My hands are freezing, but my heart is melting...

Chapter 2 : Meet me under the mistletoe

Namjoon has no idea how to approach his angelic neighbour from across the hall.
Instead he decides to slowly guide Jimin to actually see him as more than a friendly neighbour.
"So kiss me now, with snow floating in the air"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'I am so fucking dumb!' Namjoon groaned, wanting to hit his own head with something heavy. Preferably a brick from the nearby wall.
'Not that I don't agree, but what the fuck has your panties twisted?' Yoongi leaned across the counter of the cafe. He had been working for quite a bit at Seokjin's cafe, for longer than he intended but on the contrary to what he always says, he didn't hate it that much.
'My neighbour! He is so...'
'Oh my god, AGAIN?' the man sighed, if he was able to, he would have already eye-rolled himself into another dimension. 'What happend This time?'
'I wanted to-I wanted to borrow some coffee because I forgot to buy some the other day and after I knocked he... Like, you know how I described him? All cute and blond hair, angelic smile and just so...' 'Adorable? Yeah. Get the fuck to the point before I puke rainbow, Joon' Yoongi interrupted.
'Yeah so this man...He opened the door to his place h a l f n a k e d. Yoongi. He only had a towel on and I just...'
'Did you rape him? Jesus fucking christ, Joon, if police knocks on my door and asks questions I don't want to sound like a parent that say "Oh but he was so nice and naive and clumsy. And he was a licensed virgin too, he would jerk off to gayass porn every other day"'
'Hey! Fuck off you rat!' Namjoon smacked the other on the shoulder.
'Tells me to fuck off but came to ask for support. Very intelligent of you Joon Joon' Yoongi chuckled.
'Can you just tell me what should I do? He makes me go crazy'
'Don't rape the poor kid. He has future, unlike you'
'Not funny, Suga. Not funny' Namjoon said it on purpose, Yoongi didn't like that nickname. Highschool was shitty for him so he prefered to leave the nickname right in the past.
'Okay, you damn pigeon, I will tell you a top secret information I received from your angelic neighbour's friend. Listen well, because I will not repeat myself' Min pointed at the other with a demanding expression.
'Okay' a nod came.
'Taehyung comes here often...' 'Wait! You mean that dude that makes you want to nut whenever he orders his drink?' 'SHUT THE FUCK UP NAMJOON. I AM NOT REPEATING MYSELF' so far calm Yoongi was now replaced with an unpatient one with ears dusted with red.
'Taehyung asked me about you. Why? Because apparently he has a friend that has hots for you. He asked whether you are single'
'Wait. Really?!' the glow in Namjoon's made Yoongi a bit jealous. If the other did everything smoothly then maybe he would spend his Christmas with someone, but that would leave him alone. And he couldn't go home, because the only home he had was his flat twenty minutes away from where they were now.
'Yes. So I would suggest you to get on it, Dumbjoon. Go and find your own Snowflake'
'Are you going to do anything in your case with the Radio Voice dude?'
'I will leave his voice on the Radio. Not my league Joon' Yoongi shook his head with a pitiful smile. And then...
'Yooongs!' a deep voice sang from the door to the cafe 'I came to get something new! Do you have anything special on the menu?' a tall figure approached them. Namjoon smirked at the older male earning himself a smack on the head.
'How about trying him Taehyung? Yoongs is pretty special don'tcha think?' Kim yelled before going pass the younger and leaving the cafe.
'Yeah...He is' Taehyung smiled warmly at the male that was currently trying to fix him some limited edition coffee they had on their menu at the moment.
'Would you like some design on your coffee, Taehyung?'
'Can you do an auto portrait?

Namjoon sighed while laying down on his couch. He had so many ideas to try and attract the neighbour but no idea which one to choose. Only then...
Suddenly his power went out and probably in the whole building too. He unplugged his phone from the charger, silently congratulating himself for leaving it at home to charge and was informed that some districts of the city were denied power access due to snow storm for the next few hours until it passes.
'Sweet' he commented while looking out of the window. He could barely see the building on the other side of the street, that's how bad the snow was. When Namjoon was on his way to grab some blankets to hide himself into, there was a knock on the door which he answered right away.
'Hello...' and that's where his mouth stopped. In front of him was one and only angelic neighbour. Park Jimin. Park that stood in front of him half naked when he wanted to borrow coffee Jimin. Park that wore cute pastel sweaters Jimin.
'Uhm...I-Do you perhaps have candles or something? I used my last one yesterday and have nothing to lighten in my house and just-I am just scared a bit to be alone right now' Jimin blabbered while fiddling with his fluffy sweater, too embarrassed to look at Namjoon. 

