When he'd gotten back to their bedroom he had slipped into the bed and turned off the lamp that kept the room illuminated in the soft yellow-lighting. Stubbornly he had turned his back to Paul's side of the mattress, arms tucked under the pillow with the other pressing his palm flat against the mattress while he waited.
He didn't know if Paul would bother coming up at all or if he would slink off to the couch instead because Noah's temper was a fiery, fickle thing and who knew what he would do next until he did it?
While his spouse showered, the younger man tossed and turned because sleep wouldn't come and he couldn't decide what he wanted to do until Paul was slipping into bed beside him.
Except...there were several inches of space between them.
He waited.
And waited.
Nothing changed and he suddenly he was turning, scooting across the mattress and into Paul's arms. "You're still in the dog house, but you know I don't sleep well when you're not holding me."

He held his breath as he watched the blankets shift, the body beneath them slowly turning. There was a fight or flight impulse to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep, in case Noah intended to verbally lash out and banish him from the bed. Paul found himself staring, too curious not to, and flat teeth bit down hard onto the inside of his cheek to suppress the grin from showing as the ginger started scooting towards him.
His voice was huffy and his face was grumpy but the lanky, warm body was soon pressing up against his and Paul's natural response was to wrap large, burly arms around him to secure his spouse's position. One leg moved to possessively drape itself across the pale ones bumping against him as lips bent down to press a long, chaste kiss on the perturbed Jones' forehead.
He opened his mouth to speak but quickly thought better of it. Instead, fingers began to softly thread themselves through fiery red hair as the large man slowly began to rock them both, sleep calling Paul's name within minutes of their cuddling.
As he finally closed his eyes, a small smile played across his lips before his face buried itself in the waves of red he fell asleep nuzzling against.

Aware that he was being watched, Noah kept his gaze on Paul's chest, snuggling into the man's arms with soft grumbling. He hated how badly he needed these parts of the other man and how deeply something minor, like hiding an injury to lessen the worry, got under his skin.
Still, being wrapped up and smelling the faint soap and the general smell of Paul helped soothe his frayed nerves and he slung his arms over a broad chest to cling back in return.
While Paul seemed to fall asleep quickly, Noah took a little longer with his forehead pressed against his chest and eyes closed. It was listening to the man's heartbeat that eventually won him over, helped soothe him into the sweet embrace of sleep.
They'd made up tonight, but Paul still had a lot of a**-kissing to do come morning.
