Advent Drabble 20 - Body heat

[earlgreytea68]

Requested by anonymous.

Archer always thought he remembered how cold Euphonia was, and then he returned from a trip to Jadenvale and couldn’t stop uncontrollably shivering, no matter how many logs Bennet had thrown on the fire.

“Come here, my thin-blooded prince consort,” Bennet said, stretching over him in bed and pulling the furs closer around them.

“Shut up,” Archer said, “it’s fucking freezing here, your blood is unnatural.” He pressed his cold toes against Bennet’s shins.

Bennet yelped and said, “What can we do about your freezing toes?”

“Pay attention to other parts of my anatomy,” Archer commanded, “my toes are unimportant.”

It's lovely to hear of these two again! Confession time: sometimes I think about this story, and how you left them under threat of volcanic eruption, and how you never mention this fic when you talk about your writing plans, and I worry about Euphonia exploding and eveybody dying. PLEASE TELL ME THEY'LL BE ALL RIGHT. :D

Awww, I think about them all the time. They're next on my list to address, I promise that they're going to be just fine, I just have to tie it up for them. :-)

...this is going to be me returning to the east coast from California. Also, I love these two A LOT and it was great to see another little window into their lives!
