This position was starting to get rather familiar, actually.
They were in Ivan's house again, in the living room. An empty tea cup and a mug stood cold on the coffee table, having been drunk dry just half an hour before. And Arthur, Ivan looked down, was peacefully napping on his lap.
The Brit tried to hide his fatigue at first, despite the many times Ivan aw him yawn or rub his eyes.
“Do you want to rest, Arthur?” He had asked him a few days after the initial observation. The student council president had immediately shaken his head to deny, but Ivan had given him a look asking the blond not to lie. After much hesitation, the Brit had conceded.
“I haven't had much sleep lately...” Arthur had admitted. And Ivan could tell the truth of his words by the dark bags under his eyes. “But I'm managing...”
The Russian cupped Arthur's face with one had, fingers tucked in golden locks behind the other's ear and purple eyes stared sincerely at the Englishman. “I wouldn't mind at all, if you take a nap here... I did say this would be a... 'sanctuary' for you, da?”
Arthur blushed rather prettily then, his eyes averting its gaze away from Ivan's and his mouth murmuring, “If you insist...”
At first, Arthur would slouch on the sofa or curl up next to an arm of the couch, a pillow in his arms. But the more often he slept.... it progressed to the Briton's head on Ivan's shoulder and on to Ivan's lap.

When Ivan thinks about it, now, with Arthur on his lap... This wasn't about trying to help just a victim anymore. Rather, this was about trying to help Arthur now. He knows the aftereffects of such trauma and Ivan doesn't want this haunting the blond's life forever because he -
His fingers stilled from soothingly running through Arthur's hair when the realization struck hi. Ivan stared at Arthur's gentle face as the teen slept - eyelashes barely fluttering and thick eyebrows relaxing and Ivan could feel and hear his breath escaping in sync with the rise and fall of his chest.
Ivan... cared for Arthur.
And he didn't know whether he should be happy or afraid.
