"Are you sure? He isn't exactly a sunshine personality."
"I know. I'm Moonstruck."
The Northern Territory was cold, colorless and unforgiving, just like the wolves that dwelled within it.
At least, that's what Taehyung heard. Little did he know tha...

After they walked back to Myrin, both males were shaking from the cold. Yoongi opened a bag that was fastened on the saddle and pulled out a blanket.
"I'm sorry, I didn't plan on going swimming, so I only brought one. You can have it."
Taehyung hesitantly took it, wrapping it around himself. "Are you sure that you'll be all right? That doesn't look too warm," he gestured to the alpha's exposed arms and wet hair.
Yoongi shook his head, "I'm all right."
Taehying didn't oppose and nodded, ascending the horse right after Yoongi.
The way back was quiet, but it wasn't an awkward silence. Both just enjoyed the quiet night and the rhythmic steps of the horse, and Taehyung started to get tired. The thick wool of the blanket kept him warm despite the freezing wind, and Yoongi had begun to hum a melody a while ago.
That paired with Myrin's smooth movements caused his eyelids to shut repeatedly, and he was so caught up in his attempt to stay awake that he didn't even notice that they had arrived at the palace.
Taehyung slid off the horse rather clumsily, almost falling over if it weren't for Jeongguk catching him.
"You're back quite late," the younger alpha observed, raising a brow at his sibling.
Yoongi also got off the horse, simply handing Jeongguk the reins. "We stayed longer than I had expected."
"Is that why you look like a wet dog?" Jeongguk teased, earning himself a playful shove.
"I'll take Taehyung to his chamber. I'd be thankful if you could take on Myrin," the King said, Jeongguk nodding in response.
The clattering of horseshoes against stone signaled that Jeongguk began walking away, and Taehyung finally turned to the King.
The omega then gasped, rushing over to the alpha. "Your lips are blue!"
Yoongi just grinned, "Happens."
Now Taehyung felt terrible for hogging the blanket, hurriedly unwrapping itself, and handing it to Yoongi. The freezing air nipped at his skin, his damp clothes feeling rather uncomfortable. The alpha, however, didn't make a move to accept it, only staring at the younger.
Taehyung gently pushed the blanket against Yoongi's chest, "Please. I'll be fine until I reach my chamber."
The older sighed but accepted the offer, his posture immediately relaxing. The King then pulled Taehyung closer, wrapping the massive blanket around them both.
The omega blushed, "How are we supposed to walk like this?"
That's something Yoongi seemed to think about, pursing his lips in thought. "We'll make it work."
The alpha took an experimental step forward, Taehyung following right after in order not to slip.
They somehow manage to get up the slippery stairs and into the palace, Taehyung feeling significantly warmer without the harsh wind blowing through his hair.
