"I've always fancied it," Gael replied, his head resting on Carlos' shoulder as he draped an arm over the man's chest. He really wanted to push himself up to get water, but at the same time...did not want to leave the warmth and comfort that Carlos provided. "I like it more when it snows, and I have an excuse to bundle up by a fire. Maybe I'm a bit of a romantic at heart." Or maybe it was just that Carlos brought out the romantic in him, because the only person he could see himself curled up in front of a fire with was Carlos.

For that matter, he'd never been overly prone to romantic gestures before Carlos barreled into his life. For Carlos' birthday, he'd taken the man out for a nice, candle lit dinner that had been followed by a stroll through the Green as a light snow fell around them. They'd spent most of the night just talking, eating chocolate covered strawberries and drinking wine as they say on his bedroom floor after the walk. They'd even shared a warm bath, complete with bubbles and candles...

Far more romantic than he'd been with anyone else- ever.

Daniel had always claimed Leon could be romantic when it suited him, and Gael sometimes suspected it was a genetic trait that only expressed itself in careless, care free moments. But it was always in the direction of Carlos.

"If I have a hangover tomorrow....remind me that it was worth it." He said, turning his head to press his lips to Carlos' shoulder before he yawned despite himself. "And that making dinner for everyone else was my idea; I might regret that in the morning."
