Advent Day 5
“I didn’t even realize how late it was getting,” Chris declared, as he stood up from Zach’s sofa. “I really need to get back to my hotel. My flight’s supposed to leave early in the morning.”
Zach glanced toward the windows of his apartment.
“It’s starting to snow.”
Chris grimaced as he set his wine glass down. “All the more reason I need to get moving.”
“It’s really cold out there,” Zach pointed out. “You might want to stay over.”
“It’s been great to visit while I was in New York, but I gotta get back to LA.”
“Sure, sure,” Zach said, soothingly. He moved closer to Chris and took hold of his hands. “I’m really glad you dropped by. But man, your hands are just like ice.”
“I don’t have gloves either.” Chris worried his bottom lip with his teeth. “Or a coat. I didn’t really think about being here as long as I was.”
“Fortunately, I have a fireplace with a roaring fire.”
“Uh. You could lend me a coat?”
Zach saw the snow was coming down harder. “It’s getting worse, Chris. You’ll never get a cab in this. You’ll freeze out there. Might as well stay here with me where it’s warm and safe.”
Chris gave him a look. “Do you know how much talk there will be if I’m seen leaving here in the morning?”
“Talk? What talk?”
“At least there will be plenty implied.”
“Ah, but, fortunately for me the paparazzi don’t hound me like they do you. No one’s going to see you. Pretty soon it’s going to be up to your knees.”
“Which is why I should leave.”
Zach put his hand on his heart. “Think how I’d feel if you got pneumonia and died. My name would be plastered in the Enquirer saying I killed Captain Kirk and Steve Trevor.”
Chris laughed at that. “You’re such a dork. Well, maybe just a cigarette more.”
Zach took his arm and brought him close. “You’re eyes are like starlight right now. Your lips look delicious.”
“Zach—”
Zach pulled him into his arms and kissed him. “They are delicious.”
Chris sighed. “Well, I guess it would be touch to get a cab.”
“Yep. And there’s never been such a blizzard before.”
Chris laughed again. “Okay, okay, I’ll stay. But keep this quiet, will you?”
“My lips are sealed.”

AH! You make me grin soooooo big when I see Chris’s name. And then of course I have to read a few words further to make sure it’s not Pike – you’ve caught me that way before!
Ahhhhh. It IS cold outside. Cold anywhere away from Zach’s arms, and that’s true even in August.
Killed Captain Kirk AND Steve Trevor. LOL
And of course, both have already been killed. At least Kirk came back. Poor Stihv – as Wonder Woman pronounces his name.
I loved every word, every sentiment.
But just in case I’m wrong, I might better go back and read it a few more times just to be sure!!!
My heart!
If I can’t have Chris, I’d most want Zach to have him.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE Sunday morning fics!!!!!!!!!!!!

It figures that Chris would be unprepared for a New York Winter. I bet he has no socks on either! Lol! They make a cute couple and would be perfect together. Hope they get to stay warm together for a very long time. ❤️❤️❤️
