"Jesus, five?" Like he's got anything better to do. Like there's anything else he'd rather do than pin Carmy down in the blue light of dawn and relearn him all over again. "Sure, just wake me up, man."

Richie keeps his arm draped over Carmy, contemplating whether he can get away with stealing another cigarette before he passes out. Probably not. He draws idle circles on Carmy's skin instead, which is almost as good when it comes to being self-soothing, another little discovery about himself on top of all the other discoveries that have taken place this evening. No wonder he feels like he could sleep for a week.

The storm growls above them, not so angry any more. After a beat or two, Richie plucks at the blankets, whatever he can pull up over the two of them. He settles back on the pillows. Then, belatedly remembers:

"I forgot the wine. Sorry."

Tired as he is, Richie sleeps soundly and without dreams, not stirring even when Carmy rolls away to deal with the alarm and waking up almost in the same position he went to sleep in. Awareness arrives slowly, confused at first when he blinks his eyes open for a moment and finds himself in a different bed, then he takes a breath, smells and feels Carmy, and remembers.

He murmurs softly, lifting his hand to blindly feel his way up Carmy's shoulder until he can pet his hand over his sweaty curls, vaguely stroking them back from the vicinity of his face.

"Hey, cousin," he croaks out, then has to turn his head and cough a couple times. "Fuck. Gotta stop smoking."
