[He peered at him and rolled his eyes, leaning in to kiss his cheek.]
I wouldn't make you sleep on the couch while you're sick and right now I don't think I could handle us being apart again. So if you can make it to the bed we can sleep in there together. Other wise I'm going to go grab a couple pillows a blanket and sleep out here with you.
[Perhaps it was a little childish and silly but it was the truth.]
[Eric sighs, more like a purr as Alan is close, snuggling against him. He chuckles a little at the kiss. Eric's jaw is rough with stubble, but he's too tired to care.]
I know that but if you think I'm letting you out of my sight or arms reach you're a very mistaken man let me assure you.
[He's doing this as much for himself and his own needs as he is the certainty of Eric's safety. Maybe he needs that; to see and feel for himself that Eric was really okay. He slipped an arm around his waist and started for the bedroom.]
If I could I'd carry you in there but that's not about to happen.
I certainly hope so. I will certainly do my best to take good care of you and be a suitable nurse. [He laughs softly at the kiss to his hair and rolls his eyes a bit.] At least no one will be waking you to take vitals every few minutes and you'll actually rest.
It would last for all of four seconds. I'd end u on the floor on my back wheezing like a squeaky toy. I'm going to leave all the carrying to you. Besides, you like carrying me around when I let you.
[Once they made it to the bedroom it'd be obvious Alan had fussed before he'd left - it was clean and straight as a pin. The bed turned down everything set aside neatly, a set of Eric's sleepers waiting at the foot of the bed and one Eric's bigger shirts on his side.]
[Oh Eric you ruin all his hard work. Have a sigh for that but he rolls his eyes.]
Nothing new for you, mister.
[His tone is teasing as he climbs into the bed, tucking his smaller frame tightly against Eric's side; his head on his chest. Like this he can hear the steady, sure beat of Eric's heart and it has a calming effect on him that all the tea in the world can duplicate.]
[He's sleepy but his curious side has come out besides he's too emotionally wired now that Eric is home finally; the high, the positive emotions have him fighting the sleep.]
I'll always be here. You're my favorite pillow after all.
[A smile and a little laugh, before he snuggles closer even if he's got half of his body draped over Eric clinging like he's afraid he'll be gone when he opens his eyes again.]
[Alan is sleepy and has no filter; he doesn't even blush. He presses a kiss to his shoulder and finally the urge to sleep takes over and he's out - his hold on Eric still tight]

Date: 2012-06-30 03:16 pm (UTC)You won't be without me. [The statement makes him smile.] And you're not going to sleep on the couch. I can make it.
[He laughs a little, stroking Alan's hair.]
And here I thought I'd worked my way back into your good graces.

Date: 2012-06-30 06:54 pm (UTC)Good. [He grins and nuzzles against Eric's jaw.] Even if you couldn't you'd still make yourself make it to the bed, you're that stubborn.
[He sighs softly and presses a kiss to his jaw.]
You were never out of my good graces.

Well maybe a little mad, too.
[He draws back, sliding form Eric's arms reaching out to help him up.]
Come on, let's get to bed. We deserve a good rest. I'll clean all this up in the morning.

[The rising makes him a little dizzy, and he won't be skipping and jumping, but he's all right to move.]
