Some time had gone by, and suddenly December had appeared. It was still early December, granted, but the air temperature had dropped by a few degrees, and it had definitely dropped below 0oC. Only bummer was that there hadn't been any snow yet.

Max looked out of Chloe's bedroom window, and gazed upon the cold outside world. People were walking by in coats and thick, furry hats. There was a visible frost layer on the grass. Hell, even some tiny puddles by the road seemed to have frozen solid.

Fortunately, neither Max nor Chloe was out there. They were inside, enjoying the warmth of Chloe's room.

It was the weekend, and as usual, the girls had retreated to either Chloe's or Max's home. This time it was Chloe's. Max was actually fairly happy about this, seeing as there was both more space and more to do over at Chloe's, anyway.

Suddenly, Max heard a shutter sound. The sound of her camera as it took a photo. She turned around to see Chloe pointing the camera at Max, grinning from ear to ear. Max smiled upon seeing this. "What're you doing, hun?" she asked warmly.

"Capturing your cuteness forever. Just in case we get old or something" Chloe replied, still smiling.
"I hope so. But only if we do so together" Max replied, her smile warming up further, causing Chloe's heart to melt a little. "Is there any other way?" Chloe asked as she put down the camera next to her, on the bed. Max started walking towards Chloe, and stopped just in front of her, standing above her. "No" Max simply replied, and leaned down to kiss Chloe gently on the lips. It wasn't a kiss of passion. More like a kiss of warmth, comfort and love. After breaking the short kiss, Chloe's smile was still wide as ever, as she looked up at her love. Max snagged the photograph from the camera, and sat down next to Chloe on the bed.

"Damn. This is actually really good." Max noted, almost taken aback by how well the photo turned out. Chloe definitely had talent.

"Oh, please. This isn't that good. Seriously" Chloe replied, actually sounding a bit sincere. It sounded like she really didn't understand how nice it was. Or what it meant for Max.
"This IS really good, you know. And it means hella lot to me. Because this is the best photo of me you've taken, Chloe".

"It's the only photo I've taken of you, Max" Chloe giggled.
"Exactly. The first AND the best. That's no small feat, mind you". Max was at this point both serious and… not.

"But seriously. You DO have talent for this stuff, you know? If not photography per se, then at the very least I'd say you're artistic as hell." Max explained, hoping to really reach Chloe.

"I dunno…" Chloe sheepishly said, looking down on her bed.

"Chloe, I…" Max paused. "I want you to have a good life. With me, hopefully. I want you to be something. Someone. Not someone else, but I want you to do something you love to do for a living".

"Does banging you count?" Chloe joked, causing Max to break into a small smile.

"Unfortunately, there's little income by doing that. Listen, I'm not going to push this on you, I promise. But I'd like for you to at least think about it a bit. Please? For me?" Max asked kindly.

"For you, I'd do anything. Thinking about the future for a few moments is definitely something I can do for you" Chloe replied, just before turning around to hug the super cute brunette.

"No matter what we do or Where We Go From Here, I'll always love you" Max whispered into Chloe's ear.

"I know. I'll always love you too, my dear"

The rest of the day remained more or less eventless. After the girls had their little photo shoot, Joyce called them down to dinner, which also went by fairly well. David lead a nice conversation, and after dinner, Max and Chloe had done the dishes. After that, they'd returned upstairs, while David and Joyce watched TV down in the living room. In other words, it'd been a nice Friday evening. By now, though, it was too dark to see anything outside, except for street lights and cars.

"Sooo… You wanna do something? Not that lying in bed cuddling with you isn't entertaining enough, of course." Chloe asked.

"Of course. Any suggestions?" Max asked, lying in Chloe's arms, resting her head on the bluenette's chest. It was comforting to feel her loved one's breath. To feel her heartbeat. To be close to her.
"Well, we could watch a movie. Or something…" Chloe suggested openly.
"You wanna watch Battlestar Galactica again, don't you?".
Damn. Busted. "Maybe?" Chloe asked, trying ridiculously poorly to hide her wish.
Deciding to tease her a little, Max put a hand on one of Chloe's breasts, grabbed a light hold of her nipple through her shirt, and pulled a little, enough to cause the bluenette to jump a little.
"Aah!" Chloe yelped.
"That's what you get for not speaking your mind" Max giggled, after letting Chloe's nipple go.
"Ouchie. Mean" Chloe pouted, before breaking back into that warm, cute smile.
"Maybe you'll get to inflict revenge on me later. As long as Joyce and David is in deep slumber" Max flirted.

