"What are you doing down there?"

He tilted his head, smiling.

"Mine too. You're always so warm."

He hummed happily, closing his eyes briefly.

"And we can keep each other warm."

He smiled, glancing up at him.

"It probably will. The snow has been non-stop since I've gone back in time."

He hummed, looking up in thought.

"I kind of like it, though. I'm used to just seeing rain."

"Only for you, love."

He pressed a kiss onto his pout and nuzzled his cheek against his shoulder.

"I find you cute when I tease you like this."

He hummed sweetly before leaning in to whisper into his ear.

"Plus, it's a good excuse to be punished in the bedroom."

"Heheh, cutie..."

He kissed him on the cheek and leaned his head against his shoulder.

"Heheheh..."

He chuckled as he stood up, moving to grab a hold of Romeo's hand.

"Alright. Just don't get jealous of any stray cats we come across."

"Uh-huh! I know that tone!"

He poked him on the nose.

Raising a brow, he stared at Romeo for a moment.

"...You're jealous, aren't you? You're jealous of Spring!"

"He deserves it! He's a good kitty."

He huffed, nuzzling into Romeo.

Hugging Romeo tightly, his smile widened.

"Yeah? Well we better go, then. We gotta keep him satisfied."

He grinned, peeking up at him.

"Of course, I'll always be there. You're my soulmate and you never left my side when I needed someone most. We look out for each other."

He smiled, leaning in to peck him on the lips.

Tilting his head, he blinked, confused.

"For what? Loving you?"

He smiled, poking him on the cheek.

Relaxing into his embrace, he tilted his head in the opposite direction, kissing Romeo with just as much passion.

He leaned in and kissed him again, chuckling softly as he did.

"I love you, dummy."

He mumbled with a smile.

He shifted and sat on Romeo's lap now. His arms wrapped around his neck as he leaned in to kiss his lips.

His cheeks turned pink as he looked away.

"Mm... Now you have me all flustered..."

"Hmmm... Don't play cute now."

He smiled, poking him on the nose.

"You know that's my weakness."

"Romeo!"

He sighed dramatically, leaning his head against his shoulder.

"What am I going to do with you?"

"Jerk..."

He grumbled playfully.

"Don't laugh!"

He nudged him, pouting once more.

"But you were TALL. Really tall! I barely even made it to your chest!"

He huffed and shifted to take another bite of his sandwich.

"I am glad you're not as tall, though. That was just unfair!"

He pouted playfully.

"Tch, your body is still hot."

He reassured, glancing up at him sweetly.

"Puppet or not, you'll always be perfect to me."

"Heh, you really did leave a mark. You were the King of Puppets. It's quite a title, isn't it?"

Tilting his head down, he kissed him along his collarbone.

"I still consider you a king. Except you're Carlo's King now."

He teased, peeking up at him.

"You always protected me and looked out for me... It's time I return the favor."

He nuzzled up against him.

"Even as a puppet, you looked out for me."
