*ahem* Rated K+


James loved winter. He couldn't place his finger on one thing that made him love it because he knew it was a combination. There was the obvious, it being the season when Christmas happened, that one day a year his parents were civil with each other and his mom actually took time off work. There were the scents that filled the air, the pine of Christmas trees, gingerbread cookies, hot cocoa, and warm fires. There was the snow, which was always fun to play in, whether it was hockey, making snowmen, sledding, or snowball fights.

But his favorite part was always at the end of the day, after the snowmen and snowballs and sledding and hockey, when he joined his boyfriend at the Knight household, Mama Knight already having huge mugs of hot cocoa ready for the two of them and Kendall's little sister Katie. Katie would go off and do her own thing, usually sitting at the dining table with a plate of cookies, while Kendall and James would head to the living room, sitting on the couch and watching the fire roar. The couple would cuddle, warming each other up more than the drink and the flames combined, enjoying the silence and each other's company. And while cuddling during the other seasons was pretty damn awesome, too, there was something about doing it during the winter that made it so much better.

Maybe that was why he loved the season so much, because the season of joy, snow, and evenings by the fire brought him closer to Kendall.
