*Footfalls in snow*

You're alright, you're alright... We're almost there. Keep clenching your fingers and toes, keep the circulation up... Just a few more steps.

*Door opens and closes*

Don't stop yet! We need to warm you up. Come on, to your room.

No! No shower! It's too sudden. Better to get you in a bed.

We need to get you out of these clothes.

*Jacket zipper*

Oh come on, I'm just helping. You'll never warm up in wet clothes.

Fine fine, but I'll do the fiddly bits, we don't have time for your frozen fingers to manage.

*Jeans zipper*

Get started on your shirt while I get rid of your shoes.

*Grunts, mumbling*

There, they're off. Get the rest off - all of it - and get into bed. If you can't get something off tell me and I'll do it. I'll go look for blankets and stuff.

*Pause*

*Footsteps on floor*

This should help. You naked under there? Promise? Good. Curl up and keep flexing those fingers and toes. I'll be right back.

[She asks if you're angry at her]

*Soft voice* Hey, hey, I'm sorry. I'm just worried. I didn't mean to... *sigh* Of course I'm not mad, it was an accident. It happens. I'm just trying not to think of what could have happened and to make sure you're alright. And like... I've had this sort of drilled into me, you know?

Who cares who said what? You went through the ice and now we'll get you warm again, that's all that matters, okay? I'm gonna go see if I can find a hot water bottle or something to help warm you up. I'll be right back. Try to stay awake, okay? Okay.

*Long Pause*

Hey, still awake? Great. So I couldn't find anything to help, but I had an idea. I'm gonna get in with you.

*Rustling - shirt removed*

Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm just gonna lie on the other side of the bed, okay? Just to warm up the bed for you. But it'll work better if I'm not wearing so many clothes. I'll leave my boxers on and just... be warm I guess, okay?

It's either that or I just sit here staring at you, wishing you warmer. And I mean, we've known each other for ages, right? You know I'm not gonna do anything weird. I just want to help.

Okay.

*Rustling - rest of clothes, getting into bed*

There. I'll just stay over here.

Would you mind giving me your hand?

Oh God, you're so cold... I'll just cover it with mine and warm it up, yeah? Fingers and toes aren't safe yet.

Hmm? Oh I used to go icefishing with my Granddad. He made damn sure we knew all this stuff even though he also made sure nobody ever went through.

By not letting anybody on the ice before he could vouch for it, that's how. He went through the ice himself most years, making sure it'd be safe for us grandkids. So what you're going through now? My granddad made it through fine all on his own until his mid-80's. You'll be alright.

Could you give me your other hand? Thanks.

Yeah, I think my hands are cooled off a bit. I'll, uh... I'll just put your hand against my chest.

Ooooh, that's cold. Don't laugh at me! Here I am, working hard to be a human radiator for you, and that's the thanks I get?

Oh come on, you know I'm just kidding. But seriously, you are *really* cold still.

Well, no. I mean, the closer we are the more heat you'll get, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable.

Come closer? You sure? You're safe now, it's not like you'll freeze if we stay like this, it'd just speed things up a bit.

Alright, if you're sure.

*Shuffling*

Is this alright? W-well yeah, closer would be better.

Sure, whatever you want.

*Shuffling*

How about this?

Good.

Of course you were scared, you fell into a frozen lake! I was *terrified* and I just watched! But you're safe now. You'll be alright. And I'll be here as long as you need me, okay?

You're still scared? Me too. Just tell me if there's anything you want me to do to help.

Yeah? What is it?

Hey, hey, it's me. No need to be embarassed. We've talked about all sorts of embarassing things before, right?

You want me to hold you? Of course! What's to be embarassed about that? Won't even be the first hug today.

Ah. True. We were, um, dressed then, huh? No matter. So... how do you want to do this? Face-to-face or face-to-back-of-the-head?

Turn around then.

There we go... This'll help a lot, you know. I can warm your entire back like this. Anyway, here, take my arm and, um, put it around you. I'm not sure exactly how you're lying and don't want to, um, trespass.

Yeah, trespass.

Oh shut up, it's a perfectly good word.

You comfortable? Great.

*Hrrm* I-I'm just, uh, gonna, get a bit more comf-

Oh no, no no no, I'm just gonna shift a little, I'm not going anywhere.

I'd really prefer-

Okay, okay, I'll stay like this.

*Shaky breath, clearing of throat, small noises*

Oh, um, that's, er, that's...

W-well, with your naked butt against me, and, you know, the adrenaline and stuff, and-and I did want to shift away but you told me to stay, um, I'm so sorry, I'll move away

N-no? W-what do you mean no?

You want me to stay like this? Even with... you know...

Yeah sure it's warm, but...
