omg i'm updating again? well it's been a while i'm so sorry guys i just haven't had the motivation to update but here y'all go *this is unedited so i'm sorry if there's any errors in spelling or grammer

my boyfriend was fast asleep next to me, his arm wrapped around me from behind, resting on my stomach. i could feel his chest rise and fall from his soft breathing. he seemed so peaceful, yet i couldn't fall asleep. 

it was currently two in the morning and the exhaustion was really starting to get to me. maybe if i got some fresh air, i thought. and so, i carefully detangle myself from draco's comforting grip. i didn't want to wake him, so i moved slowly and i was careful not to make any sudden movements that could cause him to wake up. 

after successfully removing myself from his arms, i turn to look at him before leaving the room. he really slept like a baby: his hair was in his face, his bare torso covered by the blanket but his arms poked out, hugging a pillow i had put in place of myself to make sure he didn't wake up. 

i tip-toe out of his bedroom, my feet leading me to a large window with a seat. i sat down and opened the window, allowing the cool, crisp air inside. it was cold, but the fresh air through my lungs helped me relax a bit. i focus my gaze on the stars. they'd always fascinate me. 

i sat there for a half hour before contemplating on whether or not i should go back. what if i wake up draco? would he be annoyed that i woke him up? my thoughts were interrupted when a pair of arms grabbed me from behind and a warm body snuggled close to me. 

"love, aren't you cold?" draco's voice carried obvious signs of sleepiness. "and what in merlin's beard are you doing up at this hour?" 

"i couldn't sleep. decided to get some fresh air." i mumble, sleep obvious in my voice too. 

"you could have woken me up." he spoke softly. 

"draco you looked so peaceful. so i decided not to bother you." 

"you wouldn't have bothered me. i would have helped you fall asleep." he placed a kiss to the back of my head, then nuzzling his nose into my hair. "your hair smells nice." he mumbled before whispering, "let's go back to bed, love." 

his arms unwrapped themselves from around my body to close the window. he backed up slightly. "baby. let's go. you need to sleep love." he said gently, offering me his hand. i took it and we went upstairs. 

as soon as we both were inside draco's bedroom, he closed the door, laid down on the bed and opened his arms, signaling for me to cuddle with him. my tired body slowly moved so i was in draco's arms, laying on top of his chest. he pressed a soft kiss to my forehead before whispering, "go to sleep. i love you." 

i remember mumbling a soft "i love you too" before i fell asleep. 

the next morning i woke, still wrapped up in my boyfriend's arms. i knew i slept better last night than in the last few months where i had been experiencing the struggle to fall asleep. draco was awake, gazing at me. "did you sleep well darling?"

i nod before closing my eyes again, wanting to savor every moment of this. he chuckled, sending vibrations throughout his body. i sigh, happy to feel the at-home feeling which i hadn't felt in a while. 

okayyy so what did you guys think? maybe this'll give me more motivation to write
