Thanks to the_minx_17 for inspiring my muses! Yay, the bunnies are back!

Rolling over on his side to stare at the man next to him, Gil realized that this was one of the reasons that he never let people stay over. The blue-eyed man just could not bring himself to sleep deeply at all when there was someone else in his bed.

He held his breath and placed hand on Nick's chest, grateful when the younger man finally inhaled after what seemed like an eternity. He let his thumb trace over a smooth line of muscle, silently giving thanks that there was still heat emanating from it. Nick couldn't help it, he knew. Nick probably didn't even know just how peaceful he looked while asleep.

He probably wasn't even aware that there were times when his breathing paused just long enough to make Gil's heart skip in fear, and he certainly didn't know that Gil noticed the apparent difficulties.

Gil took a deep breath, forcing himself to roll back over and try to sleep, but he still couldn't overcome the feeling that Nick looked too close to dead while he slept.
