Warnings: not really much to warn on this one but maybe for its cheesiness.
The wind, cold and ever current rushed through you as you walked the streets, another busy day helping your friends with running errands. No one could come with you as they all had their own tanks at hand but it didn’t bother you much. Your headphones covered your ears, adding a bit of warmth, and blocking out the repetition of Christmas songs.
Your first stop is the grocery store! You rushed through the swaying doors sighing as the heat of the store brushed off the chill that lingered on your neck. Pulling out the list, you went from isle after isle, grabbing everything you needed, except for one more thing. Your eyes trailed the milk carefully not to miss a single item but as you looked, you couldn’t find one carton not even a half carton of eggnog. Who even likes egg nog you thought you yourself.
So you walked again, more slowly this time, your music paused to have a better focus. And thankful as you were because you finally spotted the last full carton. Rushing over, you went to open the door, but a hand held the door over yours at the same time. Warmer than yours. “You're freezing,” the voice said pulling back, you jumped at the new presence. Your eyes trailed up taking in the charming figure, charming may not have been the right word. Handsome could be closer, the thick winter coat that sat on his broad shoulders, his strong jawline, even to the black beanie that sat at the top of his head. Handsome you thought. His captivating eyes widened slightly with concern, over your cold hands or for scaring you, you couldn’t tell. As if realizing what he said his ears burned red.
“Sorry you go first,” he said politely, trying to ignore the heat of his face.
Cute, you thought to yourself. You nodded, reaching for the eggnog, a small sigh left his lips, if you hadn’t turned your music off, you’d missed it. With the carton in hand, you quickly turned to meet him, “Sorry did I grab what you needed?” You asked ready to hand it over to him. His hands immediately shook away the idea, “Oh no please take it,” he said politely, before you could say anymore a voice called for him. “Chan! Let’s go!,” he turned around quickly, nodding at you before rushing off to wherever.
You shrugged a missed opportunity to flirt you thought to yourself. Crossing off the grocery store off your list you went to the bakery next, apparently not only would you have to carry the grocery but now a full cake, you sighed, the piercing cold burning the bags into your hands, “I should have worn gloves,” you said to yourself opening the door of the bakery a sweet smell of sugar and flour wafted through the area.
“Hi I’m here to pick up for Lee,” you said at the same time as someone else, you quickly turned to your left and it was the Chan guy. He blinked laughing to himself, “What are the odds?’ He said quietly, You smiled at him, “You're not hunting me down for the eggnog are you,” you asked raising your eyebrow at him.
He laughed a bit louder, “What! No way, I promise, I’m not that much of a fan,” he said, collecting himself, “My friends are throwing a Holiday party and I was tasked to get the eggnog but apparently someone on the errands team beat me to it,”. You nodded ready to respond but your phone rang.
The contact name Lee Felix popping up, “Y/nnie, sorry for all the confusion but you don’t have to get the cake anymore! A friend of mine is actually picking it up,” he said rushing.
“Would this friend happen to be named Chan?’ You asked, Chan's eyebrow raised in confusion at the mention of his name.
“Yeah that's him, how’d you know?” Felix asked.
“Oh, I have my ways, I’ll see you later,” You said your goodbyes hanging the phone up quickly.
“Guess I’ll see you tonight,” is all you said rushing out of the bakery to change. You weren’t that excited about the party before but now the cold air seemed a lot more alive with possibilities.
You dropped off the things at Felix’s rushing back to your own place, to fix your hair and change your once comfy outfit to something slightly more put together, “What’s got you in such a good mood?” Your roommate asked, “Just in the holiday spirit,” you hummed to yourself, applying your makeup just right.
And now at the party you stood in a corner, not knowing what you’d say or how you’d approach him. You were so confident in the bakery, mysterious some would say but right now your mind ran a mile a minute. What if he has a girlfriend? What if you weird him out by knowing his name? What if-
“Hi,” a voice called over the music, your eyes shot up to him again. His long brown hair styled to the back, a cozy sweater layed around his body, and that grin that you couldn’t help but think about, “Hi,” you said back quietly.
“So how do you know Felix?” He asked standing next to you with his own drink in hand.
And after that, it was like every nerve in your body dissipated. You’d laughed at his dumb jokes and he teased you at your own, lost in your own bubble as the festivities roamed around you. Both leaning into each other one small step at a time. Once strangers now not so strange. “Do you perhaps want to dance?’’ He asked as the music slowed down. You took his outstretched hand as he pulled you to the middle of Felix’s living room, swaying softly as you both twirled.
“What are the odds we run into each other, and happen to have the same friends?” He asked his hand, politely rest on your waist, as his other held yours.
“Hmm the same odds as you saying my hands are as cold as Antarctica,” you quirked back. Laughing at his shocked face.
“I did not say that,” he said twirling you around.
You laughed, “Oh but that’s how I remembered it,” he rolled his eyes playfully, “Well let's hope you remember tonight, I don’t want to be accused of being a vigilante for eggnog,” You nearly cackled at that, such a sassy man you thought to yourself.
“Well, how do my hands feel now vigilante?” You asked giggling as you lost yourself in his eyes. “Hmm,” he said to himself stopping as he twirled you around and going for a small dip that took your breath away.
“Soft,” he said quietly as he stood you upright.
“Guys! Come quickly the first snow is happening!” Someone yelled, Chan motioned his head over and you nodded. Following him with your hands still wrapped in each other's, soft and warm lead to the winter view. You both somehow got a good look out the window, the quiet winter coming in full force as it fell from the night sky.
No matter how many times you’ve seen snow fall or felt the way the flakes melt onto your skin. It was always something magical about it all, the cold air seemed worth it, the warm drinks seemed warmer, his hand seemed softer. For the first time, maybe you’d come to believe in silly superstitions. Your eyes looked at Chan, who already had his eyes locked towards you. You both smiled at each other, I wonder if he’s thinking the same thing, you thought to yourself.
“Mistletoe!” Someone yelled out pointing above your heads.
You both looked up the bright red berrys clumsily hanging from the window, his hand tightened around yours your eyes trailing towards his, slowly your body moved closer,
“Maybe,” he started his breath blowing softly towards your face,
“It’s bad luck if we don’t,” you said letting your head tilt lips leading towards his,
“okay,” he said as his lips met yours.
Soft, was the first thought, the theme of the night, as your lips hesitantly, carefully took in each other. It wasn’t a kiss full of fear, but care, your lips hoping to hold onto this fresh feeling that if legend was true wouldn’t be fleeting. And as his hand circled your waist pulling you closer it felt everlasting in that moment. He pulled back letting his forehead rest against yours.
“God I love the holidays,” he said with a look of peace. You laughed as some of the other partygoers whistled at your kiss. “Would you,” you both started laughing as you talked over each other, “You first,” you both said again. You pulled back, letting your lips zip as you motioned him to talk first,
“Would you perhaps wanna go on a date?” He asked hesitantly.
Your smile widened, “Long as you're okay with going out with someone with Antarctica hands,” you joked back.
He laughed letting his tongue poke at his cheek, “I didn’t-“ he stopped himself before picking you up to swirl you around,
“Okay, okay, I’ll go out with you,” you said with laughter as he brought you down, “Good,” he said smiling in your eyes.
