[Valuable knowledge that would have been better-suited for Horny Wednesday-
Lalli just nods, figuring that this is how Winter dorm has their private moments of freaking out. It's a good system, he thinks.
For now he'll guide Kon over to the bed, helping him get in. He's not sure how much Kon is still injured- some of those injuries are visible, but with how much blood Kon had lost Lalli is sure there's more- but he doesn't want Kon to get hurt getting into bed. It's only once Kon is laying down that Lalli will go around to the other side, kick off his boots, and then crawl into bed next to Kon.]
[ listen, falls still technically aren't allowed in the dorm right now? and also, kon is not letting them give him shit for this.
this works, though. he'll let himself be guided, and aided, because he does move like he has something weighing down on him. there's a pinch between his brows at one point, while lalli is working on getting his boots off - but he tries to push the sensation aside. there's nothing crushing him, it's not real, it's -
he blinks when lalli crawls in, seeming to come back. he looks so tired. ]
[Falls aren't allowed in, and yet Lalli has snuck in. Time to put more orbeez in the bathroom.
He's not sure how much he can lay on Kon right now, so he settles for laying on his side next to Kon, facing him. Not directly touching, but within range if Kon wanted to grab his hand or pull him closer. He's letting Kon be in control of that though.]
Mmm. I'll stay as long as I can.
[He wishes he could stay all night, but curfew.]
...I brought a book. To read to you, if you wanted.
[ he's already taken a shower and no one else is grievously injured, feel free to prank them again for the night.
laying on his back isn't very comfortable, considering the massive wound that's scarred over there, so he settles on his side facing lalli in return. and he tries, very tiredly, to - honestly, be okay. but it's hard to be.
he reaches out, cupping lalli's cheek and looking at him like that. ]
[It's okay to not be okay. Lalli's mantra this whole time has been 'help Kon turn off his brain for a while,' and that means turning off the dark, PTSD-filled thoughts too. It won't make him better, but it will make sleep come easier tonight.
But before he does that, he's going to pull off his cloak and shift it over to Kon.]
...familiar smells help make sleep come easier, so hold onto this until tomorrow.
[Yes, he's absolutely saying that since he can't be there all night, Kon should hold onto his smell anyway. It's about as sappy as he can get though, so.]
[ at least sleep is mandatory on thursdays. otherwise, kon probably wouldn't be getting any sleep, will probably spend the entire time up to midnight awake and on edge. but this - this will help. he takes the cloak, smiling a little more now. a security blanket.
he's not upset about it, and instead brings it forward and to his chest. lalli's so much smaller than him that it won't fit quite right in any manner of speaking, but it'll still help. ]
[Honestly, he's not wrong! It is absolutely a security blanket right now. And Lalli doesn't mind lending it out for serious moment like this. He just wants to wrap Kon up and make him feel safe and content, but this is the best he can do for now. A little more secure.
With a pleased nod, Lalli moves to the book he brought. It's a book of fairy tales! The traditional bedtime story. And if Kon lets him, Lalli will read from it (steady but a bit stilted in pronunciation and fluency, he's still not the best reader) until either Kon falls asleep or Lalli is kicked out by curfew.]
