Her cheeks were probably a shade not too far from her lovers hair, her cold mittens doing little onto heating up her flushed face, damn she hated this cold weather sometimes.

The burgundy scarf was doing nothing in keeping the heat inside her face. So wasn't the black coat. And the black sweater. And even the pair of shorts under her skirttights. Her ears were probably turning blue under the fuzzy earmuffs.

She suited up, for the snow, for the below 0 degrees; while Erza only fucking threw on a skirt and a turtle neck.

"How the hell aren't you cold!?" She inquired, still not believing how invincible he girlfriend was to things. You'd think she'd be used to it by now, this being their second year of dating after all.

The considerably underdressed girl simply shrugged, stopping in her track in overstepping in snow to glance back at her girlfriend. "Guess I'm used to this. I've taken more missions that I can remember that I've had to deal with these certain conditions."

Lucy almost rolled her eyes, but the little icicles kissing her eyelashes made that quite difficult. So she went with the next best gesture.

"It's literally freezing." With a wave of a hand, she spoke, a exaggerated tone just to get her point access. "I can't feel my fucking cheeks."

The sly smile she was given made her raise a brow, then the next thing she knew Erza was right infront of her, squeezing the apples of her cheeks. "Awh is cqute wittle lucy cold? Poor baby."

"Erza." she warned, despite the smile spreading across her lips and not moving an inch to get away from the weirdly adorable display of affection.

The redhead continued nonetheless, cooing like a damn fool. "Erzy will warm your cqute little butt up? Won't she now?"

A joyous giggle bubbled up from her chest, warming her cheeks as it slipped past her lips and leaving behind the little fog of condensation between the two. Erza continued to hold her cheeks, hands a bit cold but Lucy could hardly notice now, since the heat of the blush that graced her features was plenty enough.

"I love you." she breathed. Erza didn't miss a beat, giving her chapped lips a faint, chaste kiss.

"Oh but I do too, but so much, much more."
