This one is coming early today because I have a jam-packed afternoon and night, but enjoy nonetheless!
Master Post and Notes Jensen was aware of two things. One, it was too early for his liking. Two, Jared was excited and surprisingly keeping his mouth shut as he dragged Jensen out of bed, down the stairs, and into the foyer.
Jared grinned as he wound a scarf around Jensen’s neck then did the same for himself. Followed by hats, gloves, and puffy winter jackets. Jared zipped Jensen up with a flourish, beaming even when Jensen just stood there, all sleepy and raised eyebrow, waiting for an explanation. It came after Jared pushed him through the house and out the back patio door. Jared jogged then launching himself off the deck and face first into feet of fluffy white snow.
Jensen stood on the deck and watched Jared roll over then shuck his legs and arms out, flapping out what had to be the world’s largest snow angel. Jensen crept down the stairs then snagged a handful of snow, packing it tightly and tossing it up with the most perfect projection to land right on Jared’s face.
“Hey!” he laughed heartily and spit snow out, wiped it away from his face, and then sat up and stared. “You comin’ or what?”
Jensen wanted to roll his eyes, grumble a you woke me up for this? but Jared’s puckered cheeks and sparkling eyes called for him to join in on the fun. Jensen jogged over, bringing his hands down through the snow and then sweeping handfuls of loose snow at Jared.
Jared caught Jensen’s wrist, bringing him down in a tumble of bundled-up limbs and bright laughter. They wrestled through the snow, packed handfuls of it down each other’s jackets and the backs of their pants. It went on for what felt like hours, but in fact was just a good quarter. Jared grabbed Jensen in a headlock and as Jensen fumbled with grabbing hold of Jared, Jensen snatched Jared’s hat then tossed it away.
Finally, Jensen wiggled his way out then scrambled over Jared’s back before whitewashing the guy, grinding his face right into the snow. Jared flipped over quickly, pinning Jensen to the ground and shaking his head, letting all the snow fall from his hair and onto Jensen’s face, laughing and grinning so brightly the entire time. And then he shifted, knees on either side of Jensen, hands holding Jensen’s more gently, and he leaned down. He kissed Jensen’s cheek, eating up bits of snow and better yet, warming Jensen’s cold-bitten skin.
Jensen turned his head, caught Jared’s mouth for a hot, wet kiss. With the shift from playfulness to affection, Jared shifted down with his body over Jensen, tight and warm. The layers of clothing did little to help any friction, and they both gave up before long, just staying there, billowed by snow and sharing mouths and tongues until it got to be too much.
Inside, Jensen brought two mugs of hot chocolate to the couch, handing one over to Jared then sitting down and sharing the huge comforter Jared was covering himself with. They tucked in close, only their heads and hands uncovered. Jared leaned over with a soft kiss to Jensen’s neck before laying his head at Jensen’s shoulder. And then Jensen smiled gently and closed his eyes as he burrowed closer to Jared, relishing the warmth and the quiet in the moment.
