He hesitates for a moment, looking at you with uncertainty in his eyes. Finally, he climbs onto the bed and pads over to where you're lying, kneeling beside you. His hands find their way to your shoulders, gently pressing you down until you're comfortable on the pillow. Then, carefully, he scoots closer, wrapping one arm around your waist and curling up against your side.

The warmth of his body against yours is almost too much; it feels like home.

"Thanks..."

He closes his eyes, breathing deeply as exhaustion finally claims him. In moments, his steady breathing tells you that he's fast asleep once more, safe and sound in your arms. The comforting weight of his little body pressed against yours lulls you into a peaceful slumber as well, your fingers tangled in his hair as you drift off, dreaming of tomorrow and all the things you'll do together then.
