#❄|| There's A Chill In The Air ( IC. )

[blueberrybladelemonade]

Winter's Warmth

aka Cae's

❄Winter Special❄

Summary: Going outside with Peppino as the first snow of the season falls, freezing hands and fluffy antics ensue. 

Contains: Good morning snow and quality time together, ice skating (poorly), mentions of that one song everyone seems to hate (you're wrong if you hate it lol), Hand holding and kisses, Fluff. 

The chill of the morning lingers, the tips of your fingers tingling as you stand in place. With another shiver you shove your hands into your coat pockets, tilting your head to look down the street as you wait. Everything as far as the eye could see was covered in a white glittering blanket of snow. 

A breath in then a puff of smoke escapes your lips as you exhale.

Thick clouds caused the sky look darker and calming. The early sunlight was soft and casted everything in a comforting grey as it peaked through the clouds. It barely warmed the back of your neck though, as another breeze seemingly chilled you to the core. 

You're snapped out if your thoughts at the sound of the door swinging open. You watch as Peppino turns the lock, jostling the doorknob to ensure it wouldn't open. Satisfied with this, he beams, making his way down the steps to you.

You smile at Peppino, wearing his jade green jacket along with the the cozy blue scarf you bought for him. Your neck prickles again at being exposed to the icy breeze.

Maybe you should've worn yours after all. 

Peppino leans in, greeting you with a loving kiss. As you pull away and look at him, noticing how dozens of tiny snowflakes had already dusted the top of his head and clothes. He smiles at you, both of you happy about this gorgeous view and seeing each other.

Snow crunches beneath your feet as you walk down the street together. Peppino holds your hand, occasionally looking to the side to grin at you. His hand is warm, a lovely and welcome contrast to the cold bite of the air. Gently his thumb rubs across your knuckles.

As another gust of wind blows through you, making your teeth inadvertently begin to chatter. 

"It's not-a that cold Y/N." Peppino replies, laughing lightly. Though his words betrayed him as Peppino shivers as well, huddling closer to you as you both continue your stroll. Wordlessly you smile as Peppino tugs your hand into his pocket. 

Everything as far as you could see was a placid white. Specks of color dotted the open fields as people strolled and trudged through the snow. The usual hum and whirr of vehicles was noticeably less as well. Either muffled by the snow or due to not wanting to leave the warmth of their homes, it was a welcome silence. 

Your stagger as a particular spot of snow was deeper than you expected. The grip on your hand tightened as Peppino tugged you closer to help you regain your step. "Careful mia cara". You mutter a "thank you", wincing as you feel snow enter and melt in your boot. 

Nearby you spot a bench, wordlessly changing direction to make your way to it. You and Peppino take a seat, farther from the people having a snowball fight in the distance. What you didn't expect was Peppino pull off his scarf before leaning against your head and shoulder to wrap the scarf around the both of you. He wraps an arm around your waist to pull you closer and nuzzles you. "You looked cold".

You could stay like this for hours, almost feeling glued to the bench. Or maybe that's because you started to feel numb from the waist down. Though an idea started to form in your mind as you recalled something earlier in the week.  

"Call me crazy...but I have an idea." You gesture a distance away, Peppino trying to decipher where you were looking. He quirks an eyebrow, giving up at only seeing buildings that have always been there. 

Though further in the distance, as he squinted through the snow, there was a massive tent in the open field.

Peppino shuddered and it wasn't from the chill this time. 

Che cavolo. 

* * * * * 

The rink was relatively empty with ice skaters. Though the few on the rink themselves were chatting and having a good time. Outside of the barriers were sparse groups laughing over their warm drinks and snacks. You led Peppino over to the long counter towards the left of where you entered. 

His feet felt heavy as he reluctantly followed you. Peppino decided that he would just watch you on the ice. There's no doubt you would be better at ice skating than him. 

The cashier across from you both was a woman with mid length brown hair with a streak of blue in it.

"Skates for two please." You chirp, watching as she turned her back to you, grabbing a few things from the shelf before setting them down on the countertop. After you hand her the money, the cashier tilts her head to the side in a gesture. 

