*The two huddled close in the cave, too close. Under her mask, Ling feels herself heat up. Helpful during the cold storm, but none of that was going through her mind right now.*

*All she could think about was Machi right next to her. The okamimi wagging her tail, her ears twitching, Ling instinctively began to fluff both of them.*

"Huh? Oh, y-yeah, I'm good. We should huddle to stay warmer."

*WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING???!!!*

*The macen internally screams as she makes her move, moving closer to Machi, increasing the contact between the two. She was so warm, her fluffiness only amplifying it.*

*The Okamimi began to let off yips and happy barks as her ears and tails were fluffed. She leaned into Ling's touch, and she relaxed more, as she felt happier with Ling fluffing.*

"Yeah. Huddle for warmth."

*Machi said, bowing her head a little. She was glad she had her mask to hide her reddened face as it is, she's entirely embarrassed as it is.*

"A very good idea... And hopefully we'll be comfortable enough for the night."

*She said, thinking over what she said, knowing that they likely would, and questioned why she had hoped for it.*
Lynn
*As the two shared their warmth, the constant patter of the rain eventually mellowed out into almost a soothing trance. Ling's eyes gradually closed, her hand behind Machi's head, formerly rubbing her ears.*

```Morning```

*As Ling awakened, her position wasn't exactly the most comfortable. Resting directly on the hard stone floor, and her arm was asleep, supporting Machi's head and neck with it. She didn't want to move it though; the sleeping Okamimi was adorable.*

*"Don't be a creep, Ling."*

*But the Air Macen couldn't resist. Gently, she rubs Machi's ears, caressing the soft, silky fur.*
Micheal
*Machi relaxed, as Ling drifted to sleep, and soon the Okamimi would drift off to sleep. She would relax as sleep came to her, ultimately.*

*When morning came, she stirred a little, as she felt her ears would be caressed. She slowly opened her eyes. She yipped happily, and let off a soft, tired bark as she was waking up.*

"Mm... H-huh?"

*She yawned, looking around, and smiled as she spotted Ling.*

"Good morning..."

*She yawned again, her tails wagging, as she leaned up to stretch herself awake.*
