"Honey?"
"Huh, yeah?" Danny looked up adorably confused from where had been trying hard not to fall asleep.
Steve smiled fondly, "I was actually asking for the honey, Danno, but that settles it. Go to bed."
Danny had just gotten back from an exhausting nightshift, dead on his feet, but he'd insisted to have a Sunday morning breakfast with Steve.
"Don't wanna," Danny grumbled around a yawn. "I don't want to sleep away your day off. We've barely seen each other this week."
Even while he said it, Steve watched with amusement as Danny's head got so heavy he had to rest it on his arm.
"Come on," Steve got up and gently lifted Danny from his chair by pulling on his arm. "I appreciate it Danny, but what do you think we can do with you being half asleep, huh?"
Slowly they made their way up the stairs. Steve was sure Danny would already have fallen on his own.
"Tell you what, we both lay down a bit and I'll stay with you until you fall asleep. And once you get a few decent hours of shut-eye, I'm going to wake you up so we can spend the rest of the day together, alright?"
Danny was by now almost leaning all his weight on Steve, but he didn't mind. It warmed his heart that Danny trusted him so much in such a vulnerable state.
"But not too long."
"I promise. You shouldn't sleep too long anyway, or you won't be able to tonight."
Once in the bedroom, Steve stripped Danny down to his boxers and nudged him under the covers. Steve kept on the sweatpants and shirt he had thrown over earlier, he estimated it wouldn't take long for Danny to fall asleep.
He slipped into bed himself and was immediately latched onto by his boyfriend. Danny wrapped his arms around Steve and buried his face into his neck, sighing contently. He was out like a light in seconds
