Work Text:
Taehyung woke up with his garden buried in snow.
He tried so hard to stay awake last night waiting for the first snow to fall but he gave up at midnight because who is he kidding, he’s not Yoongi. He couldn’t stay up till the morning, midnight is where he drew the line. He went to bed and Yoongi still continued working on a song even though it was Taehyung’s idea to stay up late.
“I already drank too much coffee tae, I couldn’t go to sleep right now,” he said. Then Taehyung gave him a goodnight kiss and went to bed after telling Yoongi “please don’t leave me alone in the bed for more than past 2am hyung it’s cold” so that Yoongi wouldn’t go to bed when the sun is rising up. Taehyung feels Yoongi’s warm draped behind him a couple hours after he went to bed.
So now, the sun is rising when Taehyung opens his eyes and sees their garden buried in snow through the window of their bedroom. Taehyung heart pounds with excitement on his chest. There’s nothing that Taehyung loves more than snow. Well, maybe Yoongi but Taehyung feels like what he feels for Yoongi is bigger than love itself he couldn’t quite describe it. The purity of the white snow, landing on the surface of earth. Cleansing the bad from the world and leaving it in it’s new form.
Taehyung loves playing in the snow, be damned with the cold as long as he’s happy. Something in making beautiful shapes with something that just fell from the sky makes Taehyung feel giddy like he’s a little boy again. Free and happy.
Taehyung turns around to see Yoongi still sleeping soundly beside him. Cheeks all squeezed up on the pillow. Nose a little red peeking up from the blanket that covers up all of him so that only half of his face is peeking up from under the blanket. He looks so cozy and snuggly, Taehyung had half the mind to tuck Yoongi under his chin, wrap him up in his arm and go back to sleep.
But the snow,
But also Yoongi goes to bed pretty late last night and it’s only seven in the morning. So maybe Taehyung will go back to sleep and let Yoongi rest a little bit more before Taehyung drags him out to play in the snow.
An hour later and Taehyung is still wide awake.
He just lay there admiring Yoongi's peaceful face with the snow still falling behind him. He looks like an angel, Taehyung thought. Playing with his soft and fluffy hair while giving him kisses on the nose and cheeks and forehead, Taehyung is as happy as he could be like when he plays in the snow. Burying his face on the crown of Yoongi’s head and embracing his boyfriend until the sun fully rises, Taehyung feels so peaceful and content.
And maybe when Yoongi snuggles a little bit closer to Taehyung and buries his face on the crook of Taehyung's neck and exhales a relief breath like somehow he found Taehyung in his dreams, Taehyung fell in love all over again.
It was around 8 when Yoongi finally stirs in his sleep and slowly opens his eyes. Taehyung pulls back to see his face, cradle his cheeks and give tiny kisses on his lips.
“Good morning,” Taehyung softly wispher.
Yoongi finally opens his eyes and says, “Were you watching me while I slept Edward?”
Taehyung just giggles and gives Yoongi’s lip one more peck. Yoongi stretches his body with his arm going up and purring like a cat. Taehyung just lay there looking at his boyfriend and thanking whichever god up there to bless him with such an amazing person.
Lord, Taehyung is so in love.
“oh,” Yoongi says as he looks outside the window behind him, “the snow tae,” when he turns around Taehyung is already smiling his biggest smile at Yoongi.
“Let's play hyung,” Taehyung says, finally getting up. So excited to play in the snow and maybe build a snowman that looks like Yoongi.
“Well then undress me baby boy,” Yoongi says seducingly, not moving from his position on the bed, teasing the younger.
“Not that kind of play you horndog,” Taehyung threw the nearest pillow at Yoongi’s face.
“Come on hyung, I waited so long for this,” Taehyung whined and managed his biggest puppy eyes and formed a pout.
Which is very very unfair for Yoongi and his heart, it’s not even 10 yet and his heart already takes such brutal attack.
“It’s still early baby, and I barely open my eyes,” Yoongi tries, even though he knows he will oblige anyway.
“Hyung..” Taehyung whined once more.
And Yoongi is already getting up even before he says, “fine, but you need to warm me up when we’re finish playing,”
“why are you so dirty hyung,” Taehyung teases.
“okay then I’m going back to sleep,” Taehyung already rushed to Yoongi’s side to push him to the bathroom before his back could hit the bed again.
“Kidding love,” Taehyung says giggling and he buried his face in Yoongi’s neck while hugging him from behind and walked them to the bathroom to brush their teeth and face. Yoongi just pretends to be a statue so that Taehyung puts more effort to push them to the bathroom, maybe also because he’s body is barely awake too.
“I demanded a nice and long cuddles once we’re finished to deal with the consequences of my freezing body later,”
“Anything my baby wants.”

Once they put on warm clothes, a camera in Taehyung’s neck, they headed to their garden with Holy and Yeontan tailing behind their feed. Jumping and running around together in the snow feeling as excited as Taehyung to finally see and feel the snow this year.
Taehyung was very very happy. Kicking up his feet to see the snow falls from his winter boots. Crouched down to grab the snow in his hand and throw it up just to see it falls with the rest of the snowflakes from the sky.
