It was cold today. Probably the coldest day of the year and you could tell. Your fingers had turned numb and your whole body vibrated under the safety of the blanket you had thrown over you in your apartment. You were watching tv but not really paying attention, Alex was supposed to come over soon and you weren't sure if it was the excitement or the cold but you couldn't think of anything else.
You were lost deep into your thoughts about possible future events when there was a knock at your door. "Come in!" You shouted because you were too cold to get up and answer the door.
Alex walked in, wearing a huge puffer jacket. He took it off and had on his own merch hoodie. Typical.
His innocent smile when he caught your eyes took you breath away and again, you were confused whether it was the doing of the weather or Alex, but a shiver ran down your spine, ever so slowly. "How has today been?" You asked.
"Just filmed a podcast with Will and James. I haven't eaten yet though, pretty hungry." His lisp made you smile at his words and you held the blanket closer around you.
"Me either. If you're making something to eat, make something hot; it's freezing." He smiled at you, nodded then proceeded into the apartment, heading into the kitchen.
You could hear the changing of pots and pans which confused you because Alex certainly cannot cook but the faint smell of tomatoes answered your question almost immediately. Soup. Just what you needed to warm you up on this brisk day.
It wasn't long until Alex's nimble figure was walking into the living room languidly, a tray in hand with two bowls of soup and two steaming mugs placed upon it.
"I thought I'd make you tea too, to warm you up a bit." He passed you the tea, the warmth immediately filling your hands and seemingly flowing into your bloodstream and warming your whole body.
"Thank you." He sat down at the other end of the sofa and took off his hoodie, leaving him bare chested and wearing just joggers. "Aren't you cold?" You asked, eyes darting from his face to his chest. He noticed and a smirk reached his face.
"No, very warm actually. I could help you warm up a bit if you'd like." You smiled and nodded at him enthusiastically. You knew that there was no sexual intent behind his words and that his smirk was empty. You launched yourself forward, now sitting directly above Alex and you laid on his chest.
You could hear his heart beat, how it sped up when you smoothed you hand over his chest and slowed down when you came to a halt. He put his arm around your waist, his thumb under your shirt and drawing lazy circles on your hips. "Hey look up." And you did, raising your whole upper body. In front of you was Alex's hand holding a spoon loaded with steaming soup.
You opened your mouth like a child and waited for him to put the spoon inside but he never did. Instead you looked at his smug face as he held to spoon tight between his lips before smiling and showing his little fanged teeth.
"Hey!" You complained, grabbing the spoon from him and getting some soup for yourself. He eventually did start feeding you soup, and your body warmed up with every mouthful.
After the soup, you laid in his arms for what could've been hours but felt like minutes. You could hear his faint snores and you turned around to face him.
You couldn't resist it, you pecked his little nose and his eyes slowly fluttered. He smiled at you before pecking you on the lips.
You couldn't resist yourself again and toyed with the strands of hair that fell over his forehead, pushing them back and watching his blue eyes look at you with admiration.
"I love you." He admitted, pulling your head into his neck, embedding his hand into your scalp and slowly played with your hair.
"I love you too." And it was true. How could you not love him? He's perfect. The warmth that he shared with you and his hand playing with your hair lulled you sleep, and you napped together, on the sofa in your apartment. His arms secured around your body, safe in your thoughts and his arms. Safe from the cold and surrounded by love.
