The first time they met, the huge body was lying in that thick block of ice, he couldn't help but be surprised, he panicked and called for everyone to break the ice and save him immediately. When the block of ice broke, the crimson eyes opened, standing out against his pale skin, his gaze was fixed on the pupils of the man in front of him, like a kind of magic that the chains could not escape. He came back to his senses when he saw his hand was covered in ice when he grabbed his arm, he remembered the words of the elders about Winterbringer, he misunderstood him and explained everything. After introducing himself, resolving and giving a solution to this endless winter, Ice Mint asked him to join them, Frostrock coldly agreed, still seeming to have a hint of hostility. The friendliness of everyone on the journey made him somewhat suspicious. When he told about his past, Ice Mint wanted everyone in his village and the neighboring village to understand his true self, Frostrock was surprised by his decision and even wanted him to go with him to explain his story. Frostrock found him strange but he did not hate him, Ice Mint said that he had to thank him, Frostrock smiled and thanked him. When everything ended, he invited him to live with him, but he refused, he had to take responsibility for what he had done to Frostie, and he promised to meet him and would always welcome him.

After two weeks Frostie was purified, everything gradually returned to its orbit in Ice Mint's village, he also took this time to build a relationship with Frostrock and explain his story to everyone in the village. A special feeling arose in the hearts of the two of them. Frostrock felt confused by this feeling, he thought it was because the cold had subsided that made him uncomfortable. As for Ice Mint, he realized that after the first meeting, his gaze had been deeply imprinted in his heart, perhaps this was the feeling of liking someone, that time was truly miraculous, and now he found it hard to believe, he had fallen for that man, it was really uncomfortable not being able to confess his feelings to the person he felt like he liked. Ice Mint jumped up and grabbed the sword and some items and ran to find him.

Standing in front of an unfinished wooden house, Ice Mint hesitated in front of his house's door, what if he felt uncomfortable or hated him. He took a step back and wondered if this was the right move. Frostrock came from behind, he caught sight of his figure in front of the house and couldn't help but wonder, "What is this guy doing in front of my house?" Ice Mint was startled, turned around and was a bit panicked.

"Ice Mint, what are you doing in front of my house?""It's Frostrock, I just wanted to find you to talk.""It's not convenient to stand outside, let's go inside and continue talking."

Entering his newly built house, the smell of pine wood spread into Ice Mint's nose. There weren't many things in the house, only a hard wooden bed without a mattress and a simple table and chairs, a space that was both empty and cozy. It seemed like there was no kitchen in his house, so did he have enough to eat? He pushed a chair over to him, the two of them sat down facing each other at the small table.

"So, what's the reason you came here today?""I just wanted to talk to you, after everything, I still want you to live with everyone but I can't, so I just want to give you some things to support your life here.""Oh really. Thank you for your kindness."He took out from his pocket some woodworking tools like a wood plane, hammer, nails, sandpaper,... and a whetstone. It felt like Frostrock would need these items to build a house and his house should have a little more furniture and at least a kitchen. Ice Mint wondered what he had eaten recently? Damn it, at least bring some food, he thought.

"Maybe next time I'll bring you a mattress." Ice Mint looked at the empty bed."Thank you, you seem to be very nice to me and everyone.""It's nothing, I want to help as many people as possible because I want to see smiles on everyone's lips."

Ice Mint smiled his usual mischievous smile, the strange feeling in Frostrock's heart rose again, he covered his face and pondered over his answer. Ice Mint grabbed his arm and removed it from his face.

"Actually, my main purpose of coming here is not just that" Ice Mint stood up and faced Frostrock "I want to confess my feelings toward you""Feelings?""Frostrock, since we met, I've been moved by you, no, I've fallen in love with you. Your eyes are always clearly visible in my heart. You're very strong both in appearance and on the inside. I really, really, really like you." 

Ice Mint held Frostrock's hand tightly and expressed his true feelings for Frostrock, Frostrock was surprised and didn't know how to react and accidentally froze Ice Mint's hand. Frostrock panicked and let go of Ice Mint's hand.

"I'm sorry" Frostrock removed the ice on his hand, maybe he was in pain, the memory of the past alienation resurfaced in his mind. He was afraid that he would hurt Ice Mint, who was so strangely kind to him, at this moment that strange feeling turned into a burning sensation, was he getting retribution for freezing him? Each line of thought flashed through his mind, 

causing Frostrock to avoid Ice Mint. Ice Mint raised the white-hair man cheek and said to him.

