Movie Night

Summary:

You come home from work and have a LotR movie night with Harry. Can be read as platonic. No pronouns are used for the reader.

Notes:

Hey there! This is my first published fic on Tumblr or AO3, I hope you like it! I did not include any pronouns for the reader, so hopefully you can enjoy this fic whoever you are. Feedback is appreciated, but not necessary.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Your stiff fingers, red from the cold, fumbled with your metal keys. You couldn't wait to get inside of your nice, warm, apartment after being at work for the last 10 hours. You had to work late to cover for your coworker who was out to take her kid to a dental appointment.

"Finally," you muttered, scooping up the 2 pizza boxes from where you put them behind you, and opening the door. Your keys clattered against your roommates in the dish you kept for them beside the door, telling you he was home.

"Harry!" you called, then lowered your voice to a normal volume when you saw him standing in the doorway, "I brought pizza. Wanna watch LotR tonight?"

He grunted a "Sure" and walked out of the room to grab some blankets for the two of you to snuggle under. The two of you had always been affectionate, but not in a romantic way. He was your best friend, and though you found each other attractive when you met, you grew so close eventually that you saw him as more of a brother than anything.

Within 15 minutes the smell of your favorite pizza was filling the room. Harry had returned with the blankets and had pulled up the first LotR movie for the two of you to watch. "Yeh comin?"

Jeez, you thought, he looked just as tired and bedraggled as you felt. His hair was sticking up in odd places, and he hadn't shaved in a bit, but you couldn't wish for better company. He held the blanket open for you and you handed him his pizza as you sat down. He placed a kiss on the top of your head. "Thanks."

Once the two of you had disposed of a box and a half of pizza, you were well into the movie, and having just the relaxing time that you needed. You leaned against his side, and vaguely felt his arm wrap around your shoulders as you struggled to keep your eyes open. "Yeh fallin' asleep on me, y/n?" he questioned, laughter in his voice, "Thought you'd at least make it half an hour through."

"M' not sleeping..." you slurred. He only chuckled in response.

"Course not."

You glared at him, but said nothing so you could hear the movie. You felt his chest move with his suppressed laughter, and you could see him smiling above you. You smiled a little bit too.

The next thing you were aware of was being laid down in your bed, Harry pulling a blanket over you. "Shit."

"I told yeh you were fallin asleep. But did you listen to me? Noooo-"

You laughed and weakly swatted at him, who easily blocked your hands. "I had a long day okay! But I'm sorry you had to finish the movie alone though."

"'S okay. I just turned it off anyway," he muttered with a shrug.

"Mm. Okay." Your eyes were closing again.

"G'night." You heard him leave the room and switch off the light, the door closing behind him.

"G'night," you mumbled into your pillow.

Notes:
