Drarry headcanons: sleeping arrangements??
yessss, love this, thank you! i don't think i've indulged in writing enough of this tbh. the curse of my addiction to getting together fics
starting positions (which never last, i promise you) are: harry as the big spoon aka the backpack (he's shorter), draco as the little spoon. they will both tout these as preferences and genuinely do intend to sleep this way.
however, as i said, this rarely lasts. first of all because draco is a bed hog. he's used to giant, expansive beds (he complained endlessly at hogwarts; they def have a big one as adults) but that preference means sprawling out in the center of the bed and taking up as much room as humanly possible.
harry, for sad reasons we all know, often sleeps curled up in a ball (which is why he likes to start out curled around draco 🥹) and usually winds up using draco as a body pillow in this scenario.
harry gets hot in his sleep, draco gets cold and likes to essentially be swaddled like a mummy, so they do eventually get two duvets for kicking off purposes.
they're both light sleepers, though draco wasn't always one. he's not as good as harry is at falling right back to sleep. he'll lie awake with harry tucked into his side, unable to go anywhere because to get all unbundled would mean dislodging harry. eventually listening to harry's breathing is what helps draco quiet his brain down and finally drift off again. 😴
