[ He might as well just get in the damn bed at this point, it'd be warmer for them both, but they're in their underwear and he is a gentleman who doesn't want to make her uncomfortable.

This line of questioning is kind of frustrating, though, because he honestly doesn't know. ]


Mako, I don't... maybe?

[ He exhales heavily through his nose, trying to compose himself a little. Getting frustrated helps nothing. In fact that usually makes it even harder to rest, the nights where he's angry at himself for not being able to sleep. ]

It is. But it's also nothing new. I'm fine.

[ Mako suggests sharing the bed, which in nearly a month here they've never even discussed, though he's sure thought about it. And what expectations it could imply. He goes still and quiet, then remembers that breathing is necessary to life and he should be doing that at least. ]

...it's big enough. [ He says it carefully, agreeably, logically. ] And it'd be warmer.

[ She's not suggesting anything besides comfort, it's fine. This won't be weird at all. ]

Yeah. Okay, scoot over.

[ He lets go of her and gets up again, but this time to take his blanket and drape it on the bed properly, on top of hers. Another moment to snag his pillow and then he's setting it in the space she's made for him and climbing in beside her under the covers. The mattress is already warm from her body and he has a little pang of worry that she must be on a cold spot now, but they'll be better off in a minute. He snuggles down facing her, tugging the blankets up to their shoulders. ]

[ Well he thought it was okay. It is not okay?! He's weirdly nervous all of a sudden and it feels like it's coming from Mako, because he wasn't actually worried until just now. Is she afraid he won't keep his hands to himself? Because that's actually kind of hard to argue when his instinct at feeling her nerves is to reach out again. Hmm. ]

If it's not you can kick me back to the floor.

[ Or maybe she's just feeling kind of trapped, being against the wall? ]

Would you rather have this side?

[ Oh good. That's a relief. Mako's hand finds his under the covers and he turns his over, curling his fingers around hers easily. The light is behind him now but she might be able to see his lips curl up slightly, in a tiny relieved smile. They seem to be making a habit of this gesture, and he certainly doesn't mind it. ]

Do you think you can get back to sleep?

[personal profile] wentnuclear 2018-06-11 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe. Being warm might help and I'm still tired.

[ Not that it means much -- he's usually tired. What'll help more is the comfort of having her close, if he could just relax about it. ]

Got any bedtime stories?

Dunno... did Stacker ever read to you? My mom mostly just sang lullabies.

[ And those aren't particularly clear -- emotions rather than distinct memories. He navigates these waters gently, not wanting to upset her. ]

Did you have a favorite?

A princess? I don't know that one.

[ She doesn't have to tell him, but that's really cute. ]

Okay there's no way I could have guessed that just from her name.

How'd she get here from the moon?

[personal profile] wentnuclear 2018-06-16 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
A war on the moon? The enemy didn't think to look for her on Earth?
