It was a cold, winters night and you were home alone. You lived in an apartment with your boyfriend, Leo Valdez. He usually helped in nearby pet shelter, which was slightly unexpected. It was about 41 degrees Fahrenheit and you were freezing. 

You were flipping through channels, in front of the burning fireplace, snuggling under hundreds of blankets, and you were still cold. You were to lazy to turn the heater on, plus only Leo knew how to work it. You wrapped yourself in more blankets as you picked a random movie. Being still very cold, you thought about literally dumping yourself into the fireplace. But you decided to live. Hurry up, Leo. I need the heater, right now, you thought as your teeth chattered. You looked at the clock as saw that is was 11:09 p.m. It got even colder near this time of night and you weren't excited.

"Oh m-my god-ds. Leo hurry y-your scrawny-y butt u-up," you stuttered. Living in New York City during winter was a mistake. Even your puppy (Yup. She's back) was curled up near the fireplace, shivering. 

I swear, I'm gonna kill Valdez once he gets back, you thought.

Ironically, right when you thought that, you heard the door unlock. Your puppy got up and sprint into the entry hall and started yipping. You sighed, as the atmosphere got a little warmer. You saw a pair of hands set the puppy onto your blanket mountain and wrap around your neck. 

"You s-suck for leaving the h-heater off," you said. Leo snorted and said, "How are you not warm under all those blankets? You're even near the fireplace." 

You shrugged and positioned yourself so that the puppy could sleep on your legs. 

Yeah, yeah. Leo was a fire user but he said that he swore to himself that he wouldn't use the fire inside the apartment. Which was stupid since it felt like the Ice Age to you.

Leo leaned his head on your shoulder for a minute then stood up again. He walked around the couch and sat next to you. "Move the blankets," he said. You reluctantly removed them and quietly yelped. Right when you removed the blankets and the cold air hit your skin, Leo scoot right next to you and pulled the blankets back over. You had never felt that warm in your whole life. Although Leo wasn't using fire, you could feel the heat radiating off of him. You sighed and leaned your head on his shoulder. Leo wrapped an arm around you, pulling you closer. The closer you got, the warmer you felt. The puppy got up and lay near the fireplace.

"Is this warm enough," Leo asked. You nodded and snuggled closer, if closer was even possible. Feeling all warm and fuzzy, you naturally fell asleep on Leo's shoulder.

Right when you fell asleep, Leo kissed your forehead and muttered, "Dulces suenos, mi amor.." (Sweet dreams, my love) Then he lay his head on top of yours and fell asleep.

After that cold night, you guys cuddled whenever you could. And nobody complained about the cold ever again.
