Summary
He’d been tossing and turning for the better part of an hour. No matter what he did, he couldn’t get to the right temperature. Blankets on and he’s sweating. Blankets off and he’s freezing. He’d considered taking his shirt off, but Doug had a nasty habit of opening doors without knocking, and he didn’t want to hear whatever dumb joke he’d inevitably crack about his chest hair or pecs or whatever thing Doug considered mockable.
-----------
Peter Benton has a rough night. Inspired by season 1 episode 18 "Sleepless in Chicago." Prompt: "Why are you still up?" Title from the song Snooze by SZA.
