But it’s said with the kind of lazy non-conviction of a man that really is comfortable enough to doze off at any moment. And this time—in a few minutes more, at least—Henry will be the first one to be taken in by sleep, feeling secure next to the man that so much of his life now revolves around.]
[ Alec rolls his eyes, as if to say, "Yeah, right" but he stays quiet anyway. The sleepy, contented atmosphere is catching, and he's happy to just watch as Henry drifts off. Now it's his turn to see the way sleep softens the other man, to watch him slip into a state of vulnerability. It feels like he's witnessing a precious secret.
He's not far behind, letting sleep claim him, one arm still loose around Henry. Weird to think they'll both still be there in the morning, and even weirder to realize that he's more than okay with that. Looking forward to it, even.

This prison is truly a strange place. ]
