Snowed In

Day One

The door to Aeris' apartment swung open abruptly, and a bulky figure trudged in along with the frigid air, sending shivers up her spine. The figure itself appeared to be covered in cloth, with several strips descending from its neck. Aeris' eyes widened slightly as the creature groaned and ambled toward her. She quickly scrambled backward, falling off her chair and quickly shifting backward, pressing her back against the wall. Her eyes widened further and her face took to that of pure horror as the thing closed in on her. Obviously noticing she was afraid, the mass let out a worried groan and waved its arms back and forth in front of its chest before turning around and pointing its finger toward a knot at the back of its head. Reluctantly she stood up and grabbed the strip holding the knot. Pulling it and feeling the knot loosen, she clenched her eyes shut, expecting to see a gruesome creature before her. Cracking an eye open, all she saw was the head of…

Leo.

Opening her eyes, she gave her roommate a strong backhand before settling back at her computer.

"Ow, Aeris! The fuck was that for?" "for scaring the living crap out of me, Leo."

Sliding the rest of the heavy winter gear off, he spoke up. "Well, it's not my fault it's at Sub-Zero temperatures out there!" "Speaking of which, close the door please. Snow is starting to get in the house."

Quickly obliging her, he took the seat next to her and set a large crate on the counter. "besides, the only reason I went out was to pick up all this for you. What the hell do you need all this stuff for, anyway? Extra food, Water, and all this alcohol. And especially this." He dangled a small bag filled with a finely ground green substance. He stashed it away with other bags just like it in a drawer next to the sink. "just extra supplies, Leo. In case we get snowed in." "But more catnip? Seriously, we already have like, forty pounds!" "fine, if you don't want any, just more for me."

"Point taken. Besides, I also got you… These!" in his hand, he held several new video games.

"Oh my god, Leo, how did you get these? Final fantasy fourteen isn't even out yet!" "Let's just say I have an old friend who works at square enix. Besides, it was for someone special." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek before heading to the shower. Blushing lightly, she set the new games next to their consoles. She honestly loved that man. Slipping out of her day clothes, she tossed them in the laundry before slipping on her pink pajamas before settling into their shared bed. Her room had been forsaken because they always ended up sleeping in the same bed. Whether it was because of a nightmare, or thunder or she was just lonely or cold, they always slept in the same bed. Compromising with Leo was not easy, but it worked out. The room still remained its deep blue, with the pink skull overlay that usually resided in her room. The softness of the pink against the sharp edge of the blue gave the room a calming feeling. Grabbing her PsP, she awaited Leos return from the shower.

Letting the hot streams of water cascade down his being, Leo felt his stiff muscles slowly relaxing from the days stress. Whoever said that cats hated water had obviously not met this one. Rubbing out one of his knots, Leo lamented on his relationship with the pink haired cat he lived with. Aeris was one of the most violent, and most caring, people he had ever met. And she herself, he really hit the jackpot with her. Out of all the possible roommates, he ended up with the most beautiful cat a man could dream for. And that fur pattern, dear god, she was lucky. Not to mention the hourglass shape of her body…

He let out a groan. He had to stop thinking about Aeris, no matter how sexy she was. He was starting to get hard, and if that wasn't gone by the time he was out of the shower, he and Aeris were going to have major implications, and then neither of them would get a good nights sleep. Quickly drying and de-frizzing himself, he leisurely made his way back to their bedroom. Knocking on the door, he noticed that the door simply pushed open. Inside, he found Aeris fast asleep with her PsP in her hands. Quickly flicking the power switch, he set it on the bedside table before crawling in next to her. She curled up into his chest as they both drifted off to sleep.
