Warmth Soothes the Soul

Summary:

Kieran's Seasonal Affective Disorder is back in full swing with the first heavy Kitakami snowfall of the year. Thankfully, his little family is ready to keep him company and dote on him.

Notes:

This drabble's parent story is "No Sense of Direction!"

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Kieran watched absently as the snowflakes fell into gargantuan piles and sheets outside. Ogerpon rested soundly on his lap, soaking up the warmth of his body heat, his blanket, and the lit fireplace nearby.

“Hey, Kiki,” Juliana whispered, leaning down and extending a cup of hot chocolate, “got a delivery for ya.”

Kieran sighed contentedly, a tiny smile forming as he gingerly took it. “Thanks, Jules, you’re the best.”

“Anytime,” Juliana smiled, kissing his forehead and plopping down next to him.

For a moment, things didn’t seem so blue anymore — not with his wife and little girl by his side.

Notes:

This is my first time writing fluff in a while. It feels nice to take a break from writing a bunch of heavy stuff and focus on something lighter and sweeter. If you want to cry cozy, happy tears, pair this drabble with "A Place to Call Home" or "A Place to Call Home (Music Box)" from TS!Underswap. I was listening to them while writing this, and it made me feel all the more content. I know Dipplinshipping is by far the most popular thing on this story list so far, next to Detroit: Become Human. I want to keep giving you what you want. I just hope you'll continue to stick with me throughout my experimentation. Take care, stay safe, stay hydrated, and I love all of you. Thanks for reading, and stay cozy this holiday season! (I know we're still in November, let me be jolly.)
