Chapter 64 - Epilogue 2

It's their first time. Even though Aiden and Hunter had kissed and made out nth times. And even done a bit more than kissing, they had never gone all the way. Now, as the two stood on either side of the bed, the thought of it had them both blushing.

"I..." Aiden wasn't sure how to continue, wasn't even sure what he was going to say. Luckily Hunter stepped forward and gently pressed his lips against his, then slowly and sensually started removing his clothing. Aiden's heart began to beat faster, and his body grew warmer.

"Let's go slow," Hunter whispered against Aiden's lips, trailing kisses down his jaw and neck.

Hunter took off Aiden's hoodie, then kissed the skin he revealed. When Aiden's hoodie was completely off, Hunter pulled away to remove his own. Aiden's eyes widened at the sight, and his face turned bright red.

Even in this situation, his silly head was buzzing with chaotic thoughts.

'What do I do now? Am I supposed to undress him back?'

'Oh god, we're doing this! We're really doing this!'

'Do I have to do it standing up? Do I have to lie down? Can I lie down without seeming eager? And why the heck is he so hot?! MY BOYFRIEND IS SO HOT!!!'

'I'm a virgin. Oh my god, I'm a virgin.'

'Doesn't this count as losing my virginity?'

'This is the first time we're having sex, does it still count if it's with a man? I guess so, since I'm also a guy. Oh, that reminds me, does this mean I'm not a virgin anymore, does my virginity reset?'

Aiden?" Hunter chuckled, caressing his red and burning cheeks. 

"Huh?" The sound snapped Aiden back into reality.

"You were zoning out again."

"Sorry," Aiden laughed awkwardly.

"You okay?" Hunter asked concernedly. 

Instead of answering, Aiden suddenly hugged him. Hunter was a little taken aback by the sudden action but he smiled after a moment. He could feel Aiden's heartbeat and knew his boyfriend was nervous. But so was he.

"We don't have to do this if you're not ready," Hunter assured him while kissing Aiden's neck which left his little body trembling in Hunter's strong arms. 

"I want to!" Aiden quickly retorted before Hunter could change his mind. His own desperation made him feel embarrassed. He blushed when he heard Hunter laughing. "It's just that...this is all new to me." 

"It's new to me too. But we can take our time, do it at our own pace," Hunter reassured him and Aiden nodded. He loosened his arms, but Hunter hugged him back, a little tighter this time.

"I'll make sure to make you feel good," Hunter whispered in his ear, so close it made Aiden shiver and melt in Hunter's arms. But his red ears revealed his shyness to Hunter.

Hunter was a bit shocked to see him like it. Aiden, who was usually a storm of energy and impossible to control, seemed like a completely different person now. His usual evilness had softened into something timid. Standing in Hunter's arms, both of them bare from the waist up, Aiden's eyes darted away shyly, his lashes trembling as though the breathing itself had become too much for him. His skin was warm against Hunter's, making his heartbeat flutter like a trapped bird in his rib cage.

Hunter couldn't help the faint smile tugging at his lips. The contrast was disarming, this was the same Aiden who never shut up and always pushed his limits. But now, with his cheek blushing and his hands clutching uncertainly at his waist, he looked extremely innocent.

Hunter tilted his head, studying him with quiet amusement. Where did that playful Aiden go? he wondered while brushing his thumb gently over Aiden's flushed cheek. And who is this shy little thing trembling in his place?

Hunter let out a chuckle and gently pushed him on the bed. Aiden shut his eyes and let out a small yelp as his back hit the soft mattress. When he opened his eyes again, he found Hunter staring down at him like a hungry beast. 

Aiden lay across the bed like sin made flesh, half-draped in tangled sheets that teased more than they covered, tracing the lines of temptation carved into every inch of him. His hair spilled wild across the pillow, his lips parted just enough to steal a breath. When his gaze met Hunter's, it wasn't innocence but deliberate seduction. 

