[ Niles has little problem indulging his lord - especially in an instance like this, where it means he can (try to, and boy does he really try around Leo, for both their sakes) relax and take things easy.
This doesn't stop him from running his hand up and down his back, though. He feels every notch on his spine and traces over some scratch marks he'd left the previous night. An idle, slow motion, maybe even enough to lull Leo back to sleep if he's tired enough. ]
[Leo wasn't even fully awake to begin with, of course that's going to lull him back to sleep. He's so comfortable... feels so safe in Niles' arms and his touch is so soothing... Moments like these, with Niles, are his favorite.]
[ And with that, Niles will drift off as well. It's unintentional, but, well. Leo isn't the only one in the room that could benefit from a few more hours of shut eye.
In fact, when Leo wakes up again, he'll find the grip on his hand has gone slack, and Niles still fast asleep. Comfortable and at ease. ]
