[ He winces at the direct hit to the back of the head before finally rolling back over to face the other again, frowning lightly. Maybe since he's trying to imagine himself in the nation's mc's place, all jumpy and cheerful...

.. yeah. No way in hell, right.

It's probably why he slowly clicks his tongue. ]

I thought that the upside of it would be that you'd fall asleep soon, you punk. Instead of saying all sorts of weird things.

[ Of course it's not that and rather that no one could ever put him at ease with a sheer presence the way Nam Soon could.. but this is a hell of a lot easier to say out loud than that. ]

[heung soo could never be that cheerful. he could probably give kookie a much less hilarious run for his money, though. what a mental image that would be.]

Calling me over here to go right to sleep... [okay, granted... it's happened before. and under normal circumstances, it's very well likely that nam soon would have flopped onto the bed and passed right now. but as much as they're trying to seek the normalcy they need, it's still not normal. he can't just go right to sleep until he knows heung soo's feeling a little better.

he likely is just from presence alone, but until nam soon can be sure, he's not going to submit to sleep yet.] Weird bastard. You wouldn't go to sleep that fast anyway...

Do you know just how many times in my life I've watched you fall asleep? Don't suddenly get conscious over it now.

[ It's true, anyway - with Nam Soon coming over to his place to sleep so often or with just his general napping habits lately, it would be extremely hard for Heung Soo to not have seen him falling asleep a lot.. especially before him, considering he's not nearly as much of a sloth as the other can be. He can't just put his head down somewhere and dooze off, okay, it requires actual effort.

Besides, there's another part to it, but that's much harder to say. But then again, he knows this bastard is just worrying about him now, so he probably has to say it to even convince him to go to sleep to begin with.

Even if it's going to cost him his dignity. Oh well, maybe he can just bring it in a roundabout enough kind of way.. ]

.. anyway, I like you better when you're quiet and sleeping, so hurry up already. [ What he actually means is "I feel more comfortable when you're sleeping near" but hah... actually saying that.. he knows Nam Soon would never ever let it go, so there's no way in hell he's doing that. ]

Aigoo, you say such embarrassing things....

[seriously, what guy says that to another guy? "do you know just how many times in my life i've watched you fall asleep." of course, it's amusing to nam soon, and it doesn't really bother him in the least...

mostly because he knows it's true. he's long since lost count of the number of times he rolled over on his side, only to have heung soo fix a blanket, fluff a pillow, or idly wish him a good sleep. heung soo hardly ever fell asleep before him, even back when nam soon wasn't a total sloth all the time. but he can't help but call it embarrassing, even if he doesn't necessarily feel embarrassed by it at all.

...then again, nam soon also knows heung soo's dignity is on the line, so he can't help but get his last digs in. whatever the circumstance, he can feel the way the tension in the room has lifted significantly — it's always like that with them, isn't it? as soon as they'd made their amends, the tension hardly ever stuck around, save for isolated incidents and moments. it's good though, because he wants heung soo to be able to relax after all they've dealt with these last few days. it can't really be pushed any further though, so for now? he'll comply, at least a bit.]

Fine, fine. Just don't watch me if you're gonna beg me to sleep. [he gets in that one last jab... fully knowing that heung soo will watch anyway. but nam soon does his part, rolling over onto his side, back to his friend.]

[unathletic]

[ At least there won't be as much of a response to both of those statements. If not just because he knows arguing back (because he knows Nam Soon doesn't really find it that embarrassing considering how natural it is for the two of them, that bastard) will only stretch out things further. And with how little rest he's been getting the past few days, he does feel tired and wants to just sleep.. because he knows he'll be capable of it now with Nam Soon right there, even if it's still likely the other will fall asleep first.

Instead the only reaction is Heung Soo nudging his best friend with the foot of his good leg a little, as if to say "quit it" without words, and then he moves to click off the lamp near the bed to make darkness return to the room.

For a moment he stares at Nam Soon's back. Sleeping together on a bed like this still is a little embarrassing, deep down, but right now he can't find it in himself to mind it at all as long as he has the other's company. So instead, there's just a soft-- ]

Good night.

[ Before he settles in too. ]
