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.

Eddie Kaspbrak | It (book-adult)

idk

[ Eddie and Bill ended up as roommates in college. It's not totally by coincidence, they'd definitely angled for it once they got accepted to the same school. There'd been no guarantee, though.

But, now it's dead winter and the heater is out and it's freezing...

Bill had talked to maintenance already and they had said it could be hours before it's fixed -- maybe longer.

He's not particularly looking forward to when Eddie gets back -- there will probably be a long breakdown about pneumonia in his future. ]

(Truthfully, Eddie wasn't so sure he would have ever been able to room with a complete stranger. At least by now, he knew Bill's habits and baisc hygienic principals to not sweat sharing a space with him.

Being a poor college kid? It's just about one of the shittiest things. It was end of the semester just about. Which meant Eddie was worked over (just like everyone else on campus) with papers and projects, so when he arrives back at their place and realizes that stepping inside felt barely any different than standing outside?

Oh yeah, there was an issue. He stops just in the doorway, frozen mid-way through pulling off his jacket. His mouth pinches into a frown.)

Bill? Why's it so cold in here?

[plaidcharms]

[ Bill is huddled toward one corner of his bed with all his blankets wrapped around him an a textbook and notebook spread open on the bed in front of him. He's clearly already been suffering the cold of the room for a while. He probably should have spent some of that time in the warm library but he hadn't really thought it through at the time. ]

The heater's broken... Maintenance is trying to get it fixed but...

[ There's a pause. ]

It might be a while...

(Eddie stares at Bill, stares at the ceiling, and then closes his eyes. This was honestly the last thing he felt like dealing with. He keeps his shoes by the door and walks across the room, already regretting not being in something way warmer.)

Okay. Okay fine.

(Muttering lowly. He pulls off his jacket, and the clothes underneath. His pants were wet from snow, and that wasn't going to help him any. He tugs on a fresh shirt, some sweats, and the pair of socks he got that were wool to go hiking with. He pulls on a hoodie, and goes to his own bed. He pulls off the blanket, dragging it across the room, and then proceeds to step up onto Bill's bed.)

Move over. (The beds were small and they were gonna have to make this work.)

[plaidcharms]

[ Bill didn't watch everything Eddie was doing, his attention had returned back to his textbook. He had expected some further complaints than Eddie had done and well maybe it's a bit of a relief since there's nothing they could really do about it but wait for everything to get repaired.

He looks up when Eddie gets onto his bed.

Bill doesn't question it and simply grabs his items and moves over to make more room for Eddie. It's not a bad idea he decides. ]

Might be warmer. [ He murmurs. ]

[losvers]

(Sometimes Eddie knew when complaining was pointless and served no function other than to make noise. He had at least gotten better about that since growing up a little bit.

Eddie tucks himself in against Bill's side. It's hardly the first time they've laid in a bed together, and not even the first time doing anything like this. But it was the first time in a while, and he's pretty sure they had been a lot smaller when it last happened. Eddie tucks his face against Bill's shoulder all the same.)

Feels warmer already.

[plaidcharms]

[ Even if it's been a while there's still a comfortableness to it. That's the best thing about having a lifelong friend, you know just how to huddle up together comfortably. The way Eddie settles against him doesn't really impede his movements so he can keep working while they share their body heat. ]

Yeah it is. [ He agrees, a small smile on his lips. ]

What did you do today?
