Fics like Cold and alone

I stepped into the hallway to fetch my coat, when I noticed with mild alarm that it was gone. Had I left it at the hospital? At Leo’s? I turned around to ask Henry if he knew of its whereabouts and was surprised when he was right behind me, a coat in his outstretched hand. It was lovely - thick, brown and expensive-looking, with a fleece lining in a cut which meant it would reach down to one’s ankles. I stared at it dumbly, until Henry was forced to speak. “Here. Yours was too thin for the weather.” I stared at him, mouth open a little in shock. This was the closest thing to affection - or any sort of care for another person - I had seen Henry display. The flush was back in full force as I took the item of clothing from him, and rubbed the material of the sleeve between my thumb and forefinger. It was soft, and warm. _____________ Or, Richard’s recovery is mental as well as physical after spending the winter at Leo’s. He becomes prone to attacks of shivering, but no matter how hard he tries to conceal it from Henry, he finds out anyway.
