The fight had been over something so small, a bicker over the dishes left in the sink after dinner, and after a long day you had snapped at Harry, and he didn’t respond too well either. He got this way often when he was deeply bothered or upset, and you took that as a better sign than anger. The look in his eyes was unreadable - you weren’t sure if he was annoyed or warmed by your presence. “We haven’t spoken since the fight.” His voice was low, with almost no tone - emotionless. He sits up on the couch, running his hand through his messy hair. “Come back to bed, please,” you shuffled closer to him as you spoke. His head popped up, unruly curly hairs sticking out in every direction, a sign of his restless sleep.

“Harry?” you whispered it so quietly, he was almost unsure if he heard properly. His body was stretched across the entire length of the couch, and a small blanket was draped over his legs. He didn’t appear to be sleeping well, either, as he tossed and turned on the couch, little huffs of annoyance falling from his lips.

You quietly made your way downstairs, heart breaking at the sight of your love. You shuffled out of bed and the hardwood floors, you realized, were even colder. Now you were beginning to regret things, and you were willing to swallow your pride if it meant having his warm body back in bed with yours. Harry opted to sleep on the couch, vowing to give you space after a fight this big. Or perhaps what was keeping you awake was your mind, running a million miles an hour following the blow up fight you and Harry just experienced, which is what led to you sleeping in bed alone, and cold. And it was keeping you awake, going on an hour now. You weren’t sure what it was - the thermostat being too low, not enough blankets, not enough clothes, maybe the beginning of catching something, or maybe the absence of Harry’s body in bed, but no matter what you did y ou could not get warm. In which you can’t sleep because you’re cold and Harry’s asleep on the couch. Tags: fluff, lil bit of angst word count: 0.9k+
