[It's putting Bruce to sleep, exactly as Herbert had hoped. He's not sure he can stand much more of this - having Bruce say all these nice things and knowing he doesn't think of the smaller boy as anything more than a good friend. Some heavy is settling in his stomach, and he doesn't want to think about it any more.

So he doesn't answer the other Ravenclaw, just starts gently carding his fingers through the other boy's curls, willing the exhaustion to take him over.]

[Herbert just sits back and looks at him for a long time, but he knows he can't stay here forever - the moon will be rising soon. So he carefully pulls the blanket back over Bruce's body, gently so as not to wake him, and he slinks out of the Shack, to head back to the dorms to masturbate furiously and pathetically in the shower.]
