I don't know what Aryan's room looks like really, but if he has one of those window sills with a couch on it, I want Imlie to sleep on it the first night, and Aryan comes home late from the office (because of course he goes to do work after the wedding) and sees her sleeping there, without a blanket because she's dumb as hell and she's still wearing her shaadi ka lehenga, so Aryan carries her to the bed and puts her under the blanket.
He contemplates sleeping on the sofa downstairs, or even in the windowsill nook, but he's so exhausted he just falls asleep on the bed.
The next morning he wakes up to Imlie on his side of the bed, curled up next to him, her hand on his chest, using his now asleep and hurting arm as a pillow. But instead of waking her up or even moving, he just watches her sleep. The second it looks like she's going to wake up, he closes his eyes and pretends to be asleep.
She wakes up and is shocked, but moves carefully away so she doesn't wake him up.
For the rest of the day they don't acknowledge it at all.
And then that night, Aryan is at work late and texts Imlie, "Sleep on the bed or I'll just carry you to it anyway. Jungli."
Imlie decides to sleep in the nook again, because there's no way Aryan's coming home this late from the office anyway (she only decides to fall asleep at 11:30PM and usually by this late she's noticed that Aryan just spends the night in the office and comes back for breakfast).
Aryan obviously does come home, and he carries her again.
This keeps happening for like three or four nights. Imlie keeps wanting to bring it up and to tell him to 1) stop carrying her to the bed 2) and more importantly to stop staying so late at the office because he needs to eat dinner with the family or he'll forget to eat.
Finally, like on the seventh night, Aryan's home early enough that after dinner the two of them are walking up to their room, and Aryan, without looking at Imlie, climbs into the bed and says, "If you sleep in the nook I'll never eat dinner at home again. In fact, I'll also stop eating breakfast in the mornings."
i'm weird, but this is adorable to me.
