Axels POV:
I looked at the snow, there was no way I could go to school today. Hell, I couldn't even leave my house! I had never seen this much snow in my life, and there still seemed to be more falling down.
I sat down in the kitchen which was very dark since the snow blocked out a substantial amount of light.
My parents hadn't gone shopping in quite some time, there was only one bagel left which I could eat.
I didn't know how long this snow would last, but I was quite worried since there wasn't all that much food.
At around 6:30, i saw shadow walk into the room.
"Good morning Axel I... what the hell?!" He said noticing the snow covering the open windows in the kitchen.
"Yeah, there is quite a lot of snow." I responded meekly, my mind drifting to last nights events.
"Well fuck! Do we atleta have enough supplies to get us through this blizzard?" Shadow asked.
I sighed. No, we really didn't have much of anything because of my shorty parents.
"Let me check."
I looked through the fridge. It was practically empty, I could have sworn it as almost full just a week prior.
"We're going to have to save. There's almost nothing."
My shoulders slumped. I was so fucking tired. From the party to the dream, and now this. I rubbed my eyes, sighing.
"Hey, it's alright, the snow will most likely melt in a week or two." Shadow said putting his hand on my shoulder.
I froze. My mind instantly went back to last night and my confusion. I didn't have any sexual feelings for Shadow, did I?!
"Axel. Are you alright?"
I broke away from my thoughts.
"Y-yeah! I'm fine. It's going to be fine."
"Okay then." Shadow said crossing his arms over his chest.
Suddenly, I heard the lights flicker for a moment, then they shut off along with the appliances and the heater.
The room was almost completely dark.
"What the hell?! The powers out!" I exclaimed.
"Oh shit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I spent the time studying in my room. There was nothing better I could be doing anyway. Part of the reason I had wanted to study was to get away from Shadow.
I still didn't understand. Why now did looking at him make me feel this way, make my heart beat just a little faster, my breathing quicker. I didn't understand and didn't want to think about it. I had much on my mind as it was.
It was getting colder by the minute, I was realizing. Before long, the house would likely be at the same temperature as outside which was well below freezing.
Shadow then walked into the room.
"I don't suppose you have any extra layers I could borrow?" He asked.
"Sorry, I don't. Well not any that would fit you anyway."
"I see." He hesitated for a minute. "It is getting quite cold. It would be a good idea if... we conserved body heat. Y-you know, to stay warm of course!"
I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing.
"Are you saying we should... cuddle?"
"I.... I suppose if that's what you humans call it, then yes. Only if you feel comfortable of course.
I thought about it for a minute. He was right though, and it was getting exeptionally cold inside. Even if this would be awkward as hell, it was probably for the best
"I-I-I guess. It is very cold."
I carefully lied down in bed, Shadow doing the same, lying very close to me. Shadow very cautiously put one arm around my shoulders.
I felt so nervous. I didn't even breath as he put his muscular arm around me.
We stayed like that for a few minutes in silence, though the temperature kept decreasing. It was probably below freezing at this point.
I turned around, semi-consciously pressing my face into Shadows chest.
Shadows POV:
I was still quite surprised with myself for offering to conserved body heat with Axel. But I was afraid we might litterly freeze with how cold it was, even inside the house.
Axel seemed so scared, almost petrified when I put my arm around his narrow shoulders. Was I making him feel uncomfortable? I certainly hoped not.
He then turned around, his face was now pressed against my chest. I found myself staring at him. Our bodies were pressed so hard against each other, I could feel practically every part of him against me.
I then felt something prodding against my waist.
Oh, oh. I didn't understand what was happening. I hoped I was just imagining this, and that Axels cock wasn't hard and pressed against my waist. But at the same time, I realized that I genuinely felt something, something I hadn't felt in a long time.
