Fics like cold resolve

The New Year’s Eve celebration at the Institute found everyone in fine humor, drinks flowing, and Matthew conveniently missing. James found a Locking rune neatly cut on the balcony doors, and Matthew beyond them, a tow-headed, snowy figure out in the cold. “You know,” James said, as he joined Matthew at the balcony rail, gently bumping his shoulder, “my parents shut up the balcony doors because they thought it was too cold.” Matthew, coatless and dusted with snow enough to tell James he’d been out here for a while, smiled into the night. James had to wonder when he’d slipped away, and why he hadn’t noticed. “It’s cooler out here. Quieter.” “You’re shaking.” Matthew’s hands twitched on the railing, as though he was tempted to tuck them out of sight, but otherwise he stayed put. “Give me your arm.” There's a conversation that needs to be had, and it starts and ends on the Institute balcony.
