POV: Puffy
She sits down on the couch, still holding me in her arms she places me on her lap again so my back is on the armrest. She grabs the remote and turns towards me,
"What do you wanna watch? Cocomelon?" I look at her for any sign of her joking but her face is blank
"Uhm...No, Minx that's a toddler show" I say letting out a smile. She also begins to break,
"Yeah...and?" I start silently laughing, harder and harder until she finally laughs with me. We're both just sitting there laughing our asses off at the fact that she wants to watch Cocomelon
"You bitch! You made me fucking break!" She covers her mouth with her hand, trying to mute the laugh,
"Oh shut the fuck up, you couldnt've held that if you tried"

We go on laughing for about 6 more minutes when finally she says,
"Ok ok ok, but actually. What do you want to watch?" Her smile fades, it's still there, but it's slight.
"Why don't we finally fucking finish Harley Quinn?" I say, my smile turning into a smirk. Without saying anything she turns back to the tv and finds the show. She starts it and then lifts me up again,
"Woah woah woah what's going on? I'm being moved!" I say as she sets me back down.
"Oh calm down I was just going to get the light" It's the afternoon but something tells me this will last a while.

POV: Minx
I flick the light switch off and turn to go back to the couch. Puffy's all scrunched up in the corner,
"Why are you so far in the corner?" I ask sitting down next to her. Sad I couldn't assume my previous position.
"I got kinda cold but shh you'll miss the show!" She says pointing at the tv in front of us.
"I'll get you a sweat shirt" I say standing up again when I feel a little tug on my sleeve
"No! I'm fine, really" She says looking up at me. I don't believe her but sit down anyways.

"If you're telling the truth let me test something" I reach over and grab her nose. It's ice cold.
"Puffy you're nose is freezing!! Why didn't you fucking say something sooner??" I try to think of things I could do. I have my Corpse hoodie on but it's too big on me I can't imagine how big it'll be on her. Speaking of, I look down at Puffy, who's began shivering slightly
"My god, c'mere" I say. I remembered that body heat is really useful so I grab a blanket that was on the chair next to us around her and me (because I'm cold now) and then sit sideways on the couch so she's leaning back. She snuggles into me, turns around, and stuffs her face in the crook of my neck. In a muffled voice she says,
"We just missed like half the episode" I can't hear her
"What did you say?" She looks up at me, we're so close our noses are almost touching
"I said, we just missed like half the fucking episode" I scoff and turn back towards the tv. This time a little more comfortable for some reason...

We're about 3/4 of the way through our 5th episode when I look down at the girl I've been too afraid to look at. Her back is moving up and down slowly signaling she's asleep.
"Wow, two nights in a row" I whisper, turning the tv off. I bring her back to my bed and lay her down, under the covers so she's warm. I give her a light kiss on the forehead before leaving to go find food. I'm about to close the door when I hear,
"Minx, you're so gorgeous sometimes I canlfskldka" and then it turns into mumbling. I smile feeling my cheeks burn as I close the door. Maybe I have a chance.
