There’s something that might be a huff of an amused sound as she asks if he got lonely. All he’d known is that she’d fallen asleep in his room last night, and he’d––very carefully––situated her so that she wasn’t going to end up with stiff muscles or a crick in her neck. Which had just happened to be stretched out beside him.
So maybe at some point in the night he’d woken up with her head on his chest, and found that he hadn’t minded. And then maybe he’d woken that morning to find her gone without a word and found that he did mind that, not that he would acknowledge it to himself or to her.
Of course, he doesn’t have to either as she continues on, though not before hugging him once more and apologizing for last night. He glances around them once to make sure no one else had woken up yet then turns his attention to her again, fingers ghosting along her spine from the base of her neck to the small of her back before his hand flattens there, bringing her just a little closer.
“See, now when you say things like that,” he begins, smirk evident even in his voice, “––it makes me wonder if you somehow think that I mind a gorgeous woman sleeping in my bed.”
