A smile etched itself across Dexter's face as they watched the Spanish boy stare up into the sky with awe. Small white dots drifted down from above, covering everything in a white canvas. It coated the tree branches, streets, rooftops, grass, cars, everything.

Dex slowly walked closer to Jose, lacing their fingers together and looking up into the other's eyes. "What do you think?" they asked in a soft tone. Excitement radiated off of the male and a smile wide enough to compete with Kim Kardashian's hips covered his entire face. He ducked his head down and softly pecked the other's lips, "Almost as gorgeous as you." They smiled at one another, Jose slipping his arms around Dex's waist as the other rested their head on his chest.

Snowflakes lazily floated down, but they were getting bigger by the second, coating everything even more thoroughly. A shiver ripped through Jose and a laugh poured out of Dex's mouth, "You cold there?"

The boy grinned playfully. "I always feel warm whenever I'm around you."

"Oh my God, you fucking nerd."

"You're dating this nerd."

"No, shut up. C'mon, before your fucking face falls off; you're freezing."

"I'm pretty s-"

"No. Shut up, oh my God."

Dex firmly gripped Jose's hand and dragged him back inside. There, they kicked off their boots and shrugged off their coats. Dex threw a hoodie at Jose while he was hanging the coats, making him barely catch it.

"Put that on before you, like, die," the smaller one smiled. "I will attempt to get Giant to make us hot choco-"

"No," Levi said flatly from the other room. "I will fight le diable before I get off my ass."

"You'd fight anyone, Lee," Dex sighed, shuffling into the kitchen.

"Vérité!" he called.

"JoJo!" Dex singsonged from the kitchen.

"I've told you," Jose whined, "not to call me that."

"Anyways, milk or water?"

"Water."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously."

"Lame ass."

Jose smiled, waiting patiently for Dex to make the hot chocolate.

The microwave annoyingly beeped, yelling that their drinks were ready. Dex handed one to Jose, shuffled into the living room and gave the second to Levi, and kept the third for themself. They peacefully sipped their hot chocolate, smiling slightly. "We can watch the snow if you want?" they suggested, receiving a small nod.

The two seated themselves by the window, staring out at the quiet night. Snowflakes continued falling and didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Jose looked over at the Dex, grinning, "It's snowing." The other groaned in reply and reached over and kicked the Spanish boy's foot, both laughing.

"Hey. I love you."

"I love you, too."
