[His expression at Peter saying he'll sleep on the floor just reads loud and clear: Uh huh.
But when Peter reaches for his head, Leo freezes for a moment. Then he realizes what Peter is doing, and ducks his head so it's easier to reach. Once the muzzle is gone, Leo takes a breath, shifting his jaw and opening his mouth, making shapes to stretch it out a bit.]
[Peter gives the look back in kind, but it doesn't last as he sets the muzzle aside. He places a gentle hand against his boyfriend's shoulder. Finding a place to touch that isn't hurt in some capacity is harder than Peter would like it to be.
We'll worry about that when we have to. Its my fault anyway. [He wants to hold Leo so badly, but there are a few problems in actually making that happen.]
[Peter shifts, so he can settle with Leo, trying to not take up too much of the mat in the process. He was thin to begin with, his time here and less than nutritious meals means he's only gotten a little thinner in the process.]
I just don't want you to get hurt because of me. [He presses a gentle kiss against Leo's cheek. Just hoping it gives him comfort as much as it gives Peter comfort.]
[Peter just tries to make himself smaller, laying close to his boyfriend. Leo's presence is a comfort here. It also just makes Peter wish Leo wasn't here at all. His boyfriend should be at home with his family right now.
This whole situation is a nightmare.]
Just... just tell me if I do anything that does get you hurt, okay?

Their fault for putting it on. [After a second, he shifts so there's room for Peter on the small mat with him.] So don't say it's your fault.

But he keeps his voice low, barely a whisper.] I won't. Not because of you.
