Summary: Xander, Spike and Angel go for a vacation

Xander really didn't like the winter. It was bad enough that it was cold in the mornings and evenings. Now his boyfriends had dragged him to some mountain cabin. He was sitting in the car and staring out of the window. It was snowing outside and even if Xander had never seen real snow before he was pretty sure he was going to hate it too. It looked cold. He couldn't wait until they got to their destination. He had taken several of his comics with him and also his handheld game console. He had every intention to stay inside the whole time they were at this cabin. If Angel and Spike wanted to freeze themselves by being outside they were free to do so. Whey they had started to drive Spike had tried to get him to brighten up a little but had soon given up and concentrated on admiring the scenery together with Angel.

Finally the car stopped. Xander grabbed his own bag and made his way to the cabin. He only took his boots off since it was freezing inside the cabin too. He quickly checked the different rooms and when he located the bedroom he got on the bed and dug one of his comics from his bag. He could hear Angel and Spike talking something in the other room but didn't pay much attention to it. They could do whatever they wanted. Xander still hadn't forgiven them that they had forced him to go to this trip. It was their first shared vacation in a long time and Xander had thought they would do something fun. With fun he had meant some warm place where they could lay on a beach and enjoy just being together. Instead of that he had been dragged to some arctic location in the middle of nowhere. He had been against this plan from the beginning but had lost the vote 2 to 1. It was easy for Spike and Angel. They were used to cold since they had both grown in countries that got snow occasionally. Xander had been born and raised in California. He liked his sun. Now he had been forced to buy a totally new set of clothes made of wool. Of course he was happy for them now since they seemed to keep him warm. They did itch a little but that was better than freezing his ass off.

Suddenly Xander felt the bed moving and guessed that one or both of his lovers had just joined him there. He didn't move his gaze from the comic book but ignored his lovers completely. He was sure they were there to talk him to go out or something. That wasn't going to happen so it was easier for him to ignore them completely. He wasn't prepared to the bed moving again so soon.

"Right, that's it."

Then Xander felt his legs being handled and noticed that Spike was busy putting his boots back on. He tried to wiggle his legs to make it more difficult but in the end the boots were again on his feet. Next he found himself being hauled onto Angel's shoulder and carried out of the room. He wondered what his lovers were up to now.

"Hey Angel, I know how to walk myself you know. You can put me down now."

He received no reply and soon he realized that they were heading out. He started to wiggle but only received a firm smack on his buttocks. Then they were already outside and Xander could practically feel the cold seeping into him. Then to his shock he was dumped to the ground so that he lost his footing and fell on his back. He tried to scramble back up immediately. As soon as he had his feet under him something smacked right at his chest. When he looked down he noticed some snow dripping down and when he looked up he saw Spike smirking at him from some distance. There was also some snow in the other man's hands. Before Xander had time to do anything more snow hit him.

"Stop that guys! I want to go back inside. It's freezing in here."

"Come on, Xander. Don't be like that. We are here to have fun!"

"You can have fun out here. I have plenty fun with my comic books and games inside."

"You can play the games and read the comics whenever. It's not very often you can have all the peace you want and plenty of snow to play in."

"It's cold in here!"

"No, it's not. You have plenty of clothes on you. You've just decided that you are going to feel cold so that is why you are feeling that now."

Then Xander received one more snowball right at his chest. He tried to glare at Spike but it had no effect. The other man just smirked at him and scooped up some more snow in preparation of throwing more of it at Xander. Then suddenly a snowball hit him from a different direction. This time it had been Angel throwing it. Xander didn't know what to do anymore. Without warning he charged at Spike catching him totally by surprise. They both fell into ground and the snowball Spike had been preparing hit his own face. Xander couldn't help laughing at the ridiculous sight of Spike wiping the snow out of his eyes. Not long after that he yelped when Spike reversed their positions and stuffed some snow down Xander's shirt. Of course Xander needed to retaliate. It didn't take long before they were rolling in the snow trying to best each other.

That was until they caught the sound of laughing. Angel was standing some distance away watching them. By a shared decision Xander and Spike charged at the other man and bowled him over. Then they proceeded to stuff Angel's shirt full of snow. Soon all three of them were rolling around on the ground and trying to avoid getting snow onto themselves but trying to drown the others. Xander had forgotten all about the coldness and him wanting to go back inside. His only mission now was to best his boyfriends.

Finally they all gave up and just lay on the ground panting. They were all out of breath and their clothes were all wet. By Angel's initiative they went back inside the cabin. They all stripped their clothes so that they wouldn't get sick. In no time they had the fire blazing in the fireplace and they cuddled in front of the fire on a soft rug. Xander began to change his opinion about the place. It had been a while since he had had so much fun. It was also quite nice to just lay at the warmness coming from the fireplace while he had his lovers with him. He realized that he had gotten the vacation idea completely wrong. It didn't really matter where they went. The only thing that mattered was that he had Angel and Spike there with him. He began to think that maybe this week up at the cabin might be fun after all.
