[He can't help but hesitate, just a little. He's not sure entirely why. Maybe part of him wants to be sure this is okay. That Sam really wants this, and isn't just humoring him somehow. He knows that's not true -- he knows the man wouldn't do anything either of them weren't totally comfortable with.]
[It doesn't feel wrong. It's... different.]
[He shakes his head a bit, pushing his hands through his hair again. Like always when he's thinking something over.]
You're going to tell me if I snore, right?
[And that's it. That's the debate. That's the last of the hangups before he eases in next to him. Almost laughing.]
[Who would have thought? That this would happen here, of all places. Here with this thing pounding away in his head, so far from Earth, so far from normal he doesn't even know which way the Milky Way is.]
[ Sam huffs a soft laugh, part at the question, part out of relief when Shiro stops hesitating and gets in next to him. He presses in close, sliding an arm around Shiro and reaching up to brush his fingers gently through Shiro's hair. ]
I'll kick you in the shins, don't worry.
[ But he's teasing, and his eyes slide shut as he settles down into the warmth of shared body heat. ]

( Go to sleep, sweetheart, I got you. )

[It does feel better. Just having someone here. Just having someone nearby. Contact. Closeness.]
[There's a little sound of his own, pulling his knees up out of reflex before trying to drift off.]
