"That's pretty low," Joe says. He sounds more thoughtful about it than bothered, or possibly just distracted, his mind roaming further afield. In reality, the field is not all that far away. Although he tends to be a creature of numerous and slightly hyperactive ideas!! generation, Ronan has a way of keeping him here. Sometimes by simply needing help, that Joe is all too excited to trouble-shoot. Other times, you know. It's a lot more straightforward than that.
A hand on his leg, hooking underneath, broad fingers warming him through the denim. Maybe Joe should think about the logistics and fallout before he does things like, you know, offer to give a beautiful boy a backrub while they're in between his thighs. But logistics and fallout are really hard to think about when he's on the go.
The Disney castle glitters at them. The shooting star sparks over the steeple. Joe slides his fingers up the back of Ronan's neck slowly, thumbing around the subtle bump of vertebrates, trying to remember what he was thinking about. Umm. Sleepiness numbers. Yes-- a subjective rating scale. He feels for the tension he assumes is corded somewhere in Ronan's musculature. "You used to sleep good, right?"

Ronan murmurs an affirmative without using any real words, but by making affirming-like noises. He's not looking at the screen anymore, because his head is tipped forward, basking in the feeling of Joe's long fingers against his neck. He does not generally let people get close enough to touch him, let alone stay still long enough for them to give him a fucking back massage.
Maybe he should, though. Or, at least, maybe he should start staying still long enough for Joe to do it. Even if he doesn't let anybody else.
He used to sleep well enough. Back when his life was more or less perfect, and he lived on a sprawling farm of cattle and barns, with a Disney Princess mother that cooked breakfast every morning and a father who came and went, but always returned with the most amazing gifts. Back before he found his father's broken body behind the BMW early one morning. Before his dreams were more nightmares than anything else.

He hates sleeping now. He really does.