"You don't need to apologize, I know you'll be shocked at first, it's strange that someone of the same sex would have feelings for you, and with your past, I think this is my own haste. Actually, I'm the one who should apologize for being hasty, but I hope you'll understand me and let the past be the past, everything was just a misunderstanding, when the time comes, I'll show you how things have changed. Oh, and the freezing, you don't need to worry because I'm Ice Mint, and this little bit of ice is nothing"

Ice Mint explained to him the meaning of his actions, he knew that this was too much for someone who had just gone through a crisis like him to take in. He knew that everything he did was probably wrong, but he didn't care. What Ice Mint wanted right now was for Frostrock to understand his heart, and agreeing was another matter, because Ice Mint would always be by his side and understand him.

Frostrock's heart was pounding. The hot feeling that filled his body was inexplicably urging him to respond to Ice Mint's actions. Frostrock moved closer to Ice Mint, their faces getting closer, the excitement in his body urged him to kiss the boy in front of him. Perhaps after Ice Mint's words, he understood what those indescribable feelings were when he remembered him. It was love, it was the desire that was overflowing in his heart, it was the desire for his free gaze. Frostrock gently kissed Ice Mint's lips. He was surprised.

"Frostrock!""Thank you for understanding me. Actually, after what happened, I honestly had a strange feeling when I thought about you and thanks to your answer, I also understood.""Ice Mint, I'm too, fallen in love with you"

Frostrock grabbed Ice Mint's hands and confessed his feelings, Ice Mint immediately hugged Frostrock, smiled brightly and kissed his cheek. The pent-up emotions in the hearts of the two boys were released through this hug, the hug that brought them together, the warm hug of an icy couple. Ice Mint declared:

"Then, from this moment on, you and I are officially lovers with Frostie as a witness"Ice Mint pointed at the winter spirit sleeping in his hair and laughed. This idea wasn't bad, Frostie had more or less influenced their meeting. If he hadn't gone with everyone to find Winterbringer that day, he probably wouldn't have found this look in his eyes in his entire life. Ice Mint gave him the warmest hug and Frostrock gave him the most sincere kiss. The two of them hugged and kissed for a long time before realizing that it was already quite late. Both of them let go of each other at the same time, regretting the end of this magical moment.

"We will meet again, I promise you."

"Okay. Be careful."

"Goodbye."

Frostrock saw him off to the door and said goodbye to each other. Both of them continued with their lives, both thinking that things might have happened too quickly. But that was them. That was the passionate Ice Mint. That was the real Frostrock. That was the love that flickered in the cold snowy mountains and that was the shape of their love.

...

Since the day Ice Mint and Frostrock became lovers, Ice Mint came to the conclusion that his lover really liked kissing. To be honest, he didn't have much of an opinion. In fact, Frostrock kissed very well and he had enjoyed the kisses they had shared since the first day they met. He really liked the feeling of their lips intertwining, bringing them closer together, the scent of the wild mountains and forests, the sweet hint of nutmeg and cinnamond, the way he cherished him while kissing, and his kissing technique was also very wonderful, not rushing but sometimes leading and sucking more into the kiss. Oh, how perfect his lover is!!! But the frequency is too much! There were times when he kissed him until his lips were swollen and when he returned, he had to face many difficult questions from the villagers.

Today, on the occasion of the harvest festival, he wanted to invite him to join everyone. Swinging his greatsword on the trail up the mountain, Ice Mint encountered many fallen pine trees and bushes that had been cleared to form a new path, he followed this path to find him. Frostrock was at the end of the path, shirtless, chopping wood, the greatsword on his strong arm, he swung each powerful blow down on the log. Ice Mint glanced up at his body, his firm abs and muscular arms along with his tall bone frame created a strong yet balanced feeling, his body was really attractive!!! He sped up towards Frostrock and greeted

" Rocky!!! I miss you" Ice Mint smiled mischievously"Mint, what's wrong?"

Frostrock put down the great sword and hugged Ice Mint in his arms, seeing his lover in his arms Frostrock helped Ice Mint sit down on the large tree trunk that had been cut down. Ice Mint patted the tree trunk beside him, signaling him to sit down next to him, Frostrock thanked him but sat in front of him, he wanted to look at him more. The crimson pupils like a predator attracted Ice Mint's gaze, the gaze that had imprisoned him since the first time they met. His crimson eyes gently looked at him as if there was a story that wanted to be told. Ice Mint looked at the eyes that had made him fall in love since the first time as if he somewhat missed his gaze. The two of them now had the same thought, "it's been a long time since we've seen each other" so there are so many things to talk about.

