Warming Up From the Cold

Chapter 1

Hello everyone. I came up with this fic because I wanted to come up with some winter themed Takari fluff. I also wanted to do an experiment to see if I could write a mature Takari, so I just combined the two ideas. The fluff is in this chapter and the mature content (and some more fluff) is in the next two chapters where things get a little heated between TK and Kari. This fic is rated M as a result.

Summary: TK and Kari get very cold and wet after having some fun in the snow on a date. Once back at TK's, they find themselves keeping warm in a way they have never tried before and at the same time taking their relationship to the next stage. Mature Takari.

Right, time for the disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or any other copyrighted thing that I mention in the whole of this story (that means this chapter and later chapters).

Now on with the story …

A cold wind blew the light flurry of perfect white snowflakes down the streets of Odaiba, adding to the already large snow drifts in the streets. The massive grey cloud that hung in the sky had relentlessly covered most of Japan in an unusually large amount of snow over the last few days and it appeared that it would continue to do so for the next few days. At least the snowfall on this day had eased off. The blizzards of the pervious two days had left record levels of snow and brought most of the country to a halt.

People had finally decided to venture out into the streets now the blizzards had subsided, even though the height of the snow in Odaiba was around the knees of most people. Two of the people who had decided to leave the warmth of their homes were a certain young couple. They were both seventeen years old and their school was closed due to the heavy snowfall. The teens had decided to take the chance to enjoy the snow while they could since the weather forecast said the snow was going to increase again overnight and that meant they might not be able to see each other for another few days. That was something they weren't used to because they usually saw each other everyday.

The couple were wisely dressed for the weather in thick winter clothes. They were walking hand in hand along a trench in the middle of the street, which had been dug out by the people who lived in the apartment blocks that lined the road. The two teens were heading to the local park on a date, hoping to find completely unblemished snow in which they could have some good old fashioned fun.

Takeru Takaishi, or TK to his friends, was wearing a large puffy green coat and dark blue jeans to go with his black boats. The teen boy had a pair of sweat pants on under his jeans to keep him doubly warm. He was well know for always wearing a hat and today was no exception. TK had chosen, from his collection of many hats, a white beanie that was made of wool and kept his blonde head perfectly warm.

TK's green gloved hand was holding onto his girlfriend's pink gloved hand. Hikari Kamiya, also known as Kari, was equally well dressed for the cold weather. She was wearing a large pink coat that had a furry lining to it for extra warmth. Kari was wearing warm cotton tights under her pair of dark blue jeans, which she had brought to match TK's. Likewise, she had brought her white woolly hat, which covered most of her shoulder length silky chocolate brown hair, to match her boyfriend's beanie. She had finished her look off with a pair of pink boots that matched her coat and gloves.

TK and Kari had finally admitted their love for each other a couple of months back after keeping their true feelings poorly hidden for years. It had taken them so long to become a couple because they had come up with so many things they thought their relationship might cause, all of which were ridiculous. They found out just how ridiculous they were when they did finally start dating and their relationship blossomed beyond what anyone had predicted. They now felt as if they needed each other and, as a result, would meet up everyday, hence why they were currently out in the freezing cold.

However, there were a few times when they thought their relationship might have not happened. TK had been in several relationships over the past couple of years and he had gone all the way in a few of them. Plenty of girls had chased after him before he started his relationship with Kari and, as a result of his basketball skills and good looks, he stood a chance with every girl in the school. In the end most of these relationships ended because the girl TK was dating became jealous of his close bond with Kari and gave him an ultimatum. Each time it was an easy choice for the blonde boy, his bond and secret feelings for Kari always won.

Unlike TK, Kari had decided to keep out of relationships after finishing with her one and only boyfriend prior to her current relationship. Kari's ex-boyfriend had also given her a choice between him and TK. Kari picked TK in an instant, ending the relationship then and there without even going past first base. That was the moment the brunette girl had realised she loved TK and decided to keep out of other relationships until she could come up with a plan to get her secret crush.

"Look at that," TK said as both he and Kari arrived at the park. The park was a nearly pristine blanket of white flakes that had built up there almost untouched over the last few days. The only blemish was a few footprints in the deep snow that covered the path into the area.

"It's beautiful," Kari spoke in amazement as she gazed into the park. "I've only ever seen snow like that in the Digital World."

"Come on," TK started running, leading the brunette by her hand and into the deep snow.

The two teens knew the park very well since they often visited it during the evening or at the weekends when they wanted to spend sometime together outside. They ran out into what would have been a grassy open area that was often used by kids for various field based sports. However, the grass was buried under unblemished knee height snow, which was exactly what the two teens were looking for. They had to lift their legs much higher than normal to avoid tripping up in the snow as they made their way towards a single tree in the middle of the open space.

The couple were laughing because they hadn't done anything like this in years and they had never had the chance to do it on Earth. It brought back their memories of doing similar things in the Digital World a few years ago. Things like snow angels, snowball fights between the Digidestined and sledging down the sides of large digital hills.

"Do you remember the time when you, Davis and Ken had that sledge race and Davis ended up crashing just after the start," Kari laughed as she thought back to how the race unfolded.

