Hey guys! It's me, Jesspikapal, but you probably already knew that! ;D

So, here I am with chappie six of "100 Ways To Worship Channy" and boy, am I more than stoked to get a new chapter up! Y'see, I just watched the one in which they break up so I'm more than determined to write a cute, fluffy one, as to forget that that... Monstrosity of a plot happened! :D

Oh, and I'm goping to add it in chapter one, right at the start too, but I should porbably say that these chappies are in no way linked! (Though I am allowed to make references bwteen the chapters!) I kinda guessed that you'd already know that by now, but I have been getting a couple of PM's about it so... Yeah, that's just how it works! :)

So here I go. Reviews are tasty; gimme more! :D

Thanks for any and all support! :) All you guys are awesome! Again, I'm real sorry for not updating quicker. Both inspiration and time are not on my side since school started up again... Sorry! :'(

Chapter Six: Winter - "Nights by the fire are certainly warm and cozy, but to be with your beloved is so much, much warmer, because the fire in ones heart is much, much more satisfying..."

X x

"Come on Chad! It's freezing out here!" Sonny cried from the outside of the door, obviously with her teeth chattering and her body shivering violently from the cold of the bleak, white world outside of his door. Chad stiffened, then smiled; ah, the sound of her beautiful voice, coated with the wispy winds of the world.

But of course, he had to naturally sustain his bigoted persona and seem unhappy to see her.

He advanced towards the door of the log-cabin and pulled it open a fraction, making sure to step in the open gap and lean against the door frame tauntingly.

"What do you want Munroe?" He questioned with a smirk, knowing full well that she was wanting to come in. Acting as if he cared was simply not his thing, though he was begining to find it increasingly difficult around Sonny, because the upmost truth was, in actuality, he did care about her. Cared very deeply about her. Possibly even loved her. He didn't know how he could recognize such a feeling, but it just felt right whenever he considered the fact. Before, he would have squirmed under the presence of uncertainty, but nowadays, he was begining to accept it as part of his daily life, the unsuspecting "normality" of his life suprising him with little bits and pieces, good or bad. He knew he had to take the good and the bad in order to enjoy every bit of the good. Good all the time, and it just wouldn't be as fun...

"You know what I want, Cooper," She spat the word as if it was dripping with venom. "Now please, let me in. I'm dying here!" She called, rubbing herself with her arms, her little blue mittens hanging limply from her fingers, apparently too cold to even attempt to keep her warm anymore.

"Well, I don't know. I mean, you was a little rude to me just now." Chad mock contemplated, placing a thumb and forefinger to his chin in a gesture of deep thought. Sonny simply glared at him.

"Please Chad." She begged simply and Chad froze, hearing his name come from her mouth. How good it sounded. He felt a burning desire to make her say it more often, but he held back his urges and faked a frown.

"Hmm, not quite buying it." He commented flatly, still staring up at the top of the wooden door-frame, a small smile playing on his lips as he watched the gentle float of snow drop and rest on Sonny's head quietly, giving her an almost angelic look.

"Please Chad." She repeated, grabbing the fabric of his thick jacket and staring at him with pleading eyes. He faltered minutely, before sighing and shaking his head.

"Fine." He breathed, side-stepping and gesturing with an arm for her to come in. She did so with enthusiasm and a whole-hearted grin on her face, constantly rubbing her body as she shuffled in cautiously.

"You can take your boots off there." He stated, pointing in the vague direction of the shoes rack that was not far from her. She nodded, removed her boots and placed them gently beside the rack as there was not enough space for them to sit alongside the other shoes. They sat on the floor, just as proud, making no sounds of protests at all.

"Thanks Chad." She smiled tenderly and he shrugged it off and briskly walked past her. She instinctively removed her coat and hung it where his coat lay limply, obediently. She watched him nod in approval and then beckon her to come into the room and sit in front of the fire to warm up. She nodded once in achknowledgment and advanced carefully towards the gentle glow of the fire.

Sitting in an organised pile beside him, she brought her hands to the fire and rubbed them and comforted them with the warmth, Chad, who was watching the whole time, had a remote, placid smile on his face.

"I'll take these." He said, already starting to pull the mittens from her fingers. She hesitated slightly, but let him and she spectated closely as he stood up and hung them on a fine wire that she hadn't noticed atop the fire. Must be like his personal radiator or something.

