Cold Boi Hours

His teeth chattered loudly as he huddled into himself. Jaren pulled his jacket even further closed in an attempt to keep him warm. John walked over and placed a cup of hot cocoa on the table beside him before sitting down beside him and wrapping them in a blanket. Jaren leaned into John, both hivering from the cold.

“This is bullshit,” Jaren laughed. “It’s so damn cold.”

“I’m sorry,” John said, shifting closer to his partner. “If I had known the heater was busted, I wouldn’t have pulled you out here with me.” Jaren shook his head.

“No, don’t apologize. It’s alright. I’m just glad we get to spend time with each other,” He smiled and kissed John softly. The two sipped at their cocoa and cuddled into one another for warmth.

John had invited his boyfriend out to his family’s cabin. It was a nice and roomy place, and it typically didn’t have any issues. But the night the pair decided to head up, the heater had broken and the two were stuck in the cold. They called the maintenance people, but they had no clue when they were going to arrive.

“Do you want to put something on?” Jaren asked and John nodded.

“Sure, what do you want to watch?”

“Anything really. I don’t care.” John stood up and sifted through the limited supply of movies the pair had brought with them. John noticed that the majority of movies they brought with them were horror movies. He found this a bit comical considering how poorly Jaren handled horror movies.

John popped one of the scary movies into the dvd player and retreated back to the warmth of his lover. He tucked himself back under the blanket and into Jaren’s arms. The movie began playing and Jaren cuddled closer to John.

“Of course you picked a horror movie,” Jaren taunted and John threw his hands up in defense.

“What? You were the one who picked the movies!” John laughed.

“I know, but still!” John rolled his eyes playfully and kissed Jaren’s cheek.

As the movie played on, Jaren’s eyes were hyper fixated on the screen. His hand gripped John’s tightly as a way to ease his own fears. The suspenseful music picked up and Jaren looked as if he were going to throw himself over the back of the couch. John’s attention had long been pulled away from the movie. He had been watching his lover’s reactions, admiring him as well as picking on him a bit.

As the suspense built, it was clear to see how tense Jaren was. John thought of a devious little plan as he watched his lover, seeing him unconsciously lean closer to the screen and grip his hand tighter. John waited a few more seconds to allow more build up, and then…

“Boo!” He yelled and Jaren screamed, jumping up and flipping himself over the arm of the couch. He landed on the floor with a soft thud, and through John’s laughter, he let out a soft “Are you okay?”

“Fuck you!” Jaren yelled standing up. The smile on his face showed that he wasn’t truly angry.

“I- I’m so- I’m so sorry!” He spoke between laughs. “I’m sorry, baby. I was planning on scaring you, but I didn’t think it’d be that bad.”

“You suck!” Jaren laughed, jumping back into the couch on top of John and lightly punching his arm.

“Okay! Okay! I’m sorry!” He laughed and pulled the smaller down into a hug, wrapping them back up in the blanket. “It’s too cold for fighting, only cuddling.”

“You started it,” Jaren mumbled and John laughed.

“What are you? Five?” They both laughed and cuddled into each other once more.

“You’re dumb,” Jaren said in a playfully grumpy tone.

“I know, baby, but you chose me. So what does that make you?”

“Shut up, dummy.” John laughed at his partner’s childish insults and kissed the top of his head. Then all of a sudden, both boys were startled by a loud knock on the door. They jolted upright and looked to one another in shock. The scary movie had gotten the pair a bit anxious. John stood up and walked over to the door, opening it slightly.

“Hello?” He spoke and a large man stood in front of the door.

“Hey, there! I fixed up your heater. All you should have to do now is flip the switch,” The man smiled at John and he immediately processed. He opened the door a bit wider.

“Oh! Thank you!” He spoke, grabbing his wallet and paying the maintenance worker.

“Sure thing! You have a nice night!” The man headed off and John closed the door. John walked over to the heater and flipped it off and then on again, hearing the sound of it starting up.

“Hell yeah!” He cheered and headed back over to Jaren. “The heat is back on, so it should warm up soon.”

“Does this mean no more cuddling?” Jaren pouted and John shook his head.

“There’s always time for cuddling,” he ran over and hopped onto the couch beside him, cuddling his lover and peppering his face with kisses. Jaren giggled at the tickling sensation.

“You’re so dumb!” He laughed and John pulled back to look at him.

“I love you, Jare,” He sighed happily.

“I love you, too, dummy,” Jaren leaned up and kissed his lips. John smiled and kissed him again, then cuddled into Jaren again.

The air began to warm and the two began feeling sleepy. “Goodnight, baby,” John mumbled sleepily and Jaren smiled, kissing the top of his head.

“Goodnight, my love.”
