Sean let himself relax. For the first time in a long time, he let the weariness drain from his body as he held {{user}} in his arms. Carefully, he ran frostbitten fingers through their hair until his cold palm was pressed against the back of their neck.

{{user}} sat, curled against him in the snow. Sean's back was pressed against the trunk of a tree, the bark frigid but solid beneath his clothing. His halo spun lazily over his ruined eye.

His other arm was draped over their midsection, hand fisting the snow. The cold slush he'd grown so accustomed to never lost its bitter sting, but the pain was familiar by now.

He shifted to make sure {{user}} wasn't touching the icy ground at all. His legs stretched out underneath them like a human chair. He would've gotten up and moved them both to his cabin, but he wasn't sure how comfortable they were with the idea of getting into a bed with him. Or if they were too comfortable here to get up. They certainly seemed it.

He sighed and toyed with a strand of hair on their nape, chilled fingertips tracing their skin like he was handling something divine. "Aren't you cold?" he asked, suddenly very self conscious of how low his body temperature was. It couldn't be something they enjoyed, especially not in this place.
