[ you're in a hammock.

yes, it's a good 10 feet off the ground. yes, this is the middle of winter. thankfully, it's also warm, despite being made of metal, though that doesn't change the temperature of the surrounding air, of course. good thing for that warm body you're pressed up against? ]

((placeholder like whoa))

[fuckseptember]

[BUT YOU'RE NOT THE GUY I'M NORMALLY ON TOP OF]

[godwinner]

[ WHY IS THERE ANYONE AT ALL ON TOP OF ME staying asleep for much longer is not a thing that will be happening ]

[fuckseptember]

[ALREADY AWAKE. Oh god. I'm nowhere near the ground. HOW DO I DO THIS]

...

Uh...

...

[drfeelgold]

[ THIS IS SO UNSAFE thank God I am a heavy sleeper ]

[godwinner]

[ IDK WHAT YOU MEAN, THIS HAMMOCK IS VERY SECURE also I'm a light sleeper and am even moreso these days so as to keep this hammock constantly toasty, so consciousness is imminent ]

[drfeelgold]

[ WE ARE LIKE TWENTY FEET OFF THE GROUND HOW IS THAT SECURE? also, if you like toasty things I bet you are loving the fact that I put off heat like a furnace rn. not that.. that'll probably prevent this from sucking any less for me when you do come to, will it :') ]

*OH GOD THE WARMTH GIVE IT TO ME DDDD:

this is more along the lines of burrowing under than snuggling*

[godwinner]

[ I DON'T HAVE ALL THAT MUCH TO SPARE, SRSLY

as this is a mutually beneficial arrangement, he will enable burrowing by wrapping an arm around you under the blanket and pulling you in against him. ]

[mind_over_metal]

*.....not to ruin the mood or anything, but did you get my legs pulled in here, too? because, uh. I didn't.

not that them getting cold would wake me up because, well, but it is cold enough that that's probably not the healthiest*

[godwinner]

[ well, I kind of wrapped myself around you, so I probably took some of the bottom half of the blanket with me, yes.

however, the low-level effort required to keep the metal warm means that he's not sleeping as deeply of late, and he's already a light sleeper. his brow is furrowed with the knowledge of something being off when he opens his eyes... and then he reaches to cover Charles more thoroughly, curls the edges of the hammock more or less closed around them, and shuts his eyes again. ]

*stirs a little when Erik wakes up but remains asleep himself, projecting calm both physically and mentally*

[godwinner]

[ ...falls asleep as quickly as he wakes, as a rule, even without calm ]

[mind_over_metal]

*and, as has been happening, so passes the night*

[godwinner]

[ early bird catches the Nazi and all that, but he seems to be sleeping in this morning.

zzz... ]

[mind_over_metal]

*maybe it's because things are so comfy and warm. because that's what Charles is first aware of as he fuzzily wakes up, turning his head a bit to rest more comfortably against Erik's chest and so that he can see-

...oh hey, so apparently we're inside of a metal hammock cocoon right now.

well.

that's a thing.*
