all you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach
Mumbling something soft and content into the butcher's chest as his arm comes curling around him, Danta is already losing the fight to keep his eyes open. Much as he wants to lay and map out every bruise and how bad it looks in comparison to the rest, he really has been awake all night, and to say he's emotionally wrung out is an understatement. And so with the soft beat of Asta's heart against his ear and the fires being drawn down low, he's out like a light before he realises as much.
And the butcher will feel it, undoubtedly, before he also succumbs to sleep; the way Danta's body relaxes against his own, the rise and fall of his chest growing deep and slow, the way his tail curls unconsciously to wind around one of Asta's legs. There will be no nightmares to startle him awake this morning, the Maverick too exhausted and too comfortable to do anything but get some much needed rest.
Anything else will have to wait.
