The ball room had been decorated to look like a winter wonderland, thousands of icicle lights twinkled from the ceiling and soft Christmas music played in the background. Spinning Spud out onto the dance floor Ethan wished he could freeze this moment in time, it didn't matter that friends and family alike were all staring at them. All that mattered was Spud looking up at him with such happiness it made his heart ache. Smiling he leaned down to nuzzle into soft blond hair, murmuring, "are you having a good time?"
Humming as one of Ethan's hands stroked down his back Spud grinned at the other man's look of contentment, "I always have a good time with you Ethan." It was surprisingly easy to ignore all the eyes on them, here in Ethan's arms it felt like nothing could touch him.
Laughing Ethan tucked his hand inside Spud's back pocket, smirking at the other man's gasp he teased, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind for future dates."
"Maybe we should see how this one turns out first Sir, you wouldn't want to get ahead of yourself," dragging his fingers through the dark curls at the base of Ethan's neck Spud licked his lips as the other man shuddered, the hand on his back urging him closer with thrilling possessiveness.
"Tease," groaning, eyes fixed on Spud's mouth Ethan huffed when the smaller man snickered, clearly pleased with the affect he'd had. Looking around his lips twitched into a smirk that had Spud's eyebrows rising. Curling his hand around the other man's elbow and tugging him off the dance floor they were exiting out to the quiet cold of the balcony before Spud could protest.
"Why are we outside?" Scowling when Ethan's smirk only deepened Spud crossed his arms and pouted, "it's cold Sir."
Laughing softly Ethan pulled the smaller man into his arms, briskly rubbing his hands up and down Spud's arms, "I'll keep you warm tiger." Grinning as Spud's groaned at the cheesy line he carefully backed the other man up another foot, "and as to why we had to come outside, just look up."
Frowning Spud looked up, eyes widening at spotting mistletoe his heart jumped at Ethan's slow smile. Swallowing dryly he shuddered when Ethan cupped his face, fingers so warm and gentle against his skin that his eyes fluttered shut, voice breathless with longing, "sir, please."
Resting his forehead against the other man's Ethan breathed in Spud's shuddery sigh, "I love you Spud." Taking advantage as Spud's lips parted in surprise he dipped in and finally kissed the man he'd been in love with since they'd first met. Groaning at the first taste he tangled his fingers in Spud's hair and tugged the smaller man's head into a better position, tongues meeting in an explosion of heat he yielded control to Spud. Whining at the sharp nip to his lip he was lost to the roaring flood of lust as cold hands forced their way under his shirt and flattened against his skin.
Panting Spud drew back long enough to meet dark eyes blown so wide he couldn't tell where the pupil started, "I love you too Ethan." Laughing as Ethan lifted him off his feet and spun him around he sighed into the next kiss, no longer feeling the sting of cold.
