Dunia was wondering something one night when she was supposed to be asleep. Did Nura have a crush on her? She kinda hoped she did. Nura showed signs, like when she grabbed her hand she always had the tiniest blush on her cheek and had the cutest expression like she was getting caught eating sugar— to be honest, all her facial expressions are super cute. Maybe she was just surprised and Dunia was being delusional, but come on! You can't blame her. The girl is adorable!
Dunia had to do something to at least get a tiny hint! She then glanced at the girl laying down beside her. She wasn't asleep yet. Her eyes were closed and she was humming a rock song softly while nodding her head up and down. The moonlight— that got in because of the hole in their shelter— was kissing her features, shining on her silver piercings that Dunia just oh, so, adores. She could feel the butterflies flying around already. Damn, she's down bad.
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. Dunia looked at her mischievously.
Nura was thinking about how cold it was, “I really wish I had something to warm me up, maybe like blan—” Nura was snapped out of her thoughts when she was suddenly pulled into a hug.
Nura opened her eyes and saw Dunia and immediately started blushing. She could smell Dunia's vanilla scent, contrasting her magnolia that smelled like it was dipped in gasoline like scent. She could feel their bodies touching. Dunia's skin felt soft and warm. Is this what the universe gave her when she sought warmth? God, she needs to be more specific next time.
“What are you doing?” Nura asked, whispering. Dunia let out a quiet giggle, seeing how adorable her face was.
“What? I can't hug my dear familiar now?” She emphasized "dear" to tease her, Nura opened her mouth to protest but could roll her eyes and huff. Dunia smiled seeing this.
Nura was going insane feeling Dunia's hot breath down her neck. She tried to squirm her way out but got hugged tighter. Nura realized that there wasn't anything she could do to get out. She rolled onto her side, facing Dunia. Damn, she was really pretty up close. Suddenly, an icy breeze passed by them. Nura shivered from the cold. Dunia noticed this.
“Wait, give me a second.” Dunia paused her embrace with Nura for a second and sat up. Nura could've taken this chance to get away from her. Stop the torture that was so addictive, but she didn't. Instead she simply used it to button her jacket. She watched Dunia take off her cardigan, leaving her in just her top and bracelets. The light shone on her bare arms, Nura stared at her in amazement. Dunia noticed this.
“Take a picture honey, it'll last longer.” She teased, Nura looked away, blushing, embarrassed she got caught. She let out a nervous giggle.
“Why’d you take off your cardigan? Won't you be cold?” She asked, changing the subject. “I noticed you were cold so I'm gonna use my cardigan as a makeshift blanket.” Nura didn't speak but her smile told everything words couldn't.
They laid down once again, Dunia spread out her cardigan so they could share. Nura's arm finally wrapped around her body, no longer flustered. They shared a warm embrace for the rest of the night. Faint smiles tugging at their lips. They didn't confess to each other about how they felt for no words needed to be exchanged.

Ren came back from fishing, hoping to ask Dunia something. They were surprised to see Dunia twirling Nura's locs while the other was hugging her, a small smile on her face. Ren looked at Dunia with confusion as she just put a finger on her lips, signaling to be quiet so Nura wouldn't wake up.
