Excerpt:
The only sound was the crunch of their boots sinking into the snow as Kim and Kevin walked side by side along the edge of the park. The search for evidence had brought them out of the warm interiors of their car, and Kim regretted every life choice that had led her to underestimate Chicago’s brutal winter that same morning. She wrapped her arms tighter around herself, her breath becoming white clouds in front of her face when she reached out.
“You look like a popsicle,” Kevin said, glancing at her.
“I’m fine,” Kim replied through a forced smile hiding her chattering teeth, clearly anything but fine.
Kevin gave her a knowing look. Without hesitation, he started shrugging off his coat.
“Don’t even think about it,” she told him in a serious tone, stopping in her tracks to shoot him a glare.
“Oh, I’m thinking about it.” He placed his coat over her shoulders before she could wriggle away.
Love comes and shows itself in different ways, this month Seasonal Delights Bingo will be hosting 'Types of Love Bingo' centering around different types of relationships and different types of love languages.
There are many ways that a person shows their love, even more ways that one is capable of loving another- however I decided to include five different types for this bingo. (Two different kinds of relationship, three different types of love.)
RELATIONSHIPS
monogamy - a relationship with only one partner at a time.
polygamy - having more than one sexual or romantic partner (most of the prompts for this category were written for 'polyfidelity' which refers to a group of three or more people who have a committed relationship with one another.)
TYPES OF LOVE
storge - familial love
philautia - self-love
philia - love without romantic attraction
At first, I had wanted to only include 'types of love' but considering that this is an event open to everyone it would have been hard to include 'eros' and I was not exactly sure how to include 'agape' either- we might do one that focuses on both relationships and types of love in the future but we shall see.
This time we have two different themes (dark & light) and two different sizes (mini 3x3 & maxi 5x5).
Every participant is allowed to request two cards in total.
The tags that we ask that you use for us to be able to re-blog your posts are; #seasonaldelightsbingo, #typesoflovebingo (don't forget to tag @seasonaldelightsbingo too!)
You can start posting whenever you would like to do so, there are no time limits to when you complete your card- but you won't be able to sign up for a card after February 28, 2024.

Summary: TK suspects Carlos may be sick because of the pollen season, so he goes to check on him.

TK heard from Michelle that Carlos hadn’t left his house in a couple of days during the shift.
They had hung out only a few times, so while they weren’t exactly a thing (TK wanted to think that yet), it obviously surprised him. Carlos had the face of someone who has never called in sick at work and has never missed a class in high school for being ill. So he decided to text him, and sent Carlos a casual “hey, how are you doing?”.
A false fire call and a gas leak later, TK got to check his phone while eating something that had brought a few arguments between Marjan and Paul. Carlos had replied that he was fine, and that told TK that he wasn’t working that day since Carlos never used his phone while patrolling. So, his guts told him everything was not fine.
Not wanting to push the situation, but with the intention to keep the conversation going because he was starting to worry, TK sent a new message, this time asking if he could come around his place after work.
The next hours passed by slowly, with just one more call and plenty of time to overthink and burn energy in the gym. Perhaps it was a hard week at work in Carlos’ station, caught up in a big case that was too much for him or had asked him to work non-stop the days before he last went home. Maybe he had found himself in a crossfire and asked to take a step back and a break because of it.
And of course, it could also be the damned pollen season they were in. Mateo had just had to stay in at the station during the last call because of it. He had a sneezing attack that caused him a headache, and none of those stopped until they came back to the station and Nancy brought some lilies out of the ambulance. With just a sniff of them, Mateo was feeling much better. The way pollen works in this world often made TK have a headache himself; it felt only natural for it to have a bad effect on people, but instead, the negative effects were had if you were not exposed to enough pollen during spring.
Once he was changed and ready to leave the firehouse, Carlos had sent a new text giving him the green light to drop by, but warning they’d have to order in if he planned to stay for dinner. TK replied with a smiling emoji, and headed outside.
First he stopped at a flower shop around the corner, where he stood trying to decide what to get among the huge variety of flowers and ready-to-go bouquets for a while. Finally, he chose a little bouquet of yellow pansies; yellow was the colour he thought of when thinking of Carlos, and the other way around. Next, TK went to a Thai restaurant from which they had ordered once in the past, and got the exact same dishes they had done that time —he remembered all the important stuff, and to know Carlos’ comfort food was one of the ways he had of showing how much Carlos meant to him.
TK called for a ride that left him in Carlos’ street and he walked the houses to get to his house thinking of what he was going to say. He didn’t want to step over anything that Carlos could be going through, or break any boundary they still hadn’t set up, so he opted to act like he hadn’t heard Michelle talking about him being at home for some days and just be a supporting friend Carlos could turn to if needed.
After a few knocks on his door, Carlos welcomed TK with messy hair like he had just woken up from a late nap, a little yawn he poorly hid with his hand, and watery eyes. Right before he turned to his side and sneezed on his elbow.
“Sorry about that,” Carlos apologised when he focused back on him, sniffing and taking a probably slightly used tissue from his pocket. “I’ve been … like this for a few days.”
TK had managed to hide the flowers behind his back for a surprise effect, so while they stayed unnoticed he showed a close smile and said “Sorry if this wasn’t the best day to hang out. But I brought dinner!”
Carlos’ eyes lit up at the sound of that word, and his eyes fell on the bag on TK’s hand. “I wish I could smell it, but the bag tells me it’s from that Thai place we ordered once?”
“I’m glad your sight is intact,” TK joked, and shifted his weight from one leg to the other. “So … can I come in?”
“Yes-yeah. Of course.” Carlos moved to the door’s side and let him in.
TK made a spin to still face Carlos and not let flowers show, and when he closed the door, TK held the food up while saying “I brought something else.”
Carlos frowned, and TK noticed how red his nose was. He made a mental note to run to the pharmacy and get some meds if the flowers didn’t work, or at least moisturising balm for his nose. To Carlos’ puppy eyes, TK didn’t waste more time and took the flowers out.
A smile grew on Carlos’ face, who looked as cheerful as he could be given his state. “For me?”
“For you.” With another smile, TK bowed and handed Carlos the pansies.
He watched as Carlos closed his eyes and brought the flowers to his face. Taking a big sniff he smiled again, and TK thought maybe that was exactly what Carlos needed. “Yellow is my favorite color. I could kiss you right now,” he chuckled.
Now it was time for TK’s eyes to light up at the hint of the possibility of physical contact.
“This is exactly what I needed.” Then Carlos opened his eyes, and saw his face. “But I don’t think I’m the best person to kiss right now.”
TK only smiled wider. “Can I do it anyway?”
Carlos smirked, and teased him by taking the food’s bag out of his hand, leaving it on the entrance’s furniture. “Go for it. I think your visit is making me feel better already.”
TK took Carlos’ hand that was holding the flowers and moved them away, keeping them safe as he reached Carlos’ neck to bring him closer, pulling him into a delicate kiss.

Excerpt:
Bucky’s sleepovers at the Barton’s house had become so regular in the last year after Clint got his family back, that Bucky was visiting the whole family monthly once the archer had retired and moved permanently with Laura and their kids. The time he was preparing his bag to visit them right following his birthday, Bucky received a text from Laura telling him to pack for a few more days, offering him a longer stay because the children had heard it had been his birthday, and they wanted to celebrate it with Bucky like it had to.
The offer took Bucky by surprise, but he quickly changed his regular bag for a sports one and filled it with clothes and care products and counted down the days to his flight and being reunited with the Barton’s.
