A/N: In which Tori and Jade make a special blanket;

"So how does this work again?"

"First, we each pick a fabric." Tori had already started looking at the various bolts of fabrics surrounding them in the aisle as she spoke. "And then we cut and sew them together to make a double sided blanket."

She rubbed her hands over a Christmas themed printed fabric just then, her eyes lighting up as she did. "Ooh, I want this one!"

"Tori, it's November," Jade said as she looked at the material. It was a soft green fleece with strands of colorful Christmas lights printed on it. Jade was secretly immediately attached to the fabric, if only because it felt like the perfect fabric to snuggle under with Tori while watching a Christmas movie. "But...okay. I'll pick something Christmas themed, too."

"Yours doesn't have to be Christmas," Tori said. "The point is we each pick something we like, so then we can put them together for something that both of us can enjoy."

"I know, but you know I really like Christmas." Jade said the last part quickly, as if it was hard to admit. "Ever since I got you in Sikowitz' Secret Santa thing back in school. That was really when I started liking it."

Tori watched as Jade scanned over the fabric, her eyes finally landing on a soft red fleece with outlines of white Christmas trees on it.

"This would go good with yours, the lights," Jade said, stroking her hand over the material.

"And because it's all the Christmas colors," Tori said, reaching to touch Jade's picked fabric as well.

"Even better," Jade agreed.

Later, once Tori had pulled up the video she'd found and she and Jade had watched it about half a dozen times for the steps and gathered all the supplies needed for the craft, the pair figured it out pretty quickly. About an hour later, they had a double sided Christmas themed blanket, made from both of their specially picked fabrics.

"What's the first movie you wanna watch while snuggling under this blanket?" Tori asked. Jade only had to think about it for a moment. She did have more favorite Halloween movies, but there was a Christmas movie that both she and Tori held close to their hearts (Tori loved all Christmas movies, but this one was special because it had been a holiday tradition in each of their houses at Christmas time, even Jade's, despite the fact she used to not like Christmas as much as now).

"I've gotta go with 'Christmas Vacation'," Jade said, and Tori nodded.

"My favorite," she agreed. "I'll make popcorn and cocoa."

"I'll get the living room ready," Jade said.

They met back up about ten minutes later, Tori carrying two cups of hot chocolate (and then returning again with the bowl of popcorn), Jade holding the blanket up and open for her to snuggle up with her. The movie showed on the screen, but Jade had it paused until they were both ready. Once Tori had handed Jade her cup and nestled the bowl of popcorn between them, Jade unpaused the movie, and the pair of them settled in under their homemade blanket, eager to watch their favorite Christmas movie together.

A/N: I want to do that thing with my girlfriend where each of us pick a fabric at the craft store and make a double sided blanket (I saw it on Tiktok, I believe?), but since we can't just yet, I'm gonna write about it (and some cozy Christmas vibes because my girlfriend got me in the mood for it) instead. Thanks for reading!
