tetralea:

Imagine laying on your bed at your room in the dorm, but every attempt of yours to fall asleep fails. It’s too cold. Yesterday the heating got broke and now it was freezing cold in the whole building. Thank God it wasn’t one of the coldest days of winter, but more than 24 hours without heating made you feel more and more uncomfortable. You were trying everything to get yourself warm somehow, but nothing worked.

You reached our for your phone and than quickly pulled your hands back under the blankets. The blue light of your phone was too much for a couple of seconds, but you must write to Chris. Thank god, he didn’t left for the weekend, which meant he will share your feelings against the current situation. 

The conversation wan’t too long, you explained to him that even under two blankets and wearing your warmest socks and pj you are still too cold to be able to fall asleep. Obviously it wan’t such a big deal to him. Men somehow were these magical creatures who seemed to be resistant for cold. He reassured you that you won’t die, and even if you do you have to write that test on next Thursday. He also promised if he won’t see you tomorrow at the cafeteria sipping your morning coffee he will check whether you turned into an ice cube during the night or not.

You slipped your phone under your pillow and tried to get comfortable and warm enough to fall asleep. Soon you could hear knocking on your door and you could hear Chris’ voice calling out your name.

‘Come in!’ You said loud enough him to hear, and sneak in your room. ‘What are you doing here?’ You asked peaking out of the multiple layers. 

‘You know, Sunshine, it wouldn’t be fair to you to die and skip that test next week.’ He giggles and a cheeky smile appears on his face. You just shake your head and let him sit on your bed, then lift the blankets to slip under them. He is still smiling at you, which makes you face lighten up. You crawl to a bit left to give him more space. This bed was not made for two people. 

‘You are so kind.’ You said with a mocking tone. 

“Well, I here to warm you up, so, yeah, I am kind.’ Strong arms were wrapping around your body, pulling you closer to him. It feels too nice. His skin radiates warmth and his scent finds it’s way to your subconscious calming your nerves immediately.  

‘Thank you!’ You whisper and he laughs softly, pulling you even closer. Slowly your body is warming up thanks to Chris. ‘Are you asleep?’ You ask voice low and uncertain. 

‘No, I’m trying to figure out if you’ve got warmed up already. You feel a bit warmer.’ He answers and starts to rub his hands up and down on your back. 

‘It’s getting better- but, please don’t leave. You feel so good.’ You mutter closing your eyes, inhaling his scent deeply. He pauses in his movements for a second, before placing a gentle kiss on you forehead. You must have been partly asleep if you didn’t notice how did your last sentence sounded. 

He turned you to your other side. Now he was spooning you, it was a lot more comfortable and a lot less tempting. You sighed as his warm chest and tights were pressed against your back and legs. He held you close and wrapped his arm around you hips, pulling the blanket up until your neck to keep you warm. 

‘I’m not going anywhere, Sunshine. I love cuddling you.’ He sighed and buried his nose into your hair, inhaling your scent, holding you tight. 

You instinctively interlocked your fingers and pulled them to your mouth. Chris didn’t say a thing before gently kissing your neck and brushing his lips to your smooth skin. 

It was more than comfortable, cuddling you like this, holding you in his arms. He fall asleep quickly, secretly hoping the workers will be too lazy to fix the heating during the weekend, so maybe he will be able to come tomorrow too. Maybe finally you will notice his so obvious crush on you and reciprocate his feelings.
