Bitter chill seeped past the cracks of the galley door, piercing through the heat given off by the small stove and slithering icily against the pale flesh of the blonde's feet, the black trouser socks no match for that frigid wisp of air.
Lifting the shivering limb, he proceeded to rub the chill away, sliding his foot harshly and briskly against the thick fabric of his nylon pant leg, never wavering even slightly in his appointed task of preparing cinnamon cookies for his crew.
Stepping back a few feet, he pulled open the door to the stainless steel oven with a thick red mitt, sighing softly as the dry heat wafted over his cool cheeks and nose, blanketing him in comfortable warmth as he placed the prepared cookie sheet atop the shelf.
As he lifted his hands to reach for the leftover ingredients, he was suddenly accosted by a great gust of painfully cold wind, the galley door bursting open, causing his hands to fly to his arms instead, rubbing viciously against the onslaught of the unwelcome temperature.
"Shit…" he muttered softly, turning his head to glare at whoever was responsible for the intrusion.
But before he could utter another word in protest, the weight of heavy fabric was placed atop his shoulders, warmth instantly flooding his being.
Strong, tan arms encircled his torso, pressing his back to a firm chest as heat passed from the green-haired first-mate to the now sighing chef.
His eyes widened for a moment before sliding closed at the sensation of searing lips at the back of his neck, teasingly tickling the base of his golden hairline.
"Merry Christmas, shit-cook…" were the only gruff words uttered by the larger man as he wrapped the shoddily knitted, baby blue blanket around the thin frame before him.
