[ At some point, Sorey dozes too. But this time, when he wakes, he finds them facing each other, hands still linked between them. Mikleo's eyes are closed, face slack, and breathing even... so he must still be asleep. Or back there. Either way.
Words fall short of describing how it warms Sorey's heart to see his best friend finally getting some too-well-earned rest after long and stressful weeks of research amid total chaos. Truly, he's earned this. Still rubbing that hand, the brunette inches in just slightly, and before settling his head into a new, comfortable position, pauses to press a discreet kiss to a sweep of silvery hair just above closed eyes.
[ It's the kiss that awakens him once more - eyes blinking open slowly but surely. Mikleo might not sleep, but he's never quite been a morning person. Though, somehow - it's that feel of warmth on hair that awakens him just enough to finally be awake for the morning. ]
... Good morning. [ He blinks a bit before realizing just where he was. Had they both not moved all night? ]
[ Sorey is too relaxed, already near to dozing all over again when he hears his best friend's voice. ]
Morning, Mikleo.
[ There's a muted sort of excitement to his tone that tells just how happy he is to wake to find Mikleo nestled so close to him. Honestly, it's kind of a wonder that the seraph hasn't pulled back yet... But, since he hasn't, Sorey chances a brief, loving card of fingers through pale hair. ]
[ Mikleo's cheeks flush ever so slightly at how close they are - even more so at the movement of hands moving through hair. Though... it is nice-- his eyes dart away for a moment. He doesn't move away, however. ]
... I slept fine. [ He says softly. More than fine. He slept well. In fact, he knows he could sleep longer if he really wanted to. ]
[ Sorey slept like a rock and he’s not ashamed to admit it. ]
I guess you were right -- I must’ve needed it.
[ That, or he was just too comfortable to stay awake, which is also highly plausible. Still, he chuckles somewhat and glances elsewhere briefly before turning his eyes back to Mikleo’s face. ]
Thanks for staying with me, by the way. I think having you here helped.
[ Helped both of us, he means, but won’t say as much. ]
[ For a moment, Mikleo wants to reach out to Sorey - to brush his hair behind his ear and card his hand through hair just as Sorey was. However, he stops himself short. ]
... If I hadn't slept here, you probably would have read all night. [ He says softly. ] But... I didn't mind it. [ Not at all. He'd be perfectly fine with sleeping here another night, too. ]

I'll be right here. You just rest. ]

Hey! You don't know that!
[ Yes he does.
A pause, long enough to let all that slip away. ]
I'm glad. [ He swallows. ]
So, if you didn't mind it... would you want to, maybe... do it again?
no subject
[ Honestly, they might have had different houses at home, but doing this doesn't feel all that bad, either. In fact, it's... rather nice. ]
no subject
Yeah. [ A small pause. ] I guess it isn’t exactly something new for us, is it?
[ But it feels new. And waking up next to -- no, curled around -- Mikleo like he did? Now that’s something he thinks he might never tire of. ]
no subject
[ He's sure that Sorey knows exactly what he means. ]
no subject
[ And something inside him does an excited little flutter at the next piece, which he can’t bring him to say aloud:
You feel it too?
But it’s much too soon for talk like that. Mikleo will withdraw from it, and that’s the last thing he wants. ]

Come on. You should eat something.
