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.

[ It seems they're stuck in a cavern somewhere, a blizzard roaring outside with no signs of calming down any time soon. And Sakura's just finished setting up a fire to keep the two of them at least marginally warm. It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing.
And she plops down next to it, seemingly exhausted, but her current state is more caused by how cold it is rather than any sort of physical fatigue. Ugh, she's not dressed for weather like this!!
And she groans out a sigh. ]
Ugh, this is ridiculous. Where did this weather even come from, anyway?
[ It's probably Naruto's fault. Somehow. ]
no subject
[ Naruto doesn't know where the blizzard came from either, all he knows is that it must be some freak of nature, because he and Sakura are talented ninja who would have the foresight to pack their thick travelling cloaks if such a happening was predictable, right? Right.
Naruto scoots a little closer to the fire, moving his legs so that the only part of him that really feels the cold - his exposed ankles and toes - can feel the warm coming off the fire. He's probably more in danger of setting himself alight like this but... would that really surprise anyone? ]
How long do ya think it'll last? I wanna get back before tomorrow, y'know, I got a coupon that expires.
[ Priorities.]
no subject
You're unbelievable ... [ A coupon?? Seriously?? ] How should I know? It's obviously not natural. [ Whatever's causing this blizzard ... Sakura would have definitely had the foresight to bring her cloak, though she can't really be sure about Naruto. ]
Just focus on keeping warm, would you? [ And tacking this on because she's noticed how close you got to the fire, idiot: ] And don't get too close or you'll catch fire.
no subject
I'm warmin' up! Almost can't feel the cold at all, y'know!
[ Her point about catching fire is pretty fair, though, so he scoots a bit backwards. This brings him in better view of his companion, and he tilts his head as he looks at her. After a long moment of silence - which is probably the most unbelievable thing about this evening - he reaches a fire-warmed hand over to her and smiles. ]
Look see, I'm plenty warm. Come sit with me an' get warm too, huh?
no subject
But she looks at him when he offers for her to sit with him, her expression changing to something somewhat suspicious — only half serious. ]
You're not looking to try anything, are you?
[ Half of her knows he wouldn't but the other half knows he's dumb enough to. ]
no subject
Try anythin'? [ For a moment or two he doesn't know what she could be referring to, but then the suspicious look on her face clocks with him and his mouth downturns. ] Hey, what? Nah, I'm just sayin' we should share the fire. We dunno how long we're gonna be in here, it could be a while. An' you've told me before that the closer it gets to night time the colder it gets, y'know.
[ Listen, he might be a knucklehead but he listens sometimes. ]
You're pretty an' all, Sakura-chan, but I know you'll punch me in the head if I did anythin' stupid. [ He smiles, in that disarmingly honest way. ]
no subject
She gives a soft smile in response, completely content with his words, and moving over to sit next to him. ]
All right, all right. Can't argue with that.
[ Moving to rub her gloved hands on her arms, hoping to warm them up a bit, as she tucks her knees up against herself. Super not dressed for this weather. ]
Man, if it's already this cold now, then I'm not looking forward to night time. You've got the right idea, wearing a jacket all the time. I might have to rethink my fashion choices when we get back.
[ That's half a joke, she likes her clothing, but if random snow storms are going to show up out of no where ...!! ]
no subject
Yeah, but sometimes it gets too hot an' I gotta keep takin' it off at home, y'know? An' if I get it wet it gets real heavy. I think ya look fine, Sakura-chan, it's just cos it's cold right now, right?
[ An idea strikes him, and he unzips his jacket half way down. ]
Do ya wanna borrow it for a bit? Take it like me sayin' sorry for leadin' us the wrong way back there an' slowin' us down.
[ Even if he hadn't they still probably would have got caught up in this freak storm but.. details. ]
