[Very sorry for the late update! I've been very busy and have had a lot of writer's block, but here it is! It's fluff and a bit of 'Oooh what's gonna happen now?' In the end. Hope you like it!!]

"Stop messing around and actually help me won't you?"

Y/N scolded him with a playful tone. She fought back a smile as he turned around to face her. An innocent smile on his face.

They were outside, on a sunny day. Even if there was no snowstorm, which Y/N was more than grateful for, there was still a hell of a lot of snow that Y/N didn't really want.

This was the sixth time Connor had blatantly slammed his shovel against hers in a playful manner. The first time she thought it was just him being clumsy, dismissed it and continued clearing out the snow that had accumulated on her road and pathway. The second time it started to get her attention, but it was really the third time where she got a bit irked. The fourth time she asked Connor to stop doing that, he apologized, she should've known that he wasn't actually serious with that smile he gave her.

Another hit to the shovel and Y/N knew that he was playing a game.

"What am I doing?" Connor asked innocently, blinking at her and tilting his head.

"You're barging your shovel against mine, it's clear you want attention," Y/N shook her head with a smile. "Can we just focus on removing the snow, please? No need to do that shovel thing."

"Okay," Connor nodded in understanding and raised his shovel to continue digging away. Y/N didn't notice him getting closer until the all familiar 'clank' of metal against metal was heard.

She whipped her head around to face him and placed her hands on her hips. "I thought you said—"

"I'll stop," Connor told her with a reassuring tone. He walked past her, grazing her shoulders with his free hand. Even though she was fully protected from the cold, his touch sent a shiver down her body and she felt a pleased smile perk up on her face in response to that.

She turned to look at him and raised a brow, trying to hide her smile and replaced it with an unimpressed expression.

"You know it's quite cold outside," Connor thought, placing a finger on his lips as he thought about it. "It May not be snowing, but the temperature is still pretty cold."

"Connor," Y/N's unimpressed expression didn't work out as a chuckle left her lips. "You just want to go back inside because you want to cuddle."

"Do you not like cuddling?" Connor asked, genuinely curious. But what really got Y/N was that tilt of the head and the spark of hopefulness in his eyes, hoping she would say yes.

Of course she liked it! In fact she loved it. He gave such good hugs. It filled her with warmth and even more love for him. When she was in his arms, she wanted to freeze and stay there. Stay there forever, enjoying his warm embrace and hearing his heart. Feeling his hands on her. Feeling his kisses on her skin...

Y/N rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. She had to stop herself from imagining that before she got even more red on the face. She looked away and murmured out. "Of course I like cuddling..."

"Sorry?" Connor asked.
"Of course I like cuddling..."

Connor got closer to her and rested his weight on the top of the shovel once he reached a few feet away from her. He tilted his head and looked at her straight in the eyes. "I can't hear you."

What a tease! Y/N wanted to scoff that out, but instead, she shook her head and turned to look at him in the eye. "Of course I like cuddling, you doof."
