Snow came down in a white, fluffy torrent, obscuring the view from as far as the eye could see. It had been luck, really, that those lost in the mountains had found this cabin, more luck that it had been unlocked, and even more that there was enough fuel for a fire to be conjured--

"Lit, Kael. Non-mages have to use kindling and matches."

"That's so inconvenient, though. Why wouldn't you at least have an igniter with you?"

"Kael, you're spoiling it."

"I'm sorry."

It was even luckier that there was enough kindling and matches to light the fire. Shivering, they looked at each other. If one of them sickened, so far away from civilization, there would be no way to help them. They had to warm up, and soon.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" he asked, touching her pale, chilled cheek. "It could change everything."

"I'm ready," she insisted. "I know I am, I--"

"Stop having sex in the living room."

Jaina and Kael sprung back from each other. Kylian walked through Kael's living room, carrying a bag of supplies.

"He's a jerk," Noah noted, closing the door with his foot. "You know."

Jaina sighed and sat back, adjusting her robes. "We do know."

"Besides, while having sex is probably fine if you're cold, if you've actually got hypothermia, you shouldn't be having sex, because it burns calories. Skin to skin contact is fine, but all of the sudden, jerky movements will probably--"

"Noah, you're a killjoy," Kael said with a groan. "Jaina..."

Jaina frowned thoughtfully, then shook her head. "I'm sorry, Kael. We'll have to think of something else."

"Damnit," Kael muttered. "Why are the two of you here?"

"Well, someone invited us to dinner, which is why we have a door rune. Specifically, someone told us that if we brought groceries, they would cook." Noah looked at both of them, the look in his ice-blue eyes demonstrating how thoroughly unimpressed he was with the pair of them. "Assuming people aren't too busy fantasizing..?"

"We're sorry, Noah," Jaina said. "We forgot. I've had so many exams in the last week..."

"And that's why we're celebrating Winter Veil here," Noah said, smiling a little. "Come on, Lady Proudmoore. You and His Highness can have some weird food fantasy thing or something."

"If you come in my food, I will be so mad," Kylian said. "So mad."

"I thought you said that semen was a perfect, natural thing that shouldn't be shunned or shied away from?" Kael said, raising an eyebrow. "Or at least, that's what you said after you--"

"Kitchen. Now. Go." Noah pointed.

Kael and Jaina exchanged an amused look and went to unpack the ingredients for dinner. They worked in silence for a little while, chopping, measuring and stirring. Finally, Jaina broke the silence.

"How was that scenario going to end, Kael?" Jaina asked softly. "Were we going to have sex?"

"I..." Kael looked down. "I don't know. It's not that I don't want to, Jaina, but you're still young, and... I want it to be special."

"Winter Veil's coming up," Jaina pointed out. "That's pretty special."

Kael smiled. "It is. Maybe it's the elf in me talking, but I don't feel as if we should rush this. We've been dating for over a year, but... there's a lot to explore. Things I'd like to explore, with you." Gently, he reached out and brushed his fingers against her cheek. "At the right time."

Jaina nodded. "We'll find the right time. We have to make sure dinner is ready, though. Otherwise, Noah and Kylian will turn on each other in their hunger."

"Noah will regret that," Kael said, carefully scooping up chopped greens and adding them to one of the pots. "Kylian's gone bad, he tastes funny."

Jaina laughed softly, and Kael grinned back.

"Kael... Kael, oh..." Jaina moaned. Kael murmured softly against her breast, swirling his tongue around her nipple. Jaina ran her fingers through his hair, her breath soft as it hitched. "Yes..."

One of Kael's hands moved to stroke at her stomach, tracing delicate, light patterns with his fingers. Unthinkingly, he ran his fingertips against the waistband of her underwear. Jaina shifted under his touch.

How is this scenario going to end?

Kael hesitated. It's too soon. She's too young, and I can't... His hand drew away. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry," Jaina murmured, and gestured him upwards for a kiss, drawing it out. "We have time. A lot of time."

"We do," Kael said, smiling. "We have all the time in the world." Distantly, he could hear bells chiming. One, two... when the twelve sounded, he kissed Jaina again. "Happy Winter Veil, Jaina."

"Happy Winter Veil, Kael." Jaina smiled up at him. She freed a hand, and murmured a spell, tracing the lines in the air. After a moment, snowflakes drifted over them, caressing Kael's cheeks like gentle kisses. He smiled, and bent to kiss her again.

I know what I'll be wishing for next year.
