♘ : Cuddling in a blanket fort

@jakeeinsteins

As she finished tucking the last blanket into place, Rita leaned back and looked over the dark fort, admiring her handiwork. A nice, dark, quiet place for her and Jake to sit. “One more thing,” she remembered, climbing out of the fort quickly, going to one of the many junk drawers around the house, pulling out a handful of glow sticks, cracking them and shaking them like crazy before she got back to the blanket fort. She crawled back in, laying the faintly glowing sticks around. “Kinda like our own sensory room,” Rita looked over to Jake. He wasn’t looking at her. “Kinda,” she said again. She was impressed with herself, being able to build a good enough fort around him without disturbing him too much. He had his headphones on. She sat down next to him. “Better, right?” she asked quietly, but loud enough for him to hear her with the headphones. Rita wrapper her arms around him under his arms, squeezing him tight, but not too tight. “Just let me know if you need more or less pressure, okay?”
