Drabble 14: Keep Me Warm Inside

Snow fell from the heavens, coming to rest gently on the ground. The moon illuminated the sky softly, only serving to highlight the twinkling stars above. It was a beautiful night; one Salazar knew that he should be thankful for, but he couldn't help but loathe it.

It was cold, unbearably so, and he could already feel the beginnings of a cold stirring inside of him. Pouting, Salazar was not prepared for the solid arm that suddenly wrapped around his waist. Startled, he twirled around in the person's hold, an exasperated sigh escaping him when he looked into the eyes of Godric Gryffindor. He hit the other's chest harshly, delighting in the small pout of indignation that took residence on his partner's face.

"Why are you so mean to me, love?" Godric questioned, his pout intensifying. Salazar looked away pointedly, yet he couldn't help the small smile that tugged at his lips.

"Don't creep up on me like that," he chastised - well, he tried to, anyway. He shivered violently, the breeze roaring around them. Godric held on to him tighter, leaning in to press a small kiss on Salazar's cheek. It was warm, wonderfully so, and Salazar found himself leaning into it. Godric chuckled, the sound reminiscent of bells. Salazar found it beautiful, although he'd never admit it.

"Are you cold?" Godric asked, his voice rumbling comfortingly right next to the younger man's ear. Salazar reluctantly nodded, his arms finally coming to wrap around Godric's shoulders. His pride was nothing compared to the cold. If he had to give in, then he would. Besides, it wasn't like this was a stranger. This was Godric. Out of everyone, only Godric would be able to understand his behavior.

Said man pressed his nose against Salazar's hair, gently guiding Salazar to rest his head on his shoulder. The snake went along with no protest, the cold managing to calm him down enough to actually obey. Godric smiled, holding his precious lover close.

This was how he hoped things would always be.
