[nam soon agrees without much in the way of protest. even though it's so comfortable and he really doesn't want to move at all—well, it's okay. mostly, it's okay because he understands what heung soo is implying by that, and he also understands that heung soo isn't actually leaving.
being separated within the confines of their apartment for a few minutes is not anything to be concerned over. so even if nam soon wants to cling to his best friend, lean against him and just bask in the comfort of things being much more the way they should than anything else has been in the last few days.
so he shifts when heung soo does, even though he doesn't stand up immediately. he's quicker to respond verbally than to move, but that's mostly because he's just tired. having not slept in that time when he's normally the prince of hibernation is probably pretty telling. he couldn't turn the panic in brain off long enough to even do that much, so he stayed awake, and now... well, now that the adrenaline has worn and things are resolved, nam soon doesn't have much energy in him at all.
it's a bit of a struggle for him to push himself up off the floor, and his slippers make a loud shuffling noise against the floor as he drags his feet over them. he feels pretty tired and heavy at this point, now that he's calmed down and has food in him. it's good though, it's fine, nam soon thinks. because in a few minutes, heung soo will come into the room, and everything can be slept off. and once they're rested, they can start fresh and really try to put these last few horrendous days behind them.
so when he gets to the room, he flops on the bed and tiredly kicks his slippers away—he can't even be bothered to remove them properly and place them neatly next to the bed. maybe it's a habit he'll never get used to, after so long of just walking around in socks... maybe that's what bastards get for trying to live a little better than the poor kids they always were back home. either way, he's barely maintaining a state of consciousness while he waits for heung soo.
even though he knows that heung soo's not leaving, he still doesn't want to sleep until he knows that bastard is next to him; he needs at least that much assurance to rest easy.]

So once he's left things behind in a way that he deems satisfactory enough for now, he's already heading over to the bedroom as well, slipping out of his shoes instead and leaving those in the living room (he didn't exactly have a mind to take them off when he ran in frantically to look for Nam Soon, and he doesn't feel like properly putting them away and making the other wait more now).
He doesn't say a word when he enters the room though. Instead he just moves over to the bed, slipping in besides Nam Soon like it's natural. Let's face it, it might as well be by now - despite not having shared beds before they got into this place, he's gotten fairly used to it by now.
.. it's nice, anyway. Even if he's not the one who needs it the most by now and he knows it.
It's exactly because Heung Soo knows this much that he doesn't just lie down and go to sleep. Nam Soon's already close enough, since it's a little cramped like this, but.. well, after all the shit that's happened, a little more can't hurt. It's a little more like what he did all those years ago, when Nam Soon was just as much of a small child that needed to be comforted than he is now.
It's embarrassing as hell, sure, but part of his brain already feels a little tired and doesn't care. And it's not like anyone is going to see anyway.
Whatever.
Heung Soo wraps his arms around his bastard, pulling him closer so Nam Soon can bury his head against him.
He doesn't say anything else - what is there that has to be said? His actions can do it all for him. That he's here, that he cares for Nam Soon, and that there's no way in hell he's going to leave again if he has a say in it at all.
So just sleep, you bastard - he'll be here. ]

sharing a bed with heung soo never felt that weird to him to begin with—from the time they were kids, sleepovers usually meant sharing close quarters in their small homes, and even once they'd moved to seoul, how many times did they just sleep on the floor next to each other? always. nam soon rarely used his own room when heung soo was around. he always liked being near his best friend; it was always warm and comfortable and could make any place feel like home.
and now? well, it's not that much different now. though instead of bare amounts of space between them, nam soon is enveloped in heung soo's arms, and he's comfortable in feeling the warmth from that bastard's body. sure, it's still kind of unfamiliar and new, and it would definitely bring a lot more embarrassment if they spoke out loud of these things.
but they don't have to. every assurance nam soon has needed tonight is contained to their silence. he knows that heung soo isn't leaving, that everything that's happened tonight counts for exactly what it is, and that when he undoubtedly falters and lets his insecurities gets the better of them, heung soo will knock some sense into him. just like he always has. just like he always tried to, and the only reason there was ever a gap in that ability had been his own cowardice in running away.
so he can rest comfortable, spending another night getting used to this new way of existing together—putting the horrors of this week out of his mind. nam soon doesn't hesitate in burying his face against heung soo's chest, drawing in a small and quiet breath and letting his eyes fall closed.
it really won't be long before he's asleep this time, since now he can do that with the knowing that everything will (for now) be okay.]

Nam Soon is relaxing. It's natural when you sleep, but it shows that he's sleeping comfortably now.
It's a relief. After everything that happened, after the toll it took on them.. at least Heung Soo can be glad that his best friend can sleep like this again, even if it takes holding him like this. (Not like he minds, though, it's nice and warm and it's doing just as much to steady and relax him, although he doesn't admit it as easily.)
He watches Nam Soon for a few moments more, like he's trying to take in the other's peaceful sleeping features, but then he closes his own eyes as well, settling in as he softly drifts to sleep. ]
