You blinked yourself awake at the sweltering heat surrounding you. Wait … It’s winter. Why is it hot? Then you looked around yourself to find the source of the warmth only to be greeted by two heads of red hair draped across your legs. Oh yeah … you thought as you recalled the night before.
It was Christmas Eve, so you and Jason had invited Roy and Kori over to celebrate the holiday privately before heading over to the much larger (and mildly unpleasant) celebration at Wayne Manor. Apparently the movie marathon had left everyone much more tired than you’d expected because you’d all fallen asleep on the pile of blankets you’d set up on the living room floor. And now that you recalled that, you realized that it was just Roy and Kori lying on you that was causing you to be so warm.
“You awake?” Jason’s sleep-rough voice called your attention upwards to where his face was. You’d seemingly dozed off with your head resting on his stomach as he lay perpendicular to you.
“Yeah,” you mumbled back, enjoying the way his hand ran through your hair. “A little warm, though.”
He chuckled quietly. “Kori’ll do that to ya.”
“You sayin’ I’m not hot, Jay?” Roy demanded, calling attention to where he was mock-glaring at his best friend.
Jason scoffed. “As if.”
“I’m saying you’re both a bit too hot,” you complained as you started trying to scoot yourself out from under them. You managed to get free from Roy, who simply inch-wormed his way up to claim one of Jason’s legs as his pillow, but Kori was still firmly attached to you in her sleep.
“I think you’re gonna be stuck with your leach, there, for a while, babe,” Jason informed you, mirth in his tone.
You shrugged. “There are worse things than having a gorgeous alien princess clinging to you,” you announced. Besides, with Roy off of you, there was at least a breeze cooling you off a little. “Merry Christmas, guys.”
“Merry Christmas, sweetheart,” Roy muttered, clearly almost asleep once more.
“Merry Christmas, baby,” Jason echoed, hand still carding through your hair as you, too, started drifting off again.
