A Jade Christmas

Chapter 6

Jackson turned the key and silence replaced the steady hum of the engine. They sat quiet for a second before Jackson turned over to look at Cade.

"Ready for the cold?" Jackson said in attempt to figure out the expression of the boy beside him. Cade just stared out the front window, dreading the bare thought of opening the door and let the inevitable cold creep under his many layers of clothing.

"It looks really quite cold... let's just sit here for a bit more" Cade pleaded, reluctantly turning his head to see an impatient Jackson.

"Oh, come on love, it wont get any warmer out there the longer we wait. In fact, I think it'll just get colder inside if we stay" and with that Jackson opened the door causing one of those small groans of Cade. There was no going back now, they just had to get out in the cold.

"Besides it's best we get back to the house as soon as possible. You never know..." Cade didn't respond. He just wandered through the thick snow, hoping his shoes wouldn't get soaked just yet and he determined scanned the area for a possible tree. All of a sudden he felt how something cold and rather hard hit him in the back. He turned around to see Jackson finishing making his second snowball, and before he could flinch, it him in the shoulder. This one was kinda looser, resulting in a little piece of snow sliding down his neck.

"Aaaaarghh! Fuck!" He squealed out as it melted inside his collar. "I'm so getting you back for that you - " but Jackson hit Cade again before he could finish. Cade didn't bother perfecting his snowball, instead he ran directly towards Jackson, and the younger boys amused face instantly turned into a panicked frown. Cade knocked him down on the ground before he could turn and run away. "Eat snow" Cade said before he smeared the snow in Jackson's face. Jackson tried to be mad but he couldn't help but laughing under Cade's furious glove. The blonde was acting really childish, the wild scene reminded him of Dumb and Dumber, and he just couldn't stop laughing at this lovely boy pushing him down in the snow. The laughs made Cade feel kind of bad, and Jackson's muffled sounds were quickly interrupted by Cade's warm lips. The snow between their lips melted and turned their kiss into a sloppy wet snug. Jackson could feel Cade's breath on his cold face, but it was the idea of his love being so close to him that made him heat up. Just a bit too soon Cade broke their connection, he didn't want Jackson to get cold laying there in the snow. Jackson stared up at Cade's face; it was so beautiful, lit up by the snow on the ground.

"Come on, let's find that tree beautiful." Cade said when he had got up and held a hand out to Jackson to help him up.

"Fine" Jackson said and eagerly grabbed Cade's hand, as he already missed their contact. He quickly swung up, connecting their lips in a hard kiss again, before Jackson dragged Cade along between the trees. "It's a but further in til' we get to the smaller ones" Jackson remarked. "Why were you so grumpy before?"

"Sorry... I just... Being here alone with you is so perfect; I never want it to change. I don't want anyone to see us. I don't want to risk not being able to spend the rest of our time in the cabin. I guess I was just thinking about you. How all I want is you. I don't need anything else, you for Christmas is all I want..." Jackson didn't know if he should look disappointed or flattered. From Cade's next words it seemed as if he though the disappointment had got to his face first. "I mean, I really look forward to spending the perfect Christmas with you, but its already perfect, you're already perfect, and I just don't want to risk anything that might ruin it, but you know I'll do anything that makes you happy babe! Because I love you. So, so much." He added quickly, meaning every word he said as he squeezed Jackson's hand in an attempt to soothe him. "Really it doesn't matter if they stalk us. As long as I got you." Cade added again, but Jackson was already staring at him fondly, and they had stopped again.
