bad day? - remus lupin
“’mmmmmh” even your whine sounded pouty, it was drawn out, your nose rubbing onto his sweater in restlessness and your head was buried in remus’ chest, slightly muffling the sound.
“i know baby, i know” he cooed sympathetically down at you, this has been going on for the most part of the day now, you woke up with the sniffles, you’d stubbed your toe at least 3 times during the day, and at lunch somebody spilt their pumpkin juice all over you, you were done with today, and remus knew it.
“’m'tired remmy” you pulled your head out of his chest for a moment to look at him, your pout not at all gone, and your eyes were all glassy with fatigue and tears.
“i know dolly” remus favoured this nickname for you when you were feeling not so good, you looked like a little doll to him when you were like this, your wide glazed eyes and your lips pulled into a little sulk, trying to get as close to him as you possibly could.
“why don’t we lie down and you can rest those little eyes, hm?” he smiled softly at you, his eyes never once leaving yours.
“mm” your voice was high and you lightly shrugged your shoulders, you looked down all too shy with the eye contact at the moment and used what was left of your energy to find his hand to hold your own, holding remmy’s hand was one of your favourite things to do.
“c'mon sweet girl” he said softly, almost a whisper. he gently pulled you off his lap for a moment so he could rest you down properly under the covers, and once he did that he layer right down next to you. you adjusted yourself so your head was once again buried in remus’ chest and your arm was resting over his waist his hand rested over your own, legs all twisted together as you both got comfortable.
“love you remmy” you said softly, seconds away from sleep
“i love you sweetheart, i’ll be right here when you wake up okay darling?” you just nodded your head tiredly with an almost inaudible hum and cuddled impossibly closer to your boyfriend who had the natural body temperature of a furnace, which you quite enjoyed, especially on cold nights like these.
he pressed a kiss to your head and after making sure you’d gotten to sleep, he allowed himself to shut his eyes and smile softly to himself as he realised he had his whole world in his arms.