“The lockers are on the far side, across from the drink stand." was all she said as you looked down at the two sets of skates, padlock, and key. 

"Y/N...this is-a bad idea." Peppino balks, eyes flicking to the ice rink then back to your outstretched hand holding the skates. "You are crazy if you expect-a me to put those on"!

You remain motionless in place, offering Peppino a nervous smile in response. As if that would persuade him. 

You remain motionless in place, offering Peppino a nervous smile in response. As if that would persuade him. 

"I've only-a done something like this years ago..." Peppino continues to protest, shaking his head and racking his brain for just how long ago he had went ice skating.

"Once." He finally replies.

More silence hung in the air as you both stared awkwardly at each other. A puff of frosty breath escaped Peppino's lips as he huffs at you. "Fine. If I fall and break-a my back, you're paying my-a hospital bill". 

You grin grows as Peppino finally takes the skates from you, sitting down on the bench to tie them on. Barely audible and almost a whisper you could hear him mumbling to himself "I'm-a too old-a for this shi-" You cheered more to yourself than anything as Peppino put them on, your eyes sparkling as Peppino finished tying his skates and wobbled unsteadily to his feet.

Peppino followed you to one of the openings in the barriers surrounding the rink. As the two of you entered the rink your leg nearly slid out from under you immediately. Peppino staggered as well, hand instantly gripping the fence perimeter.

"This is how I-a die. Not from stress-a induced heart attack, but from icy-a hell of slip and die." he snaps at you. 

Truth be told, you were also horrendous at ice skating. How you hadn't crashed to the ground yet -in the first minute- was a miracle in itself. 

Minutes passed like this, almost frozen in place as you both struggled to remain balanced. You looked down at your intertwined hands and your heart began to beat quicker. With another deep breath you took another tiny step on the smooth, freezing surface. 

And then you felt yourself slip and slump forward. 

"Merd-" was all Peppino got out before both of your skates shot out from beneath your feet, both of you crashing painfully to the floor. You let out a yelp as he lands on top of you.

Peppino groans then, “Mio dios! Y/N, are you okay?!” He hastily braced himself up and onto his hands, hovering over you concerned. 

"Mm-fine." You rub the back of your head, shifting beneath him to prop yourself up on your forearms. In a relieved sigh, Peppino let out a low nervous laugh, pushing himself back up to sit on his knees. 

"I told-a you this was a bad idea mia cara". 

You rise to your feet again, helping Peppino as well. Just as he's about to stumble again you catch his arms to steady him, giving a loud snort through your nose. You both grumbled, legs wobbling as Peppino struggled to keep his balance. His eyes darted to yours anxiously, waiting for your next movement. 

Your fingers gripped his forearms firmly, giving him a tentative smile as you released one of his arms. Instead you cautiously made your way to Peppino's side and took his other hand, tucking it into the crook of your elbow. 

He shot you a hesitant nod as your eyes met again before your feet pushed off. Now gliding across the ice at a snail's pace. 

For the next hour the two of you skated on the rink. Skate being a very loose term for the both of you. It was more appropriate to say stagger, face plant, and move at the speed of molasses on the rink. 

"See? I knew we'd get the hang of t-" you felt your foot get caught, abruptly halting you and almost launching Peppino straight into the rink’s perimeter fence. He yelped but your locked hands yanked him back with a stagger.

Unfortunately, Peppino lost his own footing, colliding with you. You exclaimed suddenly at losing your balance, tripping him over as you fell with him.

"Yeowch! Y/N!” Peppino groaned, lying flat on his back on the ice. He rubbed his eyes groggily, tilting his head to see you lying beside him, on your stomach. "I-a think we should quit. I'ma going to be sore for weeks".

Face still in your arms with the ice against your cheek, you groan in agreement, giving a thumbs up. 

* * * * * 

You leant your head against Peppino's shoulder, looking at the moon from the porch. The falling snowflakes shimmered in moonlight, making them look like tiny stars as the snow began once more. Above, massive cumulus clouds lazily rolled through the sky, their edges a bright white from the moon they hid. 

