Prompt: AU. Winter at the Motor Inn. Carley and Lee are in a room together, struggling to get warm.

Lee walked into the room, shutting the door immediately. He did this so that no cold air could get in.
Kenny was right when he claimed that they would freeze their asses off in the winter at this place. It was just horrible, and everyone could agree on that. He felt bad for Ben, who was outside on watch right now.
"Lee?"
Lee turned to see Carley sitting on the bed, hugging her legs to her chest. He smiled a big wide cheesy smile.
"Oh hey." He said casually. He was trying all he could to keep warm, but he was highly unsuccessful.
"It's fucking freezing." Carley commented.
"I hear ya." Lee replied. "I feel bad for Ben."
"I know. Poor kid." Carley said.
"I think he's trying to impress Lilly, you know, to get her to think he's tough shit. I totally understand where he's coming from, Lilly can be a scary bitch sometimes." Lee said, and Carley laughed.
"Yeah, she's like the devil sometimes." Carley said.
Lee chuckled.
"So where's Clementine?" Carley asked.
"She's in Ken and Katjaa's room, playing with Duck." Lee told her.
"Oooh. They're so cute. You think they have little crushes on each other? It's obvious they they do."
"Maybe." Lee laughed. "They tease each other a lot. Clem puts bugs on Duck's pillow, he pulls her hair, you know, kid stuff."
"They like each other."
"Yeah, I think they do."
After that, they sat in silence for a few moments, shivering.
"It's still so cold in here." Carley said, hugging herself.
"I know." Lee said.
Carley looked over at Lee, an idea in her eyes. "You know what they say..." She said.
"What?" He asked.
"About how to keep warm. How the Eskimos or whoever the fuck did it."
"Did what?"
"Huddled close together for warmth..." She was blushing as she said this.
Lee looked over at her. Was she actually asking to cuddle with him? Wow. He felt his face heat up. He stared for a few seconds, before finally giving in.
"What the hell." He said, pulling her in and holding her close. She giggled and rested her head against his chest.
"Feeling any warmer?" She asked, smiling. She was liking this, same as him.
"Hell yeah." He said.
He smiled. This was going to be fun, to say the least. He just hoped to his that nobody would walk in on them and ruin the moment.
