Connor smiled a little. He reached over and gently lifted Wilhelm's head, sliding the pillow underneath.

He shifted and stirred a little, but otherwise slept like a dead man.

Connor sat back down, watching Wilhelm for a moment.

Wilhelm twisted in his sleep, now in a position that really couldn’t be comfortable (or good for his spine). He straightened back out after a few minutes, although he clung to his pillow like nothing else.

Connor bit his lip a little bit, watching Wilhelm still. He found himself wishing that…that he was the one that Wilhelm was holding onto. Though he wasn't quite sure where this thought was coming from.

Wilhelm, while a deep sleeper, clearly wasn’t a still one. He was constantly moving and readjusting, only really and truly still for a minute or two at a time.

Connor watched him for a while longer, then realized that that was a tad on the creepy side, and went back to his book.

Wilhelm awoke momentarily on his own, nearly jolting up, though he suppressed the urge. The boy was back asleep within five minutes.

Connor looked up when Wilhelm awoke, but was quiet, going back to his book.

Wilhelm woke up after another half-hour or so. He finally sat up this time, rubbing his eyes and running his fingers through his bedhead.

Connor looked over. "Hey, Sleepin' beauty." he greeted with a slightly sideways smile.

Wilhelm gave Connor a sleepy, toothy grin, his eyes still bleary. “Hey..” He mumbled. Not even his voice was fully awake, evidently.

Connor found himself loving Wilhelm's sleepy, half-awake voice. He swallowed slightly, taking a deep breath. "Sleep well?"

“Mhm. My back hurts, though.” Wilhelm groaned, touching his spine. “I feel like I slept on it badly.”

Connor laughed a little. "Yeah, yeh were…kinda twisted up for a while."

Wilhelm laughed, nodding. “That explains it, then. I’m just wondering how I ended up with this pillow under my head. I don’t remember having it there.” He patted the pillow in question, picking it up and placing it in his lap.

Connor blushed a little bit. "It, uhm…fell ta the floor. So ah adjusted it." he replied, looking down at his hands.

“Oh, alright, yeah.” It took a few moments for the full situation to dawn on Wilhelm, but when it did, his face flushed. “Thanks.”

Connor nodded a little, chewing on his lip and a little embarrassed. "Right. Yer welcome." he replied quickly.

Wilhelm bit his nails, avoiding Connor’s eyes. He kept the pillow in his lap, maybe leaning into it a little.

Connor took a deep breath, still blushing slightly. He scrubbed a hand through his hair.

This is uncomfortable.. Wilhelm placed a hand on his cheek, trying to feel out how warm they were. God, I must be so red. This is embarrassing. He was, in fact, blushing- and the more he thought about it, the worse it got.

Connor glanced over at Wilhelm, and saw the blush, which only made his own worse. He cleared his throat slightly.

Oh, he can tell. Dear god. Wilhelm flopped back down, trying not to look at Connor. He still clung to the pillow, although he didn’t exactly realize it.

Connor looked up at the ceiling awkwardly, biting his lip and swinging his feet for a moment.

(kinda just wanna bash their heads together lmao)
