Cold. That's how you'd describe the weather outside. Milder early winter temperatures had dropped to sub-zero; so much so the weather team had decided to let this current snow storm die out, rather than risk hypothermia to one of the team.

It was close to hearths warming eve, a day many-a pony anticipated. a time for presents for the fillies and colts, and time to meet old friends or new acquaintances.

And for two ponies, a time for a lot of cuddling.

"Here you go Aegis." Spotlight said, the orange unicorn entering the fire-lit living room, levitating two steaming cups of hot chocolate with his magic. His blue eyes looked around the room from behind a mane of messy black and white; constantly in a state of perpetual frazzleness. The Christmas tree was turned off, the TV shut down, and only the fire illuminated the room. Spotlight made the smallest of 'aww' noises in the back of his throat as his eyes finally rested on Aegis.

The brown-coated Pegasus lay snoring gently on the hearth rug, his eyes closed and mouth curled upwards slightly in a content smile behind a short red mane which matched his tail. The warmth of the fire sent flickering lights across his face, basking him in a warmth glow. Spotlight almost thought twice about not waking up Aegis, but knew he should. The fire would die down soon, and a quick glance outside showed the snow was picking up in speed, slowly becoming a blizzard.

Spotlight gently put the two drinks on the mantle, next to the small countdown calendar and two stockings hung up, and laid beside Aegis. He looped his forelegs around Aegis' back, nuzzling the back of his head.

"Aegis." Spotlight whispered, giving the ear a little lick. "Come on hun, drinks are ready." Aegis just wiggled in his sleep and made a small, almost cat-like hum at the contact. Spotlight's heart couldn't take much more cuteness, especially from Aegis; he'd shown, quite effectively, that he could bend Spotlight around his hoof with the right pitying look and big shiny eyes.

"Aegis come on now, or ill throw you outside. " He gave the brown Pegasus a shove, finally nudging him awake. He blinked a few times, yawned widely, and finally caught sight of Spotlight.

"Oh, hey." He said sleepily, planting a small kiss on Spotlight's lips. nothing sexual, just a reminder he was still there. "How long was I out for?" He turned his head in thought, a tuft of mane sticking out, giving him such a cute expression. More adorableness. Spotlight really doubted he'd last another five minutes at this rate.

"Only a short while." Spotlight replied, blushing gently. "Oh yeah, and the drinks are done." He said, looking up and levitating the drinks down to them. "I hope you like marsh..."

Aegis had fallen asleep again on Spotlight's shoulder. Spotlight gave a deadpan stare at nopony in particular, and tutted under his breath. But he couldn't stay mad at him. He just looked to gosh darn cute.

"Ohh Aegis~" Spotlight chimed, using his magic to press gently on the sides of Aegis' ribs, tickling him awake.

"Wait, wha? Oh no! Spotlight no-ahh HAhaaAGHah!" Aegis wriggled around, him being highly ticklish. Spotlight chuckled as well, but after a few seconds, relented the adorable onslaught.

Aegis took a few seconds to catch his breath. "A simple... shake would... have sufficed." But he giggled anyway, and wrapped his hooves around the other, pushing their bodies as close as possible. "I do love you though." He said warmly.

"And you too hun." Spotlight responded. Outside, the storm had turned into a fully fledged blizzard, taking small amounts of tinsel from a few outdoor decorations.

They sat like that for a few minutes, just enjoying each others company, both amazed they managed to find somepony so perfect for them.

After a short while, Spotlight shrugged gently, facing Aegis. "Your drinks there by the way." He said, tilting his had towards the two cups of nearly-hot-hot-chocolate. Spotlight picked up his own and took a sip, absentmindedly levitating another log on the fire.

Aegis looked at Spotlight with a chuckle. Idiot...He chuckled under his breath. Leaning in, he put his lips next to Spotlight's ear. "Hun?" He asked, his voice laced with seduction.

Spotlight's eyes widened slightly. "Y...Yes?" He responded in kind, heart rate picking up.

"Im allergic to chocolate. Remember?"
