[ He hesitates to ask. Because...the rules are there for a good reason. But his heart aches to imagine Harry startling awake at night because of monsters on the ice, vengeful beasts and frightened men and the wailing sick that he can't help, whether it's Tim or someone else. He could soothe it, he thinks, hold him tightly to his chest until he calms. It would be an easy thing, sacrificing some sleep to offer him some peace. It would be a harder one, finding a boundary after. It's what shattered him with the fickle prince. His door was always open, so the cruelty found its way in. ]

Have you tried sleeping with another person?

I had a lot of nightmares after I was strangled. But it was better when I had someone there.
