Winter break (Snufmin)

Exploring the snow

Snufkin woke up, earlier then moomin.
He got up and grabbed his backpack and got a few minnows he had fished right before winter, though he was only able to get a few.
He headed down to the kitchen started to cook, he rarely gets to use the kitchen, usually only when moominmama is around, which technically she is, shes just not awake.
He finished making breakfast, and was about to wake moomin up but he hesitated.
I could just let him sleep and leave, i still have a chance to go south.
But he decided not to, he knew how sad moomin would be if he did.
So he went up and woke moomin up.
They finished breakfast, and moomin washed the dishes.
Snufkin takes off his hat and places it on the table, revealing his messy hair, which on reflex moomin starts to ruffle then immediately jolts awat from his head
"Im sorry! I didnt mean to"
"Its okay, if you want to"
He leans his head over to moomin.
Moomin smiles then starts fumbling and playing with snufkins hair.
Moomin even started petting him after a while.
Snufkin even felt like he was about to pur after how much moomin started to pet him.
Moomin stopped and placed snufkins hat back on, leaving snufkins cheeks rubescent.
Moomin opened the door and called snufkin
"Usually, when i wake up from hibernating i head over to the bath house to see too-ticky"
"Come on"
Snufkin stood up, right behind moomin.
The door was blocked with snow, so moomin started digging through the snow with his hands (paws?)
And snufkin helped him, until they were able to see the sun shining on their faces.
They both started walking to the bath house, and thankfully they didnt see the groke this time.
They got to the bath house and knocked
"Come in"
They opened the door to see too-ticky hunched up to a large bowl, heating up a can of tomato soup
"Up again i see? Firsr with My, then snorkmaiden and now with your boyfriend"
Moomin covered his face and turned to snufkin
Snufkin giggled softly, so soft only moomin heard.
They sat down near her.
"Do i have explain the invisible creatures again?"
"Oh, no I already know about those"
"Theyre everwhere when i roam around the woods"
Too-ticky hands them both 2 bowls and snufkin starts to drink it
"Good thing you know, im a bit sick of explaining it over and over, but its nice to have new company every once in a while"
She sips a bit of soup from the bowl, the exhales
"Nothing better than hot soup to keep out the winter chills" too-ticky uttered.
Moomin and snufkin nod in synch
"Moomins told me all about you"
She stands up
"It may be a bit hard because of the tempreture and theyre not as hungry but, im sure we could catch a few minnows before dawn"
Snufkin grins and pulls out the fishing rod from the side of his backpack, the two follow too-ticky out of the bath house and headed to the sea, where there was a hole carved out of the ice, snufkin and too ticky sat by the hole and began to fish, moomin sat besides snufkin, bored.
But he saw how happy snufkin was so he didnt regret coming, although he seemed a bit bummed out that they didnt get to talk as much as theyd like.
After a while snufkin got up and told too-ticky that they were headed back to moominhouse, too-ticky said it was for the best, before the lady of the cold arrived and froze them to death.
The headed home, on the way seeing the horse that too-ticky made for the lady of the cold.
As they paced their way over to moominhouse, snufkin suddenly felt snow hit the back of his neck,
He turned around to see moomin holding a snow ball, snickering to himself
"Oh, i see" snufkin he spoke
"Two, can play at that game"
He clumped as much snow as he could grab and threw at moomin, then moomin returned by throwing another snowball at him. Snufkin ran up to moomin who was still giggling then hit his face with more snow, snufkin fell onto the ground and laughed
"Oh thats mean snufkin" he said through chuckles.
Snufkin was still on the floor laughing, almost about to cry, moomin fell to the ground with him and laughed so hard he thought he was gonna run out of breath.
They finally got up then raced to get ti moominhouse, they were tired once they got there
"Thank heavens that little my hasnt waken yet, she would have spoiled the fun" moomin said to snufkin jokingly
"I know right" he almost snorted, then wiped a tear from his eye from all the laughter.
They went up to the room quitely, to not let the others wake up.
Then sat down on the bed, snufkin removed his hat and scarf and placed it on the side table, then laid next to moomin, who was smiling at him.
Moomin pet his hair again, then kissed his scalp, snufkin blushed, then moomin covered his mouth
"Ahhhh!"
"Snufkin i-im so so sorry"
"I didnt-----i didnt mean to!"
His face was as red as roses
"I understand if you want to leave now"
"I know, im too clingy and---"
He was cut off
"No"
He grabbed moomins face and kissed the top of his head.
Moomin gazed downwards, and huffed
"I-i like you snufkin"
"I wait for you, and...i miss you even when i sleep for most of the Blizzard"
"I feel incomplete when youre gone"
He uttered, his face still red
"Do you....like me...too?"
He said quivering
"Of course, who wouldnt moomintroll?"
Moomintrolls face flushed.
Snufkin held moomintrolls face and pushed it against his, with moomin still in kind of a frozen state.
Their lips touched and snufkin slipped his tongue, which moomin wasnt quite ready for, he almost choked, he pushed back. Both their faces mirrored scarlet.
Moomin gripped at snufkins hair and licked the sides of his mouth, he used his hand to comb back his messy hair to show most his forehead then tightly grabbed his hair again, moomin opened his eyes and saw how adorable snufkin looked, then closed his eyes again.
Snufkin had never kissed anyone before, except for his mom mymble once on the cheek.
He'd never want to kiss anyone before, until he met moomin.
And now he has, sitting across from him on the bed, with moomin gripping at his hair, and on the brink of pulling off his shirt. (Is it even a shirt? Even he didnt really know)
He pulled away huffing, with his mouth sore
"I think im gonna run out of breath"
Moomin wiped his mouth, now covered in saliva
"Me" huff "too"
He gulped.
They both fell to the pillows, exhausted.
Snufkin pushed up his bangs and slicked it to the back of his head, and started snickering
"I didnt expect that to happen"
"Me neither" moomin replied
"Are we...boyfriends now?" Snufkin asked
"I think" moomin said back
Snufkim turned to moomin
"You dont know how long ive wanted this"
Moomin kissed snufkins forehead
"Same here"
"Wanna be the little spoon this time?"
Snufkin said half joking
"Haha"
"Y-ya sure"
Snufkin wraped his arms around moomin.
"Goodnight"
