He was tired, but that was the tranquilizers he was still trying to process through his blood stream. For some reason, he was not alarmed by the fact that he couldn't move much, that anything he did was careful and slow. It was too much effort to feel alarm, and there was safety knowing that his bond was here as safe and sound as possible given the incident that had lead them to this very spot in the middle of the forest.
He decided that Tony was having one of those 'snuggly' moments that were so rare and generally only brought out after a big fight and stress. His eyes fluttered with the press of their foreheads, the warmth that spread through his skull because of it. The name along his shoulder tingled pleasantly, the bond digging ever deeper with this newfound set of apologies. Somehow it felt very important, but he dismissed it because he was in love and that's what mattered most right now.
His fingers lazily stroked the small of Tony's back, his breathing even enough that he could have easily fallen asleep again. He didn't; he hummed softly at Tony instead. "We haven't slept in the forest before; I don't see how that's anything to apologize for."
A part of him understood the sentiment that was being broadcast here, but he couldn't muster the appropriate response. He couldn't gather enough brain power to say what he had always told him that he would if this played out just like this. No, he savoured it, the closeness, the apology.
"We should do camping sometime, don't you think? When you're healed. When I'm healed."
