Notes: It's an HSU fic, but I wrote it ABH so enjoy if you're inclined.
It's just a quickie, but it beats sitting here at workwith nothing to do. :)

"Where are we going?"

"Not much farther."

"But it's coooollld," you reply, the words shivering out of you as the night air chills every inch of you except your hand, which he squeezes tighter as he leads you along the trail. The packed snow beneath your boots crunches loudly in the crisp stillness around you.

"We're almost there," he says, the sound of a smile in his voice.

"You like to torment me, don't you?"

"On occasion," he drawls as he looks over his shoulder at you, a mischievous little grin on his face.

"What was wrong with the jacuzzi? Or a nice spot in the front of the fireplace?" you say, placing your mittened hand to your cheek to try and warm your face.

"Nothing," he says. "But we can do that anywhere."

"Huh?"

"But *this* can only be done here," he says as he leads you into a clearing.

"Uhhhhh," you reply as he leads you to the parked sleigh.

"What's wrong?" he says, placing his hands at your waist to give you a boost as you step up into the sleigh.

"There aren't any horses," you say.

"We don't need horses," he says.

"Don't tell me you're going to Force whammy this thing into motion," you reply, placing your hands on your hips as you give him a dubious look.

"No, silly girl," he chuckles.

An amused smile perks up the corners of your mouth at the way he says that.

"But I'll Force whammy this," he says, arching an eyebrow at you as the powdery snow on the floor of the sleigh immediately clears off and spills down to the ground.

"Neat trick," you say. "Can you defrost car windows, too?"

"Only you," he says, leaning in to give you a sweet kiss, the contrast of his warm mouth to the rest of your chilled body causing a shiver of a different sort. He takes a step back, gives your nose a quick kiss, and then bends down and grabs the pile of blankets laying on the sleigh floor. He shakes the snow off and then sits down on the floor, extending a hand up to you.

"Okay, so when does the warm part start?" you ask as you sit down between his legs and lean back against his chest.

"Wait a minute," he says, pushing you forward slightly and unzipping his jacket. Then he pulls you into him, and your burrow back into his warmth as he pulls up the blankets and wraps his arms tightly around you, his bent legs squeezing your own. "Warm enough?" he asks, nuzzling your hair.

"Getting there," you murmur, turning your face toward his until you find his lips. You sigh as he kisses you slowly, your body warming quickly.

"You like?" he whispers.

"I like," you answer with a smile.

He returns a soft smile and kisses your forehead.

"But where are the bells on bobtail?" you say.

"The what?" he asks, his voice laced with amusement.

You laugh quietly and nuzzle his neck, feeling him smile as you snuggle under the stars.

The End
