Ichigo set his cup down and stood up from the couch. Shiro looked at him with a confused look in his eyes.

"I'd better get going." Ichigo said. Shiro frowned then pointed outside.

"But look how cold it is, the fire here is so much warmer." Ichigo shook his head slightly.

"Shiro, I have to go." Shiro stood up from his spot on the couch and stood in front of him.

"Come on Ichigo look outside. It's a freaking blizzard!" Ichigo looked at Shiro and stared at his gold on black eyes.

"I have to get going, it's Christmas eve if I'm not back Yuzu will have a fit." Ichigo explained. Shiro grabbed his hands and frowned.

"See it's so cold your hands are like ice!" Ichigo blushed and pulled his hands away.

"I'll be fine Shiro, but I really have to leave! Dad will start assuming things again and that would mean bad news for us."

"Let him assume, whats the worst that could happen?" Shiro asked.

"W-what!? He will tell everyone we know about us and I mean everyone." Shiro shrugged and smirked.

"Come on, how about one more drink?"

"Fine then, why not?"

Ichigo swallowed the last of his drink and Shiro smiled. Ichigo frowned at him in confusion.

"What?"

"Oh nothin'."

"Hmm. Ah crap I'd better head out." Shiro shook his head.

"Seriously? The storm is only getting worse. If you leave now you will catch pneumonia or something!" Ichigo rolled his amber eyes.

"Shut up. Can I borrow a coat?"

"Ichigo I just want you to stay a little longer." Shiro looked at him with a small pout. Ichigo shook his head.

"No, no, no Shiro. I've got to go!" Shiro scooted closer to him and looked at his amber eyes.

"But it's so cold!" Ichigo blushed at Shiro's closeness and sighed.

"Shiro- What are you smiling about!?" Ichigo asked. Shiro smiled mischievously as he watched Ichigo.

"If I give you a reason to stay will you?" Shiro asked. Ichigo cocked his head and Shiro grinned. He leaned forward and caught Ichigo's lips with his own. Ichigo gasped at this action and Shiro took it to his full advantage by forcing his tongue into the others mouth. Ichigo pulled away panting and Shiro looked at him."So?"

"At least I can tell them I tried right?" Ichigo smiled softly and Shiro kissed him again.

"Yep and it is bad out there." Ichigo nodded.

"Yeah it really is cold outside." Ichigo intertwined Shiro's fingers with his own."I sure hope I can stay warm." Shiro hugged him and nuzzled into the crook of his neck.

"Don't worry Ichi you will stay warm as long as I'm here."
