Day Sixteen - Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire


Characters: KyoKao

Genre: Fluff

Triggers: None


A crackling fire illuminated the tiny wooden cabin with a soft orange glow, casting long shadows against the far walls and sparking golden dust in the eyes that watched it flicker. Kyoya sat laid back in a love seat with a whiskey in one hand and a very relaxed Kaoru under the other. With his arm draped around his lover's shoulder, the two were able to sink into the quiet of night.

Kaoru lifted his wine for a sip and adjusted himself further onto the cushion. "It's supposed to snow tomorrow."

Kyoya raised a brow, "That it is. Why do you mention it?"

"I'd like to build a snowman tomorrow." Kaoru said confidently, peering up through his lashes at his fiance.

Kyoya sighed and lifted his drink for a sip, "Why do you want to build a snowman?"

Kaoru shrugged, "Why wouldn't you?"

"It's freezing outside, I don't want to get wet, and I have better ideas to use my time."

"Or, hear me out," Kaoru teased in his infamous tone, "You could stop being a scrooge and have some fun with me."

"I thought we already had fun." Kyoya looked down with an arched eyebrow and a knowing smirk.

Kaori rolled his eyes, "That's completely different. Come on, build a snowman with me."

Kyoya sighed as he swirled the remaining brown liquid in his short glass, staring at the fire before them while lost in thought. Aftera few moments he conceded, "Fine, but only if we're not outside for too long. I don't want to feel like an eskimo."
