[ Aventurine's eyes are kind as Caelus drifts off, only pulling back when he goes limp. Carefully he tucks the other in, positioning him to be as comfortable as possible. Before he rests Caelus's arms at his side, he'll press his lips to one hand's knuckles to give a gentle kiss. ]

Rest now. They'll be back by the time you wake up.

[ Lowering the trailblazer's hands to his sides, Aventurine will then reach out to carefully wipe the tears away from the younger man's cheeks. He'll place the catcake with Caelus now, as well, cooing and encouraging it quietly, "okay, you can snuggle with him now."

As he rises to his feet, he tries to keep his head clear of any thoughts while not losing his focus in order to make it to the door without making a commotion. He makes it out of the room without incident, finally, closing the door as gently as possible before he skills back against it with an exhale.

One hand comes up to run through his hair while the other briefly touches his mouth, very aware of the heated exchange and thinking perhaps that was too far even if nothing happened. He shouldn't be giving the younger man more things to overwhelm his mind with right now. Still, he can't find it in him to do the responsible thing and feel bad for what he did. Caelus had stopped crying and for now his body can relax enough to start to recover from all the exertion and stress he's been dealing with since the beginning of the month.

Alone in the hallway, Aventurine takes a few deep breaths, only finally peeling himself away from the door to return to the bottom floor when he's sure the heat in his face is finally gone.

( Well, like it is for Caelus, it's also best if he, too, doesn't think much about it. ) ]
