Author's Notes - The prompts were pulled from this list by @avabrynne - specifically prompts #2 and #30 - holiday movie marathon and blanket fort. Also shout out to @strangergraphics for the super cute divider.

The commute home had frayed his last shred of weary patience. It seemed there had been some kind of wreck nearly every few miles in the beginning hours of the impending blizzard. By the time he had gotten home, night had fallen and Cassian had never been more glad to see his apartment door, but it was who was on the other side that he was most excited for.

He barely made it through the door before he was dropping his duffel bag in the entry hall and throwing his scarf over the hook on the wall. “Sorry I’m late but –.” He paused, taking in the sight before him.

You were sitting cross-legged on the living room floor, directly in his line of sight. Looking up from your project you smiled brightly at him.

“Hey baby! You’re home! I was getting worried,” you chirped happily as you rose from the floor to greet him with a kiss. 

“Traffic was a beast. What are you doing?” he asked as he pulled you in for another peck on the lips. “What is this?” He gestured behind you to the living room, now unrecognizable.

“Well,” you started as you slipped around him and began helping him with his coat. “I figured since the weather is –”

“Frightful?,” Cas chuckled as he took his wool coat from your hands and hung it on the hook with his scarf.

You laughed merrily. “Exactly. So, I thought I would make inside – delightful.” A proud flush of color rose to your cheeks as you bounced on the balls of your feet in front of him. “Would you like the tour?” 

“After you.” Cas gestured with his arm towards your creation.

Hands gripped in front of you in excited anticipation, you beamed. “Oh, and no shoes allowed.”

Cassian quickly kicked off his wet, slushy shoes before trailing behind you and lowering his large frame to the floor.

The entire living room had been transformed. Couch cushions had been salvaged into makeshift walls and blankets pulled from your bed. Cas was pretty sure the side table and lamp were buried somewhere in the depths of this elaborate structure somewhere but he couldn’t be sure. A quick glance at the kitchen revealed the chairs missing from the small table as well. 

You sat aside, poised on your knees and holding up the flap that made up the entrance to your blanket palace. With a mischievous grin, Cassian crawled on his hands and knees into the depths of the fort. 

Soft light glowed from strands of fairy lights that you had draped over the structural components of the fort. A mound of pillows were piled in the open center creating a cozy nest. You had thought of everything. On one side of the pillows sat a serving tray full of both of your favorite snacks. On the other, Cas spied two large bowls of popcorn along with a makeshift ice bucket full of drinks. 

As he settled himself into the well of softness he noticed the warm light of a crackling fireplace, looping on repeat on your laptop screen. Crawling in next to him you pulled out the card you had written out just minutes ago. 

“And for your viewing pleasure.” You handed him the carefully curated list of the planned holiday movie marathon.

Taking it from you, Cassian scanned the list with a soft chuckle. “Ahh – I see your choice is first. Isn’t that the one with that elf you have a crush on?”

Another flash of color swept over your cheeks as you laughed. “What can I say? The pointed ears do it for me.”

Cas tipped his back with a punch of a laugh. “Noted.”

“But look –” you said, pointing an elegant finger at the list in his hand. “Right after that one is your favorite, which I still insist is not a Christmas movie.”

“Die Hard is absolutely a Christmas movie,” he grinned as he snagged a popcorn bowl before passing the other one to you.

“Whatever,” you sighed, rolling your eyes dramatically.

“Besides, you’ll probably be asleep 20 minutes into it anyway.” He winked as he tossed the first piece of popcorn in his mouth.

“Come on, get cozy already.” You teased with a jab of your elbow into his ribs. “The movie is about to start.”

As Cassian shimmied himself deeper into the nest of pillows, you leaned over to queue up the movie. As you flopped back into your spot, his muscled arm draped itself over your shoulders pulling you closer to him.

Settled into the radiating warmth of your partner, the two of you enjoyed the movie in a relaxed silence. It didn’t matter how many times over the years that you had watched this movie, you loved it even more every time, even if the cute 500 year old elf was one of the biggest reasons. 

By the time the end of the movie came, both popcorn bowls had ended up nestled next to Cas after he unceremoniously abducted yours halfway through. Cassian had slowly slumped his way into a relaxed stretch as the movie progressed and you snuggled closer, draping your limbs to tangle with his. 

Your leg now laid over his large thigh, head resting against his hard chest. Cas’s hand from the arm he had pulled over your shoulders now gently ran over top of your hair, fingertips dragging lightly across your hairline.

“Mmm,” you hummed as your eyes felt heavier with each pass. “Keep doing that and I really will fall asleep.”

A soft huff of a laugh sounded from his chest beneath your ear. “You were asleep already. I heard you snoring.”

Shoving up quickly into a sitting position you unleashed a dramatic shocked face in his direction. “I do not snore! And I wasn’t asleep.” You insisted as you landed a playful slap to his shoulder. Leaning forward towards the laptop screen, you shuffled over to the next movie, Cassian’s favorite.

Almost exactly 20 minutes later, Cas paused his gentle stroking of your hair and listened to the soft sounds of your breathing, punctuated with the occasional quiet snore. Reaching out with one sock clad foot, he toed the top of the laptop closed and plunged the fort into silence.

Moving with slow ease so as not to wake you, Cassian reached over and swiped the blanket wall of the fort aside, tucking it behind one of the stolen kitchen chairs. The move revealed the darkened window, large fat snowflakes swirling in the wind as they fell at an alarming rate. Curling his arm back around your shoulders he started the gentle strokes against your hair as he buried his lips against the crown of your head. 

Soon the low, whispered notes of his voice in song crept into the silence of the padded walls.

“And since we’ve no place to go. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”
