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.

[Okay, so he wouldn't admit that he was cold and he was trying to hide the shivering, but he certainly wasn't going to turn down the extra warmth being pulled in like that gave him. He curled up as tight as he could to maximize that.]

How long do you think it's going to take?

[And why did they think coming out here with the Lions was a good idea? Even if the Lions had been stranded, Red would have been able to at least keep them warm.]

[Of course Shiro was going to give Keith more blanket. He could feel the teen shivering despite Keith's best efforts not to. Shiro was trying not to shiver as well, but it was a little hard. The blanket was definitely helping at least somewhat]

We have about half a varga until check in. Probably about ten dobashes after that for them to leave the castle. So probably a varga at least until they get within range for us to hear them.

[Keith nodded a little, giving a small sigh. Okay... he could hold out that long, he figured.]

I hope not much longer than that.

[He was quiet for a bit and then glanced at Shiro, visibly concerned.]

Hey... how's your arm? The cold like this can't be good with that metal attached to you.

Yeah, I hope so too.

[Yeah no Shiro was worried about that too. The metal arm would leech his body heat away from it to drawn away]

At the moment, its fine. Keeping my armor over it should help block some of it.

[Keith nodded. He was visibly thinking, considering their position relative to one another. He was on Shiro's left side. After a moment, he moved, getting up.]

Just a tick...

[He shifted over to Shiro's other side.]

Maybe... if we keep it between us, it won't lose heat as fast.

[Now that Keith had brought it up too, Shiro was starting to wonder about his arm. It was basically a giant heat sink and there was enough under the metal case that it would start pulling body heat. He blinked as Keith shifted around to his other side, but when Keith explained, he gave a faint smile]

Yeah, that should help. Thanks.

[Keith nodded, getting settled again, curling back up tightly into a ball again, and helping to shift the blanket in the other direction so that it settled over the two of them well enough.]

There...

[Keith leaned on Shiro, and closed his eyes.]

Thanks. That's better. [Shiro helped tug the blanket tighter around them, Keith helping to block the cold from his metal arm. It might not help completely but it would be better than having it exposed to the cold. Too bad this thing was going to be a problem.

Shiro glanced over at Keith as the teen closed eyes] Let me know if you're getting too cold.

[Keith nodded a little.]

Uh-huh.

[He wasn't much to complain, though. Not like Lance. Keith would more likely fall asleep before he let on that it was getting to him. Either way, he was definitely still more concerned with Shiro and that giant heatsink attached to his right arm than his own well-being.]

[Shiro closed his eyes, keeping the blanket pulled close around them. He was focusing on how he was feeling. He knew the stages of hypothermia and he was trying to make sure that didn't set in while they were waiting for the others come. Maybe it was that weird pessimistic part of him, but wasn't sure if Keith there was helping]

[It was at least worth the attempt, even it might not make all that much of a difference. Keith was still going to do what he could to avoid Shiro going to hypothermia as much as they could possibly avoid it.

After a bit, he started to rub his hands together. Having the hard armor pieces over a good portion of his body made it hard to get any heat anywhere else, though... like his legs or his arms.]

[It was worth the attempt and Shiro was grateful that Keith had thought about it when he had only mildly processed that this might be an issue. So far it didn't really hurt or anything like that, but he was wondering how long it would take.

He opened his eyes hearing Keith rub his hands together]

Hands getting cold?

Yeah, a bit...

[Keith held cupped his hands over his mouth and breathed on them to get them warm. He didn't want to admit that the rest of him was cold, too. He kept himself tightly hunched into a ball under the blanket, leaning against Shiro.]

[Shiro would have put his arm around Keith to pull him a little closer, but the teen was trying to keep Shiro's arm protected from the cold. He appreciated that more than Keith knew. He reached over to put his left hand over Keith's, trying to help add some warmth]

[Keith took in a breath at Shiro's hand going over his own like that, and then he sighed.]

Thanks...

[He was smaller than Shiro, so the cold would get to him pretty fast anyway, and he wasn't used to it, having grown up in the desert. So, while he was trying to avoid Shiro's arm causing his pseudo-brother frostbite and hypothermia, he wasn't exactly holding in much heat on his own, either.]

No problem. It'll be okay. They should be realizing we have no communication soon.

[He leaned a little closer to Keith]

Would you be warmer if you were to sit in front of me? Try to warm you up some.

[Keith frowned a little at the suggestion, trying to picture it. It wasn't working.]

What do you mean?

Like you sit with your back to me. We can try to conserve some heat that way.

[Keith considered it.]

But... what about your arm?

It'll be fine for a bit. If I keep it covered, it should be fine.

[At least that was the hope. He didn't know if it would work that way though]

[Keith hesitated for a moment, and then nodded a little.]

If we need to, we can always put it between us.

[It wouldn't be comfortable, but it would be warm, and that was what was important here.

He shifted, moving around Shiro so he was sitting in front of him. Yeah... this was definitely awkward, but he shoved that feeling down in favor of staying warm and not passing out from hypothermia.]

We can try that. Let's see if we can warm you up first before we try something else.

[Shiro shifted his sitting position so that Keith could sit in front of him, his back pressed against Shiro's chest. Yes, it was awkward, but there weren't many options at the moment. Shiro carefully tucked the blanket back around Keith, covering both of them as much as possible. It also kept his metal arm against Keith so hopefully that and the blanket would keep the metal arm warm]

Okay...

[Keith got in as close as he could, helping pull the blanket tight around them both. Feeling Shiro tuck his arm around him, Keith shifted so he could get it around his waist. Then, he tucked his knees up as close as possible so Shiro's arm was tucked between his legs and his chest.

He was shaking just a bit from the cold, but this was a little a bit warmer this way, and that subsided after a few minutes.]

[At first Shiro wasn’t quite sure what Keith was doing when he shifted his arm lower so it was around his waist, but then when he pulled his knees up, he realized]

Thanks. That helps.

[He could feel Keith shivering against him, but slowly it was beginning to stop. Hopefully that meant he was warming up]

[Keith nodded at the thanks, but he was quiet for now. It was definitely warmer this way, so he just hoped it wouldn't be much longer that they were stranded. He just also really didn't ever want to talk about snuggling with Shiro like this ever again. He wasn't exactly 13 anymore.]
