Mmm. Cool skin that was still warmer than the surrounding room. Lovely strong hand supporting the center of his spine, an arm wrapped close around his. Good.

There was time to persuade him out of it.

"I'll be fine," with a gentle nudge of shoulder, a slight press of chests--that was nice--proving he could stand steady without clinging. "If I can, yes, I think I should lie down. That would be best."

It would feel...nice. Especially together.
