Chapter Text
Delsin sighed as he got off the phone with his brother, Reggie, before looking at you with a weak smile. You start to gather dry bits of plywood, shivering in your damp clothes, and began piling them up to make a fire.
The two of you had gotten caught out in the rain, which was pouring down at this point, while exploring the less urban areas of Seattle.
Unfortunately neither of you had gotten there by car, instead Delsin using his conduit powers to zip you guys over. But he hadn't thought it through because he ended up running out of energy right as the rain began to fall thus you both had to break into one of the many abandoned warehouses.
"What did he say?" You focused your power onto the pile of plywood, raising the temperature until it began to smoke, and eventually a small flame began to show. "He is coming to get us, right?"
"He'll get us but we'll have to wait awhile, something about his shift." Delsin rubbed the back of his neck before taking a seat near the small fire, holding his hands up to the flames. "So we might as well get comfortable. Sorry about this, probably the last place you want to spend a Friday night."
"At least he's getting us, that's what matters. So we'll have to wait here, not so bad." You poke at the fire with a small metal pipe you found laying on the ground. "Might as well make the most of it."
You had always had feelings for Delsin, since you both were little kids, so maybe this could be your chance to tell him how you felt. He was your best friend, knowing all your secrets just like you did with him.
Despite your crush on him you didn't act different; no getting tongue tied, no blushing uncontrollably when he looked at you, or any other thing that normally happened when someone had a crush. You just figured it was from being in love with him for so long that it became second nature to you.
"I'm glad you're being so positive about this situation." Delsin rolled his eyes at you as he shivered violently. "I'm freezing my ass off."
"Stop being such a baby, I'll add more wood to the fire." You tossed in two more pieces of plywood, using your powers to make it rapidly heat up, and looked at him with a small smile. "Better or are you still cold?"
"I'm still cold, how aren't you freezing?" The raven haired male raised an eyebrow at you as he continued to shiver. "Seriously, how are you fine?"
"You forget that my powers are temperature based, dummy." You couldn't help but scoff at the shivering male. "Want me to warm you up?"
"Please, I think I'm starting to lose feeling in my fingers." Delsin rubbed his hands together and blew hot air on them. "I'd rather not lose them."
You crawled over to him before straddling his lap, pressing your chest against his, and focused on raising the temperature around you both. Delsin quickly wrapped his arms around you, burying his face into the crook of your neck, and let a content sigh out.
"Better or no?" You lazily draped your arms around his neck, toying with his hair, and pressed yourself closer to him. "Hopefully you're feeling a little warmer."
"Yeah, I'm doing a lot better but I'm still cold." He tightened his grip around your waist and continued to shiver. "Anyway to get some more heat?"
"I could directly rise your temp but there's a catch." You sighed mildly annoyed about how much heat he seemed to be absorbing. "It needs to be through skin-to-skin contact. So how do you want to do this?"
"Oh...um what's the best way?" Delsin blushed slightly at how casual you were being about it. "Any place in particular that will work best?"
"Kissing works fine, it gets the job done." You explain with a small shrug before cupping his face into your hands. "So just kiss me."
Delsin blushed as your lips ghosted his, hands resting on the small of your back. You started with a small peck, feeling the warmth radiating from your lips, before kissing him a bit longer with each peck.
Tangling your hands into his dark hair as he slowly began to kiss back, lightly scrapping your teeth on his bottom lip, and smiled when he deepened the kiss. His lips taste like something sweet, you can't place your finger on what it is, and find yourself wanting more.
You shivered when his tongue brushes against yours, pressing your body as close to his as you can, and began to return the favor. His hands slipped under your shirt, earning a small gasp from you because of his cold hands, tracing your ribs with feathery touches. After a moment you both part for air, panting heavily, and rest your foreheads against each other's.
"Feeling better?" You could feel the heat radiating off of him, his heart beating rapidly as he tried to catch his breath. "I think you're good."
"I don't know...I'm still a little cold." Delsin flashed you his infamous smirk before giving you a chaste kiss. "I think I'm gonna need a little more."
"Don't push your luck, Delsin, if you want more you'll have to take me out on a date." You laughed a little, giving him one last kiss, before jumping at Delsin's phone going off. "You better get that."
With that you climbed off his lap, taking the warmth from the fire until it went out, and looked at Delsin with a small smile. Watching him pace back and forth as talked with Reggie.
"Reggie's here," Delsin pocketed his phone before taking your hand in his, intertwining his fingers with yours, and looked away blushing. "How does tomorrow night sound?"
"Ok, let's head out." You lead him out, giving his hand a small squeeze, and hummed in thought. "I'd love to."
Delsin grinned widely as you both got into Reggie's truck, still holding hands as Reggie began to lecture both of you for being so reckless, and blushed more when you laid your head on his shoulder before drifting off to sleep.
The end!
