Newt Imagine for Cheer_girl2019

Liv rolled over and her sleepy smile slipped into a frown of confusion as she found Newts side of the bed empty, the sheets growing rapidly colder in the winter air. It took a moment for her groggy mind to fully comprehend the absence. It was a Saturday morning; there was no reason for Newt to not be right here for Liv to snuggle with right now.

"Nnneeewwwttttt," Liv called in the general direction of the living room, to no response.

After a few minutes and a few more calls, Liv heard a click in the lock and the apartment door close, followed by a stomping of boots on the doormat. She sat up in bed to see Newt entering the bedroom, still wearing his jacket, cheeks and face bright red and thoroughly covered in a layer of frost.

"Oh, you're up?" Newt said with a tone of surprise as he carefully slide his jacket off and hooked it behind the door. "I thought I'd be back before you got up."

"Wait, it's snowing?" Liv said, brow furrowed.

Newt laughed. "Yes, it snowed six or so inches over the night. Still coming down a bit."

"But what were you doing out in it, then?" Liv asked, mind still muddled by sleep.

"Well, I figured people would need to get out, and I didn't want Alby shoveling the parking lot all by himself..." Newt trailed off, sheepishly scratching the back of his head. His hair was starting to stick to his forehead and neck as the snow dried.

Liv gave a sigh, smiling. "You're a much kinder human than I am." Newts face flushed, but not from the wind and snow, as he floundered for a response. Liv's smile broadened and she gave a small laugh. "Well, don't just stand there turning into an ice cube. Come back into bed to warm up."

Newt was more than happy to oblige. He slipped back into bed and Liv's arms with a contented hum.

"Considering I was the one in below freezing temperatures, your feet sure are cold," Newt murmured into Liv's neck.

"I can't help my poor circulation. And your nose isn't exactly warm," Liv laughed again, sliding down to give the aforementioned nose a kiss before Newt burrowed it back into the crook between Liv's neck and shoulder, where he gave a kiss in return.

Liv giggled. "Hey, that tickles!"

"Is that a subtle hint telling me to shave?" Newt said with a smirk into her skin.

Liv curled himself tighter around the cold man and kissed the wet curls on the nape of Newts neck. "Mm, no. I love your scruff."

"Beard?"

"...Pushing it."

Newt laughed.

"But above all, I love you." Liv murmured. Her face was as red as Newts when Newt turned to look at her.

Newt slipped his hand into Liv's and cupped her face with the other. He brought their faces together, pressing their lips together softly before resting his brow against hers. "As I love you," he whispered back.

The two then slipped back to sleep: Newts cold nose in Liv's neck, Liv's cold toes pressing into Newt's calves, and each warmed in turn by the other as snow continued to fall gently outside.
