Cuffing Season with Law
A confession for Kendall (@strawberrystepmom)
a best friend's brother to lover story
Where: Your best friend’s cabin
How: You’ve been coming to your friend’s cabin in the winter for as long as you can remember. The week between Christmas and New Year’s always spent with her and her family, tucked away in nature. The presence of her attractive older brother never hurt your excitement to be there either.
You were curled by the window currently, your friend and her partner having gone out, venturing in the snow to get some extra supplies from the store. They’d left you alone in the home with her brother.
You didn’t mind being alone with Law, he mostly was quiet, preferring to observe the chaotic ongoing of his sister and you when you got together. He was easy to relax around, an easy feeling of understanding always coming from him.
The quiet gave you the chance to do something you always loved to, something you reserved for when your friend was away because when she was there you wanted to always be playful with her, engaging in this activity and that. A constant go go go. But now?
There was quiet music coming from the old record player in the corner of the living room, filling the cabin with the filtered song. A perfect combination with the crackling of the fireplace. The window you were sitting at was cold, the small bench in front of it more akin to the weather outside than the warmth in.
“You look cold.” The sound of Law’s voice startles you, having nearly forgotten he was there with how quietly he moved around. He’s standing in front of you now, two mugs in his hands as he followed where your gaze previously was out the window. He blindly offers you one of the steaming mugs, “Cider.” he tells you as you take it.
You can feel the spices start to warm you up by just inhaling the scent, a smile crawling onto your lips immediately. “Thank you.”
He’s quiet as he sips his own cup, watching the snow come down outside. “You come to this window every year. What do you watch?” He says it so nonchalantly, an admission that he’s been watching you, memorizing your patterns for years, something that pushes heat into your cheeks.
“Just the snow,” you confess, letting your eyes trail back to the sight outside, “it’s so serene and beautiful, watching it coat everything, the way the trees move in the wind and the slight shift in the piles. It’s comforting.”
Law hums in acknowledgement, and gestures to the bit of space left over on the bench by your feet. “Mind if I join you?”
You chuckle quietly and pull your knees closer to your chest, your feet moving to give him proper room to sit on the bench with you. It was a comfortable sort of silence between the two of you as you both admired the world outside from your window seat. A soft shiver ran up your body when one of his hands brushed against your ankle and you bit your lip, hoping he hadn’t noticed.
“You still cold?” He asked, warm fingers circling your colder skin. “Come here.” He leaned back slightly, extending one of his legs against the window before motioning for you to come towards him.
There was a beat of hesitation on your end before you decided to throw caution to the wind. You turned your body carefully, easing yourself between his legs but keeping a space between the two of you, one he quickly closed.
His arm wraps around your center, pulling you gently against his chest where can already feel the heat radiating off of him. The music still playing from the corner sounds muted against the beating of your own heart now.
“Think I can hear your heart beating.” Law teases as he adjusts his grip on you, and brings his cider back to his lips. Heat flushes your cheeks at the comment and you can hear him swallow the hot liquid with how close you are.
“Shh.” You chastise him, but you’re sure, if you listen close enough, you can hear his too.
“It is beautiful out there.” He mumbles as he lets you wiggle yourself into a more comfortable position leaning against him. “We should go on a walk later. I’d like to spend more time together, just the two of us.”
