Kenshin heard Kaoru come in and when he went out to greet her she was already shrugging out of her jacket. She smiled for him and when he went to hug her he could feel the last vestiges of the winter wind dispersing into the warm air. Her fingers tugged at the hem of his shirt but he was much more interested in her smile.

When she gave him a kiss, her lips were still cool.

"You're chilly," he told her with a smirk.

Kaoru hummed in agreement. "I forgot my gloves today."

"Your hands must be…" he trailed off when he saw her smile turn a little too innocent, "freezing…"

Kenshin eyed her warily before everything clicked into place. His reaction was instantaneous.

"Kaoru, don't you da-aaaaaahh!" His back arched immediately when his protest came too late. The fingers that had been fiddling with his shirt snuck up and underneath the cloth to press ice cold hands against the warmth of his back, splaying wide enough for fingers to drift just beneath the waistband of his pants, teasing.

Kenshin hissed and tried to twitch away but Kaoru just snuggled into the hug.

"Mmm," she murmured happily, "nice and warm."