After fooling around a bit more, they eventually settled down, and Chloe grabbed her laptop from the desk, and put it on the bed. She opened Netflix, and readied Battlestar Galactica. The show had really grown on her, and at this point, she loved it. They had already plowed through season 1, so she figured they'd eventually reach the end. At which point, they'd need a new thing to watch.

"Come here" Max said, sitting in the bed with wide open arms. It didn't even take Chloe a second to decide, as she soon had Max's arms draped around her, sitting between her legs and leaning back towards her chest. It was by far the best way she'd ever watched movies in her room. The "Previously on…" clip started rolling, and before long, Max's and Chloe's minds were dragged into the show.

After watching what they thought was a few episodes, they eventually got up. The position they were in had grown uncomfortable, and they both were getting a little hungry. Max went to the bathroom, and Chloe headed downstairs to fetch some snacks. After all, it was the weekend. However, as Chloe came down the stairwell, she noticed that everything was dark. The TV was off, the lights in the room were off, and nobody was there. "What…?" she whispered to herself, as she went over to one of the kitchen cabinets to get out a tube of Pringles to bring back up. Returning up the stairs, she went into the bedroom to have a look at her phone. 03:26 AM. Well, shit.

Max returned from the bathroom, and headed into the bedroom. "Is it just me, or is everything darker?" she asked Chloe.

"Not just you. Look" Chloe replied, showing Max the phone.
"Holy… Wowser. Did we really lose track of time?" Max asked, realizing the irony of that sentence.
Chloe chuckled in response. "I think we did. That, or we're both asleep, and one of us is dreaming this".

"If that's the case, then I hope it's not me. Otherwise, this might take a turn for the creepy" Max noted. "Wanna watch another episode?"

"Nah. It's late. I think we should go to bed" Chloe admitted. To be honest, she felt fairly tired, regardless of how calm the day had been. She was actually a bit surprised at how Max was able to keep her eyes open, considering she'd probably been up since 7 AM.

"Aren't you tired, Max?" Chloe asked curiously.
"Very" Max replied bluntly
"Then why didn't you suggest going to bed earlier?"
"Because I want to spend as much time as possible with you, my love" Max said as she was undressing.
Chloe smiled, and took Max's hand. "You don't have to, you know. If you don't want to"
"But I do" Max replied smilingly. She'd managed to strip down to her undies before Chloe stole her hand. Max lightly put her other hand on Chloe's cheek, and leaned in to kiss her beautiful lips. Max never got tired of Chloe's taste. The way she smelled, the way she felt… Everything combined almost made Max lightheaded. Their kiss lasted for some time, though it only felt like a few seconds. They didn't need to say anything to each other. Although they were going to bed, they most certainly weren't going to sleep anytime soon.

Max clicked the lights in the room off, and headed to the bed, where Chloe already was sitting on the edge, undoing her bra. Max grabbed a hold of Chloe's shoulder, and pulled her back onto the bed, causing the bra to hang by one strap.
"Maaax. Sthawp" Chloe giggled, trying to keep her voice down a little. The room was fairly soundproof, but the last thing they wanted was for Joyce or David to walk in on them having sex.

"Nevah. You're mine. And I'm gonna eat you all up" Max said in a silly voice, and started playfully gnawing on Chloe's shoulder. Her teeth tickled a bit, and Chloe almost couldn't control her giggles.

"You're gonna get payback sooner or later" she managed to get out.

"That's fine by me. Maybe I want it" Max said suggestively.

"Mmm… Really now?" Chloe mumbled, before rolling around onto her back, dragging Max along so she would be on top. "There we go. That's better"

"Wow. Guess you're full of surprises" Max said.
"Well, you know me. Always got an ace up my sleeve. Although that's not gonna do me any good now that my jacket is on that chair over there" Chloe joked. As suspected, Max's usual warm smile appeared shortly after. She leaned down to kiss Chloe's neck, and Chloe fully enjoyed it, showing appreciation by letting out small moans. She glanced out the window by chance, and gasped.
"Max! Look!" she said excitedly.
"What?" Max asked as she leaned back up and looked out the window.
"It's snowing. The first snow is falling." Chloe exclaimed excitedly. "I love you, Max"
