Linger (h.s)

Home Bound

I swung my legs over the side of my seat, my legs dangling down slightly. Harry left the car running around to my side of the car, he opened the door further than I had and gestured his arms out to grab me. I slid down the side of my seat into the safety of Harry's strong arms. Settling my feet onto the ground and adjusting my breath, I looked up to Harry's beautiful green eyes. He smiled and then his hands slid off my body and he left for the back of the car. I hobbled around the side of the car door, closing it with a thudding sound. Harry followed me up the front stairs, my bag swung over his right shoulder.

"I'll grab a few extra blankets out of the cupboard and I'll meet you upstairs. They say it's meant to get quite cold over the next few nights, so we have to keep you warm" Harry murmured to himself, closing the door. I slowly made my way up the stairs and into Harry's bedroom, he had tidied up which was a bonus. The room was quite cold, I guess the fact that everything was closed up and all of the curtains were shut, wasn't exactly helping. 

I took my shoes off and laid down gently on the bed, not even bothering to move the blanket from underneath me, just laying on top of it. I shut my eyes for a short moment, but opened them shortly once again when I heard the bedroom door close. I gently sat up, propping myself up onto my elbows. Harry plopped an armful of blankets onto the end of the bed. One blanket in particular tickled against the bottoms of my feet, it was fluffy, fur like. I sat up, swinging my left leg over the side of the bed, and crossing my right leg close to my body to gain a little more flexibility to be able to reach the blanket. I grabbed the blanket as Harry watched, he chuckled at me and smiled as I fell back onto the bed. Returning to my original position, but now curled up in the blanket I once again closed my eyes.

"Do you want to have a shower?" Harry's raspy tone questioned.

"Mmmh," I replied stretching out on the bed. I let out a slight 'ouch' sound as I over extended my stomach, which was still very tender.

"Be careful stupid."

"Shut up," I giggled, sitting up once again. I pushed the blanket off of my legs and swung them over the side of the bed. Harry walked across the room, kneeling in front of me on the floor.

"I'm sorry," He whispered resting his head against my chest. I slowly ran my fingers through his locks, untangling them with each stroke.

"I think I might go for a shower," Harry lifted his head up from my chest, a smirk crawling across his cheeks.

"Y'know, if you need any help. I'm available," He winked at me. I giggled before pushing him away from me.

"I think I'm good aha."

"The offer stands whenever you want it to happen."

I lifted my self off the bed, walking to the bathroom and closing the door behind me, but not locking it. I grabbed a towel from the cupboard, placing it on the closed toilet seat then stripped down. The cold air brushed against my bare skin, it was around 4 in the afternoon so it was beginning to become a little chilly. After a few minutes of waiting for the water to turn hotter, I washed my hair with shampoo and began to clean my body. After a few attempts but not being able to bend down and clean my legs with soap and water I gave up.

"Harry!" I called. Within seconds the bathroom door was pushed wide open, a cold drift of window running shivers down my body covering me in goosebumps.

"Close the door you retard, it's freezing!" A chuckle escaped from the other side of the shower curtain.

"This is so not funny."

I heard the door close, and within a second the room became heated once again.

"What did you want?"
