Advent Drabble 14 - Ice

[earlgreytea68]

For anonymous

Pete is sitting in his car waiting for it to warm up because there’s ice on his windshield.

He’s on the phone with Patrick while he waits.

“It’s weird,” he says.

“What is?” Patrick asks.

“When we met it was so hot all the time, and now it’s freezing.”

“That’s how time works,” Patrick replies drily. “Seasons change.”

“Yeah, but…I’m shivering. You’ve never seen me shiver before. Isn’t that weird? And I can’t believe that. I feel like you know everything about me, but you’ve never seen me in winter.”

“Something to look forward to,” Patrick says after a moment.

And then there will be Pete-in-Spring, how exciting! :D Anyway I'm sure Patrick didn't reply at once because he was thinking about making Pete shiver even in midsummer. *waggles her eyebrows à la Eames*

Hahaha, yes, as soon as I said he'd never seen Pete shiver, I was like, .....I don't actually think that's true lol. He's never seen him shiver because he's COLD, though.