"You're so beautiful," Hunter couldn't help himself but compliment him. 

"I already know that," Aiden giggled confidently. 

Hunter didn't let him laugh for long, his one hand slid to the back of Aiden's neck while the other hand tightened around his waist, lifting him almost off the bed to make their mouths aligned. The first brush of their lips was light, still, it was enough to melt Aiden instantly, a little whimper slipped out as he clawed at Hunter's broad shoulders in an attempt to deepen it too fast. But Hunter didn't allow it, instead, he nipped at Aiden's lower lip, took it between his own lips, and sucked it for a slow second, leaving Aiden shivering and crying for more. 

When Hunter finally parted his lips, Aiden surged in hungrily, his desperate tongue darting to invade Hunter's mouth. Hunter caught him with a growl, meeting him halfway, their tongues colliding in heated strokes. Feeling wicked, Hunter kept retreating which made Aiden chase him. Every time Aiden tried to take more, Hunter punished him with another firm lip-suck, stealing back control with the rough gentleness only he could pull off.

Aiden was gasping by the time Hunter broke the kiss for air leaving a thin string of saliva still connecting them. Hunter brushed his thumb across Aiden's swollen lips. 

"Slow down, sweetheart. You'll get what you want when I say so." Aiden could only nod, for he was dizzy and pliant, but his trembling fingers dragged Hunter back down, and his lips parted in invitation, as he grew hungrier than ever.

Hunter's cold hands touched Aiden's chest making the smaller boy jolt, a sharp moan spilling out when the icy palms met his burning skin. 

"F–fuck, you're freezing," Aiden gasped out, but his hips arched forward instinctively, betraying just how much he craved the touch. He bit down on Hunter's lip, harder than he should, and the deep grunt that followed made him shiver. Hunter didn't hesitate as his mouth trailed hot down Aiden's jaw, across his throat, teeth grazing sensitive skin before sinking into the soft curve of his collarbone. Aiden's whimper turned into a cry and the sound made Hunter's control slip just a little.

The baring pale skin flushed pink under Hunter's mouth. His lips latched onto one nipple without mercy, sucking it hard enough to make Aiden moan out, biting it lightly before soothing with his tongue. His other hand pinched and twisted the other bud, greedy for every twitch and every gasp. Aiden writhed against him, head thrown back while messy moans kept spilling like confessions. 

"Y-Your mouth's fucking made…for this," he hissed in a sweet and filthy voice. "Bet you'd worship me forever if I let you." 

His devilish smirk only deepened Hunter's hunger. Hunter groaned into Aiden's chest, the sound vibrating against Aiden's tender skin, his own arousal throbbing hard against the curve of Aiden's hip. His kisses dragged lower, down the ridges of Aiden's belly, tongue swirling over the dip of his navel. Every kiss left a wet mark, every bite pulled another broken sound from Aiden's throat. Aiden curled his fingers in Hunter's hair to tug him closer as his parted mouth kept letting out breathless whimper.

"Ahh-nngh!" Aiden's head slammed back against the bed, a sharp moan escaped him as his eyes rolled back when Hunter kissed the spot just beneath his navel which is also Aiden's most sensitive spot. 

"N-no—don't—" he tried to twist away, but Hunter's grip on his hips was like iron. He pressed him down and locked him in place. 

"Don't you dare run from me," Hunter whispered against that spot, biting and licking the tender spot until it glistened. "You're the one who provoked me, remember?"

Aiden's legs trembled but Hunter hooked them around his own waist to pin him completely as his mouth worked that delicate patch of skin. He kissed and sucked until it was wet and blazing red, every drag of his tongue making Aiden convulse with helpless moans. 

"F-fuck—Hunter—I can't—" Aiden's voice cracked into a desperate whimper, his fingers fisting Hunter's hair, nails raking across his scalp. The pleasure was unbearable, the kind that burned into bliss. His chest heaved and sweat streaked down his flushed body as if he was drowning in it.

