No confiscation necessary, officer. [Have some light teasing in return, though he is setting his book aside and removing his glasses. Mostly because there is something far more interesting to study. His eyes follow Hikaru's tattoos, and he tries to tell himself that's the only reason he's looking him over.]

There's a few options for you on the chair over there, including something for tomorrow. I ah...I actually have an outfit of Josh's too, if you'd rather have that. I need to return it to him.

[icarusalsoflew]

Thanks. I'll take care of giving them back to him tomorrow.

[ And after a quick glance he's picking something of Bruce's out, then heading back to the bathroom. There might be a split second of butt right before the door clicks shut.

Totally not deliberate, okay. He's just really comfortable with you. ]

[Bruce is grateful Hikaru is changing in the bathroom, because he's pretty sure even with only that split second view that his face is on fire. If he didn't have full control of himself, he might have hulked out from sheer embarrassment. Hopefully it won't be as obvious by the time his friend returns.

Bruce shifts to get under his light blankets, which is something he hasn't done in awhile, if the lack of wrinkles is any indication. It does feel nice to rest his head against his pillows, and his eyelids are drooping already.]

[ He doesn't take too long in there, and Bruce is getting another smile when Hikaru comes out. The younger professor sits right by the edge of the bed, toweling his hair dry. ]

Be with you in a second.

[ What he means to say is: he isn't leaving, everything was going to be okay, he can rest easy for tonight. ]

[tiptoeing]

[Seeing Hikaru dressed in his clothes, toweling off his damp hair like that...he can't help but give him a warm, appreciative look. He doesn't quite fall asleep yet though, despite Hikaru's reassurance. There's still a lingering edge of anxiety in his mind; maybe this won't work, maybe Hikaru will even regret his offer, if he actually has to deal with his nightmares.]

[icarusalsoflew]

[ He notices that immediately, but doesn't act on it until that towel is neatly folded and set to one side, and until he's about to lie down.

Ruffling your hair, Bruce, and beaming as if you're the younger one between them. ]

Good night.

[tiptoeing]

[That gesture does make him relax, and he smiles as his eyes finally close.]

Good night, Hikaru. [It comes out as a sleepy mumble, and it's not long before he's fully asleep again. A calm, dreamless sleep that lasts for about eight hours, which might have something to do with the fact that he's pressed up against him as much as he can be, arm draped over him and holding him close.

Hope you wanted to sleep til noon, Hikaru.]
