it's been a while! I've been working on a few things, but couldn't pass up today's @drarrymicrofic prompt, starfish. (T, 250 words)

On the nights that Harry was away, Draco had the option of sleeping in the middle of their king-sized bed, limbs akimbo, taking up as much space as possible. He could pile pillows on either side of him, so he wouldn’t have to drag one set with him when he inevitably tossed and turned midway through the night. The sheets were cool against his skin, the bed an absolutely perfect temperature for sleep without the furnace of Harry’s body occupying it.

It was something he talked about with friends, Hermione particularly understanding the joy of starfishing in a giant empty bed. 

But secretly, Draco hated it. The bed was too cold without Harry, too lonely without Harry. 

He much preferred to be crowded to the edge, grumbling, with one careless, heavy limb thrown over his chest, body half-in and half-out of the sheets even on winter nights to try and regulate his body temperature. He much preferred the security of having his husband between him and the door, keeping away mythical intruders. He much preferred waking up to Harry’s morning breath and soft, sticky kisses before either of them brushed their teeth, reminders of love and belonging his favourite way to begin any day.

So on those starfish nights, Draco stayed on his side, arguably a third of the bed instead of half. He piled pillows at his back, a rough semblance of Harry’s presence. He cast unnecessary warming charms.

And he waited for Harry to come home to him.

This just in, starfish are a radially symmetrical head with a stomach.

God I love echinoderms

If you told someone that there’s an entire group of animals that develop butt first as embryos are born bilateral but then grow a radially symmetrical head like a cancer in their side that then bursts out and lives as a completely separate organism from its birth form and moves via hydraulic systems…

They wouldn’t believe you. Yet one of the most beloved cartoon characters is one of them.

🍪 Feeling hungry? Well, despite its name, the chocolate chip sea star (Protoreaster nodosus) probably wouldn’t taste very good. To start, those “chips” aren't chocolate at all… they’re tubercles, or knobs, and they’re unique to each sea star. No two individuals have the same arrangement of tubercles!

Like many other sea stars, this marine invertebrate eats by pushing its stomach out of its mouth, covering its meal, and then digesting it externally. This critter inhabits the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, where it might be spotted around coral reefs or seagrass beds. It can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) across.
