What felt like an eternity to Aelius as his body sagged more and more against the soft promise of slumber under and behind him, Waru finally declared himself finished. The young man sighed in relief and made no remarks or fought against stealing Waru’s bed. As the nest was being oh-so-carefully built around him, Aelius was already beginning to drift as the plushness around him began to feel like a sweet, sweet cloud.
The gentle throbbing of his body soon became a lullaby. His head had roared into a full blown headache, but the protected pillows beneath it helped ease the throb. “I don’t think sleeping will be a problem.”He felt his shoes being removed after what sounded like his caretaker shuffling across the floor. A smile ticked the corner of Aelius’s lips.
The sounds of Waru moving about eventually led to him obviously crawling into bed beside Aelius. The young man peeked open an eye to check that there was enough room. He wasn’t about to just take over the entire bed and leave nothing for the actual owner, but it seemed Waru had created the little nest of blankets and pillow well. There was plenty of room and likely it would prove a comfortable sleeping arrangement for the man too.
“No. I should be good without it.” For now anyway. If he woke up in more pain, which wasn’t out of the cards, then perhaps some tylenol would help stave off the worst of it.
“Ma’ sure ya’ get sleep too.” He drawled slightly as he closed his eye again. Wincing a bit at his protesting head.
