Image from someone at tumblr who I'll never remember now - no harm intended to the original photographer.


Rules are here, though an additional one - you don't need to stick to the drabble of the hour. Remember, there are no rules! If you want to fill prompt one minutes after I post prompt 24, then that's great!

ETA Additional Rule: Because I just got the question... combining prompts is all good - there are no rules on Drabble Day!!! Post wherever, just mention that it includes other prompts for when I add things up at the end of the event.

And Chatzy is here and here for srs!chatzy.

Title Touch
Summary Albus and James are brothers in this, nothing more, or I don't intend it. Although, I might do a different ending, where they Are sexual. But this is not it. Anyway, James feels lost without touch. Lying with Albus becomes his safe haven.
Word count 281

James was the touchy-feely type. He liked touching people, felt more grounded that way. It had no sexual cause, it was just … the way he was. He never thought too much about it, he was simply an “affectionate person” as his mother always said.

Today, that person happened to be Albus. They were staying at Teddy’s apartment, because their parents wanted to have the house to themselves. So, they were to sleep in the same bed, because Teddy only had one big guest bed.

Albus had excused himself after dinner, going to their room, supposedly to read. James had stayed in the kitchen with Teddy, catching up.

When Teddy decided he needed to get some sleep, as he had work the next day, James went into the guest bedroom. As he saw Albus laying on his stomach, propped up on his elbows, holding some book, he got this weird feeling. He felt like he was standing outside his body, looking at Albus, lying there in peace, and Teddy probably snoring already in the next room, and felt unsteady.

Like every time he got this kind of feeling, he got the urge to ground himself to someone. Crawling up onto the bed and lying beside his brother, James already felt better, his shoulder bumping Albus’s and twisting his leg up over his brother’s.

“James, please don’t interrupt me while I’m reading.” Albus sighed, not taking his eyes of his book.

“I won’t. I just... want to lie here, with you. I’ll be quiet, I promise.” James said, almost whispering. He didn’t want to get that strange feeling again. He wanted to enjoy this safe haven for as long as he could.

Thank you.

I'm a bit like that, have to touch someone sometimes just to ground myself, but I don't always do it, because some people take it the wrong way.

Just ignore that title, it's supposed to be Safe Haven. Sorry.
