A quiet, dreamless night really would be ideal. He hasn't been so lucky in that regard this month, with the unusual insistence of dreams showing up every time he manages to catch some sleep. Once more, the trick of having a partner to doze off with keeps them in the realm of familiar, which still makes the night a little rough, but in a more bearable way.

Despite all of Kai's efforts in creating a warm, comfy presence, Shinji can't quite manage the rest of the night without waking up a handful of times. Thoughts playing through his mind of being restrained, pulled down into an inky blackness, only to wake with a gasp to a room that... well, it was definitely very similar to the one he'd taken as 'his', but distinctly different. The fact that there's someone else around, encroaching more and more into his personal space, is plenty to jog his memories of where he is, what he's attempting to do, so with a deep, sleepy sigh, and slight adjustments for his own comfort, he can reclaim that cozy haze of sleep for his own yet again.

Perhaps not the greatest night of sleep he could be getting, but one that is much, much more full than he's managed to piece together on his own since arriving in Havenwell.
