Sitting By the Fireplace

On a warm, dark wintery evening, the fishermen's boat were heavily decorated with tinsel and Christmas lights, looking like the Ghost of Christmas Present had flown by. The fishermen and their families were all snuggled in their homes, cuddling up in front of their fireplaces and enjoying some hot cocoa.

Deep under the icy water, which hasn't yet frozen fully, a warm glow illuminated a certain red head's home as candles burned in almost every window the sea wizard had owned. There was a fireplace made out of stones in the main area of the house as a tall pine tree stood by the fireplace. A warm red couch and matching armchair circled around the blazing fire, casting dark shadows along the walls.

Fujimoto hummed as he crept up to a lone dark figure sitting at his desk, slipping his arms around the figure's waist. He frowned when said figure didn't flinch.

"What are you doing?" Fuji rested his chin on his lover's shoulder as he peered at what said lover was working on.

"I'm trying to remember the stretch-and-pull spell...for the clothes you want to...you know...keep for later on..." Howl scratched his head in frustration as he stuck his tongue out, mumbling a little while tapping his pencil on the desk.

Fujimoto chuckled, running his hands down the raven haired's burgundy sweater, "Come and take a break~ You shouldn't be stressing at this time of night."

Howl grunted then sighed, smirking, "Alright." The red head slipped his hand into the raven haired's, leading his lover over to their sofa by the fireplace. Howl craddled Fuji in his lap as he wrapped his arms around the red haired's waist, placing his hands on his lover's soft swell under a red and white sweater. The raven haired nuzzled Fujimoto's neck as he buried his nose in red locks. The red haired smiled as he leaned his head against the back of the couch.

"I love you so much..." Howl growled as he sighed contently.

Fujimoto giggled as he shifted to get more comfortable, "I love you Howl..." He moved to the side a little and captured Howl's lips in a heated kiss as he held the raven haired's face with his hands. Howl moaned as he slipped his tongue into the red head's open mouth, slipping his cold hands under Fujimoto's sweater.

The red head shivered, hissing, "You're hands are so cold..."

Howl chuckled, slipping his hands out from under Fuji's sweater then putting them around his lover's torso, "Then why don't we get warm and toasty in our bed?"

Fujimoto grinned, moaning, "Yes."
