You wake up in Alex's bed, with Alex beside you. He is wide awake. He smiles at you when he realises you have woken up.
"I'm sorry," is the first thing he says. He puts his hand on your face and strokes your cheek with his thumb.
"For what?" you ask, in your raspy morning voice.
He pulls the covers over you both a little more, as his house was a little chilly.
"For ignoring you for six months" he says, taking his hand off your cheek to hold your hand. He realises that your hand is freezing.
"Are you cold?" he asks. You notice purple bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep hes been getting.
"A little" you say. He cocoons you with his duvet and pulls you closer to him so his chin is on your head. He wraps his arms around you and sighs.
"It is pretty cold, isn't it?" he says.
You look up at him and he looks down at you, he kisses your nose, then your cheek, then your lips and then cuddles you close and you both drift off to sleep again.
