“I do like tea.”, Markus murmured. He liked tea quite a bit, he liked the taste of most of them. He liked adding sugar or honey to them, but he knew that was expensive, so he didn’t mention it to Oliver.
He noticed when it was getting dark, since it was harder for him to see anything. He tried to look at Oliver still though, even when he could barely see him anymore in the dimming light, he didn’t really mind.
“Will you stay here with me?..”, he asked quietly, hoping. He felt better with Oliver close to him.
Markus reached over to Oliver, just so that his fingers graced Oliver’s arm. Just to make sure he was there. He fell asleep after a while, barely noticing Oliver turning onto his side before he was asleep. Arm still outstretched to Oliver, though not close enough to touch anymore.
It didn’t take long and Markus curled up onto his side, the cloth slipping from his forehead. He was facing Oliver.
