The chill winter evening wind whistles around the eaves as you arrive home after a long double shift. You step inside and take off your jacket when you hear the pitter patter of hurried footsteps behind you. With your jacket hung you turn around just in time to see a rogue pidgebi barreling directly towards you. She lunges and clamps onto you with all fours, almost toppling the both of you over and burying her face in your chest. She squeezes tightly and you can hear her muffled voice telling you how much she's missed you, she knows you've had a rough day, so she's prepared a little surprise just for you. She hesitantly lets go, holds out her hand and leads you into the lounge where the fireplace is already crackling and spilling warmth into the room. She sits you down with a blanket around your shoulders and disappears into the kitchen for a few moments. When she returns she's carrying two steaming mugs of hot cocoa which she deposits neatly on the coffee table beside you. She snuggles up beside you with a contented sigh, her head resting on your shoulder. You bundle the blanket snugly around the two of you, your arms wrapping around her, the heat radiating off her smol body filling the blanket bubble making it all nice and cozy. With a gentle kiss on her forehead you tell her how much you love her and appreciate all of this. You cuddle and sip your cocoa, a low, whispered conversation continuing well into the night until she falls asleep in your lap and with the fire still so warm you decide to rest your eyes for just a few moments too...