"Nothing! I just miss you. There are a harvest festival in the village these days so I wanted to invite you down there to play. I've prepared a lot of things for you to try!" Ice Mint explained."Oh, really. Frostie has been missing you lately too. I've been building some extra room in the house. I also figured it's hard for you to come up here anyway, so I opened a new path.""Hehe, you're so thoughtful.""That's of you, and it also Frostie said that Guardian is about to awaken, so Gingerbrave's group is about to achieve their goal.""Oh, really! That's great for them. When we meet them again, we'll have to throw them a party to celebrate."

The two of them chatted about their lives. It had been a long time since this warmth had crept into their hearts, each passing moment was like a magical moment that they wished would never end. Frostie was also lying on Ice Mint's hair. The romantic scene of the happy couple appeared again in the middle of the snowy mountain forest. He was telling him about the first harvest festival after that long winter, there would be activities such as cotton harvesting, folk games, entertainment booths, etc. Frostrock listened to each of Ice Mint's stories, every story told was a free experience, a small piece of his life that he had not had the chance to witness, Frostrock leaned in and lightly kissedhis cheek.

"Hey!" Ice Mint jerked and covered his cheek"Don't like it?" Frostrock replied"It's not that I don't like it" Ice Mint rubbed his cheek as an apology for his actions just now."Actually, sometimes I wonder why you like kissing me so much?"

Frostrock smiled lightly then stood up and hugged him, then rubbed the back of Ice Mint's neck in his arms. He lifted his chin so that his eyes could meet his, the moment their eyes met, the blue pupils this time entered his eyes, a blue of freedom, eyes that made him waver from the first time they met. He immediately kissed his lover's eye tail.

"I don't know how to express my feelings as much as you, Frostie said that kissing is an action that comes from the most genuine emotions. That's why the kisses I give you are actions of affection that come from my heart"Frostrock placed Ice Mint's hand on his left chest. The beat of his heart was like a melodious love song, passionate as if agreeing with his answer. His ethereal beauty and sincerity made Ice Mint shy for a moment, but she enjoyed the sound of his heart."So that's it. I have another question. How are you such a good kisser? Did you learn from someone?""I learned from you. Every time I kiss, I pay attention a little bit and learn from my experience. Don't you like it?"

Why is your lover so cute! His answer was both sincere and confusing. He also felt embarrassed when asking this question, but through this answer, it was no longer so. Perhaps he and he understood each other's love language. He used both hands to lift his face and leaned his face against his lips to give him a light kiss.

"No, I really like it. My lover is super cute!!!""So you should just express more emotions!"Ice Mint smiled brightly. His hand caressed his lover's hair and then gave him another light kiss. A sincere kiss that contained all the young man's heart for his lover."This is the answer to your question." Ice Mint playfully licked his lips"Thank you for accepting me for who I am." Frostrock hugged him

Ice Mint raised his cheeks with both hands and gave him a deep kiss. The cool mint scent mixed with a bit of bitter chocolate spread into Frostrock's mouth, greedily searched for this refreshing taste. When their lips parted, a thin layer of ice formed on the tip of Ice Mint's lips, causing him to lick his lips. Frostrock was momentarily stimulated by his action and rubbed the back of his neck, bringing Ice Mint's face closer to his, kissing his cheeks and reaching the tip of his lips, when they gave each other another kiss. The two people's minds merged with the kiss, the kiss of a budding love, the kiss of understanding, sincerity, and a kiss that only the two of them understood the meaning of. When their lips parted, Frostie had just woken up, Ice Mint had also taken both Frostie and Frostrock out for the holiday with him.

"Oh, and one more thing" Ice Mint took out a necklace from his pocket with a dog tag named Ice Mint on it

"Every time I miss you, I just need to remember this necklace, it will help remind you that a piece of me is always beside you." Ice Mint gave it to him."Thank you." Frostrock put the necklace around his neck.

Ice Mint also held a necklace with his lover's name on it around his neck. The pair of necklaces swaying in the wind is proof of this love. A love that left an eternal beauty on this Earthbread. Ice Mint will always love Frostrock and his kisses, in every image of him from now on and forever. The road ahead is thorny, but when they think of each other, all the difficulties are just small things.