"Yeah," TK laughed with her. "He ended up with his head buried in the snow, which made both Ken and I laugh so much that we crashed too. I ended up looking like Frigimon by the time I'd rolled down to the bottom of the hill."

"The three of you ended up with flu and were off school for a whole week," Kari smirked before pursing her lips. "And I ended up catching it too because I came to check up on you to make sure you were ok."

"And to drop off my homework for the week," TK reminded her as he laughed at the memory.

Kari laughed with him but it suddenly became a squeal as she slipped in the snow. The teen girl fell face first into the freezing snow, pulling TK down with her as she gripped tightly onto his hand. She could feel the cold flakes against her skin as they slid under her collar and down her body.

TK had landed on his knees and quickly turned around to face his girlfriend. His worry was clearly written all over his face. "Kari, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I just slipped," the brunette teen replied as she pushed herself out of the snow. She moved into a kneeling position and felt the cold snow sliding between her clothes and skin, making her shiver. Kari's eyes noted the expression on her boyfriend's face and a smile formed on her lips. "Why are you so worried? I landed on snow, it's soft."

"Good point," TK replied as his concern faded away. "I thought you might have tripped on something buried under the snow or something like that."

"No," Kari shook her head and tried to sort out the snow she could still feel against her skin. "I screamed because I wasn't expecting it and I ended up with snow in my clothes. It is rather cold you know."

TK closed his eyes and shook his head as he laughed. "It's just a little snow."

"You think it's funny?" Kari huffed and pursed her lips. She stared at the blonde boy for a moment before a devious smirk slowly spread across her lips.

The brunette girl suddenly grabbed a handful of snow and jumped at her unsuspecting boyfriend. She tackled the teen boy so that he was lying on his back and shoved the cold white powder in her right hand under the collar of his shirt. The teen girl followed it up with another two handfuls as TK gasped in shock.

"You see, it isn't funny," Kari pouted as her eyes locked onto her boyfriend's glittering sapphire pair. She could see that he was planning something and noticed a deviant grin of his own forming across his lips.

It was too late for Kari to react as TK spun her around so he was on top of her. She felt him exacting his revenge by placing a large handful of snow under her collar, making her squeal as she felt the freezing flakes slowly melt down her body. The brunette defended herself by gripping her collar and tightening it so TK couldn't put his hand under, but it was a futile attempt. She felt him place several huge clumps of snow under the hem of her jumper so they would melt against her shirt. The teen girl knew she had to retaliate now.

Kari made two snowballs in her hands and then smeared them against her boyfriend's face. She quickly followed up with another two balls of the white powder that she placed down the front of his top. The teen girl then felt TK stop his attack and grip her wrists. She tried to break free so she could put even more snow down his top so he would know how uncomfortable she felt right now.

TK didn't release his grip as Kari continued to struggle. Her brown eyes then locked onto TK's and noticed the amused grin spread across his face. She stopped squirming and a smirk of her own started to form. The couple burst out laughing as they realised how ridiculous and childish they were being.

"Imagine what some random person would think if they walked by and saw us shoving snow down each other's tops," TK laughed out loud as he let go of his girlfriend's arms and placed his hands on the ground to support himself.

"They'd probably think we were either kids or completely insane," Kari laughed with the blonde boy as she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck.

The couple's laughter slowly began to die down as their eyes made contact. They started staring lovingly into one another's eyes while remaining there in the snow. Kari could feel just how close TK's body was to hers and just how close his face was to hers. She could feel the heat rising in her body, making her forget the chill of the melting snow down her top.

Kari pulled TK's face closer to hers as they both closed their eyes. They opened their mouths in anticipation of the kiss before closing the final distance between them. Their soft lips locked together, sending the usual rush of adrenaline around their bodies. The couple pulled their heads back, sliding their lips over each other's before deepening the kiss by pushing forward for more.

Their hearts started racing from the excitement that came every time they kissed. TK's and Kari's lips slid back and forth over the other's as they added more passion with every movement. The teens then slipped their tongues into one another's mouths and began French kissing. Their tongues and lips glided over each other's in a sacred dance as the couple savoured the taste of the other's saliva.

The passionate kiss lasted for several hot minutes before the couple finally and reluctantly pulled apart. They were both breathing heavily as the need for air took over their bodies. Kari and TK both slowly opened their eyes so they could gaze lovingly at each other yet again.

TK gave her another quick kiss before he backed off and stood up. The blonde teen offered his hand to Kari to help her up and out of the snow. She took it and felt the water from the snow trickle over her skin as he helped pull her up to her feet. The brunette girl started to shiver now her boyfriend's body wasn't against hers to keep her warm.

"I know we've only just got here but I'm feeling rather cold because of all the snow down my top," Kari gazed at TK as she spoke. "I was wondering if we could go to your apartment so I could warm up. Is that ok with you?"

"Yeah," TK nodded in agreement as he placed his right arm around Kari's back to pull her close. It was an attempt to warm both himself and her up because he was now beginning to feel the cold too. "I think that's a good idea. Let's go."
