[ when harley quinn dreams, her dreams are probably the stuff of nightmares — but most of the time, she forgets them as soon as she wakes up, like a memory that sloughs off in her subconscious and never emerges to torture her when she's awake. her thoughts are scattered enough that this isn't anything she really worries about, most of the time.
but tonight, maybe she's tired enough — or maybe she manages to be soothed enough — that she doesn't dream about anything at all, curling in a little tighter every so often and readjusting her hold on his hand. at one point, she rolls over to burrow into him more closely, knees tucked up so she's in more of a fetal position with her shins docked atop his thighs as she nestles beneath the casual sling of his arm across her middle.
when she wakes up, closer towards the afternoon now, she can hear the tv on in the living room — cass is probably watching some objectively terrible home improvement show again, his favorite pastime — and it takes her an extra second to remember how she'd fallen asleep, pressed against a warm wall of big and red, and she doesn't fully open her eyes yet, too cocooned and content to want to ruin the moment.
she can't tell if he's awake yet, but she can feel her way by touch, and it's how she ends up tipping up just enough to press her nose to the hollow of his throat, nuzzling along the dark line there before pushing her lips to that same spot, soft hums emerging because she can't help herself. the scent of him, pleasing, like roasting chestnuts, is even stronger right now, makes her needy for him without any hurry in it. right this second, she just... wants to enjoy this. ]