It had only gotten colder as the night crept on. In your free hands you both were holding a mug of your favorite hot drinks. Peppino gave a hum of approval as his head rested against yours. The comfortable feeling of shared warmth and company as the day drew to a close was all he wanted. 

"Even in this-a snow, I never feel cold when you're close to me." Peppino mutters. You tilt your head to face him, his face illuminated by the moonlight as he smiles warmly at you.  

Peppino drew his face closer, to the point you could feel his breathe down neck. You set your mug to the side and caressed his face. His skin was as cold as the snow on the ground as you let your thumb glide across his lower lip.

You meet his lips with your own in a kiss. Contrasting starkly to the icy chill around you, his lips were warmer than you imagined. 

As you both part for air, Peppino nudges you to your feet. "Come on amore, let'sa go inside".

The warm rush of air that greets you as you enter his house makes you sigh contently. You follow suit as Peppino removes his jacket and sets it on the nearby table. "I'll be right-a back." He tugs at your hand, directing you to the sofa.

As you sink into the couch you watch as Peppino disappears into the hallway, out of sight. The TV was left on, albeit on very low volume. Making out the words of the song playing had your lips twitch into a smile. 

I just want you for my own.

More than you could ever know. 

Very faintly you can hear the crinkle of a bag and footsteps draw nearer as Peppino returned from his room. 

"This is for you..." Peppino set a large bag beside you on the couch before taking a seat to the opposite side. He smiles as you open the bag, revealing a large fluffy blanket. 

In an instant you unfold it and throw your arms around Peppino, draping the both of you under the blanket. He laughs before sputtering, "Get your-a cold hands off-a me!" he playfully swats at your hands. 

Ignoring his protests, you attempt to put your hand under his shirt again but are stopped as he grabs your wrist. You both smile as Peppino plants a kiss against your palm and pulls you into his lap. 

"I love you Y/N." He holds you just a bit tighter as he says this. In response you touch your forehead to his, kissing the bridge of his nose.

"I love you too, Pino".

Peppino enjoys being by your side and always will, you would never doubt that. As this year draws to a close, you look forward to the year ahead and also to another year of being with the one you love. 

Your eyes feel heavy against his embrace, warm and loving. You feel Peppino shift until you're both laying down on the couch. His arms remaining wrapped around you, buried in your neck as you both drift off to sleep.

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

@frozenmemoriies is jonesin’!

“Huh. You related ta Tails ‘er somethin’, man? Just askin’ ‘cuz of…Y’know.”

Cocks his head towards the two fluffy tails behind him. Probably not, but hey. Had to ask.

{彼が語ります}➺ “No I’m no-- what the fuck are you...?”

❄ Aqua

{XX}

❄ – rub ice on skin

"Are you sure that’s going to work the way you want it to?” The skepticism in her voice was difficult to hide as she eyed Larxene fishing around a bowl of ice with her gloved hand, apparently trying to pick just the right piece to let tonight’s game begin. It wasn’t until Aqua looked away, specifically at her own partially naked body, that the blonde made her move, quickly taking her frozen fragment and delicately running it across the exposed skin of the others breast.

The sudden intense chill sent a variety of mixed signals to Aqua’s mind, confusing her mouth and throat as to whether she should gasp, scream, moan, or shout from the touch, and instead settled for a sharp intake of air as her eyes opened wider than she had thought possible.

[queenofbaws]

❄️ !!!

((“I had a nightmare.” Send me a ❄ and I’ll write a quick drabble based off one of the lines!))I.

Theyawake in the small hours—the inscrutable time where it’s impossible to parsewhether they’re closer to night or day—to the sound of screaming. There isn’ttime to think, there isn’t even time to listen,there is only time to react, and so they jump from their respective beds; onestumbles, one all but flies with fear, and one charges with weapon in hand.

Itisn’t until their doors are open that they recognize the shrill shriek for whatit truly is—a brutal gale of wind whistling through the narrow corridors. OnlyAeleus is strong enough to keep his bedroom door from slamming back in hisface, though he still spares a quick glance to the other side of the hall wheretwin slams are punctuated by twin thumps as Ienzo and Even prove too weak.

