Winter Lovers Spooned in Covers
They're snuggled together inside the folds of a futon.
It's a tight fit but they make it work, their bodies spooned together in an intimate embrace.
Beneath the covers, Yuuki's slender hands encircle Zero's larger, bonier ones with gentle warmth.
The muscles inside the hunter's hands sometimes twitch and uncurl in a natural state of sleep, and sometime during the night one of them skims lightly over Yuuki's small, rounded belly.
In five months they'll be the proud parents of a baby girl.
They're not quite sure how things worked out the way they did, but nevertheless they're happy to welcome the new addition.
The bitter chill of winter slightly rouses Zero, his moonlight irises glowing in the shadowed moonlight as they unfold.
The hunter glances down at his wife and swipes a stay hair from her face, all his thoughts warmed as he stares at the beauty beside him.
Yuuki shudders lightly, her toes curling when they slip outside the warmth of the futon.
Zero extends his arm to ease on the bedside heater and curls Yuuki onto his chest, lulling her closer towards the gently emitted warmth.
The heat quickly returns Zero to slumber, his large frame set around Yuuki like a barrier against the wind, but not before he can whisper, "Ai shite."
