This year, after the lockdown ( in which I'm still in) I thought, since I'll have plenty of time at home, I'll be able to fit myself and get school running smoothly. Also I'll have time for reading and most of all writing again, make some music too.
But no. I feel this year as if I had less time than before. I did half the things I planned half the way I wanted...
For you Festive fic prompts Number 10! Please? Sounds promising.
10: “I just kept pouring brandy in it. Seemed like a good idea”
[Part 1] [Part 2]

Weaver listened as Belle rummaged in the kitchen cupboards, humming to herself. The wind outside had increased in strength, snow lashing against the windows of the cabin. He pulled the little gingham curtains aside to look out, but could see little but the black trunks of trees and billowing clouds of snow, pale blue in the evening light. The sun had already set, and the snowstorm was only getting worse. He wondered if they would be able to get out of there the next day, even if the storm passed. Belle had said it was an hour’s walk to the nearest town, but he suspected it would take longer than that if the snow was deep.
He supposed it could have been worse; the fire was burning well, the cabin was cosy, and Belle informed him that they had plenty of canned food. After they had finished their mugs of brandy-laced coffee, she had announced that she would inspect the cupboards, and was currently poking through one of them, lifting out cans and setting them aside. He got up to put more wood on the fire, and went to explore the rest of the cabin. It had two small bedrooms, the beds covered by soft red blankets. There was a small bathroom, with a corner shower, and a door that led out to the back porch, which looked out over a frozen lake.
When he returned to the lounge, Belle had lined up several tins of food on the kitchen counter and was looking them over.
“I think I can put together something for dinner that won’t suck too hard,” she announced. “Are you hungry?”
“Not at the moment,” he said.
“There’s more coffee if you want it,” she said, holding out the flask, and he took it.
“I thought we’d had it all,” he said, pouring the last into his mug. A strong scent of brandy was coming off it, enough to make his eyes water. “You’re sure this is coffee?”
“It - may be mostly booze by now,” she admitted, chewing her lip adorably. “I just kept pouring brandy in it. Seemed like a good idea.”
Weaver barked a laugh.
“Perhaps we’d better have dinner after all,” he said. “Another cup of this ‘coffee’ and we’ll be on the floor.”
“Hmm.” Belle stepped closer, twining her arms around his neck. “Well, we wouldn’t want that, now would we?”
Weaver set down his mug, stroking his hands over her waist as she kissed him. She was smiling when she pulled back, her expression extremely satisfied. Her fingers were stroking the wisps of hair at the back of his head, and it was sending pleasant shivers through him. Belle’s smile widened a little.
“You know,” she said, her voice a little lower than usual. “It’s our third date.”
“Yes.” He gave a resigned shrug. “I’m sorry it wasn’t something more romantic than getting stuck out here.”
“Oh, I don’t know…” Her fingers pushed further into his hair. “Log cabin, roaring fire, snowed in with nothing to do but - get to know one another. Seems pretty romantic to me. For a third date.”
Weaver licked his lips. That was twice she’d mentioned the third date thing, but he didn’t want to jump to the wrong conclusion.
“So,” he said. “How do you want to pass the time?”
Belle rose up on her toes and kissed him again, her tongue gently stroking against his before she sank back down with a little moan of satisfaction that made him twitch. Her pupils had gone wide and dark, and she sent him a tiny, secretive smile.

Oh, now I want to see that hahaha
Which part? The part where Weaver is an even bigger jerk and throws Lacey money like he’s paying for it, or the part where @mariequitecontrarie fights him for hurting Lacey’s feelings?
