The winter night’s often cruel breeze was something most people didn’t take very kindly to, with it often being a cause to people catching a sickness if they stayed out fir too long and such.
However, Vega couldn’t be more happy about the weather this night.
Since it had been extremely cold outside, it’s only natural that Vega had to stay over at Elliot’s bakery. To share body heat, to make sure Elliot was safe, multitudes of reasons, really! It’s purely scientific. At least, that’s what Vega told themself.
To be frank, Vega was very nervous.
He hadn’t expected Elliot to let Vega rest her head on her lap as she played with his hair.
The silence only made Vega more nervous. He felt scared to move even an inch, knowing her face was probably tomato red right now.
“Everything okay?”
Elliot asked, her voice in that soft, soothing tone that she always spoke in.
”Er—Yes! Everything’s fine! Just getting comfortable is all!”
Vega replied, snapping out of her train of thought.
Baker giggled at Vega’s expression, slowly moving her hands in order to cup Vega’s face, smiling as she heard Vega’s breath hitch at the contact.
They stayed in silence like that for a while.
Baker slowly brought her face down to Vega’s, pressing a kiss to their forehead.
Vega made a surprised little noise, but quickly melted into it.
“Y-You know, you remind me of the sun.”
Vega spoke quietly, trying to calm herself.
”Do I? Aww…”
Elliot’s voice sounded genuinely a little surprised, always being sincere about things.
”The sun is obviously known for its warmth…The warmth of a giant, gorgeous star.”
Vega kept talking, glad his idea of distracting herself from the fact Elliot is literally nose to nose with them by rambling was working.
Baker quietly listened to Vega talk, making sure not to interrupt them. Once Vega trailed off and all her talking came to a close, Baker gently pulled Vega’s mouth to her own in a kiss.
Vega shifted from where his head laid to sit up and kiss Baker, being very careful not to touch her. They could feel their face was probably pretty red.
Baker took Vega’s hands, leading it to hold her hips and wrapping her arms around Vega’s neck. Baker pulled away from the kiss for air, looking happy as ever.
Just as quickly as Baker pulled away, she kissed Vega again.
Vega could taste the sweetness and pie on Baker’s tongue. Vega felt Baker’s hands on their hair again, gripping their hair to keep Vega there.
They both melted into the feeling, kissing again, and again, and again…
They both gasp away to breathe, as nice as the kisses were. Vega heard Baker’s breathless laughter at how flustered he was.
”Vega…You are allowed to touch me if you want. You don’t have to wait for me to physically do it for you.”
Baker giggled.
“W-Well I…”
Vega struggled to come up with a response.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to say anything.”
Baker leaned into Vega’s chest, slowly moving her fingers up and down their shoulder.
