If there was one thing he hated aside from his body and his lack of swearing, it was when people he cared about would feel cold during winter and he couldn’t touch them cuz his body didn’t produce any heat and would only make them shiver worse.Since it was mostly acquaintances or “coworkers” at first he somehow took it

But then he met you, you actually understood him and comforted him when he finally opened about his past and why he hated IPC so much.How he wished things could go back to normal.He was quite surprised when you just listened and were there for him instead of immediately trying to come up with solutions.It was refreshing compared to most

And slowly but surely he seemed tiny bit softer around you, not without his unique swearing of course. Knowing his previous experience with winter he decided to get himself an upgrade just to keep you warm,an in built heater and oh boy was he glad cuz not only did you end up losing a snowball fight against him abysmally but the way you got cold since he hit all the right places(mostly neck I speak from experience🥶)was way quicker so he pulled you close despite your surprised look as you closed your eyes prepared for a chilly embrace but…you felt warmth instead..?

“Heh, partner, guess I’m runnin’ hotter than most these days”
