Work Text:
Arthur laid in bed next to his beloved, he rolled over every now and then.
Paul could not hold in his worry anymore and sat up, staring at his fiancé.
“What is it? I can’t sleep when you keep rolling around like this…”
“Mmm…”
“You cold?”
Paul turned towards the thermostat. Good 28 degrees Celsius. Even he was hot in here, but Arthur was a different case. Watching him shiver even under all these blankets was agonising.
“If I could only help you…”
He laid back down and rolled over, holding his poor fiancé’s hands, he pulled them close to his fcae and breathed on them
Arthur opened his tired golden eyes.
“Dear... would you turn on the thermostat just a bit more… I feel like my body is about to freeze and crumble…”
Paul sighed.
“I’m sorry but if I did I would suffocate in this room… It’s already hard to breathe…”
A quiet shaky whimper escaped Arthur’s lips.
Paul hugged him tighter as to comfort him.
“Do I get you another blanket?”
He shouldn’t do it. Arthur already looked on the verge of burning, but he didn’t know what else would be adequate at the moment. And seeing his fiancé being so uncomfortable just woke up protective feelings inside him.
Arthur shakily nodded; he would do anything just to feel a glimpse of warmth swirling inside of his body…
Paul got up and went searching or another blanket. He went through the whole hiuse just to find… nothing
He went back empty handed
“Sorry…”
He muttered
Arthur shook his head into the mattress
Paul laid down with a sad expression. He then snuggled to Arthur as a way to apologise. To his shock Arthur pulled him on top of himself
“Warm…”
Paul’s cheeks instantly reddened
“A-Arthur!!”
“You’re my blanket now… deal with it…”
Arthur muttered before his golden eyes closed shut, leaving only his eyelids for Paul to admire.
Arthur would never admit it wasn’t warmth he was deprived of that night…
