"Yeah... Goodnight, Steven," he murmurs quietly, parting his legs a bit to give him room to tangle in, one hand going up to pet through Steven's hair. It seems to relax him as much as it does Marc just being able to touch.

He thinks he can-- actually fall asleep like this. The warmth and solid press of Steven around him, the way Steven's breath will inevitably start to even out as he settles in for sleep. Maybe he won't even have the usual bouts of nightmares.

He hopes so, anyway.
