The room is washed in a gentle amber glow, catching the tired lines around Harry's eyes as he sits cross-legged on the floor, a towel draped over his shoulders. He looks utterly spent, his dark curls lacking their usual luster under the weight of stress. You settle on the couch behind him, your fingers beginning to work through his hair with a delicate touch. The rigid set of his shoulders slowly softens; he leans back into your hands, his eyes closing. "Go gently with me, love," he murmurs, his voice thick with a relief that feels earned. "It's been through hell lately." The silence that follows is dense and sweet, broken only by his whispered gratitude for this pocket of stillness amid the whirlwind of his solo debut.