When Hunter finally pulled back, his lips were swollen and his eyes were dark with lust but softened by something more dangerous…love. He stared at Aiden's wrecked panting form, the flushed skin, and the trembling legs locked around his waist. Without warning, he dragged his mouth up again and crashed their lips together. The kiss wasn't gentle this time, his tongue plunged deep inside Aiden's mouth, claiming every gasp and whimper as though he wanted to drink Aiden whole. Aiden kissed back with everything he had, mouth messy and wet, lost in the fire that Hunter stoked mercilessly. 

When they pulled back, both were breathless and eyes sparking with uncontrollable desires. 

"I want to pleasure you too," Aiden titled his head with a wicked smile. 

The words sent a shiver ripping through Hunter's spine and he held back a moan. His gaze became unruly and instantly Aiden was able to falter his dominance. 

Aiden raised a brow at his reaction and smiled widely. With a victorious smirk, he pushed Hunter backward until he claimed between Hunter's legs like the seducing vixen that he was. Hunter's heart pounded so violently he swore Aiden could hear it. The smaller boy straddled the space between his knees, leaned in, and kissed him again before dragging his lips down the curve of Hunter's throat. Each kiss burned Hunter's heart, each suck painted a bruise, and all the while Aiden's nimble fingers worked at Hunter's jeans. 

When the denim slid down his hips, Hunter gasped sharply, eyes squeezing shut as if bracing for impact. Aiden took a moment to appreciate the beauty that was his lover. His face flushed red and his cock was leaking pre-cum. He didn't speak, and neither did Aiden. It was his first time like this, and Aiden could taste the innocence trembling beneath his shuddering body.

Aiden's gaze fell lower, and his smirk deepened into something feral. His mouth watered instantly at the sight before him as his eyes glittered with mischief. Aiden grabbed his thighs and spread them apart. The act was embarrassing for Hunter, but the way Aiden was staring at him was turning him on. Though Aiden had seen Hunter naked numerous times, this was the first time he was seeing Hunter's lower region. And just like Hunter's other huge body parts, his cock was also massive.

Aiden stroked Hunter's inner thigh, his thumb pressing and rubbing it. He was on the verge of losing his damn mind. He has this sexy boy all for himself, spread out in front of him and willingly giving himself to Aiden. It felt like he had won the world, like he had everything he had ever wanted.

"God, Hunter…It's beautiful and big. So fucking hot to touch—" His hand wrapped experimentally around it, and Hunter jumped, a guttural sound breaking from his throat. Aiden's thumb stroked the length, feeling the heat burn into his palm. He looked up, grinning like a devil, and let his tongue peek out to wet his lips. "Can I touch it?"

"I-Idiot, y-you're already touching it!" Hunter tried to glare but Aiden knew he wasn't really mad.

Hunter looked away shyly. Aiden was glad Hunter's eyes were on the wall or else he would have seen the mischievous smirk on Aiden's lips. He lowered his face and huskily whispered in Hunter's ear. "Then, can I lick it?"

Hunter's heart skipped a beat. "DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!!!"

"I'm sorry," Aiden giggled in amusement. He sure was enjoying Hunter's pain a bit too much. "Can I suck it?"

Hunter didn't think it was possible, but his face became even redder. He covered his face with his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed. "Why are you saying it like that?! You sound like a pervert!"

"Hunter…" Aiden said his name so seductively that Hunter's cock twitched in response. "You're the one who's reacting this way."

Hunter didn't dare look, but he could feel Aiden's smile.

"Hunter," Aiden purred, his one hand teasing Hunter's cock, rubbing and squeezing it. "I want to put it in my mouth. I want to taste it. Can I?"

Hunter tried to suppress his rough gasp to nod. Aiden's evil smile widened and he rewarded Hunter with a kiss to his jaw right under his ear. 

