The demand makes him laugh. Turning toward her, he clambers onto the bed properly and stretches out beside her. "Talk to me like that, and I won't do any resting."
It's an empty threat - he's almost certainly going to wind up dozing with his cheek pillowed on her shoulder - but he follows it up with a lingering kiss, his hand at her jaw. As it breaks, he draws in a long breath, giving her an all-too-earnest smile. "I know it's trite, but you've made me the happiest man in the world."
It's enough to make someone wonder when he'll wake up; if not for the dull ache in his side, no doubt from too much walking, he'd be tempted to pinch himself.
