Loki freezes as Thor startles, holding his hands up quickly in a calming gesture, prepared just in case the other lashes out on instinct. (And really he should have been more careful and should have alerted Thor that he was coming back over somehow.)
Thankfully his brother relaxes and Loki sinks down to settle on the bed, not all that surprised that Thor rolls over like he does. Nor is he all that surprised by the hand that comes to rest over his heart. In fact, he welcomes it, lifting one of his own to rest it over Thor's and grip his brother's hand just the slightest. It felt like ages since he'd shared space with another living being and while he was normally a much more closed off person, not overly tactile...right now he welcomed it. Needed it to remind himself that he wasn't alone anymore.
Sleep came easier than it had in sometime that night, Loki drifting off still gripping Thor's hand, breathing softly as the night passed without incident.
