Matt Duchene

For @cheylovesmx

Yeah that whole thing of me opening up requests isn't happening until I get all these done... Which will be a while.

Luckily I have lots of free time.

Even though it was the middle of April, there was snow falling outside. The temperature wasn't all that bad, but the wind was bitter cold.

While Matt was out doing an interview, you curled up in a ball by the fire. You were reading your favorite book when it was pulled from your hands.

"Hey I was reading that! You looked up to see him smiling while folding over the corner of a page down to save your place.

"Stop reading and cuddle with me." He whined. Apparently he didn't get enough attention last night.

"I was reading babe. Why don't you let me read?" You started to complain, "Just because season is over doesn't mean you have to constantly be attached to my side." You rolled your eyes. It was sort of cute when he did this but also really annoying.

"But I love you. And you're my wife. You're supposed to do this stuff."

"I'm supposed to love you and that's what I do." He made his way around the chair, falling into your lap. You struggled to breathe, unable to push him off.

"Fine. We can cuddle in front of the fire. But I'm going to make coco first." He got off your lap, helping you to your feet.

The two of you were in the kitchen when Matt started tossing mini marshmallows at you while you were mixing your cup of coco.

"Stop that. The dogs are going to eat them and get sick." He wrapped his arms around your waist, nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck.

"You're being mean."

"You're kind of being annoying."

"Fine. I'll go wait for you by the fire." He moped back out to the fire. You found him sitting on the chair, scrolling through Twitter.

You set your mug down on the coffee table and crawled onto his lap. You swung your legs over the edge, pulling the blanket over the two of you.

He wrapped his arms around you and started whispering things in your ears. He knew it could do one of two things: turn you on or make you laugh.

"Quit that. You're giving me the chills." You pushed his head away from your face.

"The way your entire body tenses up is funny." He held you close, kissing your temple. "I love you."

"I love you too Matty. You're just being a pain right now."

"But you love me so it doesn't matter." He smiled.

"Whatever you want to think babe."
