Wintertime cuddling (a TSM fanfiction)

Confusion

"W- Are you okay??" Vincent asked, panicking.
"Yeah..." Peter responded, sniffling. "I'm just... Tired. And I needed to cry. Stuff going on." He wiped a lone tear from his cheek.
"Hey..." Vincent paused and kneeled down beside the older boy. "If there's anything you want to talk about, you can just tell me. I'll listen." Vincent spoke, in a reassuring manner. Those words felt awful to say, as he hid his own secrets beneath a calming expression.
Peter let out a weak chuckle, before breaking the short silence.
"Why are you out so late? And aren't you cold?" He said this in a sarcastic tone but somehow, Vincent knew he was concerned.
"I was just out with Søren and Dennis. But I'm not very cold." Just as he said it, a shiver shot down his spine like a bolt of lightning.
"Vincent, your hands are so cold," Peter scoffed, a pang of doubt cloaking his voice. "And you're shivering. C'mere."
Then, Vincent was wrapped in Peter's soft embrace. His warm body heat helped the shivering that Vincent was attempting to cover up. In response, Vincent returned the hug, unsure of his actions yet still trying to be confident. He buried his face into the crook of Peter's neck after finding comfort in the situation.
Peter sniffled again, then spoke.
"You know, Vincent, you're the best at cheering me up. Like, it makes me feel happy just to be around you, y'know? I came outside in the worst mood in weeks, exhausted and emotionally conflicted, and you just strolled on over and my mood shot straight up."
Vincent chuckled. "Well, I'm just glad I could make you feel better."
"Vincent?" The taller boy said.
"Hm?" He replied, curious.
"I love you, dude." Peter said, a rosy hue of blush creeping up onto his face. Neither of them knew what to do from here.
"I- um... love you too." Said the younger boy, almost embarrassed. But it was peaceful, despite the muffled shouts of those streaming indoors. The cool night was no match for the two "lovers" and their lame cuddling. Merely a few minutes later, however, they decided to go back inside to grab some food.

The next morning, Kevin and Søren found them both asleep next to each other on the couch, blanket wrapped around the bot duo, and Vincent's head resting on Peter's shoulder. Neither of them knew much reasoning behind it, though, and carried on. But a lot happened last night, at least for those two.
