83.

You and Tom have spent four days at the cabin
Within the four days you've baked cookies because you thought it would be aesthetic but you ended up putting salt instead of sugar in them which you blamed Tom for because at the time he was distracting you so it shocked you both when you bit into the nice smelling cookies excepting them to taste nice and sweet got them to taste salty.
You played a bunch of board games, you got desperate so you also played connect four which resulted in you and Tom arguing because he accused you of cheating when there's no possible way of cheating at that game but he said sorry in the end by making you a bath and then joining you it was giving pretty woman vibes minus the prostitution bit when you commented about it feeling like a scene from the movie
Tom made the comment that he'd still love you if you did sell your body
at least if all goes to shit I can be a hooker and still keep him
You went for a walk up the mountains or as Tom said "it's not a mountain it's a hill you're so dramatic"
but the walk was nice even if you were a bit dramatic because of how knakered and cold you were at the end of it.
You popped down to the nearest town to get more things for the cabin because you and Tom are staying for longer than you planned to stay.
Then out of pure boredom you and Tom decided to move things about in the cabin

Present day
You smile as you wake up in toms arms but then frown as you look at the clock that reads 6am.
Why have I woken up this early
You kiss toms arm before shutting your eyes again and falling back asleep.
You wake up 47 minutes later
You're taking the piss..I'm in a comfortable position I'm tired yet I've woken up twice now..hi body please sort yourself out
You let out a little groan
What's that I can smell..shit is the soup burning..I should check the soup and maybe have a taste since I'm up..
You carefully get out of toms arms
slipping off the bed and into some slippers before making your way down stairs.
"That smells good"
you say as you enter the living room
Last night you and Tom decided to make some soup and let it Cook over night.
You stir the soup a few times before taking a bit on the spoon
"fuck that's hot..but good" you smile at yourself
"we're like little chefs"
something catches your attention out of the corner of your eye..something out of the living room window.
Putting the spoon down you turn around slowly towards the window.
"No way" you squint your eyes to see better
"I must be dreaming because there's no way" you go closer to the window and then pinch yourself
"Holy shit" you whisper.
You turn around and run up stairs to the bedroom.
You straddle toms body and lightly shake him
"Tom" you whisper
No movement
You shake a bit harder
"baby wake up"
His eyes flutter but he doesn't open them
"Thomas" you say a bit louder
Tom groans "don't call me that you sound like my mother and the last thing I want to imagine is her straddling me"
he says with his eyes still closed
"Wake up it's important"
Another groan
Now it's your time to groan
"baby please wake up"
you then kiss and nibble his neck which makes him open his eyes.
"What time is it" he asks
"Seven"
A strangled noise comes out of Tom and you let out a little laugh.
"Darling why are you waking me up this early"
You stop kissing and nibbling his neck and sit up straight on him.
"Are you serious" you blush
"You did kiss and bite my neck while straddling me so there's going to be a reaction" he says with a smirk
You shake your head
"there's no time to be horny because something's happened and it's important and we might be fucked I don't know..I've read books about it and it's one of my favourite tropes but thinking about it now this is not a good thing because I don't want to freeze to death and die I mean it would be a super romantic way to die but still" you ramble
Tom looks at you confused for the 100th time
"What on earth are you talking about"
"We're snowed in"
Tom laughs
"that's actually a good one..okay enough of that let's go back to sleep" he says
"I'm being serious..I couldn't sleep so I went downstairs to check on the soup and that's when I realised we've been snowed in"
"Are you serious?"
You nod "I've literally just said I am"
"Fuck that's not good"
Tom gets out of bed and heads downstairs before coming up the stairs swearing.
"What's wrong" you ask
"We're actually snowed in"
"Well yeah..I did say"
"Darling it's serious..the generator is outside and if that goes out we are screwed because it keeps this place running and I don't have signal on my phone so I can't call anyone,
can't go out because we're trapped in"
"Can't we just open the door and shovel the snow out of the way" you ask
"Darling we're trapped..I tried opening the door and it won't budge"
"You could go out of the window"
"The windows don't open"
"What-"
"I don't know why they don't open and I don't know why anyone would get a place where the windows don't  open"
"You just read my mind..that's creepy"
Tom sighs and sits on the bed, you crawl over to him "hey it's okay there's no need to stress..I'm sure it will melt over night" you say hugging his side
"I hope so because we needed this break the last thing we want is added stress"

Tom lets out a long sigh
"What's wrong"
"The tv isn't working"
You smile because the football is on today and Tom wanted to watch it and you didn't
"Dont even smile" he grumbles
"I'm not"
"Yes you are, this fucks you up too not just me"
"Oooof language"
Tom grumbles "don't start today started off bad and this is adding to it"
You giggle "it's only football"
"Darling I've waited months for this"
"I know and you can watch it on catchup or that sports app whenever you get signal and the tv works"
Tom grumbles
"Here you go" you pass Tom some soup with bread and butter
"Thanks"

The rest of the day Tom has been moping around and occasionally snapping at you so an hour after you both ate you went upstairs to give him space since you didn't want something small to cause an argument.
You sat on the windowsill watching the snow fall and the occasional bird fly off the trees it looked peaceful out there.
A knock snapped you out of your little bubble followed by Tom walking into the bedroom
"Hey"
"Hi" you reply looking back outside
"I want to apologise for snapping at you and acting like I've got a stick up my arse..I shouldn't be taking it out of you it's just us being snowed in..the constant worry of when and if the generator will stop working and then the tv not working and having no signal it just got a bit much so I'm sorry" he says as he  comes closer to you
You give him a little smile "it's okay..I came up here to give you some space because I didn't want us to argue"
"I thought you was in a mood with me..I was prepared to grovel"
You let out a little laugh
"Has the tv came back on"
Tom shakes his head "nope"
"Got signal?"
"Nope..you?"
You shake your head "no"
You sigh "why do we have such shit luck" you say standing up and wrapping your arms around toms waist.
Tom puts his arms around you slightly pulling you closer to him.
"I don't know darling..I don't know"
"We're doing great"
Tom chuckles "we are indeed"
For a while you and Tom just Stand there in silence hugging each other and then the power goes out and both of you freeze.
Oh no

Next chapter would normally be out on Sunday but this week I'm going away for a few days so next chapter will be out some point next week (maybe Monday or Tuesday)

While I'm away I'll still be writing next chapter/adding to it bc I've already started it(be proud of me🥲)

Annnnnnd by the looks on it next chapter is going to be quite long so Tis worth the wait

someone asked like months ago about me using "__________" instead of Y/N and I dunno I just find the whole Y/N so 2014 and as someone who speaks Welsh it kinda messes up my brain a bit because we have a word that is literally yn🥴

Anywaaays i shall see you soon🫡
