Jim woke with the familiar sensation of a body his arms and long hair curled in his fingers.
He didn't react for a long time because his senses told him everything was fine. No one strange, no sharp and sudden awakening, just his mind telling him everything was normal in his territory and his Guide was close.
A few minutes later, his waking mind rolled over to catch up with the fact his Guide was close. Too close.
He opened his eyes to see Blair's head tucked in against his chest hair swept back from his face by Jim's fingers.
He untangled his fingers slowly and gently. He shuffled out of Blair's arms, settling him comfortably into the futon. As he slid away, the ache start again in his ribs, the world sliding back into painful, too sharp focus as his senses kicked up into alert.
He went and got in the shower, leaving Blair to sleep.
