Snow. in London?
I mean, of course it happened, but rarely. Never enough to stick, and definitely not enough to ground the busy city to a standstill.
That's why when Phil opened the curtains on his birthday to a winter wonderland, he could barely contain his excitement.
‘Dan!! wake up, it snowed, we need to get dressed and go play in it, my birthday wish came true’
He didn't wait for his sleeping boyfriend to react before he bounded towards their walk-in wardrobe to grab his warmest clothes and get dressed.
‘Dannn, come on, up you oaf, what the..’
He pulled the covers back to reveal that it wasn't Dan in bed, but a pile of pillows arranged to look like him.
There was a thud against the bedroom window, which distracted Phil from his ‘not boyfriend ‘ in bed. He looked out the window to see Dan, out in their garden, throwing snowballs at the window.
‘I made a snowman for your birthday rat, it was supposed to be a surprise, but you ruined it, get out here then’
Phil quickly made his way downstairs, pulling on his shoes and out of the door which led to their garden. It was so beautiful, cold enough that he would freeze in about five minutes, even with his warmest clothes, but for now, he didn't care, he just wanted to spend some time with Dan, enjoying their winter wonderland.
‘Can we make snow angels Dan?’
‘of course we can my love, it's your birthday after all, c'mon, here look’
Dan pointed behind where their cherry blossom tree was to a patch of crisp white untouched snow, as he grabbed Phil's hand and pulled him backwards, stretching both of their arms out. They hit the snow with a soft thud, both spreading their arms to make angels, Dan turned and looked over at Phil, who had somehow ended up with snow all over his face, his grinned and slowly leaned over to brush it away from Phil's eyes.
‘Happy birthday Phil, I love you’ he leaned over and kissed Phil softly as he cupped his face.
‘There’s a hot chocolate station set up in the kitchen, and we can watch whatever you want today’
Phil really was the luckiest man in the whole world.
