Xeno let out a breath, sagging against the closest available wall before sliding down it and sitting on the ground, not minding the dirt or debris he was on top of. The mission had been a success and they'd gone up a ranking; he'd used more power than he expected though, and he could feel the tremors throughout his entire his body.

It wouldn't take him too long to recover so-

Weight on his right side.

"Huh?" Xeno turned his head and got a nose full of brown hair. Uh. "Lex?" What was he doing there?

"What?" Lex shifted slightly, settling further against his shoulder.

"Why are you leaning on me?" Lex hadn't been injured as far as Xeno had heard, and his heartbeat was strong and steady too.

"I felt like it," was the sarcastic answer and Xeno felt Lex roll his head slightly.

Unsure, Xeno looked at B-01 to see if she had anything to say, but she was only gazing at them, her head tilted. "Physical contact between people has been found to reduce stress and relieve pain."

Xeno blinked and glanced back at Lex - he was already sleeping, his breathing deep and heartbeat slower.

"Rest," B-01 said. "I'll keep watch."

"I… All right," Xeno said, nodding, his eyelids drooping. He drew up his knees, resting his left hand on the floor and let the familiar sounds of both Lex's and B-01's heartbeats lull him to sleep.

______________________________________________

Yes, Lex is, in fact, the 'touchy' one. Both in how he tends to lean on people he trusts, as well as not allowing it from people he doesn't. >3
