Though he does his best not to show it, Jonas is awfully relieved when Rupert turns him down. He's embarrassed himself plenty for one night, and if he's going to disappoint Rupert right now, he'd rather do it with a lack of opportunity than a lack of skill.

It does feel strange, though, to leave the exchange so one-sided. In the morning - or whenever Rupert's feeling up to it - Jonas intends to repay him.

For now, he does as Rupert asks and turns to undress him. Gingerly unfastening and gently tugging until Rupert's trousers slide right off, Jonas begins the task while trying not to stare but ends it with an appreciative sweep of his eyes. He really has no idea how he managed to land himself in this bed. It could be anyone else here with Rupert right now.

He doesn't want to put anything on. He's never slept nude before, but it seems to him that this should be the first time, if Rupert doesn't object. Settling beside him again, Jonas murmurs, "This is nice."

In case his feelings were in question.
