you're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling
Nate feels almost bad to be waking Sunjata up, to be disturbing his sleep, but he can’t contain himself, won’t be able to wait until morning, not without blowing a gasket. At least this si the gentlest way he can manage, his thumb running gently over the attuned’s cheekbone. ”Dankie Haai.” He mumbled as the griffin shifts, yawns. Pemota settles above, radiating calm below, albeit a little belatedly.
”Not for you, but I think you’ll like it.” Nate hums after a moment of consideration. Some part of him is more excited to see Sunjata’s reaction than he is to be healed. His fingers twist run through Haai’s fur, a soft huff of a laugh leaving him when her tail thumps.
It doesn’t seem possible, but the wide grin spread over Nate’s face grows even wider as Sunjata surges up, forced sleepiness away. He can be patient, can give his husband as much time as he needs to take everything in. Fighting his instinct to blink, despite not really needing it, Nate cocks his head a little tilting in Sunjatas grip. ”Is it grey?” He echoes, his own hand rising, as if being able to touch it would show him. ”Thats... more thoughtful than I expected.” A light laugh leaves him, before his arms wrap around the other. ”You like it?”

& you're trembling and he reaches over
and touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist
NATE
