Prompt 4: cold

--

While making his way home from work he couldn't help but to feel incredibly envious of his boyfriends who had been allowed to be home all day. Not because he was missing out on cuddles and an abundance of kisses (although that too), but because it was simply freezing outside.

He really hadn't expected the temperature to drop so drastically while he was working, which was his mistake and Roman and Janus were definitely going to scold him for not dressing warm enough.

Snow was whirling down in the wind, blowing into Logan's face and sticking to his jacket and his hair. There was a thick layer of snow already covering everything outside, but the snow didn't seem to be planning to stop falling any time soon.

Luckily for Logan it didn't take him much longer to finally find himself outside their apartment door, fishing his keys out of his pocket and ignoring how they ached in the cold as he unlocked the door. Then he kicked the snow off of his shoes before stepping inside of the warmth of their home, immediately hearing footsteps towards the hallway as he pulled the door closed.

"Lo! You're home, finally!" Roman said, turning up in the doorway to the living room, practically skipping over to where Logan was trying to pull his jacket's zipper down with his half numb fingers. The warmth of their apartment made it feel as if his cold cheeks were burning.

Roman's arms were around him shortly, squeezing him tight and trapping Logan's hands between their chests.

"Hello there, love." Logan didn't bother trying to get out of Roman's embrace, instead leaning his forehead on Roman's shoulder, feeling himself smile. He managed to unzip his jacket, then wrapping his arms around Roman to return the hug, standing on the tip of his toes to be able to hide his face in the crook of Roman's neck.

Roman immediately squeaked and pushed Logan away, holding him at an arm's length distance and giving him an affronted stare.

"What the hell, you're freezing!" He exclaimed, bringing one hand up to rub where Logan's nose had pressed against his neck for just a second.

"What a surprise, it's not as if it has been snowing all day." Logan said, unimpressed by Roman's deduction skills.

He pulled his jacket off, hanging up by their other jackets, and Roman reached out for his hands, gasping as he squished Logan's hands between his own.

"You didn't have any gloves? You're gonna get hypothermia or something!" His boyfriend pouted and Logan rolled his eyes with a huff, ready to try and defend himself with the fact that he definitely knew better than to get hypothermia. He hadn't been outside for long enough to be in any serious danger.

"What's this I'm hearing about hypothermia?" Logan turned towards the source of the voice, spotting their other boyfriend, Janus, appearing in the doorway wrapped in a huge yellow blanket that he had gotten for his birthday a few days ago and practically lived inside of since then.

"Logan's trying to kill himself via freezing to death on the way home from work." Roman pouted, which was definitely an exaggeration and they all knew very well that Logan would have called and asked to be picked up if it had been necessary.

"I am not." He said, getting his shoes off.

"Well, we will just have to warm our starshine up then." Janus said to Roman, pulling his blanket from around his shoulders and wrapping it around Logan who's face now felt warm for a different reason.

"You do not need to baby me simply because I am a bit cold." Logan said, allowing Janus to grab ahold of the blanket and pull him in, his boyfriend pressing a little kiss to his nose.

"Darling we will find any reason to dote on you." He said sweetly and Logan was not even surprised when he suddenly found himself being lifted up into Roman's arms.

"You are both massive saps." He said, arms coming to wrap around Roman's neck as he was carried bridal style towards the living room. His statement didn't mean much since all of them knew Logan loved to be carried and showered in kisses, no matter how stoic he pretended to be.

"You love us." Roman said with a pleased grin, and before Logan had the time to decide if he should scoff or admit that he very much did, he was dropped onto the couch. Then he found himself with an armful of Roman as his boyfriend climbed on top of him.

Logan rested his hands on Roman's waist, finding it impossible not to smile too when looking up at him. The three of them had been together for three years and yet he didn't know if he would ever get used to the way his boyfriends would look at him.

Roman leaned down and pressed their mouths together in a slow and lingering kiss that warmed up Logan much more effectively than the soft blanket he was still wrapped in.

His boyfriend cupped Logan's face in his hands, thumbs trailing along his cheekbones and he tilted his head back slightly to allow the kiss to deepen. Logan let his fingers slip in under Roman's shirt, placing them on his warm stomach, and for a second time Roman flinched away from him with a high pitched yell.

"Stop doing that!" He said, shivering at how icy Logan's hands still were.

"What?" Logan said innocently, moving his hands higher to find more warmth. "You were going to warm me up, weren't you?"

"You're ruining our moment." Roman complained, though refraining from swatting Logan's hands away.

"This might help." Janus said, joining them again, carrying a small tray with three cups of tea that he set down on the coffee table.

"Hi, Jay." Roman said softly, reaching for Janus instead of the brightly red cup that read 'homosexual' in bold and glittery print. "Kiss please."

"Have you not gotten enough kisses? How is that possible, I've been kissing you all day." Janus said, tutting and resting his hands on Roman's shoulders.

"Never enough." Roman said in that soft tone of voice that really made it impossible not to kiss him, which was of course what Janus did, and trapped as Logan was beneath Roman he found himself simply watching his boyfriends exchanging gentle kisses.

Logan relaxed back down against the couch, trying to not feel so incredibly sappy about the two men above him. He had never been very good with strong emotions, it could be a little overwhelming sometimes, how much he loved them, but there was definitely nowhere else he would rather be.

He shoved slightly at Roman to get his attention before pulling his hands away from under his boyfriend's shirt. The two of them parted.

"Don't get too distracted." He said with amusement, making an attempt to sit up which made Roman take the hint and slip off of him. His boyfriends sat down on either side of him, Janus handing him his cup and wrapping the big blanket around himself too.

Logan sipped his hot tea, both hands wrapped around the wonderfully warm cup. Janus had made him his favorite, as always.

"You wanna order soup and garlic bread from that restaurant Patton suggested and then cuddle and watch a movie?" Roman wondered, leaning his head on Logan's shoulder and looking up at him, batting his eyelashes and succeeding very well at looking cute.

"I cannot deny that your suggestion is very tempting." Logan said and Roman grinned as if he already knew he would get what he had asked for.

"A lovely idea, my dear." Janus said, pressing the red cup into Roman's hands before grabbing his own and leaning back, pulling the blanket as much over his lap as he could. "You have to order, though."

"Boo." Roman pulled his phone out of the pocket of the white hoodie he was wearing, lifting his head from Logan's shoulder to take a sip of his tea before going to his text messages with Patton, scrolling through it to find the name of the restaurant.

Logan leaned into Janus, feeling soft lips press to his forehead and he sighed in content, enjoying the rest of his cup of tea with his two boyfriends curled up with him on the couch, deciding on the food they would eat and the movie they would watch.

Maybe it wasn't so bad if he let his boyfriends dote on him now and then.