"So, what are you doing so far out?" She asked, trying to make small talk. Apparently it worked, because he turned towards her and shrugged.

"My mom said it would be good for me to come and live up here with the basic stuff. Says it will be good to get away from the whole "acting career" for a little while. Besides, this place has been vacant for a couple of years now since my grandfather got transported to a hosptital 'cause he had a heart attack." explained Chad with a slight frown, remembering the kind vibe the cabin once had whenever he visited because of his granfather. He was probably the kindest man to ever grace this planet and Chad couldn't understand why, after being so well-behaved in God's playground, he had to be kept alive by several machines and an awful tray of doctors food and medication. He couldn't grasp the concept at all.

"Oh, I'm... So sorry." Sonny calmly muttered whilst rubbing his arm in encouragement.

"Nah, don't worry about it. He's alright so... It's all good." Chad said whilst swallowing thickly. He knew that everything was beyond fine for his poor grandad, but he wasn't about to let Sonny know about his slight discomfort.

"Wow, Chad Dylan Cooper cares about someone other than himself? Now I've seen everything!" She joked and it received a harsh glare from Cooper, before he smirked and retorted bitterly.

"Seen everything? Pfft, so you've seen So Random! as number one hit Tween Weekly show?"

Sonny's expression instantly fell, turning into an angry scowl.

"Ha, didn't think so." Chad chided, staring smugly at her. She pressed her forehead in agitation and then fake smiled at him. He ignored her, standing up and walking into another small room. Sonny, curious, stood up also, ignoring her freezing feet, and followed him into the room. What she saw suprised her.

A small closet like room that resembled a kitchen stood in front of her, basking in it's small, yet sure security. Chad appeared comfortable as he sorted through a couple of sets of clothes, whistling idly whilst doing so.

"Hey Sonny. Was just getting something for you." He explained in a low voice whilst picking up a dark blue blanket and handing it to her.

"Oh Chad, you've already done enough. I don't think I could accept anything else from you." Sonny grinned apoligetically, looking honestly guilty. Chad scoffed indiffrently.

"Oh but you'll have to accept more. We haven't even had hot cocoa yet." He smirked with a wink. Sonny placed her hands over her mouth in pretend shock:

"My gosh Chad. You're being awfully sweet today. Is it maybe this cold air that's getting to you?" This comment was met with a grin; a wide grin.

"Nope. Not at all, Munroe." He replied with the same charming wink along with the jazzy point. The wink that he knew that she loved. She was sure of it; he must have known that she loved it, otherwise he wouldn't do it so often around her. In fact, she never really noticed him do it anywhere else, simply around her. But that was enough for her. "Go sit by the fire Sonny. I'll be there shortly." He ordered gently, pointing in the definite direction of the sitting room that they had just been in. She reluctantly trailed back to the other room, feeling guilty about leaving Chad with so much responsibility. She was making him pay so much attention to her and she wasn't sure that she liked it. It wasn't the attention that she wanted afterall, though it was terribly sweet of him.

She carefully sat down in front of the fire, doing as she was told and took in her surroundings. The overall atmosphere of the cabin was cozy, companionable. It felt as warm as an oven and yet as perfect as a starlit night. Everything she needed. There was a small couch in the room, that looked comfortable and easy to relax on, even by looking at it. There were many rugs scattered around and although they were in no presice order, the place didn't look untidy. It was quite remarkable really. Anywhere else and it wouldn't have worked, she betted silently in the captivity of the wooden walls that surrounded her with friendly yet spacious boundaries. The dance of the fire-light was also a nice touch to the whole place as it playfully flickered across the walls and lit up the whole room obliviously.

"Back." She heard a soft voice and she turned to see Chad, holding two mugs, filled with, what she was guessing to be, hot chocolate. He truly was acting like a gentleman right about now, and she decided that she could easily adjust to this side of him. This sweet, considerate side of him was all too rare and she quickly realised that she fully enjoyed it. She hoped that he was here to stay for a little while.

