This one is short but sweet. Enjoy.

It was early in the morning and Tavros was still sleeping peacefully in his bed. He would not have to wake for a few more hours. The morning was cool and a chill clung to the metal floor of the meteoric facility. The coldness of the place had taken time to get used to, especially with no recuperacoons to sleep in. The beds and blankets they used now kept them warm enough, but the coverings were nothing compared to the warmth and embracing feeling of the slime. Despite the drastic change in sleeping conditions the Taurus was adjusting rather well. He actually found it rather agreeable in one aspect; he no longer got stuck and was able to pull himself out of bed with ease. No more worrying about ramps either.

The quite morning was interrupted by the faintest of noises, a hardly audible shuffling from down the hall. With a soft buzzing hum the door to the Taurus's room slid open and closed. The intruder made their way over to the foot of the small troll's bed, stopping and standing for a few moments. Completely unaware of this trespasser Tavros remained sound asleep. The other troll stood and scratched the back of their foot with their toes nervously before leaning over and crawling onto the bed. Slowly making their way up the others body they tried their best not to wake them. Once fully hovering over the smaller troll the other dropped lightly on top of him and snuggled against him.

Tavros startled awake at the feel of someone on him and turned his head as best he could in order to see who it was.

"Uh, Gamzee? What are you doing?" He asked groggily, though a small smile pulled at his lips.

"My bed was motherfuckin' freezin'." Gamzee replied curling his feet up under himself, "You mind if this motherfucker beds with you, bro?"

"Oh, uh, well. You're already here so I, uh, guess its okay." Tavros said with a small nod.

"Thanks, man. I motherfuckin' owe you one." Gamzee stated with gratitude.

"You should get under the covers if you're cold, Gamzee." Tavros said with a slight blush as he invited the other into his warm covering cocoon.

"Thanks, Tav-bro. You are a motherfuckin' life saver." Gamzee replied with a grin before climbing under the blankets.

Once fully covered he slid over and wrapped his arms around the smaller troll who shivered at the others lack of warmth.

"Gamzee, you're freezing." Tavros said as the other nuzzled into his neck.

"It's this place that's all up and motherfuckin' freezin'." Gamzee replied, "Makin' it hard for any motherfucker to keep warm."

Tavros nodded his head with a hum of agreement.

"You're all nice and motherfuckin' toasty though." Gamzee said pulling the other against his chest, "Like a little miracle of motherfuckin' warmth."

Tavros giggled at Gamzee's comment and felt the blush on his cheeks deepen a bit more.

"I can use fire so I, uh, guess that's why. You know, like a little heat emitter." Tavros reasoned aloud.

"Sounds like a motherfuckin' miracle to me, bro." Gamzee replied.

"I guess." Tavros said softly as he closed his eyes.

The feeling of Gamzee's arms wrapped comfortably around him felt oddly soothing and he felt himself drifting back to sleep. Gamzee lay listening to Tavros's breathing as he fell unconscious once more, the steady rhythmic sound lulling him to sleep as well.