Yoongi stood there looking at his boyfriend with a fond look on his eyes and his hand in his pocket because it’s freezing, but maybe it’s all worth it to see the smile on Taehyung's face. Which brings a smile to his face too.
They played in the snow for hours, morning filled with snow and laughter. Soft touches and soft kisses. They build a snowman that Taehyung insisted looks like Yoongi with the catlike mouth. Yoongi just think it looks like any other snowman. Holy and Yeontan managed to destroy the snowman with all their playing and running around. Taehyung took a picture of the snow, Yoongi, the snowman, Yoongi, Holy and Yeontan, Yoongi, and their garden with the falling snowflakes. And maybe Taehyung laughed a little too hard when Yoongi eats the snow.
Happiness and love blooming in their chests.
Perhaps coldness is blooming inside Yoongi too.
“Taetae,” Yoongi says, sitting on the snow while extending his hands toward Taehyung. “‘m cold,” he pouted at the younger.
Taehyung couldn’t help but coo at the older, taking a quick snap of Yoongi all bundled up in the middle of their snowed garden looking like a kitten asking to be picked up, “is my little baby cold?”
“‘m not little,” Yoongi pouted and dropped his extended hand. Taehyung giggled as he approached and picked him up.
“Of course baby,” Taehyung wrapped his hands around Yoongi and tucked Yoongi’s head under his chin so he could rub his back and bury his cold nose to Yoongi’s damped hair from the snow. Inhaling his boyfriend’s comforting scent that smells like home. Yoongi just wraps his arms around Taehyung’s torso and pulls the younger one as close as he can. For the warmth, of course.
Standing in the middle of their garden together, Yoongi safe and sound in his arms with the snow falling and maybe the coldness of the winter starts to bite him. Taehyung couldn’t be happier. He took a deep breath and just absorbed the moment. Feeling so grateful for Yoongi.
“I love you,” Taehyung says
Yoongi stills for a moment in his arms. Because no matter how many times Taehyung says it to him and shows it through his actions, Yoongi just couldn’t get used to the fact that Kim Taehyung loves him as much as he loves him. Even when they’ve been together for four years. Even after they move in together to this day. But Yoongi recovers more quickly now compared to the first few months Taehyung first says it, and keeps saying it.
“I love you too,” He mumbles into Taehyung’s chests.
Taehyung smiles and pulls back to look at Yoongi in the eyes. “What was that? Couldn’t quite catch you there hyung,” he says while cupping Yoongi’s face in his hand.
“I said I love you too you little-” Yoongi couldn’t finish his sentence as Taehyung crashed their lips together. Taehyung’s soft lips tastes like strawberry against Yoongi’s. A little cold but Yoongi could never mind because kissing Taehyung might be his favourite activity. He could keep kissing Taehyung forever. He could feel the younger’s smile against his lips and Yoongi felt so happy to be at this moment.
Yoongi parted his mouth to let Taehyung’s teasing tongue in, sucking at his bottom lip. Drinking each other with the snow falling all around them. Yoongi didn’t even feel cold anymore. He feels warm. Taehyung is all around him, body heat becoming one in the middle of the freezing winter. Yoongi couldn’t help but keep drinking in the younger like he’s stranded in a desert and finally found a drip of water.
He feels drunk in the kiss. Funny, he thinks, how even after four years of kissing, Yoongi could still be easily lost in the feelings of the younger’s lips against his. They kiss for what feels like hours and the falling snows gets a little bit heavier. When Taehyung pulled away, he leaned his forehead against Yoongi and inhaled the same air Yoongi exhaled. They smile like a fool in love, because obviously they are. Both of them feel so full in their heart at that moment that they just want to live in it forever.
But Yoongi is cold again and Taehyung really wants a hot cocoa. And perhaps both of them want to be tangled up in each other buried in their blankets near the fireplace to be warm.
Yeontan started scratching at his ankle, and Holy was already standing in front of their back door. Looking back at Yoongi and Taehyung then back to the door.
“Let’s get in, we don’t want the baby to get frostbite now do we?” Taehyung steps back and takes Yoongi’s hand in his while walking them back inside. Yeontan follows them, running past them and patiently waits for Yoongi and Taehyung to open the door with Holy.
“Yeah, you’re the baby.” Yoongi grumbled, but still couldn’t help the fond smile on his face.
“Sure baby,” Taehyung chuckle.
They warmed up with Yoongi all bundled up with Taehyung inside their blanket near their fireplace. Taehyung’s front pressing against Yoongi’s back while he sits in the middle of Taehyung’s open legs on their couch. Their hot cocoa in hand while Taehyung’s arm embraces Yoongi’s smaller frame. Taehyung’s favourite jazz music is playing from Yoongi’s speaker, filling up the comfortable silence. Holy curled up in Yoongi’s lap and Yeontan snoozing at their feet.
They fit each other so perfectly with love blooming on their hearts.
Maybe they spend the whole day just lazing around and making out while the snow keeps falling outside. Getting up only to take a hot shower together and eat their meals.
There’s no place in the world that could be more perfect than this, no moment that could feel more warm.
With Taehyung’s heart feeling like it could explode from all the love it had for Yoongi. And Yoongi’s heart that just couldn’t stop beating with love for the younger.
