He does not move!

When his hair is petted he makes a noise that sounds like "mmmmrmph," and another one that sounds like "warm," and another one that sounds like "love you."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

..........Martin freezes and then tentatively starts petting Lev's hair again?

Lev appears to have no objections to this plan, being asleep. He makes a little soft happy noise.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

He really shouldn't be doing this.

However, Lev is making soft little happy noises. He can't just stop.

He can pet Lev's hair while internally screaming. This is fine.

...He's going to get tired himself eventually, but it'll take a few hours. Does Lev wake up or do anything?

Eventually Lev is going to say "mmmmmmmmasher" quietly into Martin's chest.

Well okay that's depressing. He probably shouldn't wake Lev up though.

He snuggles a bit closer instead.

Lev continues to be unconscious!

Look at his peaceful relaxed face.

Lev's face is so good.

(aaaaaaaa.)

Eventually, Martin falls asleep too, one hand still in Lev's hair and his body curled around Lev on the couch that is really not big enough for two people.

Lev wakes up being cuddled and it is comforting and good even though he totally has a crick in his neck now from falling asleep on the couch. He and Asher should really make it to the bed more often--

Wait a minute. 

"Uh, Martin?" Lev says.

Martin wakes up and immediately falls off the couch because ohgodhefellasleepcuddlinghisboss.

"--I am so sorry, uh, you fell asleep on me, and then, I didn't want to wake you up, and, uh, I guess I fell asleep too, and, I'm sorry--"

"I'm the one that should be sorry! I fell asleep on you!"

"It's fine, I mean, I'm used to you falling asleep here, you work really long hours--" He buries his head in his hands and takes several deep breaths. "Okay. So if you're sorry... and I'm sorry... then maybe we can just say that that cancels out? And we can just, not talk about this ever again and pretend it never happened?"

"I still don't understand what you're sorry about!"

“Um. Not... waking... you.... up? Falling asleep too?” He is not going to say “hugging you” or “petting your hair” or even “snuggling you while I was asleep”. He is not. 

(There’s something watching him, he can feel it— no, focus, he needs to focus—)

"You don't have to be sorry for that! I was the one who fell asleep on you! --I'm sorry, that is really incredibly unprofessional of me, I'm your boss, it's like-- kind of sexual harassment almost--"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

“No, really, it’s alright, I promise, I could’ve— I could’ve stood up, just, you looked really peaceful? And I was tired too?”

"All right, I guess we can just... never mention it again? And I will try to fall asleep on my desk."

Martin is very red as he nods frantically. He almost says “I’m really sorry,” remembers how Lev responded last time he apologized, and settles for nodding some more. 

“...Should I go. Make tea?”

"It'd probably make you feel better."

(Martin is very charming! It's too bad he's straight really.)

“Okay! Okay. I’ll just. Do that, then.” He is out of the room in absolutely record timing.

It takes him a bit longer to come back in, but when he does he has two cups of tea. “...Um. I know I was going to not say anything else but. You should probably know that, uh. You talk? In your sleep? About, um. Asher. I’m... sorry if you didn’t want to know that, it just—uh—it’d be the sort of thing I would want to know. I think.”

"I hope I didn't say anything horribly embarrassing."

“No, it was fine, really! I just. Figured you might want to know.” His skin was a normal color after getting tea but it is swiftly returning to ‘very red’.

...ack he did say something horribly embarrassing. 

Hopefully he wasn't having a sex dream or anything. It would definitely be sexual harassment to describe how big your ex-fiance's dick is to your employee even if you were unconscious at the time. 

“Um, you said... Asher’s name, mostly? And, uh, ‘warm’. And you made little... noises? Sorry if I’m. Making it worse. ...We can go back to not talking about it now if you want.”
