<p>Even after wrapping Stuart up with the coat, Berry was still unsatisfied and thought it wasn't enough so he moved to take off his scarf but was stopped by Stuart who shook his head. Berry could do nothing but sigh, and he pulled the hood of the coat over Stuart's head to finish up and with the fur framing Stuart's face, Berry laughed lightly and pinched Stuart's cheek while thinking to himself, "who is the real bear now?"</p>

<p>Unknowingly, his thoughts were turned into words and immediately Stuart heard it, he pushed the hood off his head, avoiding Berry's eyes as heat crept up his face. His confused boyfriend tried to pull it back up but Stuart was relentless in his fight to keep that fur off his head. He wasn't sure he could go the rest of the day with Berry pinching his cheeks and calling him, 'Bear'. That was Berry's nickname, not Stuart's.</p>
