Lucius was sleeping peacefully on his bed, generally did not wake up very easily, but he did when he felt a weight bend the bed. He opened one eye and winced.
"Uh … Saleh, what are you doing here?" he asked, half asleep.
"I was tired." He answered shortly. "And it was cold, and the easiest way for a human being to become warm when cold is to absorb and contain heat. Therefore, ah… ‘cuddling’ is the best option."
Lucius rubbed his eyes, barely holding back a yawn, then looked at him.
"W-Wait … Would you tell me that … you want to warm you up here, sleeping in my bed?" he asked, astonished. He had no idea whether or not if Saleh knew it was a man, but how did he contradict someone when he was so sleepy?
"Well, yes… being physically near another person when cold and tired makes one warmer and just a tad drowsy, making comfortable, effective rest easier." He stated plainly.
Lucius nodded and held back a yawn.
"All right, be my guest." he said, leaving him a little space on the bed.
"I hope you can sleep, I sleep a lot."
"I sleep when I need to", he remarked, closing his eyes and snuggling closer.
