[Thankfully, it seems safe enough to not pin Azul down anymore as he doesn't do that flailing from before anymore. The only movement he makes for now is a slight flex of his hands, and a turn of his head here to glance at where Leona's arm is braced next to his head before he's closing his eyes again.]
... sorry... if I woke you just now.
[He may be on the verge of falling asleep again, but he seems to have gained some amount of awareness to guess that he was moving too much before, and that it had disturbed Leona's own sleep here.]
[he doesn't need the apology. what he does do, instead, is press his weight back down on Azul as he settles again. he pushes some of Azul's hair out of his face, gentle with his little act of grooming.]
[Azul is unable to hide the surprise that widens his eyes a little--he had been expecting, perhaps, to be interrogated on what he had been dreaming about (which he'd rather avoid if he can because it was something embarrassing and stupid), or that Leona was going to get up and go instead of settling back down on him here, or the gentle brush of his hair out of his face.]
You're...
[Not leaving? Actually wanting to stay even if he potentially kicks you or something in his sleep again?
Whatever it is that Azul is attempting to ask doesn't quite make it out, his eyes already starting to drag close again from exhaustion. The nightmare did nothing to ease his tired state after all, so it's all too easy to give in to the siren call of sleep again like this. Especially when Leona is nice and warm--almost like a weighted blanket, maybe, as one of Azul's arms absently curls around one of Leona's here as best as he can in his current sleeping position.]
[Leona's tail taps against Azul's leg under him, a slow and gentle rhythm.]
Mmhm.
[he doesn't know what Azul was going to say. he doesn't have to. it's just a placating sound, meant to get Azul to ease off to sleep. Leona lays there, waiting, with his eyes closed, until he can feel Azul actually relax.
then, he's able to ease off to sleep himself. and just like he'd intended, he really doesn't leave.]
[Thankfully, Leona is not kicked or shaken awake the next time. Azul manages to actually sleep and stay asleep, even by the time Leona wakes up on his own again. Azul still seems to be sleeping, no longer a furrow to his brow indicating a particularly intense dream...
... although, it seems that Leona will find that Azul has become quite the clingy octopus at some point in his sleep, snuggled close to the other man. Both arms have come up to embrace Leona, and even one of his legs has tangled with Leona's somehow in their current sleeping position.]

Don't mention it.
Just get back to sleep.