Thereis one of their number who is conspicuously absent amid the squall.

Aeleusforces his way forward, presses himself flat to the walls as he sidles to thefourth door, and begins to pound with all his might. There is a long momentwhere he feels his footing begin to slide, feels the wind shoving the mass ofhis body like some thug picking a fight—and then, as suddenly as it begun, itends. The sudden shift in pressure leaves him feeling choked, almost strangled,as though all the air had been vacuumed out around him.

Aftera beat, the door swings outward. Dilan appears, disheveled and disoriented,eyes open but only half-seeing. II.It’s not all at once that they wake up, rather, it’s Dilan who seems to noticefirst. He’s startled from his sleep as though by a crack of thunder, but as hestrains his ears, he’s met with nothing but silence. As the sleep begins totrickle away from him, his awareness returns, and it’s then that he realizeswhat’s amiss.

In frontof him, his breath plumes in great, thick clouds. He inhales sharply and thesheer chill of the air sends daggers throughout his chest; he’s coughing andcoughing and coughing, but the cold is so intense that his throat almost won’tallow him to draw in another breath.

Hecan barely make out the geography of his room by the light of the moon, whichis strange in and of itself until his vision sharpens and he sees the frost.It’s crept across the panes in thick, skeletal veins, splitting out into fractals—delicatebut barbed. And as he steps out of bed, his bare feet find that it has spreadlike some sort of translucent ivy, crisscrossing his floor, his walls, thebedside table; in his surprise he knocks over a forgotten glass of water and ittopples to the floor, shattering but not spilling, instead sending shards ofglass and ice clattering across the room.

There’sa dull stabbing sensation in the sole of his foot as he steps on somethingfrigid, and he knows that once he thaws out it will blossom into somethingpointed and painful. His footing slips, but he catches himself against hisdoor. The knob sticks no matter how hard he turns it, and he suspects that it,too, is frozen. He jams his shoulder into the door with all his might but itdoes not budge, likely swollen in its frame. “EVEN!” he shouts instead, chest straining against the chill, earsringing as he absolutely decimatesthe silence of the Castle. And then again, for good measure, “EVEN!”

Fromsomewhere down the hall, muted by walls and doors, there is a sound. It’ssmall, but it’s there. The next moment, the ice begins to sweat, begins todrip, begins to run, and Dilan finds he can breathe again.

Thedoor opens more readily now, and he pushes his way into the hall, acutely awareof the smear of blood he brings with him. In the middle of the corridor—infront of Ienzo’s door, his brainnotes with a bitter note of specificity—Aeleus and Ienzo shiver. There’s astrange, uncomfortable clicking sound that appears to be Ienzo’s chatteringteeth; there are small patches of frost dusting the tips of Aeleus’s hair,aging him prematurely. They both look exceedinglyunhappy as they exchange looks with Dilan.

Theyturn to train their eyes on Even’s door, waiting for him to appear, waiting forhim to explain himself, but he never does. III.

Sansdecorum, sans warning, Even is flung from his bed. He makes an indignant soundas he collapses somewhere between his bedframe and the wall—or at least he thinks he does. He had only just entereddeep sleep, and being jarred so suddenly from it has dulled his ability tothink. All he knows is that he was inbed, but now he is not; he was asleep, but now he is painfullyawake.

Emphasison “painfully.”

Hetries to get to his feet but finds that he can’t. For a moment, he is seized byboth terror and an endless mental scroll of degenerative diseases. It isn’tuntil the lamp standing less than a yard from him is sent careening into theopposite wall that he makes the connection—the problem lies not in his own foundation,but the very foundation of the Castle itself.

Again,he tries to right himself, knowing full well that it’s a futile fight. Butalready he can hear the warning squeal of metal straining, can see the heavyframe of his bed inching towards him, and can see the disaster happening in hismind’s eye. His sense of balance is gone as the floor dips and bobs beneathhim, but the real panic doesn’t setin until a fine mist of dust begins to rain down from the ceiling. Then hewatches with wide eyes and bated breath as a crack starts in the far corner ofthe ceiling, spreading and widening and slicing its way down towards hiswindow.