Oh lord in Heavens. I Kim Namjoon am thanking you for this golden opportunity you sent me today. You da pro. Amen.

'Uhm...Yeah I have some of-I mean I have candles, if you would like to you can-You can stay with me until the power comes back, I don't mind at all' he smiled nervously.
'Really?' it was dark around them, but he could still see the bright smile of the other.
'Yeah, just get some warm blankets or something because I may not have enough for both of us'
The heaters at their building were electrical and not standard ones so the temperature is most likely to drop quite a bit until the power comes back.
Jimin nodded before walking back to his door and walking hastily around his flat to get a blanket and his plushie. He grabbed salty sticks too and locked the door before going into the Namjoon's flat and looking around it. Darkness made him uneasy and shaky. He hated being alone in the dark. All of a sudden a match lightened up in the middle of the living room, lightning candles one by one. Small ones, big ones... After Namjoon finished, the space was still a bit dark but made Jimin more relaxed now that it was lighter and he could actually see the other's face.
'Oh, you have a snack and...is this a plushie?' Namjoon cocked his head to the side before placing a few blankets and pillows on the couch.
'Yeah...I know, it's childlish but-'
'It's not. It's fucking cute' Namjoon froze at his own words. Wha-? 'I am sorry, I-'
'It's okay, thank you Namjoon' Jimin moved and sat on the couch comfortably. Plushie in his arms and blanket around his small form.
'Want some?' man waved the opened package in the air.
'Yes, thank you. I would propose something warm to drink but I would need a kettle to work solely on my power of faith and that died years ago...' Namjoon smiled brightly when he heard Jimin laugh. It was beautiful.

'...And then I decided to never go into a pool again' Jimin finished while Namjoon held onto his stomach for dear life while laughing. It hurt so bad but felt so good.
'Now your turn again' Jimin munched on the salty stick.
'Uhm... Do you see this lamp?' Namjoon pointed towards the one near the armchair next to the window. Jimin nodded.
'It's a lamp 3.0. I bought the first one when I moved in and my friend knocked it over and broke it so I got a lamp 2.0...But that one was hit by me with my head so this is my third one...' Jimin smiled almost lovingly. Namjoon was too cute.
'Let's play 10 questions, Joon' after these four hours they were already on the first name basis. It made both of them all fuzzy inside.
'Okay. Your favourite season?'
'Summer. It's nice and warm unlike this bitchy winter' Joon nodded with a smirk. 'Have you ever broke something expensive? Like really really expensive?'
'No. That's why I stay away from museums... Peck or kiss?'
'Kiss. Tea or coffee?'
'Coffee. Thoughts on PDA?'
'Sounds like my dream. Night in or out?'
'Both. Depends how I feel and with who. Perfect date?'
'At home. I want all the romantic bullshit from the movies. I am a sucker for romance' Jimin smiled dopely. 'Would you date a stranger?'
'No idea. A person from the street?'
'No, how about someone closer?'
'What, a neighbour?' Namjoon smiled a bit, leaning closer.
'Perhaps...' Jimin shrugged before downing the saltiness with some soda.
'And here we are' Namjoon chuckled.
'Hmm?' Jimin hummed questionably.
'Look above, Jiminie' and there it was. Above them was a single branch of a mistletoe. After hours of getting closer to one another on the couch they've met in the middle of it. And mistletoe hang there, laughing at them.
'Oh' Jimin's plush lips formed an 'o' shape before looking forward at Namjoon.
'With a snow falling outside...Meet me under the mistletoe stranger' Kim teased with a made up song.
Jimin blushed before coming even closer. The whole situation was so cheesy and he was so weak for everything Namjoon said or did...
'Not gonna lie, I thought you would never ask' he purred before cupping the other's cheeks and pulling him in.
'All I want for Christmas is you' Namjoon hushed with a dimpled smile before going in and connecting their lips.
So warm, Jimin thought while his hands travelled to the peachy strands on the older's head.
'And I think you've got me already' Park whispered when they pulled away, their noses still touching.
The lights turned back on right after his words and both of them were granted a perfect view of the other's messy hair and flushed face.
'Cute' they mumbled at the same time before laughing. 

For Namjoon and Jimin Christmas has never felt so warm before.
