Work Text:
Rolling to the other side of the bed, you felt for the sleeping form of your boyfriend only to find out he wasn’t there. With a groan, you slowly sat up and saw that you were in the bed alone. Rubbing the sleep out of your eyes, you got up and slipped on a pair of slippers before slowly making your way to the kitchen.
Entering the room, you heard music blasting and saw that Kon was standing there with his back to you. No doubt he had heard you get up, the guy had super hearing. The windows were all frosted over from the cold weather outside so you could barely see out them. Taking sleepy steps, you wrapped your arms around him from behind and took in the warmth that radiated from his body.
“Good morning beautiful.” He said, placing a hand on yours that rested on his stomach.
“Morning.” You mumbled, nuzzling into his back. “Why are you up so early?”
“I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed.” He smiled, turning ever so slightly to look down at you.
Kon had the biggest smile on his face, your hair was a mess, and sleep still present in your beautiful eyes. But his favorite thing was that you were in one of his shirts, he was so big that it went down to your knees. Turning the heat down to low, he turned fully and wrapped you into a tight hug pulling you fully against him.
Burying your face in his chest, you let out a sigh of content. Kon always gave you the best hugs, he was the perfect height to just scoop you up into one and hold you close. He played with the straying hairs on your head and placed a small kiss on the top making your face heat up.
“I hope you’re hungry, I made pancakes.” He smiled, tilting your head up to look at him as his blue eyes shone down at you. You gave him a smile of your own and ran your fingers through his dark hair, making him chuckle softly and lead you to the table.
The way your apartment was set up, you could get a clear view of Metropolis and all you could see was white. The entire city was covered in a blanket of pure white snow as the sun reflected off of it like tiny crystals illuminating the ground.
Kon stepped into the room and smiled at the sight of you staring at the snow, if he wanted he could watch you for hours and never get bored. Setting the plates down, he placed a cup of coffee in your hands as you turned to look at him once more.
“You’re perfect, you know that right?” you asked, watching him take his seat across from you.
He let out a laugh, “Nowhere near as perfect as you Sunshine. Now, eat up it is the first time we both have the day off in a while and I am taking advantage of it.”
Giving him a side-glance, you took a bite of the fluffy pancakes a soft moan leaving your lips at the taste on your tongue. It seemed like Ma Kent had taught Kon how to cook because these tasted exactly like the ones she made the last time you and Kon had visited them.
“These are so good.” You murmured, eating more of the fluffy delicious-ness on your plate until it was gone. The idle conversation the two of you held we sweet as he asked you about how work was going with the upcoming winter break. The Titans were on a break at the moment with half of the team going home for the time being, but the two of you got to see Tim and Bart often.
The second your plate was empty, Kon picked you up and carried you back to your room.
“Conner Kent put me down!” you laughed, trying to wiggle out of his hold.
“No can do beautiful, I have a busy day planned as I said. Now get dressed for the cold, and do not come out until you are.” He chuckled as he set you down, shutting the door behind him as he left.
Giggling, you quickly changed out of your pajamas and dressed yourself in normal winter attire. You had no idea what Kon had planned for the two of you today but you were excited none the less. It didn’t take you long to get ready, leaving the confines of your room to see Kon waiting for you in the living room with his thick coat on and a scarf that was a deep blue and red.
The second you left your room; he walked over and placed a loving kiss on your lips making you smile even more.
“My lady.” He grinned, holding out your coat for you to slip into.
“You are such a dork Conner Kent.” You teased, buttoning the coat up and wrapping the scarf around your neck.
Kon’s blue eyes shone down at you with amusement, “Yes, but I am your dork sunshine.” He grinned. Grabbing your hat, he pushed it down onto your head, making it go over your eyes as you stood there with your arms crossed and tapping your foot.
Flipping it up over your eyes, he pecked your lips once more before he took your hand and led you out the door, and locked it behind you. Keeping his grip on your hand, Kon led you down the stairs and out the front door of your apartment building as the bright sun and cold air greeted you both.
Taking a deep breath, the wonderful feeling of winter filled you as you gripped his hand tighter. “So, where are we going?” you asked.
“You’ll see, now stop asking questions.” Kon chuckled, pulling you closer and starting to walk down the street. The stores were all decorated for Christmas with garland, lights, and ribbons galore. The street lights all had wreaths on them that had candy canes on them and people were out and about doing their holiday shopping.
Kon had his arm wrapped around your waist as the two of you walked in a comfortable silence. There was nothing you enjoyed more than just his company; you didn’t have to anything special but just be together. His body radiated heat as he warmed your figure from the cold, keeping you pressed to his side.
As you both walked, you tried to figure out where he was leading you only to be surprised when he led you towards Metropolis Park which was almost blinding from all the snow. What on earth was he going to do here? Looking up at him to try and gauge his feelings, you couldn’t tell anything. Kon had his signature smile on his face, the one he always had when he was with you.
“What are we doing at the park?” you asked, trying to get him to answer.
“Didn’t I say it was a surprise?” he asked.
You rolled your eyes and let him lead you into the park as you followed the path. The first thing the two of you came across was a stand selling hot chocolate. Without saying a word, Kon had walked over and bought you both a steaming cup handing you yours with a big grin on his face.
“Is this what you dragged me out here for?” You asked. “Hot chocolate? We have plenty at home.”
“This is only part of our day; the other part should be here in about thirty seconds.” He answered winking at you.
Counting to thirty in your head, you heard something in the distance that sounded like bells? Slowly you turned to see what was coming and your jaw dropped to see a horse-drawn sleigh stop right in front of you. Quickly you looked up at Kon who was smiling down at you.
“Your sleigh awaits milady.” He said with the cheesiest grin on his face.
You could feel the heat rising in your cheeks as he helped you into the sleigh, sitting down beside you and placing the blanket over your laps. His arm was wrapped around your shoulders, keeping you close to him as you leaned into his touch.
The driver whipped the reigns and the horses started to trot down the path that led deeper into the park as you smiled brightly at the sights around you. Metropolis Park was a winter wonderland, and who better to share it with than your boyfriend.
“So, how do you like your surprise so far?” he asked, kissing the top of your head.
“It’s amazing!” You beamed up at him, “I’ve never been on a horse-drawn sleigh before, and this is absolutely perfect.”
Kon smiled down at you, tilting your head up so he could kiss your frozen lips. “I’m glad, just wait until we get to our next stop.”
You kept a confused look on your face as you sipped your hot chocolate, enjoying the cold with him. The sounds of the sleigh-bells ringing filled the air as bluebirds sung their happy tune. The city looked like it came straight out of a Holiday card, with the evergreens covered in fresh snow and the sky blue as could be.
Soon, the sleigh pulled to a stop at the end of the path where a crowd of people was waiting for something. Before you could speak, Kon was up and helping you out of the sleigh, holding your empty cups as you stepped down. Your foot slid out from under you, and Kon was there in a second to catch you in his arms, his baby-blue glistening down at you in amusement.
“After all this time, you’re still falling for me.” He grinned.
He set you on your feet as you hit him on the shoulder with a laugh. “You can’t go five minutes without being cheesy, can you?” you teased.
“You should really know me better than that, sunshine.” He grinned and took your hand, leading you down the walking path towards the large group of people. What you didn’t notice, was where the group was gathered.
Stopping at the edge of the crowd, you noticed that there was a large skating rink in the middle of the park and people were trying to force their way through to pay for skates and tickets. Of course, Kon being the gentleman he is had bought your tickets online so you did not have to wait in line.
He came back to you holding two pairs of skates, with the biggest smile on his face. Kon had never been ice skating, and he was excited to try it. Having done it yourself, he knew that you would enjoy this for sure. If all else fails, he would enjoy getting to hold you close as you helped him around the rink.
The two of you walked your way around to the entrance and sat on a bench to change into the skates. You had managed to lace yours up easily and helped Kon lace his. It was obvious he was struggling but did not mind the assistance from you.
Keeping your balance, you slowly walked your way through the gate with Kon right behind you and slid onto the ice letting out a content sigh. Turning around, you saw Kon struggling a little to keep his balance as his feet slid around on the ice.
Who would have thought that a Kryptonian clone could not keep balance on ice skates?
With a giggle, you skated closer to him and gripped his hands. “Look at me, not the ground.” His hands gripped yours tightly and looked up at your face with his signature smirk.
“I would totally fly and make myself look balance, but then I wouldn’t have an excuse to hold you close.” He teased, leaning over to peck your lips.
You gave him an amused smile, Kon had a point but you still thought it was entertaining that he did not have good balance naturally. The two of you skated around the rink, Kon holding you close in his arms while you helped him balance. The cold tickled your faces, as flecks of snow sprung up with the wind landing on your lashes and hair.
Kon had a hard time paying attention to where he was going, he was more occupied with watching you have the time of your life as you skated around the rink. After a bit, he decided to stand off to the side and watch you skate around with the breeze brushing your scarf and hair in different directions.
The way you looked had him mesmerized as he watched you turn and skate backward with your eyes closed. He had no idea what led him to do this, but before either of you knew it Kon had stepped away from the wall and held his arms out to catch you forgetting that he had terrible balance.
You collided into his chest and the both of you fell over onto the ice with a yell of surprise. Kon was sprawled on his back with you on top of him. He let out a laugh and pushed your hat up that had fallen over your eyes.
“Conner Kent, what the fuck were you thinking?” you asked, hitting him on the chest.
“I was thinking that I wanted to be cute and romantic, and catch my girl.” He responded looking around seeing the looks you got from other people. “I can see now that was a bad idea.”
You shook your head with a laugh and slowly got up off the ice and helped him up. The two of you decided that it was time to start heading back, the sky was growing dark and it was starting to get colder. With the fall, your clothes were now slightly damp and cold. That only made the way back less exciting than the trip to the park.
The second the two of you were in the safety of your apartment, you made a dash for the shower peeling off your clothes as you went. Nothing sounded more comforting than a hot shower to wash away the cold. It didn’t take long for you to get in and out, drying off with the freshly dried towel Kon must have left for you along with some thermal leggings and a shirt of his that was also warm.
With a smile, you dried off and dressed in the clothes he left for you complete with fuzzy socks. Stepping out, you heard clattering noises coming from the kitchen once again.
“Kon, what are you doing baby?” you asked, walking in to see him hunched over the stove again.
He turned to look at you holding up two cups and a plate full of cookies and other wintery treats. “I was thinking of a movie to finish off the night with some hot chocolate and cookies. This is Ma’s recipe so you know it’s a good one.” He chuckled and let you take the plate of goodies before you retired to the couch and popping in a favorite holiday movie.
As the movie played out, you curled into his side with your cup warming your hands. The cookies were long gone and you felt sleep start to overcome you, but didn’t let it ruin the moment. No matter where you went, you just wanted to be held in Kon’s arms and that was how you were going to end the amazing day you had with him.
