Special thanks to Tech-man for the speedy beta read (and the title). Ok, yes, this is short, but you have to understand that I had this idea for an awesome beginning, and then well . . . I kinda lost sight of where I was going. Oh well, it's fluffy and sweet, and really, that's all we need for JakexRose fic.

Rose stands complacent as the bitter cold caressed her lips. Winter in New York was always exciting. White crowned trees, snow dusted rooftops and dazzling displays of holiday lights always turned the majestic city into an even more majestic winter wonderland. But this year was different. Snow refused to fall, yet the insistent cold bellowed through the streets, freezing the sidewalks and hardening hearts. This made for rather unpleasant nighttime patrols, made even more unpleasant by her “Dwidle-De and Dwidle-Dumb” wanna-be companions. The only silver lining was the off chance she got to engage in play-battle with her audacious boyfriend and seeing Jake, in dragon form or not, made any day ten times better. Dating a dragon did have its drawbacks, such as secret meetings, backstabbing her superiors and dates ruined by “duty calls,” but for the most part things sailed relatively smoothly.
Relatively.
Rose sighs, shifts, stretches, and then looks around for any evidence of a special someone coming towards her. Seeing no one, she exhales a dejected breath of air and dully watches as the cold morphs it into a fluffy white cloud that spins and contorts until it evaporates into nothingness. She watches as more wisps of visible air peter out of her mouth and transform into nebulas shapes of flower petals, teacups and dragons. Wait? Dragons? And why are they on fire? Rose stumbles out of her reverie and turns to see a complacent Jake standing behind her, smoke swirls rising from his mouth.
“I see someone has been working on their fire breathing,” she coos.
“That was nothing,” he pulls in a deep breath of air; then blows out the fiery forms of a long slinky dragon intertwined with a single stemmed rose. He puffs out his chest in pride at the sight of an electrified smile spreading across Rose’s delicate face.
“So do you do children’s birthday parties too?” she teases. He shoots her a sly look.
“Baby doll, please,” he saunters over and takes her hands into his own. “Little children can’t handle this firepower.” The low winter sun reflects off his smile in a dazzling array.
“Oh?” She raises an eyebrow and soaks in the gentle heat radiating off his always warm body.
“Maybe you can’t handle it either,” he challenges her. She flashes a smile to match his.
“News flash, dragon boy,” she flips over her hand, palm side up, revealing the dragon shaped birthmark. “I was born to handle the heat.”
“Care to put your money where your mouth is?” He pulls her chilly hands towards his lips and blows a gentle warm breeze across them, watching intently as a faint blush paints the tips of her ears and cheeks. Her lashes flutter shut and her body tips to lean into him slightly.
“Maybe,” she mutters into his ear, taking full advantage of the closeness and warmth leeching. Jake takes the opportunity to encircle his arms around her tiny waist and brush his tepid lips against hers. She falls into him completely, allowing his sizzling mouth to warm up her own. Rose can’t help but think this moment wouldn’t be perfect with anyone else.
Yeah, dating a dragon had its drawbacks, but the benefits seemed to make nothing else matter.

Oooo, did I get away with my subtle tense change? *runs to hide*
