Originally written for the 2016 Graylu Fluff Fest. I never got around to posting it and figured that I should put it up anyways because I've been pretty inactive here. Just my regular one-shot of fluff.


under the blankets...

Magnolia almost never experienced weather this extreme. The snowstorm outside was keeping the blonde stuck inside her apartment instead of with her team. But she soon realized that it wasn't a bad thing to be away from them once in awhile, so she enjoyed the time she had to herself.

Lucy set her cup of tea down on the side table next to her bed. She pulled the covers up even higher and closed her eyes. The three thick blankets on top of her did a wonderful job of keeping her warm, and she didn't want to leave anytime soon.

Before she could fall asleep, Lucy heard a loud knock at her door. She sat up immediately and turned her head to face the door. Who would leave their own home and go through the snowstorm to visit her?

Lucy pulled the covers up and rushed to the door. She opened the door just so she could stick her head out, and was surprised to see her boyfriend standing there.

"Gray? What are you doing here? How did you even get here? Are you okay? Are you-"

Gray interrupted her by clearing his throat. "I'd love to answer all of your questions, but can I please do that inside?"

Lucy nodded and opened the door to let him in. Gray came in and took off his coat. He hung it on the coat hanger and sat down on the couch.

"Do you want something to drink?" she asked. Gray shook his head and was running his fingers through his hair, trying to get the snow out of it.

"So...why are you here? And how did you even get here?" she asked as she sat down on her bed.

Gray smiled and stood up, walking towards her. "Lucy, did you forget that I grew up in the snow mountains? Ur trained us outside, snowstorms don't bother me. And I just wanted to see you," he explained.

Lucy blushed and moved over so he could sit down. Once he made himself comfy on the bed, she put her head on his shoulder. "I was enjoying my alone time, but I guess it's okay if you stay," she said jokingly.

Gray wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up. "What are you doing?" she asked.

Gray didn't respond and kicked off his shoes. He pulled the blankets up and crawled under them, patting the spot next to him. "Join me," he said.

Lucy smiled and laid down next to him. Once he wrapped his arms and the blanket around her, he pulled her close and she tucked her head under his chin.

The couple laid under the blankets for an hour. Lucy fell asleep a couple of minutes after they got settled under the sheets, but Gray stayed awake and stroked her hair and back.

He was looking down at her and felt her start to move. Lucy turned so she was laying on her back and smiled at him. "Hey," she whispered.

Gray kissed her nose and whispered, "Hey."

"How long was I asleep?" she asked. Her hands moved up his cheek and she started to leave soft kisses on his neck.

"About an hour," he said and his hands moved down to the small of her back.

"It was nice," she said as she laid her head on his chest. "Thanks for coming over. Can you stay over tonight?"

Gray smiled hugged her tightly. "Of course."
