The caress that Harry bestowed upon him was brief, yet it still sent a shiver down Draco’s spine. It didn’t make him lose focus on his work, but it would be a lie to say that he didn’t wish that Harry would stick along a little longer, if only for him to keep touching him.<br/>“G’night,” Draco managed, unsure how much Harry would actually have heard of it.<br/>Still not in possession of a watch, and unable to properly see one of the ones he knew that he had in the study, most of them were cursed and might not be on time anyway, Draco didn’t know how long he kept working after Harry left. All he knew was that he was greatly distracted by Harry’s absence, the ghost of his touch still lingering at the back of his neck.<br/>Eventually, Draco realised that he couldn’t keep working.<br/>It was the first time since the objects had been wheeled  into the study that Draco could even fathom that something else could be more important, but right in that moment Draco knew that it was.<br/>Having gotten used to having Harry around, and the casual touches that followed with that; the soft caress had made Draco realise just how much he had missed it in the week that he had been working so much.<br/>It was exactly because of that that Draco found himself leaving the study, only to make his way to Harry’s room, rather than his own.<br/>It seemed silly and likely far too much, making Draco hesitate a moment in front of Harry’s door, unsure if he would even be welcome after such a long break in them being affectionate. Then again, Draco couldn’t bear to not be close to Harry again, a small part of his brain pointing out what a terrible idea that made the entire ordeal as he opened the door and entered the room.<br/>Deciding not to think too much of just how messed up he was, Draco instead prepared to get under the covers with Harry, regretting that he hadn’t at least went past his own room to grab a pyjamas, but figured that this would do just fine.<br/>It was with the heart in his throat that he finally allowed himself to cuddle close to Harry, who seemed to be fast asleep by now, making Draco realise that he had probably been working a lot longer than he thought he had.
