Work Text:
Ben and Kenji are having a picnic date on a crisp autumn day. The wind blows and Ben shivers.
"Are you cold?" Kenji asks, looking at Ben with concern.
"No," Ben states firmly "I'm an outdoorsman now, I don't get cold."
Kenji shrugs and they continue eating.
They finish eating but continue to hang out and talk. The sun is starting to set, bringing the temperature down even more. At this point Ben's teeth are chattering. Kenji sighs and asks again "Are you sure you're not cold? Maybe we should go back inside."
"I'm fine," Ben insists "I'm not cold."
"Ben you're clearing freezing, just admit you're cold," Kenji teases.
"No. Not cold," Ben repeates.
Kenji moves closer to Ben and pulls him into a hug.
"What are you doing?" Ben questions.
"Can't I hug my awesome boyfriend for no reason?" Kenji asks with a smirk
Ben looks at him suspiciously "I suppose so."
The wind picks up and Ben shivers again, prompting Kenji to hug him tighter.
"Kenji?" he says softly "Are you trying to keep me warm?"
Kenji stays silent for a moment before admitting "Maybe."
Ben rolls his eyes "I told you I'm not cold."
Kenji raises an eyebrow inquisitively, clearly not believing him.
Ben sighs "Okay," he admits "maybe..." he pauses to think, before smirking and adding "my lips are a little cold."
Kenji smiles and leans in, happy to keep his lips warm.
