Lucien wasn't sure how long it had actually taken him to drift into unconsciousness, but it had been a smooth transition, and despite the headache he had been trying to fight off, he managed to sleep quite soundly. The body heat Faolan provided throughout the night made the blankets almost completely unnecessary, and he had found himself curling up against him to seek more of his warmth. It felt like the most natural thing in the world for him, and not once had he awakened throughout the night, feeling completely safe in his arms.

It was the sensation of being watched that ended up rousing the Frenchman from his sleep the next morning. Tiredly he opened his eyes, grimacing slightly at the loud pounding in his head. He supposed that was what people called a hangover. Having worked at bars on multiple occasions, the term had come up often for him. For a moment his vision was blurry, but as it cleared, he found his gaze meeting with Faolan's dark emerald eyes. It took a moment for him to register their current position.. the warmth he felt even now, before he was hit with the memories of what had transpired last night during their drunken fiasco. The thought brought a redness to his cheeks, but he didn't make any attempt to move away from the Irishman. That.. had really happened. 

For a moment he thought it might have all been a dream.. but considering their current position now, it was definitely not possible. There was no doubt that it had occurred. How did he feel about it? Embarrassed, certainly. Never had the Frenchman acted with such... little control. It had been the first time in his life he had been overcome with such a desire.. and it was certainly a new feeling for him. 

[color=burlywood]"Good morning.."[/color] He said, his voice a little raspy. Even though he didn't regret anything that happened, he wasn't sure how he was supposed to act with Faolan now that they had crossed this line. Should he.. try to not make things awkward by acting normal..? Or should he bring it up? He just didn't know. This was all new to him. For once he just didn't know what to say.
