Minutiae

Yesterdays

Why did it have to be raining? She pulled the blankets more closely around her, wriggling into Lindsey's body heat and smiling as he emitted a soft "oomph" as she accidentally jabbed him in the stomach with a knee as she curled up.

"Sorry," she murmured into his bare chest. The idiot didn't seem to feel the cold at all, never had. Frankly, it drove her mad. The curtains were drawn, their bedroom almost pitch-black as they cuddled together on their mattress. She'd ventured outside earlier in the day, and had been shivering and drenched within seconds. Lindsey had wrapped a huge, fluffy towel around her and they'd taken a hot shower to help her. Such a sacrifice...

"I like the rain," he said, running a large hand down her arms, rubbing her to warm her up more.

"You're mad."

Laughing, he kissed the top of her head, and wrapped his arms fully around her, pulling her against him. Wedging a leg between his, she nuzzled into the blankets, one eye poking out so she could still see her boyfriend. His hair was so long now and if her hands hadn't been so cold she wouldn't reached out to play with it. He always closed his eyes when she did that, his back arching slightly like a cat as he reacted to her touch.

"Lindsey, do you think the rain'll stop soon?"

"Unlikely," he whispered. "I don't mind though. Gives me an excuse to stay in bed with you."

"Like you need an excuse for that," Stevie laughed, nudging him affectionately, and tilting her head up to kiss his soft lips. He really was beautiful. His eyes promised her the world, and she pressed her cold hands against his chest. "I guess we should try and keep warm somehow," she continued, trailing her fingers down to the waistband of his jeans.
