Theme 28 Frozen

He didn't know how long he sat there for, but the snow was piling up on and around him. His fingers felt frost bitten in his gloves, but there was nothing he could do about that at the moment.

There were steps on the pavement behind him, and Luffy stood up with a smile as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his jacket.

"You're done." Luffy smiled, relieved that they could go home now.

"Yup, let's go." Sanji smiled back, stopping at the shorter teen's side and fumbling in his pocket for the keys to his car. Once he found them, the both of them walked out into the parking lot, their shoes crunching over the gravel and ice from the road. Luffy slipped into the passenger side and Sanji into the driver's side, their doors closing at the same time.

Sanji turned the key in the ignition and flipped on the heater before putting the car in drive and pulling out onto the road. It was icy, that much was obvious from the slight sheen on the lane in front of them. Sanji drove slowly, his palm upturned on the console between him and Luffy. The raven didn't even think twice before slipping the glove off of his right hand and lacing their fingers together.

"Jesus!" Sanji gasped, tightening his hand reflexively around Luffy's and bringing it to his mouth to kiss his fingers. "Your hands are freezing." The blonde muttered, feeling slightly guilty for making his boyfriend wait out in the cold for him to get out of class. "Why didn't you wait inside of the building, Luffy?" Sanji asked, glancing at him briefly.

Luffy shrugged his shoulders, because honestly the cold didn't bother him as much as the other boy thought. He was used to it.

"Okay, that's it. When we get back to my apartment, I'm making you some of my special hot chocolate." The blonde nodded his head firmly and flashed the teen in the passenger's seat a fond smile. "I'll get you warmed up soon, promise."
