Work Text:
El couldn’t be more thrilled to hear that not only did she have her day off, but Peter did too. With all the agents working over-time, some were getting time off in case of emergencies or something for them to be called in later. Peter looked positively gleeful as he came in from the cold, taking off his jacket and heading towards her, wrapping her up in a hug and pressing a freezing cold kiss to her.
“Burr, you’re cold!” El said, shivering against him. He was already taking all of her body heat. “How about I make some hot cocoa, and you get the fire started, and we can cuddle and read? I know there’s that latest Tom Clancy novel you’ve been wanting to read sitting at the sofa,” She suggested.
He grinned.
“Sounds perfect,” He agreed, and moved to do just that.
Two hours later, and El was snugged up against her husband-light classical music playing in the background, Satchmo sitting on the end of the sofa keeping her feet warm, snow falling outside on the streets, and a warm fire in winter heating the place up. She smiled at Peter who grinned at her in return, and couldn’t help but feel that everything in that moment was absolutely perfect.
