Convincing Confessions?

[Raffe]

He fell asleep at some point. Shadows chased the room when he half opened his eyes some time later, Nox finally shifting beside him. Raffe wasn’t in any great hurry to wake up fully, though. The warmth of lips pressed against his neck, and a sleepy and content sigh responded. His arm strung out across Nox’s stomach, lids swooping low again. Things had been awkward. Not bad. Just quiet. Raffe preferred the solace of unspoken intimacy to confronting it, though he knew they’d have to eventually.

“No,” he agreed, voice a bare murmur. “You’re cute when you’re sleeping.” His mouth quirked into the hint of a tease, and he finally blinked his gaze a little more open, enough to sleepily meet the other man's eyes.
