[Keith doesn't notice Matt checking on him, though he himself does sneak a glance for a split second before turning away. He's not sure why his heart's racing, it's not like they've never changed in the same room before.
He finishes pulling on his red flannel pajama shirt, which is still a little big on him even after he's started gaining some much-needed weight (doctor's orders, after Colleen got worried about how skinny he was).]
[He's trying so hard not to appreciate Keith's extra weight, which is at least somewhat additional muscle. He's Matt's best friend and brother. There's no reason why his heart should be doing a million leaps just seeing him shirtless. He'd never return the feelings.
Pulling on a t-shirt, (Galaxy Garrison Robotics Team) he turns back to Keith, and climbs onto his side of their bed.]
[Keith gladly gets into bed and nestles against Matt, his book forgotten as it sits on the desk. Absorbing math through his dreams is the last thing on his mind now, Matt's so warm and he can feel his nerves and tension fading away.]
[Matt wraps his arms around Keith, sighing a bit. He's always much more comfortable when Keith's next to him, and finally he yawns, voice sounding sleepy.]
[Without really thinking, Matt reaches up and runs his fingers through Keith's hair gently.]
You have something to work for now, a reason to learn things. It makes sense. You will, Keith. I have so much confidence in you. Just sleep, ok? I'll help you tomorrow.
[He's glad to be here, and he's getting used to the feeling of being told he's worth someone's effort. He's soon nodding off, his face soft and serene; Matt is so comfortable to fall asleep against.]
[Keith will wake up the next morning thinking he felt something in his sleep, but brush it off as a dream. He'll also wake up feeling warmer and cozier than ever, but only a little closer to realizing his own feelings.]

It's still a weird feeling...like it, though.
[He yawns, his eyes closing fully.]
Wouldn't have it if it wasn't for you. Thanks, Matt.

Being smart suits you. And no need to thank me. You're worth it. I'm just glad you're here now.

Sleep well, Keith.
[Before long, he's asleep too, cuddling his best friend, slowly realizing how deeply in love he really is.]
