OK, so I’m going off a prompt I saw on @writingprompts365: One character playfully hides from another character when they leave the room/area for a moment. And I did a random name generator and got Vas! So here’s some Vasquez fluff for ya! ~B🌾

Character- Vasquez

     It was one of those nights, so cold even the cabin was struggling to keep a warm temp. It was a nice cabin though just poorly insulated. Vas had made numerous trips in and out to fetch wood. I had made many attempts to try and take a turn but he refused and packed the blankets around me. He gave short rebuttals like “ Y/n, it’s too cold, you’ll freeze out there,” or “ I can carry more than you so it would be smarter just for me to go”. He was becoming annoyed, I could tell. 

     Every time he had to shrug his heavy jacket on over his long johns it was becoming more of another chore besides the wood. Luckily he didn’t have to chop any he just had to bring it in, he had stocked up the pile just in case a few days ago. When he saw the fire dying out,  he gave a deep groanish sigh and left the bed again. He mumbled something in Spanish while putting his coats and boots on and then he trudged out the door. I saw it as my opportunity to sneak out of bed and hide out of sight behind the door. Wrapping a blanket around myself I padded my way across the cold dark wood floor, making a mental note that I really needed to sweep in the morning.

      I waited a few minutes until I heard Vas’ big heavy boots dragging across the porch. I heard the slight creak of the doorknob followed by Vas’ frustrated murmurs. “  Hace tanto frío, ¿Por qué hace tanto frío?  Este clima es ridículo…” he still had the door open while he was setting the stack down so I turned and positioned myself so when he closed it I’d be there to surprise him. As he flicked off his boots he closed the door and turned to hang up his coat. “ PEEK-A-BOO!” I giggled out as he stumbled back a little. He over dramatically grabbed his chest, while pretending to be in pain, “ Ah mi corazón! Ay,  I don’t know if I’ll make it mi amor…” he stumbled forward pulling me in by the waist. I could feel how cold he was just from grabbing wood. “ I thought maybe a little spook would warm you up quicker.” I giggled wrapping my arms and the blanket around him. He smiled down at me, kissing my forehead. “ Gracias for the attempt mi pequeño pájaro”. I let him go so I could warm the bed back up while he rebuilt the fire. 

     Once he finished placing the pieces of wood like he was building the world’s hardest puzzle he turned to run back to bed. He stopped a few feet away and smirked at me and before I could ask what he was doing he launched himself onto the bed. Once he found me under the blankets he began tickling me with no mercy. We turned into giggling messes and he said something about payback but I was laughing too hard to fully hear. We came to a rest and he had pinned me down. He was just staring at me, “ Why are you looking at me like that love?” I questioned as I felt heat finally return to my face. “ Eres tan … hermosa, mi amor ” he fondly smiled at me before pressing a quick kiss to my lips. He sunk into the empty space of cot next to me. He pulled me in and held on like I was his only heat source. I turned over to face him and cupped his face. The chill was gone from his skin. I felt so peaceful and warm cuddled close to him. Finally, sleep was able to creep in now that the chill was gone.
