Chapter 30: Cocoa and Cuddles

[1 days til Christmas]

   It was Christmas eve, and the dorm was decorated accordingly. A small tree was put up in the corner of the living room, decorated and lit. A few presents below it. The walls were covered in snowflakes and Christmas lights. It had been alot of work though.

    Lafayette let out a sigh of relief as he plopped down on the couch beside Herc, who had come to help decorate.

"Are you alright?" Herc asked, slinging his arm across Laf's shoulders, before placing a soft kiss to the frenchmans face. Laf's only response was a groan of frustration and tiredness as he snuggled closer to Herc's chest.

"Whould hot chocolate make you feel better?" Herc said with a grin.

    Lafayette shot up and vigorously nodded. Herc only smiled and stood up and Laf attempted to follow. Herc turned around and lead Lafayette back to the couch and made him sit down.

"Babe, you need a break. I've got this trust me." Herc said persuasively.

    Lafayette sat back down with a pout, crossing his arms. Herc was satisfied, and headed to the kitchen. He began to place water on the stove and waited for it to heat up.

  Once the hot chocolate was prepared, I brought the beverage filled mugs into the living room. Lafayette was still slightly pouty, but the sight of the steaming hot cocoa made his eyes sparkle with joy. He reached out for the cup, taking to with both hands, and smiled up at me.

"You want to watch a movie?" I asked.

"Oui." Laf smiled gently blowing on his cup of cocoa.

"What do you want to watch?" I replied.

"Um...," Lafayette tapped his chin "how about White Christmas?"

    I noded before starting up the movie. Once the beginning scenes began to play, I joined Laf on the couch. He immediately responded by leaning back against my shoulder , and I wrapped one arm around his waist. I watched as Lafayette quietly sung along to each song, made even more adorable by his accent. He had clearly seen this movie before.

(Lafayette POV)

    I knew every song. I had watched the movie many times. I watched as they danced, smiled, and sung until my eyelids began to feel heavy. I careful slipped in Herc's lap, nuzzling my face into the crook of his so mu head could rest comfortably on his shoulder. He gently wrapped me up in his loving embrace, and I took a deep breath in. He smelt slightly of cinnamon and coffee, and it put me at ease.

I felt tired
I felt warm
I felt happy
I felt protected

I felt loved

   And as my eyes began to flutter shut I smiled knowing that the man I loved, loved me in return.
