FLUFF!

"Achoo!" Childe sneezed from the cold in Snezhnaya, "If we stand here any longer... we'll freeze to death." he said as he hugged himself and adjusting his scarf to cover his neck.

Childe and Scaramouche were out on a mission sent by the Tsaritsa to clear off some snow from the snowstorm so that the roads wouldn't be blocked when people walked, but the blizzard only got stronger. The freezing temperature made their tolerance reach their meter to death even faster.

"We definitely need to find some shelter... but... it's so cold..." The gingerhead kept complaining, but Scaramouche told him to shut up. "Don't waste your breath talking, we can walk around and find to see if theres a cabin or cave nearb-" a big gust of wind then suddenly came upon them, Scaramouche's hat went flying away just like Timmie's pigeons.

"My... hat..." he said as he looked at the direction the hat flew, until the hat couldn't be seen anymore. But thankfully, he saw a cave through the thick snow, "Over there, let's head over." both of the boys walked to the place as quickly as they could, their hands and faces numb from the cold. They quickly went in the cave to atleast get some cover from the wind and snow.

Childe let out a long sigh of relief as he sat down on the corner of the cave saying, "Finally... can you set up a fire shortie?" he asked Scara. Of course, the boy didn't respond well to being called shortie and he hit Childe lightly on his head, "I'm an electro user, dimwit." he said as he shivered in the cold and sat next to Childe on the ground of the cave as they watched the snow fall down from outside.

"You cold?" the ginger asked the shorter one, "You're shaking a bit, hold on." he unwrapped his red scarf to loosen it and put it on Scaramouche as they shared the same scarf. "Better?"

Scaramouche looked away from Childe, "I didn't really need it." not wanting to admit. Childe just chuckled, "It's just a scarf, no need to act like that. So you lost your hat? We'll find it after we get out of here when the storm stops."

The other boy stayed silent, just having his face dug onto part of the scarf for warmth. He was severely cold, and Childe noticed that and moved closer to him and held his hand. Scaramouche was then taken aback that he suddenly held his hand and quickly pushed him away, "What're you doing?" he said looking at the redhead.

"You seemed cold so... I thought holding hands would be ideal? Haha, I mean we should probably share body heat if you're cold or something. But if you don't want to that's fine too I guess." he sighed because Childe himself was also cold and wanted to warm up.

Scaramouche was hesitating, but decided to sit on Childe's lap and hug him as he put his arms around him. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm doing this so that were warm." he said feeling a bit embarassed. He leaned his chin on Childe's shoulder so he could feel his warmth.

Childe was a bit surprised that Scaramouche did that, he expected him to yell that he can handle it but instead got this boy hugging him and sitting on his lap. He blushed a little and let out a small giggle wrapping his arms around him back, "Alright alright, I'll give you all the warmth then." he put one of his hands behind Scaramouche's head and just started to pet him, and just realizing the electro user fell asleep while hugging him.

Childe then slowly put the sleeping Scaramouche down and layed him on the ground, "Must feel sleepy from the cold, aren't you comrade?" he said with a soft tone looking at the fatui harbinger who fell asleep. Childe then layed down right next to him and hugged him close, "Sleep well. Let's home this storm passes." he held his hands as he slowly started to close his eyes and drift off to sleep as well.