"My poor hole's gonna get ruined by this beast, isn't it?" his filthy rambling spilling in breathy excitement. "I can already imagine how it's going to stretch me open…fuck, I can't wait."

Hunter flushed crimson, his chest rising in feverish bursts as he stared down at the sinful vision kneeling between his legs, seducing him with nothing but words and touch.

"Shut up…." Hunter's face burned red as he turned away. He'd never felt so exposed in his life. 

Being the devil that he was, Aiden smirked and lowered his face until his breath ghosted over Hunter's aching length. "Oh, baby, you're so fucking cute when you're shy."

"F-fuck—" The moment Aiden's lips touched his tip, Hunter threw his head back sucking in a broken breath. The sound tore from his chest, deeper than he meant. He had jerked himself countless times but nothing compared to this. The warm slickness and the unbearable intimacy of Aiden's mouth wrapped around his most sensitive area and his nerves felt like they were sparking alive under every wet drag.

Aiden's heart stuttered at the sight of him undone. Hunter's watery eyes, his heaving chest, and the ecstatic sounds he was letting out, sent a rush of pride and hunger through him. For once, he wasn't the one being devoured, he was the one driving Hunter out of his mind. Determined, Aiden steadied himself. He remembered the videos he had seen whenever Hunter wasn't home and remembered warnings about teeth. Opening his mouth wider, he slowly took the swollen tip past his lips, carefully swirling his tongue over the slit and tasting the salty slick that made his own cock twitch. He began to suck gently, lips sealing around the crown, hollowing his cheeks as he pulled back with a wet slurp.

"AH!" Hunter's senses were on fire. His fists clenched against the pillows, feeling every muscle in his body tighten. "A-Aiden…fuck—oh my god—" He couldn't believe this was real, that Aiden's sweet little mouth was wrapped around him, dragging him deeper into bliss with every wet suck. It felt like a dream that was too good, too filthy, and too intimate to be true. His vision blurred as pleasure built relentlessly.

Aiden bobbed his head up and down, drool spilling from the corners of his mouth as Hunter's size stretched him wide. He gagged once and coughed around him, but pushed right back in, eyes watering and smirk still curling his lips around the shaft. His hand worked what his mouth couldn't reach, twisting and stroking in rhythm with each sloppy suck. The obscene sounds of wet slurps and muffled gags along with Hunter's choked moans filled their bedroom like a soundtrack of sin.

When Hunter felt himself about to snap, his control shattered. With a loud growl, he grabbed the back of Aiden's head and thrust his hips forward, burying himself deep within Aiden's mouth. Aiden gagged violently making his eyes roll, stars bursting behind his lids as Hunter's cock hit the back of his throat. His eyes burned and more drool spilled down his chin but the sight of Hunter above him with his flushed cheeks and desperate groans looking about to break made Aiden's determination stronger. He was choking, gasping, seeing stars, and yet he wanted more. And he wasn't surprised when Hunter's hot and thick cum was shot directly in his throat making him gag. 

"S-spit it out—" Hunter's eyes flew open in panic but Aiden only smirked with his lips still wrapped around him. He swallowed greedily, throat working around every pulse until it was gone. Pulling off with a wet pop, he opened his mouth and pulled out his tongue to show Hunter the clean pink inside, grinning like the wicked little devil he was.

"I swallowed every last drop of it!" He announced proudly. 

"Aiden…." Hunter stared at him in shock and disbelief. He was still trembling, his body strung tight with the aftershocks. 

Aiden licked his lips while his eyes brightened. "You know they say it tastes awful…but yours wasn't bad at all. Maybe because it's you." 

Hunter's throat bobbed overwhelmingly and before he could speak, Aiden crawled up into his arms, pressing their chests and lower bodies together. Hunter hugged him immediately, burying his face in Aiden's shoulder. Aiden smiled affectionately and patted Hunter's head, kissed the slope of his shoulder, and whispered lovingly. "You're okay."