Thenthe Castle seems to jump below him,and he’s sent flying again, crashing like a rag doll against his door frame.Moments later, an aftershock sends his bedframe shooting across the room, smashing into the wall he’d only justbeen thrown from. There’s a final, weak rumble, and then it’s over; he can hearthe Castle groan and moan as it settles back into itself, its bones creakingand thrumming like his own.

Bythe time his legs have stopped shaking enough to support his weight, Aeleus isat his door, looking tired and sheepish and offering to help fix what can besalvaged.IV.

Thereis someone standing over his bed.

Ienzodoesn’t just suspect it; he knows.

Thefigure is dark and opaque but also swirling like fog. Its eyes gleam orange andred and yellow in turn, burning like hellfire, glowing like embers. It hadstarted off in the corner of the room, couched in shadow, and he had watched,unable to move, as it took step after quiet step towards him. It brought withit the smell of carrion and vomit, acidic but sweet in a cloying, horrible sortof way.

Behindthe thing, the walls have begun to melt. The colors run and swirl likewatercolors, warping the frame of his window, the lines of his bookshelves, thevery shape of the room itself. The roof has disintegrated and he can see thesky beyond it, black and endless, gaping like the hungry mouth of a starvingpredator. Even as he looks, he thinks he can see teeth beginning to form wherethe rafters once were, dripping frothing saliva like rain.

Hecan’t take his eyes away from it, and knows implicitly that if he does, he willmost certainly die. His breath is lead in his chest, there are cords standingout on his neck, he can feel the burn of a scream somewhere locked in histhroat. He can’t move his arms or his legs or even open his mouth to call tothe others.

Thething creeps over him, and he can feel the mattress dip under its weight.Impossible as it is, he can still see its outline perfectly against the void ofthe sky, can see its shape glimmer in a way that is almost opalescent. He ispowerless to watch as it reaches out with hands hands hands too many hands, wrappingtens of hundreds of fingers around his throat, choking off what little airthere was left in the room, and then—

Witha start, he sits up. His hands are pressed to his collarbone, and he can feelhis heart racing; he thinks it might break through his ribs. The feeling isstill new to him, still alien, so he keeps his palms flush against his skinuntil he feels the rhythm begin to slow again.

I had a nightmare, he thinks to himself, andcringes internally. It was hours before he found himself falling back into arestless sleep, and even then, he finds himself wondering whether the knot inhis stomach is from how childish the revelation feels to him, or how deeply he doubts the truth in it.

❄🔥 — INASA / 「 garbageboys-thesequel 」:

Well, this was odd, he wants to laugh because it’s just so weird that this must be a joke but the atmosphere isn’t letting him smile at all. “She’s an inspiring hero, my classmate and our friend. Remember? We went to extra lessons together. I thought you two got along…” He mused and looked down at the other. 

The ice forming was making the air cold around them and made a chill run down his spine. He placed his hand on the others shoulders and pushed him back. “Here, you seem to be ill. Lets go get some medicine and I’ll help you back to UA.” He steps back and gets out his phone to google the nearest store that sells medicine.

                     Inspiring hero?

                                                           How important is she to you?

                Do you like her more than me?

                                             Y͜ou҉ ̡͜͟c͜a̧͟͡n̡’t̛̛ ̡͘͞ḑ̨͠o̵̕͟ ̕th̸͝à͘҉t́-̀͜͜-̵͝

          Words on his tongue and the ice forming halted momentarily, with him taken aback at being pushed away, almost bristling back up with anger before the other’s words pierced through his swarm of thoughts. 

          He’ll help me?��His gaze remained on the other a moment, feeling his heart skip a beat, a hand clutching over it. A smile slowly returned to his lips. No, no, even better-- A step forward, two, the distance closed as he wrapped his arms around the other again, looking up at him. “I don’t wanna go back to UA,” he said, making his voice small. “Can’t you take care of me instead? I trust you. I love you. Won’t you be my hero? Please?”
