Head In The Clouds, Hands On The Wheel

[lavashipping (happens but not romance-focused), post-March of the Oni]

Things have been tense between them. All of them, to be more exact. Cole being the epicentre of the tension, to be completely exact.
And so it was decided: a trip. More specifically a ski, early-Christmas slash surprise birthday trip. All the way up in the Wailing Alps as normal people who didn't have to carry the weight of the entire world on their backs, driving regular old cars the Kai way - sans handy technology.
Now if only they could get there. Alive. Considering Cole was in a perpetual bad mood (amplified by all the decisions the team made to disconnect them from heroic lives, which included estimated two days of driving thanks to his new favourite navigation) and Kai was determined to break through it with a lot of burnt CDs.

It's a pain in the heart
Leaves a scar every time
You can scream at the void
But it never replies
I just want to know
What is sticking 'round worth?
What a comedown
Comedown, comedown
