Ok, so Elliot is a bit of a forgotten character so I decided to give him the spotlight for this one. I'm sorry, but he's just too cute not to write about! Enjoy!

"hey, y/n? Can I ask you a favour?"

"Sure, Nestor, what is it?"

"Elliot has gotten a bit cold again, so he work. You mind coming over with a blanket?"

"There are no blankets at yours?"

"Nope."

"Fine, I'm only doing it for him though." You hung up. Elliot always got cold these days, because of a condition of his, so you were always there to help at any given time. Sometimes, though, you felt as if Elliot was doing this on purpose, just so you could come around and warm him up a bit. But, even with that thought, you didn't mind. If you were honest, you kind of liked Elliot. I mean, what's not to love about him? He's smart, tall, handsome... You're going off topic-

You grabbed a blanket and your coat and went out the door. Winter had finally come, so there was a slight chill in the air. A breath of air cascaded in front of your face, as you breathed out, dazzled by the falling snowflakes. Oh, if only Elliot could go outside in this weather with you, it'd be a dream... Sipping cocoa in the park or ice skating with him. But, also, even with his condition, you could do things indoors, like drinking cocoa near the fire, or making something nice with him.

All the while you were fantasising about the wonders of winter and romance, you came to your senses at his house. 'Elliot Programming' it read of the front. A phrase you had read many times.

Knock knock knock

The door opened, revealing Nestor holding a cup of steaming tea.

"Ah, y/n! Thanks for coming, come in out of the cold." You scrambled in, as he pushed the door shut. You climbed upstairs to see Elliot shaking violently. Poor guy, his condition is at its peak in the winter. You draped the blanket over his shoulders, making him jump and look up. He met your gaze before blushing and smiling.

"Y/n! What would I ever do without you?"

"A lot more, that's for sure." You sat down beside him, staring at his latest project.

"Y/n, I'm sorry if this is a bit sudden, but... Even on the coldest days, whenever you visit me, I always have this warmth in my heart. Like your my blanket. Its comforting to know that you're around, but whenever you're gone, my heart aches for you."

"Elliot..."

"Y/n... I love you." He placed his arm around you, covering you with the blanket so that you and him were in the same space. So, in return, you hugged him gently. This was better than any winter outside. This is, no doubt, the best winter you have ever known.
