"Fluffy request for Aleksi for the December project (if its still available)! Being wrapped up in his arms, with Rilla beside you, watching the snow gently fall during a storm on a cold, dark day"
Note: I'm back at it! (Please, don't get used to it) I'll try my best to finish some more fics before my vacation but I can’t promise anything. The year coming to an end is stressing me out so much!
Anyways have some long overdue fluff with Aleksi and Rilla 💜
You had not seen Aleksi much in the past few months, so, him and you had decided to go on a short vacation before you would visit your families for the holidays.
He had been on tour all around the globe with his boys for most of the year, and when they were not touring they were working in the studio.
You supported him and his career, but sometimes you missed him terribly. Messages and (video)calls just were not enough sometimes, you needed him by your side falling asleep and waking up, his arms wrapping around you and pulling you closer whenever you tried to leave the bed early. You had missed having breakfast together before work or your late dinners when you came home from work and he from the studio.
That's why you had suggested driving up north to stay at your family's cottage for a few days.
Just the two of you and little Rilla.
It was still early in the morning when you climbed out of bed. Aleksi was already outside on a morning walk with Rilla; she had woken you up some minutes ago and Aleksi had volunteered to go. And you probably would have joined them, but the bed had felt way too warm and comfy this morning.
But now that Aleksi was not beside you anymore, the bed felt a little empty.
Once you got dressed you went over to the small kitchen starting to prepare your breakfast. Freshly brewed coffee and self-made pancakes and some fruits.
While you set the table for the two of you, you peeked out of the window.
The sky was grey and tiny snowflakes twirled through the air.
So, the weather app had lied once again about getting at least a few rays of sunshine.
You were about to place two cups on the table when you heard the door being opened and instantly rushed over to greet Aleksi and Rilla.
"We are back."
They both were a little soaked, Aleksi's cheeks and nose pink from the cold. Rilla was dripping wet from the snow, but she looked very happy and proud once she had covered the legs of your sweatpants in mud and water.
"Stop silly!" You laughed leaning down to pet her wet fur.
Aleksi smiled at the two of you and got rid of his shoes and jacket.
"Let's get both of you a towel!" you suggested and Rilla barked in agreement as she followed you to the bathroom. You handed one to Aleksi, so he could dry off his hair, and then you bowed down to rub her dry.
"You made breakfast for us?" Aleksi noticed now that he had stepped into the small living room.
"Yeah, your favourite!" You waved him a warm smile, letting go of Rilla, before you joined Aleksi at the table.
Walking past him you could not resist the urge to ruffle through his messy black hair. He looked up at you with soft chuckle and locked his blue eyes with yours. You bend forward and placed a quick kiss on his forhead, then you sat down across from him.
"There wasn't supposed to be that much snow today!", Aleksi stated halfway through breakfast, pointing out of the window behind you.
Turning your head you realized that the sky had gotten even darker and the snowflakes were bigger than some minutes ago.
"Hm, maybe we should cancel our plans for today?!" You said nipping at your coffee, watching Aleksi over your cup.
You two had planned to go on a little nature walk to the lake nearby, but with all the snow it wouldn't be a good idea to walk through the forest.
"Yeah, probably the best! I just checked and they have forecast a snowstorm, nothing major but it's going to get pretty windy." He said looking up from his phone.
Not exactly the weather the two you had hoped for and definitely not the weather to go out and explore nature.
After breakfast, Aleksi helped you with the dishes and added more wood to the oven. The cottage had heating, so, the fireplace was more for atmospherical propose, but you had always loved the light and smell it created. Everything looked more cosy illuminated in the flickering light of the fireplace. And now that you would spend a lazy day inside a little extra warmth seemed like a good idea.
While Aleksi began to gather blankets, snacks, and drinks in the living room, you went outside again, to quickly check on the car and to make everything stormproof.
When you stepped back inside and kicked off your boots, you saw that your boyfriend already had settled down on the couch.
He smiled invitingly and opened his fluffy blanket for you to join him. You slipped your jacket off in one quick motion and threw yourself into his arms, shoving your cold hands under his shirt.
"So warm and soft." you purred as you cuddled into him, your hands rubbing over the skin on his stomach, making his hairs stand up. Aleksi gasped under your cold touch but he did not push you off, instead, he turned his head to face you and pecked your lips. You pulled him closer, your hands wandering to his hips, deepening the kiss. He still tasted like coffee.
A quiet whimper made you part from each other. You both turned around and saw Rilla looking up at the two of you with her best puppy eyes.
"Aww, look who's jealous!"; Aleksi giggled softly, pecking your cheek and causing another whimper from Rilla. He laughed as you both made room for her on the couch, Aleksi now spooning you, so Rilla could lie down beside you.
"Come here, sweety!" you patted the spot in front of you and she happily wiggled her tail before hopping on the couch. She settled down next to you, her big brown eyes fixating you as she waited for you to pet her. And of course, you did, you let your fingers stroke through her fur until she dozed off.
Aleksi nuzzled your hair, lowly humming as he took in the smell of them. With a satisfied sigh, you placed your hand on his and pressed your back further against his body.
His hair brushed against your neck as he placed a light kiss there.
"Wanna watch a movie?" he asked from behind you and reached for the remote.
"Later, I wanna watch the snow for a while." You whispered, taking the remote from his hands and gazing out the window.
The wind had gotten stronger and made the snowflakes twirl through the air in every direction.
You felt Aleksi slightly nod before he placed another soft kiss on your neck.
This was perfect and everything you could have asked for.
You wrapped up in Aleksi's warm embrace, sweet little Rilla curled up beside you, a cosy fire illuminating the room, as a snowstorm raged outside.
