He’s gotten somewhat used to the cold Neil brings, over time, although they still have to cuddle with blankets for his own well-being.

Neil purrs as he dreams, and his breaths make gentle clouds in the air that catch the light like snow. And Matthew is glad he’s awake before Neil, for once, so he can see it. The way colors of the sunset dance in his frost-white hair, and how he curls in towards where Matt’s ribs meet the couch cushions, and the gentle patterns that drift across his cheeks, like a window constantly thawing and freezing over at once.

It’s like a pressure in his chest, when he remembers that this figure is a god. And a god that trusts him, at that.

He’d weave this feeling into a thousand stories, if he could figure out how. But… he’s at a loss for words.

But of course.

Of course, the god that he meets is gentle. Is soft, and careful, and enthralled by fantasy.

He must be so lucky, to have been able to have this chance. Because as much as Neil has been worn by the world, he tries to keep his edges smoothed over, and he watches, and he listens, and he cares. More than he realizes, Matthew is almost certain.

Neil would have the world think him a villain.

Matthew is all too happy to look at him as a friend.]
