Danville was quiet, this late. The cold permeated the air, leaving both of them with an uncomfortable chill on their skin.
It was perfect.
The dark skies were a beautiful backdrop against the stark white snowflakes that fell, and the contrast drew their eyes to them.
Each one of these snowflakes was unique. Every one of them. They reminded him of someone.
He was holding Heinz, despite being a good few inches shorter than the man, even with the slouch. Heinz’s arms wrapped around his neck, warmth somehow emanating from them, despite the fact that they were metal. The bridal carry had been from their usual struggle over an inator, but it didn’t seem to matter much now. He didn’t want to let him go.
He watched as a particularly large flake landed on his nemesis’s nose, and he resisted the urge to kiss it off.
Wait—He could do that now!
He was no longer forced to hold back this affection that he held for Heinz, even if the OWCA disapproved. This was none of their business.
The snowflake had melted. Heinz’s wide eyes gazed at the falling snow around them, blue reflecting specks of white.
Another snowflake. This time on Heinz’s cheek.
Perry leaned in, and left a soft kiss on his face.
Quiet christmas music played from the open window of Heinz’s penthouse, the vinyl record spinning slowly. His nemesis’s eyes had shifted to Perry’s own, and he held his breath as he watched another snowflake flutter down to land on his lips.
He kissed it away.
