The rest of the city cursed the blizzard, but not Yugi.
Week after week he’d waited for the perfect day. Between he and Atemu’s busy schedules, it seemed every day they had off work had to be spent running errands, raking the yard, buying groceries…and call him an old romantic if you would, but Yugi felt like the afterglow, of just that one first time if any, shouldn’t be marred by worrying about chores.
So when he’d heard last night about the blizzard bearing down on the city, he knew it was the moment they’d both been waiting on.
He stretched a bit under the heavy comforter. Atemu’s arm was draped across his midriff, Atemu himself still asleep, breathing softly against the back of Yugi’s neck.
Outside, the city was at a stand-still. He could hear the wind buffeting the windows, nothing but a blur of white outside the glass. There was no obligation to get up, no responsibility to be concerned with. They could lie in bed all day if they wanted, and Yugi had no intent of hastening their departure of the warm blankets.
Nestling and fitting himself more smoothly into the curve of his lover’s body, Yugi took Atemu’s hand and held it to his chest, entwining those long fingers with his own. Against his back, he felt Atemu shift and nuzzle closer to his shoulder.
He closed his eyes and smiled. It had been entirely worth the wait.

Notes: Yeah. For all my insisting that I would do something creative with this theme, I fell back on romance anyway. ^^;
I meant to post this two days ago for the start of Hanukkah. I'm sorry to my Jewish pals! I hope you don't mind a bit of late fluff.
