Chapter Text
"It's your turn to leave the couch," Curly brown hair burrows further under heavy blankets.
"No way, I reached over to get the remote," pale skin squirms deeper into the couch making no moves to leave it.
"That doesn't count!" Costia pokes at Clarke's ribs, tucking her legs up further and then sticking her cold toes on the blonde's thighs.
"Oh my god!!! Why?!!" Clarke jerks away, flinching when this causes her body to shift into a colder portion of the couch and blankets. "Why are your toes so cold??" She shuffles back into her warm spot, this meaning Costia can stick her cold toes on her again.
"I don't know... you should get a hot water bottle while you're up though."
"I am not leaving from under these covers, it's your turn." Clarke tries to nudge the cold toes away, while curling herself tighter.
"I got up last time to bring the snacks, you literally just stuck an arm out to grab the remote from the coffee table," Costia wiggles her toes into Clarke further, only peeking her face out of the covers because ok that was a bit too warm.
Clarke follows suit, blue eyes seeking out copper. "Yeah but I also had to lean and a cold chill traveled into my warm pocket so it counts."
"That's no where near the same as leaving our warm cocoon for the frigid land that is our living room and kitchen. Who decided we should move into a place with hardwood and tile?! Who!" Costia shuffles around in her cocción so her legs are crossed, toes tucked into her knees.
"Uhhhh you did... well we all did but you were adamant we find a place without carpet because it was a bitch to clean and I was getting tired of always being zapped on the lips thanks to static electricity... I mean I get kisses can be electrifying but that wasn't fun." Clarke smiles at her own joke, earning a groan and smile from Costia their battle momentarily forgotten.
"You're lucky you're cute Clarke," Tia leans over, resting her head on Clarke's shoulder and the two lapse into silence watching the movie on tv again. They last maybe 5 minutes and then...
"So... when are you getting the hot chocolate?"
"Clarke I swear I will push you off this couch."
Before the two can resume their childish bickering, the front door opens and both heads swivel over to look.
Lexa steps into the threshold, a cold draft following her in as she quickly turns to close the door against the frost outside. She immediately starts shaking off snow and shedding a few layers of clothes, mainly her coat and gloves as she stops her boots to get more snow off. As chic of an image that bundled up Lexa cut, the two pairs of eyes from the couch were train on what Lexa was balancing on her hand. One set of hands held a white plastic bag but the other... the other held a cup holder with what they assumed was hot drinks. A good assumption as they were disposable coffee cups.
Lexa takes a few steps into the kitchen having shaken off enough snow, setting the plastic bag and drinks down. "Fuck it is fucking cold out there." The brunette mutters to herself as she shrugs off one more jacket and opens up her Ravenclaw scarf letting it drape over her shoulders. She then reaches down and starts undoing her boots to leave them by the door.
By this point, Clarke and Costia know they should get up and go greet their lover... but it's cold. Costia has the thought of grabbing a blanket for Lexa while Clarke thinks about going into the room to get Lexa's slippers... but it's cold.
Finally, Lexa gets her boots off and swipes her beanie off, letting out a relieved sigh. She looks up and notices her two girlfriends, an easy smile parting her lips. "Hey... I'm home!"
And there's a pause... and then "Leeeeexxaaaaa," from Clarke followed up with "It's cooooooold" from Costia. Both of them pout at the new arrival, causing Lexa to laugh.
"No really? I thought the snow was just for show," she smiles wider when her seated lovers glare at her, still pouring which was adorable. "Well lucky for you guys, I actually love you both so I brought you two a treat.... not sure if you guys deserve a treat though because I haven't gotten a single hello kiss or hug."
Before Lexa is even done with her sentence, both Clarke and Costia are up and shuffling toward Lexa with their blankets wrapped tightly around them.
Clarke reaches Lexa first having been closer, awkwardly leaning up and in for a kiss then letting out a muffled squeal as Lexa's cold nose and lips make contact. "Leeeeex you're cold!"
"So then warm me up, princess," Lexa purposely burrows her face into Clarke's neck, causing the blonde to shiver and whine but she doesn't move letting Lexa warm up a bit.
Costia reaches them and then buries her face into Lexa's neck which isn't as cold as her face thanks to the scarf and plants a kiss and bite on the other brunette's neck. "Welcome home love... here your slippers." Costia kicks off the slippers she had been wearing, which were Lexa's. "I was just warming them up for you..."
"You know your toes are probably cold cuz you're not wearing socks.." Clarke looks at Costia and then squeals when Costia moves one of Lexa's hands to cup the back of Clarke's neck, totally worth exposing herself to the cold.
"Maybe you shouldn't be so smug all the time," Costia retorts.
"Girls, behave or else no one gets their treat." That quickly shuts Clarke and Costia up and Lexa can't help a wider smile. Her girlfriends were pretty cute for brats. She steps into her slippers then reaches up to run her now slightly warmer face. "Anyways, I brought Thai for lunch, and a special treat I heard you two wanted..."
.... there was no way... she couldn't have known what they were bickering about earlier... could she?
"I got some hot chocolate from Lincoln and Octavia's cafe... with little marshmallows and a nice warm croissant each... well they were warm who knows with this weather."
Lexa could say no more as she was suddenly wrapped up in blankets and arms, Costia and Clarke ignoring the cold in favor for thanking their girlfriend with kisses and a tight group hug. "Lexa you're the beeeesssttt!!!"
"We don't deserve you! So good!"
Lexa laughs and enjoys the warmth, snaking some cold fingers under shirts and getting whines in return. "Well you guys did work hard recently to nurse me back to health over the summer, it's only fair."
"Awww babe you never have to owe us for that," Costia looks at Lexa seriously, leaning in to collect her hello kiss.
"But wait.. how did you know we wanted hot chocolate?" Clarke cocks her head and looks into green eyes curiously.
"Well someone accidentally dialed me about 10 minutes ago and I was privy to... an interesting discussion about the best ways to drink hot chocolate... what kind was the best... and then an entertaining argument of who's getting said hot chocolate..." Lexa smiles indulgently at her sheepish looking girlfriends.
"Ah well... ...." Clarke looks at Costia at a loss.
Tia simply smiles, taking it all in stride. She wraps her fingers in the blue and silver scarf, tugging Lexa closer by it and then stealing another kiss. "Our hero..."
Clarke smiles and steps up behind Lex, wrapping them both in the blanket and kissing the back of her neck. "Really, too good for us."
Lexa just enjoys the warmth of the kiss and bodies pressing against her. Totally worth an extra 5 minutes in the cold for this.
