryan tried to blink away the spots of light that danced in front of her eyes, smiling at her boyfriend as he got out.
"Hey," he greeted her, waving slightly. Ryan opened her mouth to reply, but gasped as she realised what he was wearing.
"Are you crazy?" she demanded, rushing up to him and poking him in the chest. Jinx was wearing only a black vest over his jeans. "Where's your coat?"
"Got dirty," he shrugged, lips twitching at her expression. He came forward and hugged her. Ryan smiled, muzzling his chest gently with her head.
"You wanna warm me up?" he asked, his lips at her ear.
"Maybe later," Ryan replied coyly, stepping away. "Right now I'm busy doing slave labour for your sister."
Jinx looked over to where Phoebe was trying to keep her tottering pile of snow together and smirked. "So I see."
Suddenly, Phoebe whipped around and glared across at them. "Jinx, Ryan! Stop cuddling and help me! Or better yet, take your romancing inside and make out!"
Ryan looked up at Jinx and he glanced down at her slyly.
"Make out?" he asked casually. Ryan nodded, smiling. Jinx wrapped an arm around her shoulder and they started back towards the house as Phoebe resumed her frantic screaming behind them.
"Oi! I didn't mean that literally! Hey-!"
They ignored her, Ryan hiding her face against his shoulder to stifle her laughter. Jinx closed the door and led her into the living room where an invitingly warm and soft couch was waiting…

A/N:- My favourite story in the whole 'Point Horror' series is 'Fatal Secrets' and I've always loved the pairing of Jinx and Ryan a lot, so I'm glad to finally write some fics on them. ^_^
