[and Oswald just....sits down, hard, on the couch. Stupid. Stupid--he shouldn't have--and he presses his fingers to his eyes, not thinking about it, don't think about it, just--
He shouldn't have done. Edward's clearly uncomfortable and whatever Oswald did, with however he reacted, it must've been too obvious how much he wanted Edward to touch him, how much he wanted his attention, for him to be close and he--
He should have pulled back. Put some distance. Paid better attention to Edward's reactions and not been so stuck in feeling besotted that he was blinded to how uncomfortable he was.
Oswald swallows, dropping his hands and reaching for the blanket he used last night, and pulling it around his shoulders. He should just...sleep. Maybe he'll wake up and Edward will be gone. Maybe he'll still be there. Either way, he's...he can't do that again. If Edward stays. He has nowhere else to go, and how horrible would it be if he thought he was obligated to the clearly unwanted attention that Oswald put on him?
He lays down on the couch, reaching for a pillow and tucking it under his head, and closing his eyes. ]
