Love Is Deaf - R.J Lupin

V - Someone got lucky last night

She was sleeping, her night usually was dreamless, but today it was the opposite for Cecilia. She had the nightmare which had tormented her for thirteen years. It was worse at first, she could not sleep with every night the same torment. Recently, she only has it once or twice per month, but it is still as bad. She suddenly woke up in shock and did not know where she was. After a few seconds of looking around, she remembered going to school and everything that had happened.

Going back to sleep now was impossible. Usually, she would go to her parent's bed and sleep thereafter one of these nightmares, but that was not possible anymore, so she went to the common room and sat there in front of the fireplace. She sat there for ten minutes and just looked into the fire while taking her thoughts away from her trauma.

Late night snack? She saw someone coming from the portrait hole and looked up to see two familiar eyes holding chocolates and a cup of tea.

"I'd love some. Where have you been?"

Went to the kitchen for some snacks and candy, you can always trust the elves for some late-night candy.

He went up to her and gave her a slab of chocolate. She thanked him and continued to look into the fire when he nudged her arm.

Can't sleep?

No, I usually, when I have my nightmares, go to my parents' bed. It is the only place I can sleep after then, but that is not really possible anymore.

Well, I was gonna go to sleep myself, you can always sleep in my bed if you'd like. If it's not too weird that is...

I'd... Love that, thank you.

The two of them stood up and went to his room together. He opened the door for her and she stepped inside. The room had many lit scented candles, giving off a smell of firewood and cinnamon. The walls were filled to the brim with books, from fantasy to love novels to "A History of Magic". It was truly a magical sight, the whole room looked so cozy and it really felt like home.

"Can I?" I motioned for the bed and he just gave her a motion as if saying "after you".

She jumped into the bed and made herself comfortable under the covers. The whole bed smelled like him; Chocolate, old books, and cinnamon.

Are you comfortable yet?

"Super!" He laughed at her and took a place next to her, also under the covers. She smiled up at him and scooted closer to him, but not touching yet. She could drown in this smell, it was so intoxicating, but also the best smell in the world.

Cecilia fell asleep in only a second, but Remus was kept awake by the sight of her sleeping face and cute hair. She was truly gorgeous. Her hair smelled like strawberries and ice cream, probably a special mad shampoo, and he drowned himself in the scent.

After a few minutes, in her sleep, she leaned in closer to him and put her face on his chest. He sucked in a breath when she wrapped an arm around his waist and made herself even more comfortable. He smiled to himself and put his arm around her and fell asleep quickly.

She had never felt this comfortable before. The smell filled her body and she just leaned into it more and put her leg around something. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times because she was hugging a man... More precisely, Remus f-ing Lupin. She blinked a few more times and saw that her leg was around his and her arm around his waist. All night she had been laying, hugging him, on his chest and she felt more embarrassed than ever before.
