Cardigan
Andy had just come home from an AA meeting.
When he opened up the door of his and Sharon's craftsman bungalow, he found Sharon asleep on the couch with something that looked suspiciously like his gray cardigan wrapped around her.
Andy quietly shut and locked the door before going to sit next to Sharon on the couch as he moved a strand of hair out of her face.
That small movement woke her up.
"Mmmhmm," hummed Sharon as she opened her eyes to find Andy sitting next to her legs and smiled up at him.
"How long have you been out?" asked Andy.
"I don't know. What time is it anyways?" asked Sharon.
"About 9:15pm," Andy told her.
"I guess maybe an hour. I was trying to stay awake until you got home, but I must have fallen asleep after the pizza," explained Sharon.
"There's pizza?" asked Andy.
"Yeah half cheese and half veggie. The leftovers are on a plate in the fridge if you want some," Sharon told him.
"Okay. I'll get some in a minute. Is that my sweater?" Andy asked her.
"Yeah. It was the closest warm thing to me when I went to sit on the couch. So, I put it on. Plus, I missed you and wearing this is like a warm hug from you," Sharon explained.
Andy placed a kiss against her forehead before sitting up straight and smiling at her.
"Why don't you go get into your pajamas and get all cozy warm in bed and I'll be in there to join you in ten to fifteen minutes after I eat some pizza?" suggested Andy.
"I can wait for you," offered Sharon.
"Nope. It's been a long day and you look like you could use some rest. The sooner the better. Like I said, I'll be there soon," Andy told her as he stood up.
Sharon stood up and afterwards said, "Alright."
Andy placed a chaste kiss against Sharon's lips before Sharon turned to head down the hallway to their bedroom.
Meanwhile, Andy went into the kitchen and grabbed a plate, glass of water, and a couple slices of pizza before sitting at the dining table as he ate dinner.
After Sharon made her way to her and Andy's room, she took off the cardigan and laid it on the edge of the bed as she changed into one of Andy's LAPD T-shirts that was oversized on her, kept her leggings on that she'd put on when they'd gotten home from work, and put Andy's cardigan sweater back on for an extra layer of warmth as the fall nights had gotten a bit cooler lately.
Sharon climbed into her side of the bed and got under the comforter and was soon enough asleep.
About ten to fifteen minutes later, Andy came strolling into his and Sharon's room and smiled at the sight before him.
Sharon was fast asleep on her side and Andy could see that she was wearing one of his LAPD t-shirts and noticed that she was also still wearing his gray cardigan.
Andy quietly walked into their shared walk-in closet and took off his jeans and Dodger's t-shirt and switched it out for a pair of navy blue sweatpants and a gray t-shirt.
He turned off the lights before climbing into bed with Sharon.
As he slid towards Sharon, wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her back towards his chest.
Sharon stirred slightly before settling in Andy's arms.
As Andy inhaled the scent of Sharon's shampoo, he smiled into her shoulder and accepted that he wasn't getting his sweater back tonight.
The damn sweater looked way better on Sharon anyways.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this latest Fall one-shot. I know it was rather short, but I promise I'll be back soon with more one-shots before the end of the month (when my multi-chapter hiatus ends). Please leave a review if you feel inclined to do so.
