The Body Heat Meme

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.
Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.
A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!
So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

She smiled and let him lead her over to the tub. She stepped in ahead of him and then sank down slowly into the water with a sigh.

He stepped in behind her and sat down so she could lean back against her.

She scooted back and rested her back against his chest.

"You should've just taken a taxi the rest of the way home," he said after a moment, combing her hair back with his fingers.

"I would have, except they were all full," she said, eyes closing. "Because it was raining."

"Okay, okay," he said with a soft chuckle. He kissed the back of her head. "I'm surprised you went grocery shopping at all after this morning."

"What? You think you wore me out?" she teased. "You went for a run."

He laughed again, louder this time. "Eames was definitely trying to wear you out."

She laughed too.

"He was doing pretty well," she said. "And he probably would have succeeded if it were night time and not morning."

"Mm, very true, let's see what happens tonight," he said with another soft chuckle.

She shook her head and laughed again.

"Already planning?"

"Perhaps." He smirked and the leaned forward to nibble in her ear lobe.

"Mm seems like you might not be able to wait for tonight," she pointed out. "Unless you're just being a tease."

"Don't I always tease you?" He said.

"You do," she said. "But you're usually good on eventually following through."

She threaded her fingers with his.

"Mmm." He kissed the back of her ear before leaning his head back against the tub.

She smiled and leaned back against him, relaxing with a sigh.

After a while, the water grew cold, and Arthur nudged her. "Let's get out."

"Mmm, okay," she said as she sat up before getting her feet under her to stand up out of the water.

Arthur pulled the plug and let the water drain. It was significantly warmer in the apartment now since Arthur had adjusted the thermostat.

She grabbed them each a towel and dried herself off. She definitely felt a lot better than before.

"Thanks for warming me up," she said to him before kissing his cheek.

"You're welcome." He kissed her shoulder and then stepped out of the tub, drying off his body and then his hair.

She wrapped the towel around her body and then grabbing the hairbrush from the vanity drawer, she started combing out her hair in front of the mirror.

Arthur walked past her and into the bedroom to put on some underwear and a t-shirt.

When all the tangles were out of her hair, she went out and pulled on a t-shirt and sweatpants.

"We're not planning on leaving the apartment again today, right?" she asked. She hoped anyway. She was dressing for the couch.