"Great." She replied smoothly, accepting a mug from him and feeling the warmth course through the mug and into her stiff fingers. She sighed in contentment and smiled a dopey smile. She took a small sip and immediately drew it back; it was hot. But a good hot. It warmed her aching throat to the point of healing and it brightened her insides with it's bouncy particles of energy, yet it made her feel slightly sleepy beause of the homely feel to it. She couldn;t decided how she felt about the hot coca; she just knew she loved it. Adored it. Much like she did Chad...

"So, how is it?" He asked inquisitively with a serene smile as he sipped his own drink, moving his eyes to look at her again when he had finished.

"Perfect." She beamed blissfully, enjoying the faint tickle of the steam that blew into her face roughly.

"Good." He responded, sipping again. "And the blanket?"

"Warm. Thank you Chad. Honestly. You've been nothing but good to me." Sonny admitted truthfully, her brown curls begining to gain their life back as they bounced about her back innocently, the same as always. Before, it had halted in it's tracks because of the heavy snow, but that had long-gone and the volume was returning gradually.

"It's nothing Sonny. Really." Chad assured quietly, smiling softly at her before looking into the fire with unreadable eyes. Was she maybe bothering him? Was she asking for too much from him? She hoped not; she hated to think that he thought that she was taking advantage of him. She wouldn't have it!

"No, it really is something Chad. Thank you. If there's anything I can do...?" She trailed, feeling the obvious vibe backing up her offer. She watched him twitch briefly, before he turned to her with a slightly sly expression, his eyes lowered dangerously at her. She could still see his blue eyes, but she saw something different in them; hunger? Desire?

She shuddered the thought away and tryed her best to stay focused, listening for whatever he should say. There was nothing too much that he could ask for if she was completely truthful with herself.

"Share..." He drawled, pulling nearer to her, that same confident smirk etched into his face. Sonny stiffened as she felt his hands glide over her arms from underneath the blanket, him having wound his arm sneakily underneath of the soft fluffy material. Then, he roughly yanked the blanket and she toppled into him, not anticipating the thought of having to let go and give it to him.

"O-Ok." She stumbled about her sentence, screwing her eyes shut as she inwardly screamed; she hadn't meant to stutter. Chad then smiled a real, gentle smile and laughed, his voice equally gentle.

"Sonny, I don't bite. Well, for the most part anyways..." He stated, whilst rubbing the back of his neck suggestively, purposfully trying to make her a little squeamish. He succeeded as she shivered slightly, before he skilfully pulled her right against him and into his lap, wrapping the blanket securely around the pair of them with his strong arms. Said strong arms were also around Sonny as he held the blanket close to them. She soon adjusted to sitting in his lap with no more than a bright blush in her cheeks, choosing wisely to keep silent about the whole ordeal.

"You're awfully silent Sonny." He whispered in her ear, causing her breath to hitch and get caught in her throat. Her being the coward that she was, she buried her face in his neck, desperate to hide herself from his judgemental eyes. However, his now dark blue eyes flashed with need. All she'd need to do was gain a slight confidence boost and move those damned lips of hers. She'd already done most of the work! However, Chad was prepared for this.

"Sonny, you know that CDC doesn't do silence. What's on your mind?" He grinned, touching her neck with a single finger, though the effect was ghostly and shadow-like, as he hardly even brushed her soft skin.

"Nothing..." She trailed, not even stopping to remove her head from Chad's neck. The vibrations of the words travelled from his neck and down his spine, causing him to silently grip the rug beneath him to keep his control in check. It wasn't often he had a need this strong and it was a little overwhelming to say the absolute least. However, he kept it on a leash and simply enjoyed the feeling in the soltitude of his own body, silently asking for more.

"You sure about that?" He murmured and he distinctly felt her grip his brown jacket tightly in between her fingers, though he did nothing to stop her. By all means, he welcomed it, the feeling all to good to resist. He could distinctively feel the race of his heart and a fire burn in the pit of his stomach. A truly delightful emotion was coursing through his at this very second in time and he couldn't stop the thoughts from flowing into his mind, one by one.

He remembered the tender way that his name rolled off of her tounge. He remembered her soft touch when she had touched him in an act of comfort, and even through the thickness of his jacket, he could feel his skin burn upon contact. He remembered the way that, just previously, how utterly amazing it had felt to have her lips on his skin. What about on his own? He was all too curious about that...

