"You taste like cinnamon," Montgomery whispered against his lips. Leonard chuckled softly.
"And you," Leonard took a step back so he could look his boyfriend properly in the face. "-need to sleep." The engineer looked positively exhausted, eyes half-lidded, lips slightly parted, his posture slumped. "Sweetheart, when was the last time you slept?"
Leonard's hands wrapped around the other's neck, gently playing with his hair.
"Ah'm fine. When are ye done with yer shift?"
Translation: I'm absolutely not fine and I will not sleep until you're done with your shift and we can cuddle.
Leonard knew his boyfriend wouldn't sleep if he wasn't there. At least not well anyway. Montgomery really liked cuddling and that physical contact, and They'd been dating long enough for Montgomery to have gotten used to that. He himself wasn't really tired, and his shift wasn't even half over but he disregarded that and said, "Alright, let's go to our quarters. Right now, mister."
They walked to their quarters in a comfortable silence, Leonard's arm around the Engineer's waist. When they got to their quarters, Leonard ordered him to shower and in the meantime changed into his pajamas as he waited for Montgomery. Soon Montgomery slipped into bed right next to him and fell asleep with his arms wrapped around Leonard, face pressed into his shoulder blade.
Once Leonard was sure Montgomery was asleep, he carefully reached into his lower nightstand drawer and pulled out a PADD. He lowered the brightness and quietly began going through reports. No one said he couldn't fill these out from his bed. Besides, it was a slow day that Christine could totally handle.
