Trope: sharing one bed
"Well, this is certainly... cozy," Jake surmised, which yeah, understatement of the year. His voice was barely above a whisper, with that awkward twinge to it that belied how nervous he was at just- oh, this whole fucking situation.
Jake swore he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He almost wondered if Amy could hear it. They were certainly close enough for it.
He shifted again, his chest uncomfortably tight. This was not how he expected this evening to be going. Now Amy was so close that he could feel her every breath landing on his cheek, and just this- this proximity, sent sparks shooting down his spine.
Amy rolled her eyes. "If you wanna freeze to death, be my guest."
They were both using the same hushed tone, because it was just against the laws of nature to be having a conversation at a normal volume level in this kind of situation.
Sharing a sleeping bag with someone was much more intimate that Jake ever would have guessed. Sharing one with Amy- yeah, he didn't know if he was gonna survive this.
"Hey, I am very grateful to you opening up your emergency sleeping bag to me." Jake snuggled into the warm cocoon he was in for emphasis- or maybe burrowing was the right word for it.
Whatever it was, it was awfully cute, and Amy tried not to think about that fact.
She was very much struggling with keeping those thoughts at bay- the ones that she should not be having about her partner, the ones that only seemed to multiply in this disaster scenario that she was secretly enjoying. It was easier to fall back on the teasing jabs and the exasperated but undeniably fond huffs than to use just her willpower to keep from staring at him because- he was just so close, and warm. He'd never been this close before.
Amy always wanted him this close.
Now though, she just had to concentrate on making it through the night. And if she thought that Jake looked unfairly cute all snuggled up like this- well, no one had to know that but her.
AN: I took your sharing a bed trope and one upped it into sharing a sleeping bag- same spirit, right?
I had Amydancepants-peralta on tumblr for the b99 summer 2019 fic exchange, and here a couple drabbles resulting from the tropes/prompts
