There are a million and one things for Leonard to worry about all the time, and usually he does. But moments like this, here with Mick, everything can just be paused for a little while and he takes the brief reprieve for all it's worth.
Leonard would sink down into the feelings of comfort and protection he gets from Mick and live there forever if he could. It's addictive, like a drug in its own right, and he can never have enough of it. But it's dangerous and he knows it. The idea that this sanctuary he's built around and in Mick could be stolen from him worries him. What happens when that particular house of cards falls?
He shifts and curls into Mick's side. He doesn't say anything, because everything in his head would ruin the peace of the moment. Instead, he just lays there and soaks up every ounce of this he can, knowing it will end all too soon.
