Chapter 19: Cold Outside

Cordelia woke up feeling a strong sense of safety and comfort. She sat up from her lying position and felt a heavy blanket fall off from her frame. She groggily wiped the sleep from her eyes as she looked off to her side and saw Robin, who had fallen asleep on the couch beside her. The menu of the DVD they were watching remained static on the nearby TV screen. Grabbing the remote, she turned off the television and stretched. Grabbing her phone from her pocket and glancing down at it to check the time, she realized it was getting pretty late and knew she should head back to her place. As she made her way towards the door, she grabbed her bag and made her way out of Robin's apartment, ready to leave. However, as she passed by the porch window, she noticed what would make for a huge problem with her leaving.

Robin woke up to Cordelia shaking him awake. "Mmmm, five more minutes, please," Robin mumbled, and with that he rolled over onto his side, facing away from Cordelia.

Cordelia pouted and walked into the apartment's kitchen, grabbed a plastic bag, and made sure to tie it closed, filled with air. She walked back over to Robin and, with a quick slap, she popped the bag and got Robin to sit upright extremely quick. He looked over, shocked and wide-eyed, and saw Cordelia tapping her foot. "Is Sleeping Beauty awake now?" Cordelia asked sarcastically.

Robin closed and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "Alright, what's wrong?"

Cordelia just pointed to the window and Robin immediately saw for himself what the problem was; it had started snowing. "Well, that's not so bad. Here, I'll go dig out your car."

"I don't think you'll make good progress on that," the redhead retorted. Robin, confused at this, stood up and walked over to the window. He saw it wasn't actually a light fall, but a full-on blizzard. Robin put his hands behind his head in contemplation and thought over the situation. The parking lot was visible from his window, and he was certain that if he even tried to dig out Cordelia's car then the cold, white flurry would quickly replace what was shoveled away. In short, it would be useless to even attempt.

"Well... looks like the best option for me is to just stay here for the night, at least until this weather blows over." Robin closed the blinds and sat back down on the couch.

Cordelia sat down next to him and laid her head down on his shoulder. "Oh, Sumia is going to have a field day on this."

Robin laughed at this. "Better give her all the juicy details, then."
Cordelia giggled. "Yes, we slept in the same bed, and after a few sweet good nights, we fell asleep. So risque!"

Robin smiled and kissed the top of Cordelia's head. "Guess we should get ready for our lovely night," he whispered lovingly.
Cordelia stood up and stretched. "Well, I'll take a shower first. No peeking, Robin."

Robin blushed a bright red. "You'll never let me live that down, will you?"

Cordelia gave a sideways glance to Robin and smirked as she walked off to the bathroom with an overdramatic sway of her hips.

A/N: Got this one going. This chapter was a spur of the moment. I live in the Midwest of the U.S. and our weather is just weird. Want to start enjoying spring? Too bad here's another Sunday of snow for you.

Jadefiresaph: Thank you for the support. I always enjoy just reading a little bit of fluff. Makes the day feel so much nicer when i do.

Sergeant Daniel: I tell them the same thing. But ah well, to each his own. Thank you for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoy. Lissa is 3rd, Olivia is my 2nd favorite. Has nothing to do with the three most popular of the future children now that I think about it XD
