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.
