Hugs and Warmth💕 (Cliff Burton one shot)

On a rainy day, you feel a little needy and ask Cliff for a hug, leading to a sweet, heartwarming moment wrapped in love.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rain tapped gently against the window, creating a soothing rhythm that filled our cozy living room. The dim light from the table lamp cast a warm glow, making everything feel inviting and snug. I curled up on the couch, a steaming mug of hot cocoa cradled in my hands, the rich aroma of chocolate mingling with the sweet scent of cinnamon candles flickering on the coffee table.

I glanced over at Cliff, who sat at the other end of the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table and a book resting on his lap. He looked so relaxed, lost in the pages, but I felt a flutter of need in my chest. The rain outside made everything feel cozier, yet I longed for a different kind of warmth.

Setting my mug down, I grabbed the thick, soft blanket draped over the back of the couch and wrapped it around myself like a cocoon. With a playful smile, I scooted closer to him, my heart racing with anticipation.

"Cliff," I called softly, my voice taking on a teasing lilt.

He looked up, a grin breaking through his concentration. "Yeah?"

"Do you think... Maybe you could give me a hug?" I asked, batting my eyelashes playfully. "I mean, this blanket is nice, but it's seriously lacking some warmth from my favorite cuddle buddy."

He chuckled, setting the book aside. "Your favorite cuddle buddy, huh? How can I resist that?"

I grinned, my excitement bubbling over as he shifted closer. In one smooth motion, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me tightly against his chest, enveloping us both in the warm blanket. I snuggled in closer, burying my face in his shoulder.

"See? This is much better," I sighed contentedly, closing my eyes.

"Much better," he echoed, and I could feel his heartbeat steady beneath my cheek.

Feeling bold, I squeezed him tighter, wanting to absorb all his warmth. "You know," I said, looking up at him with a playful pout, "I think I'm going to need a hug every day. It's a necessity."

Cliff smiled down at me, his blue eyes sparkling. "Every day? That sounds like quite the commitment."

I nodded, my voice serious yet playful. "Yep! You can call it my daily dose of Cliff hugs. It's for my health, really."

"Now, how could I argue with that?" he teased, leaning down to press a soft kiss on my forehead. "I guess I'll have to take my responsibilities seriously."

With that, I leaned up and planted a quick kiss on his cheek, my lips lingering for just a moment. "And when I'm feeling extra needy, I might just ask for more than one hug."

He chuckled, his expression softening. "Well, how could I resist such an adorable request?" He then placed gentle kisses on my cheeks, one after the other, making me giggle.

"You're so adorable," he said, his voice playful and full of affection. "I don't know how I got so lucky."

I buried my face in his chest, a warm blush creeping up my cheeks. "You make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside," I admitted, squeezing him tightly once more.

"Good," he replied, wrapping his arms around me, holding me close. "That's exactly how it should be."

We settled into a comfortable silence, the rain outside becoming a soothing backdrop to our little world. The closeness felt so perfect, so right, and I could hardly believe how lucky I was to have him by my side.

"I'm really glad you asked for that hug," Cliff said after a moment, his voice soft and sincere.

"Me too," I whispered, tilting my head to meet his gaze, feeling the warmth of his love wash over me. "Can we stay like this forever?"

"Absolutely," he promised, his voice filled with warmth. "Just you, me, and all the hugs we can manage."

With that, we snuggled deeper into the blanket, the world outside fading away as we found solace in each other's arms. The rain continued to fall, but inside, we were wrapped in warmth-both from the blanket and the love we shared.
