It was with mounting dread that Ishida and Decembra had observed the worsening storm engulfing the city. He should have been back from his work trip the day before Christmas Eve, plenty of time to spend with Decembra across Christmas Eve and Christmas Days, but flight after flight got cancelled, then even the train lines.
The last Decembra had heard from Ishida, he was going to see if he could get a car before the roads closed, determined to make it back to her for Christmas somehow, but the power had gone out hours ago, and the cell towers with them.
Then, mere minutes away from midnight came a knock on the door.
Waiting on the other side was, somehow, impossibly, Uryu, out there in the dark, somehow having defied all odds to make it to her, all bundled up with a fine dusting of snow over him.
"I'm never going to agree to work trip this close to Christmas again, I promise."
Decembra had been trying to be optimistic as the time passed. Hoping that the weather would break just enough for him to make it home to her. But as it worsened, a heavy weight of dread and disappointment settled heavily on her. Worry had her still awake, the apartment feeling emptier than usual without Uryu there and not knowing where he was and if he was safe in such weather.
Candles were lit around the apartment, small havens of light amid the thick darkness that overcast each room.
She had just finished lighting the fireplace to fend off the chill that was seeping into the apartment when she heard the knock at the door. She was dressed in an oversized sweater and Christmas-themed pajama bottoms.
There were a multitude of emotions that washed over her at the sight of Uryu in the doorway. Joy, surprise, worry, and relief all culminated in her all but throwing herself on him. She didn't care about the cold wet of snow on her body; her arms flung around his shoulders.
"Uryu!" She exclaimed, hugging him tight before pulling back to look at him, hands moving to cup his face. "How are you here?" she smiled widely, happily at him, eyes shining with joyful tears as she took his hands and ushered him inside the apartment.
Uryu caught her in his arms, allowing himself to hug her back fiercely for a moment before letting her lead him out of the cold and into their home. "That's a long story," he admitted as he tugged off his shoes, his cheeks flushed, surprisingly warm for having been out in the cold.
"The short version is that the roads were closed, so I had to use my other back up plan." It was a good thing he was the sort of person to have a few. "I called in a favor and crossed through to the space between worlds, then crossed back over to here," he explained as he carefully unwound his scarf and doffed his snow jacket, hanging it on the coat hanger.
He was being honest with her, but there were things he was leaving out. Aside from the fact that he needed help getting to and from the other planes of existence, there was another reason this method had been a last resort, and it was why he looked as flushed as he did – it involved a great deal of running to stay ahead of dangerous entities that roamed the space between worlds.
But it was worth it to be here with her on Christmas Eve. Uryu gathered her up in his arms, pressing a warm, lingering kiss to her lips. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll make it up to you."
Decembra watched him as he spoke, a bit of worry tightening in her stomach at the mention of the space between worlds. She knew vaguedly that it was dangerous, and though she was confident in Uryu's abilities the thought of him in danger always made her heart tighten in her chest.
"Uryu" she said softly as he drew her into his arms, her arms slipping about his shoulders mouth opening to the press of his lips, melting eagerly into the kiss. She felt lightheaded when it broke, and her worries seemed far away when he was right there, safe and secure in her arms.
"Mm, you better make it up to me. I was downright distraught," she said with a playful hum to her voice. She kissed him again, slow and deep, a hand sliding up to thread through his hair, her mouth opening up to the press of his tongue, groaning softly at the taste of him.
"I will only accept you filling me right up with come" she murmured against his lips, gently pulling on his lower lip with her teeth. It had been too long since she touched him, kissed him, and she was eager to make up for every moment lost between them.
Truthfully, even if he had been caught, even if he had been hurt, Uryu wouldn't have regretted it, as long as he made it home to her. This moment was worth all that danger and more. She was worth all that danger and more.
Uryu couldn't help but grin into the kiss at her declaration, even as the feeling of her lips, her tongue, her teeth sent shivers down his spine. "As you wish, my Queen," he teased in answer, scooping her up in his arms and carrying her to the fireplace, laying her down. He couldn't help but beam down at her in the firelight, taking a moment to run his fingers through her thick mane as he pressed his forehead to hers. "I've missed you so much," he breathed, before proceeding to show her just how much as he pressed a heated kiss to her lips as his hands started slipping under her clothes to start getting reacquainted with her body, mapping out every last inch of her over again.
Decembra laughed softly at the teasing, the smile easy and warm on her lips. She yelped when he picked her up, an arm slipping around his shoulder to steady herself. Her heart pounded with excitement as he carried her with ease. Uryu was far stronger than he seemed and she enjoyed that side of him as much as she enjoyed his tenderness.
He was beautiful in the firelight, and the way he looked at her made her heart flutter in her chest. Her eyes closed to the run of his fingers through her hair, a hand moving to brush across the side of his face, just breathing him in, relishing in the feeling that he was in fact there. With her.
Her breath caught as their lips met, a soft moan of pleasure sounding between them as she opened her mouth to him. Tongue slicking against his own, the taste of him washing over her senses. She arched up into the touch of his hands, helping him push the sweater up her body, as her own hands pulled at his clothing, eager to touch him, to feel the warmth of his skin.
"Missed you too, missed you so much" she breathed out between kisses, only drawing away to help him remove her sweater, leaving her topless beneath him. Her knees hugged either side of his hips, cradling him close as she caught his mouth again, slow and deep. She could get lost kissing him, the feeling sending waves of delight throughout her body.
Even though they basked in the warmth of the crackling fireplace Decembra had been tending, even though the cold had never bothered Decembra the same way it did, well, not just Uryu but most people, Uryu clearly took seriously the responsibility of keeping Decembra warm once she'd shed her sweater. His hands eagerly lavished her soft curves with attention while he drank deep of her kisses. The adoration in his eyes couldn't have been more obvious and unabashed as he looked down. Seeing her laid out on the floor beneath him like this, lit only by firelight, he could only murmur into her lips, "How did I get so lucky?"
His heart wasn't the only thing swelling at the sight of her, though – he'd missed the sound of her gasps and sighs, missed making her arch beneath him, his thigh pressing between her legs, giving her something to grind against. While one hand continued tending to her breasts, the other trailed down, down until he could slip it between them to free himself from the confines of his clothes, already hot and hard and standing at attention to fulfill her wishes.
