Sleepy tender magkrav

When they sleep together, Kravitz is quiet. Save for hitching moans and tiny pleas, he says little; lets his body, eagerness and shivery cold, carry the dialogue for him.

It's always afterwards that Kravitz opens up. Blooms, like the heat from his cheek pressed against Magnus' sweaty chest. Magnus, quiet and sleepy in the afterglow, always startles at it.

"You're truly--" he starts, then stops. Picks at the bralette strap fallen off from Magnus' shoulder. "You're gorgeous, Magnus."

Kravitz breathes only to expel words from his lungs, and then the flutter of air on Magnus' neck stops again. Magnus, much more alive in flesh, feels and hears the blood rushing to his face, suddenly hyperaware of how he's still splayed out in nothing but flimsy lingerie.

"They were expensive, so, um… I'm glad. That you like them."

A sharp but amicable claw pokes his side. "I didn't say /them/. /You/."

Kravitz's still-raspy voice does nothing to lessen Magnus' blush. He feels the burn of it travel down his chest, pooling in the slight valley between twin strips of lace. "Ssshh. S'sleep time, for us mortals."

A huff of laughter hits Magnus right on his collar bone, and despite his warmth, he prickles with goosebumps. "Precisely. Too worn out to move, now is the perfect time to assault you with compliments."

Magnus groans, a smile creeping to his lips, and turns to smother Kravitz halfheartedly under a thick arm. Draws him close, closer, the chill of him making his body hum where they meet.

"Try to squish me all you like," Kravitz chuckles, voice muffled by his position, "you're still good. Every speck of stardust in you. Gorgeous."

Magnus knows Kravitz won't be fooled into thinking he fell asleep in the single instant before he spoke, but he slows his breathing and stays silent nonetheless. Embarrassment and butterflies tumble together in his gut, up his lungs, choking pleasantly in his throat.

They settle a little when Kravitz slides his arm over Magnus' belly, settling in with a contented sigh, and they both pretend to sleep.
