Nate wondered if this was a master/slave thing that he was unaware of but Lucien didn't seem angry he just looked confused. Had he always left? Why would anybody let him?
He smiled and gently tugged on the arm he held until Lucien was back in the bed with him. Nate kissed him on the lips slowly but still with underlying passion. "Since we both need sleep, it makes sense to stay here" he said arranging them so Lucien had his head resting on Nate's chest, their legs were tangled and Nate wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. Stroking his hands over his back, much like calming a scared animal.