"W-We should drink the cocoa..." She stuttered helplessly, but Chad wasn't thirsty anymore. In fact, he was pretty sure that she wasn't either and that she could feel, if only a little bit, what he was feeling at this moment. "I should probably move now."

"No, no, the blanket isn't going anywhere." Chad stated firmly, gripping her tighter. "Sonny, look at me." He commanded softly. She quietly refused, shaking her head, her lips brushing continuously against his neck which made him take a sharp breath in and close his eyes with a small, yet sure, smile.

"Sonny." He said again, placing a gentle finger underneath her chin and tipping her head upwards to meet his eyes with her own dee brown ones. He instantly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end when he met her gaze.

"Yes Chad?" She whispered, still clutching his jacket tightly between her thin fingers.

"Heh, don't play dumb with me Munroe." He chuckled, before he pulled her into a slow, passionate kiss. At first, she blinked and tried to pull away; not because she disliked it, but because she felt so confused, but a hand on the back of her head prevented her from doing so and she slowly felt her control slipping away from her. She slowly, shyly, kissed back, but was quickly eased into it after some guidance from Chad. He fiddled idly with the ends of her hair. He politely asked for permission to enter her mouth, but she refused, feeling all too overwhlemed.

But you see, Chad didn't have time for that and so deviously, he smirked against her lips, before he tugged her hair sharply (Not violently!). She opened her mouth to protest and then he took his chance; he dived in, poking in the various areas of her mouth. Inwardly, he was grinning from ear to ear, but outwardly, he kept his cool and instead brought his hand to rest on her waist, shuffling slightly closer to her and grunting briefly in his throat.

When they pulled apart for air, he quickly retreated to her neck, the flesh looking inviting just by simply existing. Placing tender kisses and nips to her neck, he felt a small rush of energy, his whole body tingling strangely. Sonny giggled, the feeling beautiful and ever so great, but slightly tickley too!

She raised her hands to his hair and he halted for a moment.

"Be careful Munroe..." He growled. Then, he resumed his work and Sonny simply shrugged before combing through it lightly. He froze for a second, but then let it go and pulled her into another kiss, this one much more comfortable between the pair of them. Like it was meant to be, as corny as it sounded, even to their ears.

This time, she roughly grabbed at his hair, holding fistfuls of blonde ravenously between her agitated fingers and he did little to stop her. He devilishly gripped the small of her back and began making his way lower, until his hands were stretched across her hips and rear. She jumped slightyl in suprise, but let it go and kissed him one final time, before she pulled back and grinned a stupid grin, Chad mimicking secretly.

They breathed out calmly, steadying their brething patterns to the best of their ability before they caught each others eye and held it for a second, before she nuzzled his neck cautiously with a smile on her face. He smiled and then noticed the blanket on the floor beside them; he had completely forgotton about it...

He reached for the silky substance and laid back, catching Sonny by suprise as she sat up comically and looked around.

"Calm down Sonny." Chad tutted humourously and Sonny immediately felt embarrassed. She then carefully lowered herself back onto him and he nodded in approval, before he pulled the blanket tightly around them, feeling the utter warmth caress their bodies lovingly. Her head laid on his chest whilst his fingers locked around her back, his arms swinging around them expertedly.

So this was the advantage of winter, hmm?

Most extrordinary...

X x

Done! :D

Ok, so I tryed to make this slightly longer; I hope it's still in character fopr you guys! :)

Like I mentioned earlier, updates are bound to get slower because I'm having to study real hard for my GCSE's. They're not till another year or so (End of year 10. I'm in year nine now, thirteen years old so I should be almost fifteen when I take them. ^-^) , but you can never study too much right? I mean, it's always a good thing to know what you have to do for your exams - especially since they have a major impact on what college you go to!

I DID check it through, but this keyboard, as you've probably heard me say before, hates me so... ^^; But I have checked it through... TWICE! :)

So I'm trying hard with that aswell. AND (See, I'm a busy kid!) I have my school clubs, (fast!) dancing, badminton and film club, aswell as a comic for the school to draw and write. So I'm a bit of a busy bee... ^-^;

But anyways, reviews make me happy! Please gime, gimme! ;D

Thanks for any and all support! I hope to be updating soon and on't worry. Just because I'm busy, doesn't mean the rule doesn't apply: The more reviews I get, the faster I update! So get reviewing! ;)
