"Hey, uh," Colby says. "Why don't I... lemme grab you a shirt, okay?" He pulls himself up off the floor and she follows him through to his bedroom. Her head starts throbbing as soon as she stands up, so she closes her eyes and leans against the wall next to his dresser while he finds a t-shirt for her. Her hands feel heavy when she lifts them to finish unbuttoning her shirt, and she does it sleepily, slowly, fingers slipping over the tiny buttons.
"Okay, here," Colby says, looking vaguely proud of himself as he holds a shirt out to her. He stumbles with his step toward her, and she catches him before he can fall. He groans and lowers his head to rest on her shoulder. "I think I stood up too fast," he mumbles.
She thinks that his headache is probably worse than hers, so she brushes her fingers through the hair at the base of his skull, massaging gently, slowly. She can feel his breath on her skin, hot through the thin fabric of her shirt. She could almost fall asleep like this, leaning against the wall with Colby keeping her warm.
