your hands are freezing! let me warm them up. | maybe shes tugging him inside her room bc he just snuck over through the window like we talked so long ago about (in 90s verse ofc while shes kinda off and on with cal bc ooh thats fun >:) and they got to hide him away from ruth finding out too lol) but be my guest and totally change this around in their other verse if that one intrigues you more. :) up to u!! im open minded
jack gets halfway through the window, balancing on the sill, his torso already inside while his legs are still hanging, kicking helplessly, before @hearthymns grabs him by the sleeves of his well-loved jacket and pulls him the rest of the way in. he’d spent an hour or so waiting for her to get back home on the sloping roof outside her bedroom, freezing, but now that she’s finally here, he no longer minds the cold. he stumbles onto the carpet, catching himself on the dresser, almost knocking over some figurine, before he can fall face-first and make too much ruckus. his breathing’s a little too fast, too shallow, but his boyish grin is already blooming on his purple lips. “okay,” he whispers, straightening up and dusting off his jeans as if this whole clumsy performance was planned, meant to amuse her. “guess hanging off the side of your house in december wasn’t the brightest of my ideas. but just so we’re clear, i regret nothing.” he exhales a laugh under his breath as she takes his hands between hers. they’re stiff and red and trembling, tingling now that blood’s rushing back to his fingertips, and still all he can focus on is how beautiful she looks in this light. “i’ve missed you,” he murmurs, keeping his voice low as he leans in and captures her lips in a soft kiss. and then another one, and another one. each sweeter than the one before it. “how was your day? i want to hear all about it.” asking in between kisses, forgetting how cold his hands are, he frees one of them and lays it on her cheek.
