how omega dottore and segment 8 ask pantalone for funding

A long sigh leaves the cold air in front of you curling.

Whether it's due to the dropping temperatures or the shortage of Kristall, nights in Sretomorozsk have been colder, harsher as of late.

And your darling lover Alyosha is still out on his "hunt". Seriously, does he have to do this kind of work in the middle of a blizzard?

You understand that his work is important— 'freeze or starve', he always reminds you— but surely there’s other ways than this.

Your train of thought gets interrupted with the sudden squeak of the cabin door opening.

“Didn’t I tell you to go rest already? You didn’t have to–“

“Alyosha! You look so cold, let me…”

He shivers as he steps further inside, snow still clinging to his hair and coat. You’re already wrapping a thick blanket around him.

He sighs gratefully, some color returning to his tired face as the warmth of the blanket reaches him. The bits of snow caught in his hair melt, now that he's out of the blizzard.

"Tugarin is already asleep, I think you might need rest as well"

He nods weakly, too exhausted to even think about resisting. Instead, he lets your gentle hands lead him to the bed, slowly enveloping him to share some of your body heat.

"You're so warm", he mumbles into the crook of your neck, still a little shaky.

Outside, the storm rages on, but in the embrace of his lover, the cold feels very far away.
