After the lecture, Damien decided that he would get a full explanation from Theo another day.
From the way Theo had carefully dodged certain questions, it was clear that there were things happening behind the scenes that Damien didn't yet understand. Though he wanted a proper explanation, he decided to give Theo a pass today, since he was still recovering.
After the lecture, they shared a light meal on the bed. It was still a bit early to sleep, but the two of them were already cozily wrapped up together under the blankets.
Even Sebas had urged, "Please take it easy and rest for today," so Damien figured they'd just go to sleep like this.
"But you know, it really feels wonderful being this close to you, Damien," Theo said, sounding as relaxed as if he were soaking in a hot spring, as he pressed close to Damien.
