Living in an old, beautiful castle is a scenario that could be taken right out of my wildest fantasies, but even the things that I have longed for in my dreams have their downsides. The poorly insulated windows allow the air that is twirling around the thick walls to seep into the room, and as I turn over in the bed and the cover is pulled off of my body, I am instantly woken up by the chill air that raises goosebumps all over my skin. Despite the thick and cozy sweater that I have stolen out of Fred's wardrobe, the temperature in the tower is freezing and I'm surprised that not even the heat from his body is keeping me warm.

The mystery of the cold is quickly explained as soon as I notice the emptiness on the other side of the bed. After blinking a few times to adjust my eyes to the morning sun that is seeping through the glass to dance over the floor, I look around the room to discover that Fred has already left without waking me up. It takes a moment before I realise that I'm alone, since George and Lee are nowhere to be seen either, and I honestly find it both strange and annoying that none of them had considered that they weren't the only ones who had to get to class.

Just as I'm about to get out of bed, I notice the orange notebook that Fred gave me for Christmas laying next to me on the pillow where Fred usually has his face buried in the mornings. The golden string that serves as a bookmark has been placed between two of the pages, instead of in the middle of the notebook where it had been laying ever since he gave it to me. As soon as I open it, a smile creeps out over my lips when my eyes move across the message written in Fred's unexpectedly beautiful handwriting.

Good morning tiny,

Tried my best to "forget" about practice but someone (George) wouldn't let me, sorry if I haven't come back before you wake up. You have no idea how hard it is to leave when you're still here, and in case I haven't told you - I fall in love with you more every single day.

I'm definitely going to need a shower after practice, wait for me so we can save some water...

I'll see you soon xx

By the way, you talk in your sleep... and for the record, I never want to be without you either

The muscles in my cheeks almost feel sore from the wide grin that has spread across my face along with the warmth of blushing from the sweetness that has been poured into the words. The way that he constantly goes out of his way to do these little things to make me happy makes me wonder why I of all people am the one to call him mine.

Especially when I'm just about the only one who doesn't deserve to do so.

Every time that I feel the happiness and the love that consumes everything that I am just by Fred being him and the privilege of having him close to me, that fills my mind with what feels like a galaxy of burning suns and endless laughter, it doesn't take long before the guilt is there to remind me that it should belong to someone else. That he deserves the same thing in return, and that not too long from now I'm going to have to cause him a feeling that has nothing in common with the ones he makes me feel. 

"Morning" Lee's raspy voice suddenly says from across the room as he walks out of the bathroom.

"Oh, hey" I say as I try to wipe the blushing off of my face, "I didn't know you were still here"
