He shook his head with a little frown. "it's okay, I won't be able to sleep anyway" he said softly, looking up at Nik when he pulled away, though it was then that a thought hit him. He knew it was his ability that bothered him when he tried to sleep, he wasn't sure exactly what it was, but it had something to do with his mind and his power. But maybe, just maybe, if he could convince Nik to stay, he'd only focus on that one ability, as it was close to him.
"but maybe... If I fall asleep, would you stay?" he asked, flat out, not sense flowering it up.
