[Cruel, huh? It's hard to see it as a cruelness when that's simply how it's always been, but to an organic being who can be injured, perhaps it would seem unnecessarily harsh. Neo won't ever rise from his rest with aches and pains regardless of what position he chooses to recharge in, but an organic being requires a comfortable environment for optimal sleep. Of course they would put importance on such things.
Well, it's just one of Sonic's idiosyncrasies. Neo supposes it's fine. What's more fine is Sonic cuddling closer to him - Neo immediately mirrors that by wrapping his free arm around Sonic as well, claws gentle against his back.]
You do not need to worry about me, I can handle it myself.
[...No, that's not exactly right, is it? Give him a moment, he has to carefully think about this and choose words that are better fitting now that he has a better understanding of why Sonic behaves like this—]
Your concern is... noted. If you want to help, then I will allow it.
It's character development, he will take it and run with it.]
Good. I wasn't gonna try and go behind your back about it, but I'm gonna at least make sure you can have some basic stuff you should've been getting to begin with...
[Sonic gently squeezes their held hands together, but it isn't long before Sonic starts to nod off in earnest against Neo; so much for unfolding the couch out, but he once again starts to melt into Neo without thinking, and he is so damn comfortable.
...And yes, he is purring again, though it's a little softer and more involuntary now.]
[Sonic isn't the sort to do that, even if it wouldn't truly bother Neo. But for now, it seems Sonic's ready to rest and Neo... Well, he doesn't need to go anywhere for the next several hours anyway. He can remain still until Sonic awakens.
...Though this is probably going to be uncomfortable for Sonic... Good luck, hedgehog.
(Neo will adjust a bit if Sonic seems too uncomfortable in his sleep... but he'll keep the heaters on, just because Sonic seems to like the warmth.)]
