extra prompts: eternal, midnight, spin
The icicles that hang down from the roof gleam against the colourful Christmas lights, as he watches the other boy spin around in the snow as it falls in a carefree manner. It's almost midnight, almost the day after Christmas, and Louis can't help but frown because he didn't get what he wanted for Christmas.
His eyes stay glued to Hugo. His hair has grown wildly since last year; it's almost to his shoulders, and Louis groans and falls backwards against the porch. His eyes move from Hugo to the sky and he wishes on the first star he sees for him.
He's been in love with the boy for years, but Hugo oblivious and thinks they're just best friend. He thinks that Louis only likes him in a platonic, brotherly way. If only, Louis sighs.
He lays there for a bit, before Hugo runs towards him and grabs his hand. Pulling him up on his feet, Hugo grins. "Let's dance," he winks in a way that makes Louis wonder just how oblivious Hugo really is and pulls him into the white snow fall.
It's cold, but the feeling of dancing with Hugo is one Louis will never forget.
Hugo spins them and spins them and they aren't dancing as much spinning anymore, and there's laughing and Louis is sure this as close to heaven as he'll ever get.
They fall into the cold, wet snow side by side, and Hugo laughs and Louis forgets to laugh because he's staring at Hugo. His breath is gone and before he realizes what he's doing, he leans over and kisses the other boy.
Hugo grins and says, "about damn time, Lou," before he pulls him back to him and kisses him again.
Best Christmas ever, Louis decides, as they roll around snogging in the cold snow.
Suddenly Louis doesn't feel so cold.
