A/N: Recently I've had a serious problem in that I keep starting long and complicated pieces that I eill probably never finish. As a little relief from this, I have written you a short and totally pointless little piece, that I personally find quite sweet, but then it's late and I'm sleepy; I reserve the right not to be in my right mind. Please review, if you have a spare moment. It gladdens my heart to see in my inbox. Feel free to offer constructive criticism, but please do keep in mind that this is probably not my best work.
Enjoy the show, folks!
Insomnia
Harry looked at the clock beside his bed, twitching the curtains back just far enough. It was too dark to read the numbers, but there was definitely an unhealthy look to the postition of the hands. He reached blindly out to the bedside table and groped about for his wand. The now-illuminated hands danced blearily between the two and the three. Ugh. He let the curtain swing back and let himself flop backwards again. He thought he was dreaming (foolish, since he couldn't sleep) - or maybe the lack of sleep was making him hallucinate; he would not be altogether surprised. Or maybe it was... something else. Harry blinked, raised a hand and rubbed his eyes, but words continued to crawl in canary yellow letters across the canopy of his bed: "Can't sleep, Harry Potter?"
Harry stared stupidly at them before stirring himself and tightening his grip on his wand. Beside the first, more bright letters appeared. "No. You?" asked the creeping scarlet words.
"Not a wink." Harry smiled into the darkness - the glow of the letters slowly fading on his pale, tired face; he could read the smirk in the reply.
"So... if neither of us can sleep..." the red writing suggested thoughtfully. Without waiting to finish the sentence or receive the reply, he rolled over and found Cedric's arms waiting. In the blackness above them a few more lights flared.
"Love you."
"You too."
A/N: So, yeah, that was pointless. But it was quite amusing to write, and I've been watching too many Harry/Cedric videos on YouTube. Anyway, please review. TTFN, my loves.