Hunter's voice was broken by breath. "Thank you…" 

Aiden giggled at his stupid boyfriend who was feeling shy for no reason. "For what?" 

Hunter lifted his face and looked directly in Aiden's eyes with a sheepish gaze. "For being with me." 

The words made Aiden's grin widen until it felt like his heart would burst. "Silly guy, come here." 

"I love you so much," Hunter declared. 

Aiden hugged him tighter. Hunter only pulled him closer until their hips pressed, and Aiden's clothed cock rubbed against Hunter's still-sensitive length. Aiden moaned sharply, breath hitching as the friction sent a spark up his spine. His lips brushed Hunter's ear, whispering like sin itself. "If you love me so much…then make love to me."

The words made Hunter shiver hard. He squeezed Aiden's body, almost crushing him to his chest. They pulled back and their gazes locked, lust and love tangled together in silence before their mouths crashed in another desperate kiss. Clothes were peeled away between kisses, jeans shoved down until nothing separated them. Naked skin pressed tight, chest to chest, stomachs slick with heat. Their cocks slid against each other, leaking and throbbing, smearing precum between their bellies.

Hunter's hand slid between them to wrap around both cocks at once. Aiden gasped into his mouth, nails clawing at Hunter's back, his body trembling as Hunter began to stroke them together. The wet glide of their cocks rubbing with the heat of Hunter's palm sent Aiden reeling, making his moans escape freely. Hunter's other hand roamed his spine, caressing up and down and grounding him in the storm of pleasure. Aiden clung tighter to him, hips bucking helplessly into Hunter's grip, every stroke dragging him closer to bliss.

"I want to c-cum with you inside me…" Aiden gripped Hunter's wrist in an attempt to stop him. His voice echoed in Hunter's mind, shattering the last thread of his restraint. Hearing those words, Hunter couldn't hold back anymore, upon that Aiden's throbbing cock against his belly was too fucking much.

With a growl, Hunter shoved Aiden flat onto the bed, grabbing his lean legs and hoisting them over his broad shoulders. Aiden screamed, his body arching instinctively as Hunter positioned himself between those trembling thighs. Hunter's angry and veined cock pressed insistently against Aiden's entrance. That pink hole that was so tight and virginal fluttered under the pressure. A soft, rosy pucker glistening slightly from their earlier teasing, untouched and begging to be claimed. The hole appeared innocent yet obscene, delicately clenching in anticipation like it knew what was coming.

But Hunter wasn't a monster, this was his boy's first time, and he wouldn't ruin it by being reckless. He reached for the lube on the nightstand, popping the cap with his thumb and squeezing a generous dollop onto his fingers. The clear gel was cool as he smeared it over Aiden's hole, circling the rim with gentle strokes. Aiden shivered violently, his body jolting at the cold slickness invading his most intimate spot which was touched by someone other than him for the first time. 

"Fuck, that's cold," he whimpered, his hips bucking involuntarily, but the chill quickly melted into a slippery warmth that made his nerves ignite.

Hunter's dark and predatory eyes locked onto Aiden's, hunger blazing in them like a starving wolf eyeing its prey. He wanted to devour him, to bury himself deep and never pull out. Slowly, he pressed his middle finger against that quivering pink entrance, breaching it inch by inch. Aiden's breath hitched, shutting his eyes tight as a strange fullness bloomed inside him. A mix of burning stretch and electric pleasure that shot straight to his cock. It felt invasive yet vulnerable, like Hunter was unlocking something forbidden deep in his core, making his toes curl and his mind spin with a hazy fog of "too much" and "more, please."

Gently, Hunter began to pump his finger in and out, the lube squelching softly with each thrust. Aiden cried out in a sharp needy moan that echoed off the walls, his hands fisting the sheets as waves of sensation crashed over him. Hunter leaned down to press a hot and soothing kiss to the soft skin of Aiden's inner thigh, his teeth grazing just enough to send another shiver racing through him. 

