Idia hums, letting Cater's contentment wash over him as well. With his hair mostly back to blue, the light cast over them is like an early evening glow, soothing and quiet. His playlist continues in the background, Idia's lips silently shaping the words of the current song's lyrics, one about a love that defies fate but remains humble. As he relaxes and forgets himself he starts to sing along in that low, throaty voice of his. He'd sound a bit strange singing bubbly pop, but a love ballad? He... actually has a lovely voice for slow songs.
It's the first time he's hearing Idia sing and Cater can't stop smiling. He stays quiet as he listens, that low rumble a wonderful lullaby that he doesn't want to miss a single note of. After such exertion, though, he can't stop himself from drifting off, so incredibly at peace. Eyes closing of their own volition, Cater's consciousness ebbs to the sound of his boyfriend, his lover's serenade, and he's still smiling even as the heaviness of his body gives him away.
Idia manages not to fall asleep right away, though he's so tired from everything this night has been. The end of the song eventually trails off and with it Idia's singing, so he buries his face in Cater's hair and holds his boyfriend close. "I love you," he murmurs, letting sleep finally take him. He'll rest well the entire night, without the torment of nightmares. Dealing with the ache of parting in the morning will come later, but for now they're together.
