For Dabi, the idea of having a friend for the first time is exciting, a little scary, and somewhat unreal, but he doesn't want to lose the chance of this at all. Scooting closer to Hawks is a way of ensuring that, a knee bumped against his so they can be touching. He doesn't need a blanket, but still gets the sheet so they at least have some covering? That's comfortable. Same as feeling Hawks' breathing under his hand.

What a bright smile! Dabi grins back, a little boyish giggle coming out. Compliments are fun if they get a reaction like that. Hawks' smile reminds him of a sunny day.

The blanket snuggles around their shoulders and when Hawks gets closer, Dabi slots a leg between his to spread the warmth, arm slipping more down the other boy's back to rest in a lazy drape. Almost sharing a pillow now, but he doesn't mind. It feels better, safer.

Hearing Hawks agree to 'friends' makes his happier than he's ever recalled being. "Okay. I promise too. Promise promise." Because that's stronger than a single promise. He wants to stay up and play with his friend, talk about things, but knows they have another day tomorrow and have to be rested for it.
