I stared down at the messages for a long time. Longer than I wanted to admit.
Eventually, I texted him back.
Me
Thank you
But I don't know what the alternative is, considering I don't know how much I'll be able to sleep without you nearby
King
I can make myself comfortable in your room
I'll need to change some things, and mark the space with my scent, but it's doable
Might just have to switch where we go every other night, because I'll sleep better in my space
Me
Every other night is fair
We can make that work
King
Do you need me to come over there?
You need to rest, so you can recover
Me
No, I think I should be on my own tonight
I'm working through things
We can spend tomorrow night at your place, since we spent last night at mine
King
Alright
I better get cleaning ;)
Me
Oh please, we both know your place is spotless, other than everything you stole from my room
Including my comforter…
King
Stealing implies that you weren't aware of it
You were aware
I did scent mark another blanket, and put it on your bed, so you wouldn't freeze
