[He grins, meant to be comforting, ruffling his hair.] Want me to get you anything? A drink. [Or he could just stay here and listen if Naoki wanted that.]

[Naoki leans into the contact slightly before blinking. Giving a shake of his head.] No...no, that's all right. I'm fine. [Well, not fine but...you know what he means.]

[He nods, just pulling him close for that hug.]

[Naoki--the best word to use would be snuggles--shifts into him and leans his head on his shoulder, closing his eyes again. Tiredly, this time. He always feels drained quickly from the grief and anger.]

[Well, they could stay on the couch the whole day and he wouldn't mind, but he idly remembers that if Naoki's staying over, he should at least get one of the spare beds (just in case, you know.) ready.

... He doesn't move though, just laying back and letting him rest. Maybe after Naoki's slept away the fatigue from his emotions earlier.]

[Naoki sinks against him a little more when the tiredness finally begins to take over, breaths quieting and evening out. He's lulled a bit by the sound of his heartbeat, enhanced hearing at work as usual.]

[Well, he's not going anywhere, and seeing as Naoki seemed to be falling asleep, Ted closes his own eyes and decides to rest. It would do them both some good right now, he's certain, especially when the other was this tired, and Ted didn't want to think on events that have transpired. A nap sounds good about now, so long as it's not a full sleep cycle. Nightmares were the last thing he wants Naoki to wake up to.]

[Naoki's comforted (or maybe just tired) enough to drift off, falling in and out of dreams the whole while, indistinct but not unpleasant. Perhaps unlike Ted, he only has nightmares when sleeping alone. It's after an hour or two that he stirs, eyes opening slightly, expression bleary as he blinks. He has to wait a few minutes in order to remember why he's sleeping leaning against Ted and when he does--

Just a sinking feeling. But he swallows it back, shifting to glance up at his friend's face, seeing if he's awake.]

[Ted stirs and, for a moment it almost seemed like he was going to wake up. However, despite it being warmer inside than outside, it was still cold due to the weather, and the movement just makes Ted shift about and almost cling to Naoki instead, intending to get a little more warmth.]

[Oi. What is he, a heater? Not that Naoki is thinking about this. He's busy blinking slightly at the clinging (surprised) before he finds himself smiling despite himself. Oh fine. Leech his warmth if you want, Ted. He doesn't mind.]

[Of course you are. He doesn't wake up until about five minutes later though, squinting for a moment due to the glowing, before he starts blinking owlishly.]

[Naoki will have a rather fond look on his face when Ted does. Downcast mood forgotten for the moment.]

[Once he gets a little more adjusted, he pulls away long enough to rub his eyes properly with the back of his hand.] Had a nice--- [Yawwwn.] nap?

[O-oh crap. Yawns are contagious. He blinks blearily.] Mmhuh. You?

[He nods, sticking to his old position of being clingy for warmth. Waaaarmth and lazy to move.] Five more minutes.

[Naoki blinks and then laughs quietly.] Okay. M'not going anywhere.

[Ted grins at that lazily.] Good. You're gonna have to help me set up your bed later.

Like I'd mind. [And then, jokingly--] Just lemme stay with you and save us both the trouble.

How bold~! [He teases with a sing-song voice, before shaking his head and pulling away, sticking his tongue out at him.] I guess we could drag it to my room. Just the mattress.

[Naoki snorts and nudges at him slightly, but then perks up visibly.] Really?

[He nods.] And I should have a pack of cards and... [Blink. Ah, right.] Jenga.

Hmm? You got it? [He grins.] Then we'll have to play. Have any snack foods? [This is turning into a sleepover. Next they'll be gossiping.]

A lot of it. [Grin. Always need snacks when reading at home.] I never used it though, but I bet I can still beat you.

Great. [Quirking his eyebrows now.] Oh, you think so? I think I could give you a run for your money.

Wanna bet on that? [He prefers seeing Naoki like this, so he's glad to see you improve.]
