❄️ Ask for my jacket (From Kaleb)
“The snow is always so beautiful this time of year...” Alice commented, not to anyone in particular, but she knew Kaleb had heard her. Her barely covered shins were practically chilled to the bone as they made their way down the cobbled laneway, and she’d been silly enough to forget a proper jacket at home. At least she’d had the sense to wear boots that had enough grip so as to avoid a slip on the icy patches. A slight shiver ran down her spine as the iciness well and truly hit her. Walking beside her boyfriend, she let outstretched fingers curl around his hand, relishing the warmth of his palm against her smaller one. Glancing up at Kaleb, she grinned, her heart flipping over in her chest, as it always had when she looked at him.
“I’m getting kind of cold,” She remarked, hoping he’d catch the hidden question. Alice then tugged him closer on a whim, really feeling the frost now. Carefully, she leant in as if to kiss him. “I’m getting really cold,” She murmured, all the while sliding his jacket off of his shoulders and arms. Once it was free, she snatched it away, dodging his lips at the last moment, playful giggles bubbling up from her chest. “Gotcha! You’re so easy, Kale. That’s the third time this week!”
Quickly, she slipped his jacket on, and hugged her tiny frame to lock in what little warmth was left as she let her eyes track the floating snowflakes in the air before her gaze landed back on Kaleb. Again, her chest fluttered with excitement, and happiness. She took a step closer to her again, this time intending to stay next to him. “Promise you’ll keep me warm?” She asked quietly, her nose grazing against his and a soft smile decorating her features. Alice didn’t have to wait for an answer; Kaleb was hers, and she was his. Even if it was just for right now. Standing on her toes, she let their lips press together in a deliciously frozen kiss.
For the first time in a long while, Alice was truly content.
