[That's the years of guilt that he's built up over time. It's thick...like a cake.]

... [He's still looking over to her.] Ah. I see. You really feel this way?

You don't really seem to enjoy it when I am truthful about how I feel. All I want to do is make you happy, not depress you with what's in my head.

[John smiles a little smirk.]

I figured I've already given you too much negativity about the future as it is already. Very little of my life, I enjoyed. If I am to be honest with you...I don't have much to say that isn't unpleasant.

...

We're better off talking about you and how you feel.

[John's temperature is slowly rising.]

We do. We...do.

[He furrows his brows a bit.] Is there something specific you want to know or-?

Nn. [He nods, feeling a bit relieved to not be put on the spot, finally.]

[The old man heaves out a relaxed-sounding sigh. John's enjoying being close to her and it seems to help the tense, old bastard relax.]

I know...

[He closes his eye and seemingly melts in place comfortably. She feels soft and warm against him and he's in a strange place between being excited and relaxed at the same time.]

[He just sighs quietly and tries to lay still so that he can drift off...but it's difficult. He can barely sleep by himself as it is. Being in a strange bed with a beautiful woman makes it virtually impossible, but he'll be quiet so that Jane can get the rest that she needs.]

[He doesn't move for a while, because he doesn't want to wake her once she's asleep. John hopes that he, at least, makes a decent pillow.]

...what's wrong?

[He lays completely on his back and turns his head to gaze at her graceful silhouette in the dark.]

No. I can barely sleep at home...there's no way I can sleep here. Don't worry about it.

[He turns his head to stare back up at the dark ceiling.]

If I am keeping you awake, I should leave. You have things to do tomorrow and I should be hindering you for getting the proper rest that you need.

Hnn? Really?

[He turns on his side to face her offering his softest side to her. John then wraps his arm around her, rubbing her back.]

Just relax.
