Summary: "I'm sick of winter."

“I’m sick of winter.” Edward sat with both his elbows in the window’s frame, glaring out at the bluster of snow spiraling furiously past. “It’s almost fuckin’ April, this is goddamn ridiculous.”

“Mm.” Kenshin rinsed another plate in the sink, only half-listening, as Edward had been on this rant since the end of February. “Despite popular belief, a switch doesn’t flip overnight, Edward.”

“No, but I bet if we ran that brat Frost out it would warm up around here real fast.” Edward folded his arms and then slumped, dropping his chin to rest on his arms. “Would help if I could even see the bastard.”

“I don’t know why you can’t, just about everyone else here can.” Dishes went in the strainer, Kenshin hadn’t opened the dishwasher in weeks - he wasn’t sure what was in there, but it growled occasionally. “Unless you still think we’re making him up just to mess with your head.”

Edward glared at the faint reflection of Kenshin in the glass. “I refuse to discount the possibility.”

“Yeah, that’s definitely why you can’t see him.”

“Whatever, that doesn’t negate the fact that someone needs to show him the door. I’m ready for the sun and the grass and the trees-”

“And the heat, and your constant complaining about how hot it is, that we need to turn on the air - and then the complaints about living in a refrigerator start.” Edward lifted his head and actually turned the full force of his glare on Kenshin, who glanced back at him and smiled sweetly. “I still love you, though.”

Edward grumbled to himself and dropped his chin back on his arms. “I’m just so sick of this never-ending winter,” he said with a long sigh.

Kenshin nodded, and returned to the dishes. “Me too.”
