It was a cold evening. this isn't something unusual for South Park, but this time it was a lot colder than anyone's used to. it's really windy, and the wind is freezing cold. also, its already pretty late and impossible to go outside because there is a really strong blizzard outside, stronger than usual.
Jimbo sits together with his husband in front of the TV, watching the news. they live in a small town, and even though it may be really crazy here sometimes it still remains a small town. so therefore there aren't any really interesting local news.
the fireplace is cracking behind them, warming their home up a bit
"When was the last time it snowed this hard, huh Ned?"
Jimbo isn't really taking his gaze from the TV, Ned grabs his voice box and presses it against his throat
"mm, not sure. long ago"
Jimbo nods to show the smaller man that he's paying attention.
the wind outside is really strong and loud, well, this isn't really a problem. but they live near a forest. and the strong wind sometimes breaks branches off the trees. this time, it also happened. a loud crash outside.
Jimbo didn't really care, but after a few seconds he saw Ned startled next to him.
"Ned-"
The smaller man snaps out of it. shit likes this sometimes happens when he hears sudden loud noises he wasnt prepared for. trauma flashbacks.
Ned rubs his face. he hates this. he's glad that Jimbo distracted him.
"Are ya okay buddy?"
Jimbo turned his attention to his husband next to him. Ned shooks his shoulders. he doesn't know how to feel. the TV isn't really helpful at distracting, at least for ned.
Jimbo softly grabs Ned and pushes him closer to his body, so they can cuddle. Ned's eyes widen a bit at first, but he's used to cuddling his husband so it's not much of a deal.
"Are ya comfortable?"
Ned thinks for a few seconds. then he sits down a bit differently and nods as he rests his head against the bigger man's chest.
Jimbo smiles and let a hand run through Ned's hair to comfort him. also, he places a small soft kiss on his head. Ned gets touch starved pretty quick, and aside from that, being so close to Jimbo has always comforted him. he really wouldn't know what to do without him.
the smaller man presses himself closer against the other man and hugs him. Jimbo, just like Ned, doesn't mind the closeness. he really enjoys it.
"are ya better now?"
Jimbo smiles as Ned nods. it feels really good to successfully comfort your loved ones.
both men continue to watch TV, until they'll eventually fall asleep holding each other.
