Snow. He'd never actually seen snow in person before. Central's city didn't snow, nor did Incorporated's, and they had few reasons to venture into other Guardians' cities.
Well. Usually.
Marvin had gotten a wild hair and wanted to see something new, and of course Jackie tagged along!
The territory they'd ended up in had a blanket of snow over everything and a light powdering was still falling from the sky. The children seemed cheery, and the adults friendly to the strangers. They weren't sure what film or show the area was from, nor where or what its Guardian was, but its residents seemed perfectly fine with them being there.
Some of them had even run out with some winter clothes for them that…somehow? miraculously fit both of them? despite the fact Marvin could never find anything that fit with how damn tall he was? Jackie had just laughed it off, though his partner looked perplexed.
"This place is probably from some…I dunno, cheesy family holiday movie or a kid's show or somethin'. Y'know, the ones where everything seems too perfect, and only the Main has problems with shit or increasingly bad luck?"
Marvin laughed. "Yeah. That'd make sense."
Jackie knelt, running a gloved hand through the snow surrounding them. When he crunched his fingers around it, it held its shape. He couldn't help but grin as he picked up a scoop of it–
–And got nailed in the back with a snowball followed by the sound of his partner cackling.
"Did I actually hit you?! Hah!" Even behind his mask, Jackie could see the way Marvin's cloudy eyes squinted to match his smile.
The hero feigned offence with a hand rested dramatically over his heart. "How dare you attack when your boyfriend's back is turned?"
"Like you weren't about to do the same thing." Marvin tilted his head, baring his teeth in a wide grin.
"Can't prove it."
"Could hear you picking up snow, you know."
"Mm…nope." He innocently tucked the snowball behind his back.
When Marvin ducked down to scoop up more of the stuff, his cape–sticking out of the bottom of his coat–dragged through the snow. It clung to the bottom of the fabric when he straightened again, patting his gloved hands around the snow to press it into a sphere.
"Oh, yeah?" he challenged. He had a mischievous glint in his eye. "Didn't hear you drop it, love."
Jackie dived when Marvin's eyes started glowing (his hands probably were, too, but the mittens were hiding it), aura reaching out to pick up more of the snow around him to start throwing.
"Not fair!" The hero tried to sound upset. His laughter didn't make it very convincing. "You can't use your magic!"
"Says who?"
"Says…this!"
Jackie's snowball…completely missed.
Marvin about doubled over in laughter, aura dropping all of the snow it still had floating around him.
Jackie bent down to grab another, then lobbed it. It hit his partner square in the chest that time; that only made him laugh harder.
They carried on for a long while with the city's children occasionally joining in, only to run away giggling when magic snowballs chased after them.
When Marvin had finally had enough, he simply fell backward into the snow, sprawled out with a grin etched into his face. "Fuck, it's cold," he laughed.
"No shit." Jackie joined him anyway, waving his limbs into a lazy snow angel because hey, why not?
"Should we head back?"
"Mm…" Jackie rolled over and sat up on his knees, reaching for one of Marvin's hands. Both pairs of mittens were completely soaked through, as were their sleeves, the bottoms of their pantlegs, their shoes. Ew. Wet shoes. "Probably."
He pulled off one of Marvin's mittens to reveal pale fingers red with cold. His cheeks looked the same. Jackie probably matched, if he was honest.
Jackie placed a kiss on his partner's cold hand, then helped pull him to his feet. "How 'bout we give these people back their winter stuff, then head home for some…how's hot chocolate sound?"
"Mmm. That sounds delightful."