"Shh, baby, I've got you," Hunter murmured in a coaxing voice. "You're doing so good for me."

Emboldened by Aiden's gasps turning to moans, Hunter added a second finger, scissoring them carefully to stretch that tight ring of muscle. Aiden's hole began to adjust, loosening under the persistent pressure, gaping slightly when Hunter pulled back. A lewd, inviting sight that made Hunter's cock twitch with impatience. The pink flesh pulsed readily, begging for more.

Finally, when Hunter deemed him prepped enough and his fingers sliding in and out with ease, he withdrew them with a wet pop leaving Aiden whining at the emptiness. Hunter aligned his throbbing cock with that glistening hole, the fat head nudging against it. He wrapped his arms around Aiden in a tight hug, crushing their bodies together, and captured those red and swollen lips in a bruising kiss. Aiden's mouth was wet and pliant, tasting of salt and desperation as their tongues clashed against each other.

Slowly and agonizingly, Hunter pushed inside. The penetration was pure fire, his thick shaft splitting Aiden open, inch by torturous inch, the tight heat enveloping him like a velvet vice. 

"Oh fuck, Aiden, you're so goddamn tight," Hunter groaned against his lips, his hips rocking forward as Aiden's walls clenched around him, squeezing like they were trying to pull him deeper. Aiden's head went blank, a white-hot burst of pain mixed with pleasure exploding behind his eyes, he felt impossibly full, stretched to his limits, his hole burning from the invasion but sparking with filthy ecstasy that made his cock leak onto his stomach.

Hunter bottomed out with a breathy moan, buried balls-deep in that sweet virgin ass. He started gently at first, rolling his hips in slow but deep thrusts that let Aiden adjust, each slide dragging along his prostate and drawing out breathy whimpers. 

"Feel that, baby? My cock filling your tight little hole," Hunter whispered dirtily, his hands gripping Aiden's thighs as he fucked him softly and tenderly, like he was savoring every clench and flutter. But the gentleness didn't last because soon Hunter's control frayed, and he picked up the pace, slamming in roughly now, his balls slapping against Aiden's ass with obscene smacks. 

"I want it angh! I want y-y-your fat dick pounding my greedy hole—" Aiden trembled aggressively with each pleasurable thrust. 

"Fuck your slutty mouth!" Hunter snarled, angling to hit that spot harder which made Aiden scream and arch off the bed, his nails digging into Hunter's back. The bed creaked under the force, Aiden's body jolting with each brutal thrust, his hole gaping and stretched wide around Hunter's cock. He could feel the thick cock throbbing inside him. 

Then, sensing Aiden teetering on the edge, Hunter slowed again, shifting to soft grinding rolls that teased and built the tension. He kissed Aiden's neck, sucking marks into the skin as he fucked him languidly leaving their bodies glistening with sweat. 

"Cum for me, Aiden—cum with my cock buried in your hot sloppy ass," Hunter urged, one hand wrapping around Aiden's leaking dick to stroke him in time with his thrusts. Aiden shattered first, his hole spasming wildly as ropes of cum painted their chests, milking Hunter until he followed with a roar, flooding Aiden's insides with hot, sticky seed. They collapsed together while panting hard. Still, Hunter stayed buried deep, and Aiden was unwilling to let go of him as well. 

◾◾◾

Snowflakes drifted lazily through the air, melting the moment they touched Aiden's hair. He stood near the small fountain at the center of the park, stamping his feet against the icy ground and blowing warm air into his cupped hands.

"Ugh, he said five minutes," Aiden grumbled under his breath, scrunching his red nose from the cold. "It's been twenty. I swear if he's flirting with the barista, I'm leaving—"

"Flirting with who?"

Aiden jumped a little when he heard Hunter's deep voice behind him. He turned and was ready to complain but the sight made his words fumble. Hunter stood there, wrapped in a long black coat and a gray scarf that made him look effortlessly handsome. His hands held two steaming cups of coffee. 

