After their conversation, and during lighter topics, Alex had helped Yuna to dry and rebraid her hair. It was peaceful, in a way he hadn't expected. Nervous-making too, as he was still confused overall. Just...doing a good job of ignoring the confusion as much as he could.
They'd see where this all went, and he was trusting Yuna. Something that was so rare, him trusting another person. Letting her closer.
Dinner had been quiet, and then they'd outlined their plan for the next day. From there it was time for a rest, like bedtime. Alex knew Yuna'd insist he rest too, and if he were honest, he wanted her to. He wanted to hold her close, to know he kept her nightmares away. Feel her warmth, breathe her scent, try and explore this new fluttery feeling that baffled him when he was around her, make sense of it in his mind.
Taking another look at the room they'd made their 'base', he moved the bedrolls. They were in a corner, farthest from the doorway and away from windows. Positioned such that their feet would be to the wall, and he'd made sure the line of sight to weapons and the door was clear, if needed. Then he'd curled up, Yuna closest to the wall, and his back to the doorway so he could protect her. Tucking her under his chin, arms around her, letting her sleep in his hoodie if she wanted.
It had been nice, and he'd been surprised at how peaceful it really was.
