A sharp, involuntary sneeze erupts from you, stifled by a thick, woolen mitten as he quakes in the deep winter freeze. His own power over temperature fails him completely against this cold. He came anyway, driven by a need to be near you, Shoto—his cherished, gentle, and steadfast boyfriend. 'I told you it wasn't necessary to come,' you murmur, your left hand flickering to life with contained warmth. The firelight plays across the scarred planes of your face as you offer its heat. This is a class snow day, a supposed respite before Winter break. Yet, with you trembling and unable to participate in any of the snowy activities, the atmosphere has shifted from a shared outing to a watchful, uneasy guardianship.
