Apricity [noun] - the warmth of the sun on a cold winter's day.

Noah spent his days trapped in the frostbitten monotony of routine - wake up, classes, work, sleep.
He watched as people moved, sun-kissed by romance. He envied them, secretly.
Having spent the entirety of his life untouched by those rays of light, he had, at last, resigned himself to a life of endless winter.
That was until he met Riley.
If summer were to take shape, it would choose Riley as its vessel in every universe. Oddly enough, he'd spent his life on ice, craving the cold as his own future built up to be lived beneath the scorching beams of limelight.
Could Riley be the warmth of the sun that finally thawed the snow that had piled up around him for years - or would the icy cold end up extinguishing the flames trying to reach Noah?