"Took you long enough!" Aiden pouted though the sight of hot coffee softened him instantly. "You could've frozen your boyfriend into a popsicle!"

Hunter chuckled, his breath fogging the air. "You're too dramatic for someone who's been standing here for, what, ten minutes?"

"Fifteen!" Aiden shot back, but his voice lost its bite when Hunter handed him the coffee. The warmth seeped through his hands, making him sigh in relief. "Hmm…okay, I forgive you."

Hunter tilted his head in amusement. "That easy?"

"Yeah. You brought coffee, and you look cute in the coat I bought for you." 

Hunter smiled and moved closer to him. "So I just have to be cute?"

Aiden grinned up at him. "Mhm. Works every time."

Hunter chuckled again, and before Aiden could say anything else, he bent down and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. It was brief but warm, melting the cold between them. Aiden blinked, flustered, the tip of his nose brushing Hunter's when he whispered. "You're so unfair…"

They started walking through the quiet park. Fairy lights twinkled on the trees nearby, reflecting in Aiden's eyes. He rambled about how he wanted to celebrate New Year's with fireworks, staying up till midnight, and definitely more sex this year, which made Hunter almost choke on his coffee.

"Do you ever think before saying things like that in public?" Hunter complained, but his ears were red.

"Nope," Aiden replied proudly, bumping his shoulder.

When they reached a wooden bench dusted lightly with snow, Hunter brushed it off with his gloves before gesturing for Aiden to sit. Aiden plopped down, swinging his legs like a child, still talking about their future plans. Hunter just watched him for a moment, a soft smile tugging at his lips like Aiden was the only warm thing left in this cold world.

After a moment he reached for Aiden's hand sneakily. Aiden blinked mid-sentence. 

"What are you—" Aiden's voice trailed off, watching as Hunter played with his hand, tracing circles on his skin. And then…he felt something slip around his ring finger. Aiden froze, his heart stopped for a second before he looked down. A small, silver band glinted under the park light, simple yet beautiful.

"Hunter…" Aiden whispered in a soft voice. 

Hunter's lips curved. "It's not an engagement ring. But I wanted us to have something that's just ours."

"You're such an idiot," Aiden's eyes blurred instantly, his tears gathering at the corners of his eyes. "Why would you do something like this in public? Now I'm gonna cry and my nose will get red and you'll call me Rudolph again."

Hunter laughed quietly and reached up to brush away the tear that slipped down Aiden's cheek. "You look cute either way."

Aiden's lips wobbled before he suddenly lunged forward, wrapping his arms around Hunter's neck. Hunter caught him easily, the coffee cups forgotten on the bench. Aiden buried his face in Hunter's chest, his voice was muffled when he spoke again. 

"I love you so much." 

"I love you too, baby," Hunter murmured, holding him tighter. 

They stayed like that for a while, the snow falling gently around them. After a long hug, Hunter pulled back slightly, fishing another ring from his pocket, a matching one.

Aiden's eyes widened again. "You mean—"

"Will you put it on me?" Hunter asked quietly.

Aiden sniffled and nodded, his hands trembling slightly as he slipped the ring onto Hunter's finger. Their hands looked perfect together, one large and steady, the other small and warm, the silver bands glinting like little promises under the night sky.

"Now you can't run away." Hunter teased. 

Aiden smiled through his tears, whispering back. "Why would I ever want to?"

Hunter kissed him again full of warmth. Snow fell around them silently except for their shared breath and the soft thud of their hearts.

When they finally pulled away, Aiden giggled softly. "You know, this is the best winter date ever. Even better than sex."

Hunter smirked. "You sure about that?"

Aiden grinned mischievously. "Well…maybe it's a tie."

"I can never win against you," Hunter laughed and tucked Aiden closer to his chest. 

"Never ever," Aiden victoriously smiled against his coat.

Under the falling snow, their rings glimmered together like a quiet promise of forever.
