Alastor hated winter, having been born and raised in New Orleans, he wasn't quite accustomed to the cold. Thankfully, his deer instincts held quite a bit of influence over him, so he typically hibernated during the cold seasons. It was quite nice actually, being wrapped in his crimson quilt, laying against his plush bed, face buried in his ruby pillows. However, this year was a touch different.

Anthony was a big bundle of white fluff, so he tended to be perfectly warm during the winter, thus did not hibernate. Anthony was unaware of Alastor's hibernation, thus learning the hard way about waking him during this period during their first year in the hotel. Things were different since they were dating now, as Alastor truly Loved Anthony and would try his best to spend as much time with him as possible. Unfortunately, that also meant putting himself in uncomfortable situations on occasion. This time, he had made a promise to Anthony to take him out on a date before he went into hibernation, since he would be asleep for quite some time.

Now, here he was, shivering as he walked beside his taller lover, walking through a park. Anthony was only dressed in a thin sweater and shorts, along with his iconic kinky boots. Alastor on the other hand was wrapped in a black and red stripped scarf, a heavy red coat with fur lacing cling to his torso, and his usual black pants and shoes. Thought Alastor always wore a smile, the deer demons dissatisfaction was clear by his constant shivering and how his ears were flopped down and twitching. As soon as he thought he might lose his drive and tell Anthony he couldn't do it, he felt his Angé pull him close to his warm and fluffy body.

   Alastor sighs as he continued to walk through the park, clinging to the warmth of his spider lover. Though he clung to Anthony's body to warm his body, he only needed the spiders smile to warm his heart, and his love to warm his soul. He looked across the snow covered fields when he had finally taken the time to realize he'd never seen the frozen liquid in the past. His eyes light up a fraction as he tears himself away from his lover to inspect the icy substance. He kneeled to scoop some into his covered claw as he dully registered how the chill made the senses in his hand go numb, except for small pricks of pain. Snow instantly reminded him of his beloved. White and beautiful, could dull the senses, perhaps cause a bit of pain here-and-there, but was well worth it for the sight alone.

   Anthony couldn't help but we awestruck at the sight of the buck admiring snow for the first time. It hadn't occurred to him Alastor probably never saw snow before, or at least not for several decades since he always hibernated, so seeing his beloved buck with stars in his eyes was much to adorable for Anthony's heart. Anthony wasn't the most perceptive demon and he knew this, but even he could tell the red heads smile was plastered and fake most of the time, so seeing his beloved genuinely happy made a love-struck grin creep up on his face. He goes over to join his boyfriend as he stares at his beloveds face, ruby eyes sparkling with wonder and curiosity, snowflakes decorating crimson and onyx hair, and a cute fluffy tail wagging rapidly between his pants and heavy coat. A part of Anthony was tempted to smush the snow in Alastor's face, but Alastor's childish excitement was much to cute and Anthony just couldn't make himself ruin that.

Anthony honestly expected his doe to back down, to which he was pleasantly surprised that he didn't. Anthony smiles softly and scratches behind Alastor's ears, catching Alastor off guard but not going unappreciated as the deer demon purrs quietly. Though Alastor hated touch, he made an exception for his beloved angel, and Anthony adored petting Alastor's adorable little ears of his. Then the absolutely adorable visual of Alastor's nose turning red entered Anthony's mind, making him squeal out loud. Alastor looks at him questioningly as Anthony cups his cheeks and kisses his nose.

Having had enough of admiring the snow, the two continued their walk through the park, Alastor clinging to Anthony's side once again as they talked about whatever came to mind. Given their height differences, Alastor was buried in Anthony's side as Anthony used his bottom pair of arms to hold him by the waist. This arrangement was a bit awkward to walk with, but it was fine for the two lovebirds.

Out of pure curiosity, Anthony had convinced Alastor to try ice skating on the frozen lake, even offering to teach him how. Alastor reluctantly agreed but put up one heck of a struggle as hooves and slippery surfaces didn't typically go well. Despite this however, Alastor's usual grace and elegance made it easy for him to learn and take advantage of how his hooves glide across the ice. Anthony was awestruck as he watched his doe learn to skate for the first time with such ease, he would swear Alastor was an honest Angel if they weren't currently blunting the cold trying to spend as much time together as they can before Alastor's hibernation in Hell.

Alastor was not satisfied skating alone, for of course he wasn't, today was about spending time with his spider love after all. Alastor snatched up Anthony by one of his many arms and wrapped his arms around the taller demons neck as he started a magnificent dance, a goofy smile forming on his face. Anthony was taken off guard by the sudden pull, he would have scolded the deer if seeing him enjoy himself despite how terribly cold he must be didn't absolutely warm his heart. Anthony knew resistance was futile as he wrapped his arms around Alastor's waist and upper back as he joined in the beautiful dance. As their dance finally came to a stop, Anthony could no longer resist, he gently put his lips against Alastor's soft ones, lips that hadn't been damaged as they had never experienced this intimacy before. Alastor was a bit taken off guard by the gesture, but quickly relaxed as he melted into the kiss, his eyes falling shut and his ears laying flat as he enjoyed his beloveds kiss.

Unfortunately, they had to return to the hotel, as nightfall slowly kicked in and Alastor quickly started to become overwhelmed with drowsiness. It was a bit difficult, but Anthony managed to carry Alastor all the way to their shared room, and Alastor managed to force himself awake, despite Anthony's warm and comfortable fluff beckoning him to sleep. Anthony of course had to help Alastor get changed into his nightclothes, he had half a mind to make a sex joke but figured it would probably be best if he didn't unless he wanted a repeat of the first time he interrupted Alastor hibernating. As Alastor weakly crawled into bed, his eyes would droop and shoot open, making it obvious he was fighting his exhaustion. Anthony chuckles crawling in beside him, placing the overlords head in his lap and scratching behind his ears. "Don't worry Al, I'll be right here when you wake up again" Anthony reassures, letting Alastor's purrs fill the room. He waited for a short while, only to realize Alastor had long since fallen asleep, making the spider chuckle fondly as he continued to pet him, waiting for his doe to wake.
