[ this is plenty allowed; he's not doing much more than that, just nestling quietly beside you ]

[Good, because it's not gonna hold forever; eventually she'll end up trying to choke down hiccuping little sobs.]

[ he will temporarily feign deafness, if you like; otherwise his arm's just going to slide loosely around your waist ]

[Still not saying anything, but holding onto your arm, at least.]

[ humming quietly and just letting his hand rub gently against your stomach ]

[Content to let you for now, shaking a little and burrowing further into her pillow.]

[ you, m'lady, are getting all the snuggles he can give without being overly obnoxious about it ]

[I'm just going to end up crying myself out and falling asleep here, you know.]

[ then you will have a nap with cuddles and he can just as easily pretend crying wasn't ever a thing, if you'd like

a little kiss to the top of your head, though ]

[I will be sufficiently embarrassed when I wake up regardless. Now you see why I was hiding from people?]

[ well at least you will wake up with someone who won't question it or even mention it ]

[but everything is terrible :(]

[ that is why you have me to give you all the snuggles and be un-judgey

because yes it sucks when your good friends leave. a lot of mine have in the past few months :( ]

[Bless you. But when she wakes up she's going to try to sneal out from under his arm anyway.]

[ you realize sneaking just makes him snuggle closer, right? because warm body heat leaving is not cool when one is napping ]

[She'll still try, and be very careful not to accidentally pitch him to the floor, slowly removing his arm.]

[ cracking an eye open and just pressing his cheek to the back of your shoulder ]

You could have just woken me up, you know.

I didn't want to bother you. You seemed pretty peaceful back there.

It wouldn't have been a bother.

[ still snuggling here ]

[Just sighing and turning to face you instead, still looking exhausted.]

It would have woken you up.

[ don't mind if he just reaches up to touch your face and brush your hair back ]

I'm here to keep you company, not take a nap. Also because I missed you.

You didn't have to. And I'm the one who passed out first, I think.

I wanted to.

I was trying to avoid people in general. I'm sorry.

I . . . get that. I do the same thing, and then people yell at me for distancing myself. But I was worried. The only reason I knew you were even still in camp was because your phone would actually connect.
