*Still* not sleeping! I guess we should be glad they're not angsting and/or arguing.

"I'm always up for trying something new," Spike said, sliding his arm around Wesley's waist. He grinned. "Double entendre intended. And I think you've got a good chance of succeeding."

"I wish we could do it now," Wesley said wistfully. "But I suspect an hour in I'd be completely knackered and you'd just be getting started."

Pulling Wesley closer, Spike said, "We'll save your experiment for another day, then. Gives us something to look forward to, doesn't it?"

Wesley closed his eyes, shifting under he was as comfortable as possible, his arm wrapped tightly around Spike's waist. "Yes, I suppose it does." He still didn't want to go to sleep and miss a moment of this, but it was clear that soon he'd drift off whether he wanted to or not.

Spike stroked his hand through Wesley's hair and down his back before finding a comfortable place to settle his arms around him. "Is this all right, love?"

"Mm-hm," Wesley murmured contentedly. "Perfect."

His smile tinged with sadness that Wesley seemed to be falling asleep, Spike said, "Good."

"What about you?" Wesley mumbled, moving his fingers slightly over whatever bit of Spike's skin his hand was resting against. "Are you okay?"

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Being close to Wesley always made Spike feel good, and the extra whiskey had helped, too, leaving him warm and sluggish. He gave Wesley a gentle squeeze. "Get some sleep, pet."

"Right," Wesley breathed. He was caught in that last moment of awareness in which he knew he was going to be asleep any second, and it was a perfect moment to be caught in.

"Love you," Spike murmured, though he wasn't sure whether Wesley was awake enough to hear it. Though he was tired and relaxed, he still fought the increasingly insistent tug of sleep for a long while, just enjoying the feel of Wesley next to him and the sense of peace that he knew would be hard to find in the morning.
