Again, sorry for the long wait between updates. For some reason I have all kinds of ideas for oneshots but I'm just too lazy to do much writing or I can never figure out how to write the chapters. Anyway, this chapter is just kinda pure fluff. I got the idea late one night and...yeah, here it is.

Panda Bear-Yay! You're back! I bet you're going to be the best actor in the play and the directors will wish they had cast you in the lead. Yeah, I can see Snipes acting like he's older just to prove himself to the older boys. I don't know why though, that's just how I see him.

MinnieG-Thank you. I never really thought of the chapter as cute, but whatever works for you. Yeah, I can see the boys being crazy in the morning and having lots of laughs. I'd love to watch the newsies getting ready in the morning. (After they've put clothes on, of course. Otherwise it'd be awkward...) So just let me know any details you want me to include in your story and I'll get on that as soon as I can get my lazy butt back into writing mode.

It was a cold, rainy night in December just before Christmas and Laura Mae was doing what any sane person would be doing-curling up in front of a warm fire with a hot cup of tea and a good book. Her friend Carey had gone to visit her boyfriend Crutchy, who just so happened to be Laura's cousin, so Laura had the place to herself. Sitting down on the couch, Laura opened her favorite book, Little Women. She was so absorbed in her reading, she didn't notice the slim, blond-haired boy sneaking up on her.
Blink waited for the right moment to scare Laura, watching as she turned another page. He quietly snuck up behind her and lightly grabbed her waist. She flew off the couch with a squeal and Blink busted up laughing. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. When he didn't stop laughing, she grabbed the nearest pillow and threw it at him. He managed to stop laughing and put on a pretend angry face.
"So dat's how it is?" he growled. "Do youse know wat Ise do ta goirls dat start fights wit me?" Laura shook her head and Blink started advancing towards her. "Dis!" With that, he pulled her close and started tickling her sides. She laughed and twisted out of his reach before they both collapsed on the couch. For a moment they sat on the couch, laughing and breathless, before Blink stopped and looked over at her. His eyes searched her face as if trying to memorize it and Laura could feel her heart racing. Feeling awkward, she darted her eyes around the room. A soft hand cupped her face and she turned to see Blink staring at her like a man that hadn't eaten in days. Laura closed her eyes as he leaned in and softly kissed her lips. It felt like an eternity but too soon he pulled away.
"Youse is beautiful," he told her, desire filling his voice. Laura couldn't hear him, but saw desire written on his face that matched how she felt inside. "Ise love youse more den anything."
Laura didn't have her wits about her anymore, and she could only pull him closer and kiss him deeply. They shifted around on the couch into a laying position as the moment began to heat up. His hands travelled through her hair and over her arms and back. Blink felt his heart jump when she put her arms around his neck and ran a hand through his hair. Kissing her more intently, he began trailing kisses down her jaw to her neck, pushing her dress off her shoulders as he went. The cold air hitting her shoulders brought Laura back to her senses and she shoved Blink away. He sat up and moved to the other end of the couch, his breathing ragged. She pushed herself off the couch and walked into the kitchen. Blink let her go, knowing they needed time for their emotions to calm down. When she didn't return for several minutes, he went looking for her and found her staring out the kitchen window with tears running down her face. Putting his arms around her from behind, he held her close as she turned and cried on his shoulder.
"You okay?" he signed to her when she pulled away, leaving his left arm around her waist. She nodded as she wiped the tears away, and then shook her head, looking confused.
"I…that…too fast…" She threw her hands up before wrapping her arms around him again and burying her face in his chest. A shudder ran down her spine but thankfully she didn't start crying again.
"Hey," Blink said softly as he lifted her face up. "Ise sorry. Ise truly am. Ise didn't mean for it ta go dat far. Ise respect youse and Ise don't want youse ta do anything unless youse want ta. Ise love ya too much ta takes advantage of youse like dat. Understand?"
Laura nodded and Blink softly kissed her forehead. They slowly swayed in a circle, still wrapped in each others arms. When Carey and Crutchy walked in a few minutes later, Laura and Blink were still wrapped in each other's arms, lost in their own world. Carey dragged Crutchy out as Blink gently kissed the top of Laura's head. Laura sighed in contentment and hugged him just a little bit tighter.
"I love you."
"Ise love youse, too."

So yeah...pure fluff. Not sure where I got the idea, but hope you like it. I've started a Mighty Ducks/Newsies crossover if anyone's interested in reading it. Okay, so you know the drill by now. Enjoy!
