[it isn't something that's slipped past him, of course. on those rare nights where leon falls asleep before him, he could always feel the tension that surrounds leon. he knows, he understands—a lot rides on their journey. it's stressful for all of them in some ways, and more so for leon because he's someone so revered for seinegald's military, alongside being the son of someone so important. but the others all seem to rest better than he does.
this is rare.
it's a rare and precious moment, one stahn knows he can't disturb. when leon moves closer to him, stahn can feel his heart pound a little faster—he isn't sure why, but he chalks it up to surprise and the fact that he's still half-asleep. it's so warm, it's cozy and comfortable and so many things he isn't sure he'd have ever expected from leon, but he doesn't dislike it at all. that's why he keeps his grip as it his, but lowers his head so it's closer to leon. it's strange and comfortable, and while he knows it's a fleeting moment that'll likely never come to pass again, he wants to bask in it quietly.
leon is so peaceful, so serene, so at rest. he can feel the rise and fall of his chest as he breathes, and it's like a soothing rhythm. if somehow, this helps leon get one good night of sleep on this journey, then it's absolutely worthwhile. that's what stahn tells himself, what he convinces himself this position is for.]
