Damn but it was cold. Havoc fumbled for a cigarette, hoping the tiny flame at the end would do at least something to warm his hands. Cig successfully in place he tried for a match with fingers that felt about twice their normal size. Cold did the damndest things to sensory perception, and it cost him a match or three dropped after an unsuccessful attempt at manual dexterity before he spat the cig out in frustrated disgust.

This just wasn't his day.

He stood at a parade rest, reliving every instant of the lost bet that had led to him taking this shift at the ass end of the day, when it was cold enough to freeze off a man's ba….

His thought trailed off, distracted by the smell of what he could swear was warm chicken soup. No. Couldn't be. It had to be some sort of cold induced hallucination. He caught movement out of the corner of his eye and snapped to attention, relaxing only when he saw Fury's rumpled form making its way in his direction, carrying a thermos.

"Shouldn't you be in bed, little one?" He grinned through frozen lips at Fury, who took the opportunity to shove the thermos into his hands.

"I know how you hate the cold. So I brought you some soup." Fury smiled quietly, and then pried mittens off of his hands. "Here." When Havoc just blinked at him Fury sighed, taking back the thermos for a moment to pull Havoc's hands into the mittens, which were warm with the smaller man's body heat.

Which gave Havoc an idea.

Ignoring the thermos for a moment he hauled Fury into a tight embrace. "You are warm." He explained in response to Fury's surprise. They spent a few long, very unregulation, moments like that, until Havoc pushed Fury away with a playful grin. "Get home, little one. I will see you soon as this damn guard shift is over."
