☆"Babe, I'm Cold"☆

Jake woke up in the middle of the night. Shivering. He rubs his arms and turned his head. Looking at his boyfriend Carrington in the bed. "Babe," he whispered. Shaking him awake. "Babe,"

Carrington stirred in his sleep, his eyes fluttering open as he was gently shaken awake.

He blinked a few times, still half asleep, and turned to look at Jake."Mmm...what is it, love?" he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep.

"Babe I'm cold," Jake replied. Shivering and his teeth were clattering because it was so cold inside of the room. "You're hogging the blankets and it's cold and the heater isn't on. I'm freezing."

Carrington's eyes widened slightly as he realized just how cold it was in the room. He quickly let go of the blankets and sat up, wrapping his arms around Jake to try and warm him up.

"Sorry, love," he mumbled, pulling Jake closer. "I didn't realize it was this cold. Here, let me warm you up."

Jake swatted Carrington's hand and huffed. "Go turn the heater on!" He exclaimed, clearly grumpy from being cold and tired.

Carrington chuckled softly at Jake's grumpy demeanor, amused by his attitude. He knew his boyfriend was a bit of a diva when he was tired.

"Alright, alright," he said, getting out of bed and grabbing his shirt off the floor. "I'll go turn on the heater. You stay here and warm up, princess."

Jake snickered. Laying back down and snuggling up with all the blankets. "Can you get more blankets too? Oh! Is my weighted blanket done in the dryer also?"

Carrington rolled his eyes playfully at Jake's demands, but he couldn't help but smile at how cute he was when he was being needy.

"Yeah Jake, I'll get more blankets and your weighted blanket," he said, pulling on his shirt. "Just don't get too comfy without me."

"Mm, you're cute." Jake giggles. Rubbing an eye, "Hurry up!" As he lightly pushed Carrington out of bed. "And take your shirt off when you come back," he winked before laughing.

Carrington chuckled and stumbled out of bed, nearly tripping over his own feet.
"Bossy, aren't we?" he teased, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'll get the blankets and my shirt off, don't worry. Can't keep the princess waiting, can I?"

Jake snickered again, shaking his head. "Nope" he replied. Watching as Carrington left the room to get blankets from the closet and the weighted blanket from the dryer and then turn the heater on lastly.

Carrington returned a few minutes later, his arms loaded with blankets. He walked back over to the bed and dropped the pile of blankets on top of Jake.

"Your royal weighted blanket, princess," he said, giving a dramatic bow before pulling his shirt off and tossing it onto the floor.

Jake couldn't help but cackle in laughter, his genuine laugh showing up as he is grinning wide and laughing his head off.

Carrington smiled at the sound of Jake's laughter, his heart warming at the sight of his boyfriend's joyful expression. He loved seeing him laugh like this, so carefree and happy.

He climbed back into bed and wrapped his arms around Jake, pulling him close and burying his face in his hair.

Jake smiled warmly as he looked up at Carrington. "Thank you" as he pulled all the blankets up. "Now how many layers are here? And what did you put the temp of the heater at? Cuz you know I don't like it way too hot or way too cold cuz you know i get overwhelmed by temperature easily cuz its annoying"

Carrington chuckled and held up his hands, counting the layers of blankets that covered Jake.

"Looks like there's four layers of blankets here," he said, wrapping his arms around Jake and pulling him close again. "And I set the heater to 72°F. Is that good enough for you?"

"Mm, turn the heater down to about 68°F" Jake snickered. Pointing to the door. "Onward!"

Carrington chuckled and rolled his eyes, a playful smile on his face.

"Of course, your majesty," he said, reluctantly letting go of Jake and getting out of bed again. "I'll go adjust the thermostat to your highness's liking."

Jake laughed again and shakes his head. "Fuckin' dork." As he watched Carrington leave the room for a moment before coming back in.

Carrington returned a few moments later, grinning as he got back into bed with Jake.
"I'm a dork for you," he said, wrapping his arms around Jake once again and pulling him close. "You love it, though."

Jake snuggles to Carrington. Drawing imaginary shapes on his barechest. "I'm sorry for waking you I just got so cold.."

Carrington smiled softly as he felt Jake drawing shapes on his chest, his touch sending a shiver down his spine.

"It's okay, love," he said, gently running his fingers through Jake's hair. "I understand. You were cold and I was hogging the blankets. It's not your fault."

"Wasn't just that. The entire room is cold. The entire house. Was cold. Like- we had the AC on all day cuz it was a bit warm but now its freezing." Jake replied.

Carrington frowned slightly as he listened to Jake's explanation. He hadn't realized just how cold the room had been until Jake had mentioned it.

"I didn't notice the temperature until you mentioned it," he said, his arms tightening around Jake. "We must've had the AC on too low. But don't worry, we'll warm up soon."

Jake nodded. Snuggling into all the blankets. His hair a mess across Carrington's chest. He smiled as he rubs his feet together underneath the blanket.

Carrington chuckled softly as he watched Jake snuggle into the blankets and rub his feet together. He found it endearing how much his boyfriend liked being wrapped up in layers of blankets and being cozy.

He ran his fingers through Jake's messy hair, gently massaging his scalp with his fingertips.

Jake melts to the touch. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes. "So how was your day?, i know its kinda late to ask this since its the middle of the night and the day was technically yesterday and today is today and yesterday was today if that makes sense" he snickers.

Carrington chuckled at Jake's rambling, amused by his sleepy, nonsensical words.
"It was a long day," he replied, his fingers still gently massaging Jake's scalp. "I had a photoshoot and a meeting with my agent. But now that I'm with you, it's the perfect end to a long day."

Jake's eyes began to close. "That's nice babe. I streamed today and filmed with Johnnie"

Carrington smiled as he noticed Jake's eyes starting to close, his voice getting softer and more sleepy.

"Sounds like you had a productive day," he said, his hand moving from Jake's hair to gently rub his back. "You must be tired."

Jake hums sleepily in reply. His breathing getting softer as he is starting to fall asleep

Carrington continued to rub Jake's back, his movements slow and gentle. He could tell that his boyfriend was getting sleepier by the second, his body relaxing against his own

He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on the top of Jake's head, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Go to sleep, love. I'll be here when you wake up."

Jake falls asleep. Soon after Carrington does too.

Finally feeling warm and not cold anymore.
