Cuddle Bug
Warnings: None — just cozy cuddles and a lot of warmth
WC: 912
The rain hadn’t stopped all morning.
It tapped gently on the windows like a background lullaby, the sky outside painted in soft grays and gold-tinted leaves fluttering with every gust of wind. The house was quiet, dimmed by the weather, filled only with the smell of warm popcorn and the low hum of a movie playing in the background.
Chris shifted beside you on the bed, tugging the thick blanket higher up around your shoulders. “You warm enough?” he asked, his voice low and soft.
“Yeah,” you said, your head resting against his chest. “You’re like a space heater.”
Chris chuckled. “A human blanket and a space heater? I'm racking up titles today.”
You tilted your head up and caught his grin, sleepy and easy, like he hadn’t moved much all day. His hair was flopped down over his forehead, cozy hoodie bunched up around his shoulders, and a half-finished mug of hot chocolate sat forgotten on the nightstand.
Outside, the rain picked up a little, pattering louder against the glass.
“This is the best kind of day,” you murmured.
Chris nodded. “One hundred percent. No plans. Just you, movies, and maybe like… six more snacks.”
You laughed, reaching for the popcorn bowl between you. “We already had three different kinds of chips.”
“And I regret none of them,” he said proudly, then shifted a little to tuck you tighter under his arm. His fingers found yours under the blanket, and he laced them together without a word.
The movie, something cheesy and nostalgic, played on, but neither of you were really watching. It was more about the moment. The quiet. The safety.
Chris leaned his head against yours. “You ever have days where you just feel… really lucky?”
You blinked up at him. “Yeah. This is one of them.”
He smiled softly, his thumb brushing along the back of your hand. “Same. You make everything feel so— I don’t know, easy. Good.”
Your chest warmed more than it already was. “That’s kind of the goal.”
He paused for a second, his eyes gentle as they searched your face. “You're kind of everything I need right now.”
That made your heart flip. Not in a dramatic, movie-scene way, but in a quiet, real way. The kind that sticks.
You nudged his side. “You’re everything I need too. Especially on rainy days when I’d rather melt into the couch than be a person.”
Chris laughed. “Melting into the bed is the best plan we’ve ever had.”
“You say that like it’s a rare plan.”
“Okay, fair.”
The two of you settled even deeper into the mattress, your body pressed to his, legs tangled under the blanket, the low flicker of the TV casting a soft glow around the room. Rain kept falling outside, steady and constant, like a lullaby written just for the two of you.
Eventually, the movie credits rolled, and Chris tilted his head toward you again. “Wanna start another one or take a nap?”
You raised a brow. “Nap during a movie or nap instead of a movie?”
“Bold of you to assume there's a difference.”
You smiled. “Movie nap it is.”
He reached for the remote, queuing up something equally warm and pointless, then tossed it aside and let his arm wrap fully around you again. You nestled closer, cheek against his chest, heartbeat calm and quiet in the safest place you knew.
Chris pressed a soft kiss to the top of your head. “I could stay like this forever.”
You didn’t even need to answer. Your hand found his under the blanket again, fingers squeezing lightly.
And in that moment, rain falling outside, cozy blanket wrapped around you both, the gentle hum of movie dialogue playing somewhere in the background, it really did feel like forever wouldn’t be long enough.
