[ even with the brightness turned down, stiles can tell when derek's phone times out by the way the whole room dims just a little more, just a little darker. it - kind of sucks, that derek doesn't say anything back, and it makes him feel a little ill and a lot uncomfortable, but this also isn't really a conversation he wants to have anymore, so he just let's it go. maybe derek's just doing what he said and going back to sleep, which is good. one of them should get a decent night's sleep.
stiles shifts a little, turning over onto his side away from derek, one arm tucked up underneath his pillow, the other curled loosely against his chest. he hears derek shift around slightly, feels the mattress dip a little when he leans to put his sandwich down, but he just assumes it's derek getting comfortable. he's got his eyes closed, so he doesn't notice the light from derek's phone illuminating the room a bit. his phone vibrates by his hand shortly after, and he opens his eyes and picks it up.
stiles takes a second, types out a couple different replies that he immediately deletes because they're all stupid and pointless and he's just. tired. and exhausted. and yes he wants to sleep but he's been trying to sleep for like - four hours now. every since the both of them first crawled into bed for the night. he just. can't. ]
What I want and what I'm gonna get are two different things. I'm awake. You don't have to be. It's okay, I'm fine.
