A Snow Filled Night

Writer's note:

I hope you will enjoy this fanfic, I have never written one before, or really read any for that matter. I wanted the setting to be at the beginning of Trinket and Hibeki's relationship while it takes place in a modern au. I would also like to mention that this fanfic will include nsfw content later on, so if that is something you are not comfortable with feel free to skip parts of chapter 3 (you can notice when the nsfw takes place/starts), if you skip until chapter 4 you should be good. Now that I am done rambling let's get on with the actual fic, enjoy!

On a cold snowy night the lights of the city would cast a dim, warm light throughout the streets, it was quite late at night so few people were outside, probably also due to the cold weather. Hibeki on the other hand was hard at work inside the bakery he works at "I'm gonna be late for the last train of the night if I don't hurry" he mumbled to himself while rushing into the kitchen with boxes filled with baking ingredients. He felt extremely stressed as the time was moving by the second, Hibeki was sure he had never closed up the bakery this fast in his entire life, "I should be able to catch the last train just in time" he thought to himself, but while thinking that the front door of the bakery opened followed by the ringing sound of the bell hanging above the door, and in came a tall looking man. He was full of snow and one could hardly make out any of his facial features, he started brushing snow off his coat as he walked closer to the front counter, Hibeki was so caught off guard that the final box of baking ingredients he was supposed to put away fell onto the floor, a loud thud came from it and flour spilled all over the place. Hibeki was frozen still, he could not believe this had just happened "Just my luck" he mumbled before quickly adding on a "Sorry we're closed for the night" while still looking at the spilled flour on the floor. The man that had entered started shaking his head "'tsk tsk, can't believe you didn't recognize me" the man said in disbelief before revealing his face by taking off his scarf, and to Hibeki's surprise it was his boyfriend Trinket standing right in front of him.

Hibeki's clothes were covered in flour as he stood there staring at Trinket "What the hell are you doing here!?" he commented, seeming annoyed. Trinket slowly approached Hibeki and started carefully wiping some flour off his face, his touch was gentle and soothing which made Hibeki feel at ease instantly. "I just wanted to see my boyfriend, is that so wrong?" Trinket said warmly with a heartfelt smile. Hibeki quickly turned his head while pushing Trinket's hand away, "N-no.. just stay out of the way, I missed the last train because of you!" he mumbled while his cheeks were glowing red. Trinket stepped to the side and watched as Hibeki started sweeping up the flour "Sure you don't want any help? It was my fault after all, so I feel guilty" he asked while quickly checking his phone to see the time. "No, you just stay put-" Hibeki answered with an annoyed tone, Trinket then quickly interrupted him "Well, do you know where you'll be staying tonight then?" he asked with a smug look on his face while being fully aware that Hibeki would not have anywhere to stay for the night. Hibeki stopped and seemed hesitant; he gripped on tighter to the broom he was holding before letting out a muffled "No...". Trinket stepped forward and bowed down to look directly at Hibeki's face as he smiled at him "Hmm, well, would you like to stay at my place then? But only if you let me help you." he explained with a serious tone to his voice as he leaned in closer to Hibeki's face. Hibeki looked confused. "What kind of deal is that?" he asked while leaning his head backwards, Trinket's face was too close and it made Hibeki feel warm inside, it was hard for him to think of a good response when his heart would not stop beating. Trinket kept staring at him waiting for his reply, "Fine fine, here take this and get to work!" he said as he shoved his broom towards Trinket and walked off "Then you clean the rest while I get a change of clothes!" he quickly added on before disappearing into the staff room.
