This is a random collection of ideas I've wanted use but were to short or random to fit into a chapter so I'm compiling them all here to make a bunch of mini oneshots
<><><>Do it yourself<><><>
The sun outside had long since gone down even though it was only six. Dinner had been cleaned up; work had been finished for the day, all the days responsibilities forgotten. Taylor and Travis had both decided to end their day with a movie and Travis had convinced her to watch BASEketball.
"Tay!" Travis yelled from the couch.
"Coming, coming," Taylor called back, the sound of her footsteps coming closer.
"Not yet you aren't," He mumbled under his breath.
"Did you say something?" Taylor asked walking into the room plopping down on the couch next to him.
Travis shook his head already reaching to start the movie. "Nope."
The movie started and the two got comfortable with Taylor curling into Travis's side tucked under his arm. "Trav," Taylor spoke up a few minutes into the movie. "Can you please pass the popcorn?" She asked giving him her best puppy eyes.
Travis raised his brow at her his eyes flicking over to the popcorn bowl which sat right in front of them. "You can get it yourself."
With a pout Taylor leaned forward grabbing the bowl off the coffee table before leaning back into Travis's chest. She dug around in the bowl pulling out a few pieces which she unceremoniously shoved in her mouth tilting the bowl towards Travis to let him grab a handful.
They stayed relatively quiet with Travis laughing at multiple different scenes. "Can I have the blanket?" Taylor asked pointing to the blanked draped on couch behind him, feeling goosebumps beginning to pop up on her skin.
"Yeah, go ahead and grab it." Travis replied shortly, leaning forward so she could grab it.
Taylor shot him a confused look but complied leaning over to tug the blanket off the couch. She draped the blanket over her legs wincing as a particularly loud scene came on. "Would you mind turning down the volume."
"Sure, grab the remote." Travis said once again, his eye's not looking away from the screen.
She looked over at the remote which was sat right next to him. "Can you pass it to me?"
"Do it yourself."
She opened her mouth to say something before a look of realization came over her. "Is this because you caught me masturbating earlier today?"
"While I was home!" Travis yelled dramatically finally looking away from the tv making Taylor burst out laughing.

"Taylor." Travis's voice cut through the air making Taylor pause mid step. "What's in the box?" He gave her an expectant look.
"What box?" Taylor asked tilting her head innocently.
Travis's eyes drifted to her arms which were failing to conceal the bright red box behind her. "I thought we agreed we were waiting until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas." He crossed his arms across his chest.
"Agreed is such a loose term." Taylor laughed nervously trying to inch away.
Before she could react, Travis grabbed the box from her opening the lid revealing a collection of garlands and ribbons. "These aren't very turkey shaped Tay." He lifted the box out of her reach when she tried snatching it back. "Nu uh these are going into a safe place until the mashed potatoes have had their time to shine." He placed a hand on her shoulder guiding her out of the room the box tucked safely under his arm.
