Christmas OTP challenge

11. snogging in front of the fireplace - Raxu

Late again my bad! This one was a bit awkward to write (I just randomly put parings with numbers then numbers with prompts so, not the best idea) but I don't think it's too bad (p.s sappy ending w/ metaphors again). Enjoy day 11!!!

--------------------

The weather outside was cold and wet as the newly found couple trudged the streets of Leeds, "it's too cold" Rage mumbled against his scarf as tears began to run down his face from the impact of the cold winds. His boyfriend chuckled from behind his scarf but otherwise kept quiet, they soon approached Rage's apartment and hurried inside as quick as physically possible. The fire was the first thing to go on even before they took their coats off, fairy lights lit up the Christmas tree and gave off a warm, homely glow. Snow began to gently fall against the windows as the two rid themselves of their coats.

"It's still so cold, I can't feel my fingers" Curaxu whined as he sat on the sofa, furiously rubbing his hands together, "here" Rage offered after he threw a thick blanket over the other. Small parts of snow began to melt and drip from Curaxu's hair as he buried himself into the sea of blankets before the other returned. "You warming up any?" Rage asked but interrupted before the other could say anything, "also do you want any tea?"; Curaxu smiled to himself slightly, "uh no and yes please" he replied. The sound of the kettle flicking on echoed through the room as well as the sound of the crackling fire, Rage soon came back through, "move over" he mumbled and Curaxu only complied as he shuffled further left and also lifted the blanket to which the other climbed in to snuggle close.

Rage mumbled a incoherent sentence of some sort against the others shoulder as he also closed his eyes, "what was that?" Curaxu asked sleepily. Curaxu could feel the other smile into his shoulder before he pulled away to look at him, "I said I love you" Rage spoke quietly. "Wow you sap" Curaxu rolled his eyes but was soon followed by "but I love you too" and a quick kiss on the others lips that was firm enough to leave a lingering feeling of pressure but also a loss. A loss that could soon be regained as Rage lunged forwards slightly connecting their lips together in a sweet yet passionate kiss, his hand instinctively holding the others as his other rested on Curaxu's knee.

Their worlds dark behind closed eyes but knew there was a bright world with each other in it. All noise of the fire now drowning in a deafening silence as the two could hear their own beating hearts. Curaxu's hand lay against his boyfriends cheek as he guided their heads ever so slightly but soon enough they broke apart, faces inches apart and breath heavy against each other in their attempts to recover. Laying his head on the others shoulder only briefly before he got up and walked out, Rage cane back through moments later with two cups of tea and passed one to Curaxu as he sat back down again. "This is nice" Curaxu sighed as he leant his head upon the other's, who nodded slightly in agreement. Their love was the fire burning strong and loud yet comforting and warm. Their love was the snow outside so fragile and pretty yet fierce and calming. Their love could not be compared to simple things as it was much more complex but actions speak louder than words.
