Baby, it's cold outside...

Who: Peony and anyone around ;n;
Where: Everywhere!
When: All week, starting backdated to the first!
Style: I'll adjust c:
Status: Open!


For all intents and purposes, it should be warmer, shouldn't it? Peony was sure he'd checked the weather, Monday, and it was definitely supposed to be warmer than it was. But nothing really seemed like he could get warm enough? He's been up and down between the island and Vatheon itself but to no avail!

Oh right. Curse. Maaaan! This is a terrible curse! Not like curses are usually good, hence "curse" and all, but...

Come give a guy a hug, Vatheon? Whether he's just unhappily waddling walking by or standing somewhere or anything else--there are certainly bouts of glomming onto Jade and Alister!

Jade doesn't like this. He's never cold, he's always fine. The reason, and he'll never tell anyone as long as he lives, is that Jade can regulate his internal temperature like a lizard using his fon slots and the specific fonons he grabs from the environment.

As for right now, though, Jade is shivering and checking around the apartment. He's trying to find if the air is on- no, the room temperature is 84 and humid, typical Grand Chokmah weather. The windows are all closed. He rubs his arms tightly and shivers, gritting his teeth until his jaw hurts.

The apartment seems empty save for Jade and His Majesty- Alister has been busy recently, or so it seems. Said something about a project for a friend (A bike or something). He finds himself standing in front of Peony's bedroom door and wondering just why he feels the need to go inside. But maybe he'd just check on His Majesty. See if it's not just him. Both of them are from Keterburg, so the cold hasn't really ever bothered them, but...

He peeks in and spots Peony, his brows raising and his voice surprisingly okay for all the shivering.

"Your Majesty, have you been feeling the sudden cold?" Can Jade use you as a heater?

And the first thing that happens when Jade opens the door, other than being greeted by the sight of Peony in a MASSIVE pile of blankets (growing up in Keterburg means nothing after you get used to Grand Chokmah), is the sudden lunging of that mass that has every intention of taking Jade down.

In order to absorb him into that mass.

"Not in the least!" Clearly. There is absolutely no indication whatsoever that Peony's cold. Really. "I had all of this set up just for you, you know." Okay, he's full of crap. He's cold and he's concealing his whining until he's sure he has Jade securely in his blanket-mass to cuddle for heat. Funny, since Jade's really pretty scrawny, but another body is always good to have around for that!

Given that Jade was expecting Peony to be alright, the sudden and rather literal wave of blankets that rushes him catches him off guard. He's too cold to move at a regular pace, so Jade falls victim to the cloth (he's pretty sure there's a body in there somewhere).

Now down on the ground and half-covered in blankets and person, Jade can't find it within himself to fight back, since there was radiating heat coming from the body. Instead of answering, Jade is sifting through the blankets to find more of the heat there. Upon finding it, he promptly and firmly wedges himself right up against it. Whether or not it's Peony or a furnace Peony shoved into the blankets was unclear, but for the first time in hours Jade was warming up again.

Even he could feel the oddness of the situation, but he couldn't get himself to fully realize it right now. Not until he's at a better, more consistent temperature.

Somewhere. Very much buried in there, but Peony's under it all. And now, so is Jade.

No furnace under those blankets for Jade to find, but there is Peony. He's a big man, and he radiates heat. With the slighter man wedged up against him, the blond can feel himself warm up some. Not a whole lot, but some. Enough to be comfortable, at the very least. Arms loop around Jade to hug him close even as the blankets flop around them and cover them up even more, grinning.

The awkwardness doesn't even register to Peony, really; he's more focused on curling up with Jade, which... eventually turns into flopping onto his side, propped up some by the sheer volume of blankets, and cuddling Jade while facing him rather than the usual.

Jade is shifting a little bit to try to get comfortable and when he is, he curled against Peony's chest and letting out a low sigh of victory. Because at this point, it's not even worth it to complain. It was the start of the week and he couldn't see his tattoo anyways.

He thinks about saying something, but ultimately keeps to himself save for a small sound that vaguely resembled a discontented one. But the way Jade was holding onto the other man and staying right there made the sound for naught.
