Janis wakes to a weight on her back and fingers drumming on her cheeks.

"Caddy. It's seven in the morning. Sleep."

"But it's Christmas!" Cady chirps.

"It's December first!"

"I just wanna cuddle," Cady pouts. "Where's your Christmas spirit?"

"About two weeks away," Janis grumbles into her pillow. "C'mere." Cady huffs crankily as Janis shifts, tipping her onto the bed next to her and pulling her into a cuddle. "There. Cuddle and sleep."

"Noooo," Cady whines, but Janis is already latched onto her like an octopus and snoring into her ear. "Fine. You're lucky you're cute when you sleep."

She kisses Janis' nose gently and giggles as it wrinkles before nuzzling into her girlfriend and drifting off to sleep again.

--

When Janis wakes the second time, Cady is nowhere to be found. "Caddy? Where'd you go?"

"Good morning sleepyhead," Cady chuckles, coming back into the room and handing over a mug of coffee made just the way Janis likes it.

"Thank you," Janis says, voice still rough with sleep as she rubs her eyes and takes it. "You look cute."

"Thanks!" Cady says, putting her hands on her hips with an adorable smile. She really does look cute, decked in her adorable snowman onesie. "It's so soft, feel it."

She holds out a sleeve for Janis to feel, but Janis sneakily puts her cup down and hauls her back on top of her. Cady shrieks in surprise, but quickly cuddles in.

"Let's just stay like this," Janis mumbles into her neck.

"That sounds nice," Cady agrees. "But I have a better idea."

"No, come back," Janis whines when Cady removes herself and reaches for her.

"Just trust me, we can cuddle all day after," Cady coaxes. Janis grumbles crankily as she throws the covers off and goes to her girlfriend. "Get all the pillows and blankets you can carry and meet me in the living room."

"Wh-" Janis tries to ask, getting cut off by a kiss as Cady dashes away.

-

"Oh my god, Janis," Cady laughs when Janis comes staggering out of the bedroom wrapped in their entire bedspread, tipping from side to side under the weight of it. Cady heads over and tugs the sheet away so she can see her face. "Hi."

"Hi," Janis grunts, stumbling her way to the couch and dropping everything.

"I didn't mean all at once, lovey," Cady chuckles.

"You said all I could carry," Janis retaliates.

"I guess I did. Either way it saves time. Come on," Cady says, grabbing about half and opening the door to the balcony.

"Outside? It's cold," Janis says in confusion. Cady plops her pile of blankets on the balcony and comes back to grab more.

"I'll keep you warm," she purrs, opening the door again.

Janis follows in confusion. "What are you scheming?"

"Just trust me," Cady says, beginning to make one of her little nests. Janis hands over more supplies until it's cushy enough for Cady's standards. "There! Now get your cute butt over here and let me love you."

"You think my butt is cute?"

"I think all of you is cute," Cady replies, holding Janis tight against her and wrapping them both in their thickest, warmest blanket. "My little Jellybean."

Janis gives a flustered squeak and hides her face in Cady's chest. Cady laughs and kisses her forehead, bringing a hand up to fiddle with Janis' hair.

"That's nice," Janis mumbles, muffled by Cady's warm skin.

"Don't go to sleep again, we just woke up," Cady murmurs back. Janis groans into her chest.

"Sleepy."

"You're always sleepy," Cady giggles. "I know how to wake you up."

"Oh?" Janis asks interestedly. Maybe it's something nice. Like a morning make out session, those are always fun. Cady holds her hand up and wiggles her fingers ominously. "No."

"I think so," Cady says. Her hand inches towards Janis' neck. Janis squeals and hunches up her shoulders. "I haven't even touched you yet!"

"You're going to," Janis defends. "I'm preparing myself."

"And you think you're not cute," Cady chuckles as she finally makes contact and wriggles her hand all over Janis' ribs. Janis shrieks and tries to wiggle away, but Cady won't let her go. "You have the best laugh."

"Mercy!" Janis begs, laughing hysterically and trying to grab Cady's hand so she'll stop. "I can't breathe!"

"Okay, okay," Cady giggles. "Can't have you dying on me."

"Like this?" Janis says, rolling over to pin Cady beneath her and going limp.

"Yeah," Cady giggles, wrapping herself around Janis and smiling as Janis kisses the side of her neck. "But with significantly more emotional distress on my part."

"Hmm," Janis hums. "I'll try really hard not to."

"Good," Cady says. "I love you."

Janis props herself up on her elbows and bends down to kiss her. Cady reciprocates eagerly, still clinging to Janis like a little sloth and refusing to let her pull away. She gently runs her tongue along the seam of Janis' lips, and angles her head to deepen the kiss when Janis allows her entry.

They lie there like that for a long time, as the wind blows around them and little snowflakes drift down from the sky. They just hold each other, warmed by their love and able to ignore the cold, tasting the spirit of Christmas on each other's lips.

"I love you too," Janis murmurs when they finally break apart. "I love you so much."

"Kiss me again," Cady says. Janis smirks slightly and cups her neck.

"Happily."
