His tone is sweet, not so hard and grim as it usually is, and it makes Finnick smile softly.
At the question, he opens his mouth, then closes it again, trying to decide if the request is worth making.
"... If you have things to do, don't let me keep you, but... I'd like it if you stayed and laid with me for a little while."
He feels bad to ask anything more of Levi when he's already done so much. The ask feels oddly terrifying to make, especially in his vulnerable state. But perhaps Levi needs some rest too- he doesn't seem to sleep much.
He doesn't sleep much, but that's been true for most of his life.
In spite of everything, the request still surprises him a little. It's just a brief moment of faint confusion before his expression softens again, and he swallows a bit.
"No, I don't have anything else right now."
There's a somewhat awkward pause before Levi gets off the bed and goes over to help himself to one of Finnick's clean shirts before methodically stripping out of his shirt and pants - no outside clothes in the bed he just cleaned, after all, especially since he'd also just helped Finnick wash in them.
Finnick will just have to enjoy his bare legs, since any sleeping pants or whatever he might possibly own would be too big anyway. So after neatly folding his own clothing, Levi will finally, carefully, slide in under the blankets in next to him.
Levi seems to agree to stay, and it's a relief. He watches with slight confusion as Levi changes. While it's certainly normal to wear more comfortable clothing to bed, the act of wearing Finnick's shirt with no pants seems overly familiar for someone like Levi to do at this point in a relationship. The fact that he's doing it for cleanliness reasons is lost on Finnick. Either way, it's not like he minds. He grins as Levi climbs into bed, both because he's very cute dressed like this, and because Finnick is delighted to share a bed with him. He scooches himself as close as he can.
"Just one more thing, sorry," he murmurs. He lifts his metal arm up from under the blankets, toward Levi.
"Will you take this off for me? There's a button there to release."
It'll be hard to get back on himself later, but he'll either ask Levi or Night Sky to help him. For now, he wants to be comfortable.
Well, he had brought other clothes, because injuries are messy and he anticipated getting them dirty, but they're not suitable for sleeping. They've also spent time naked in a hot spring together, has napped against Finnick on the beach in plain view of everyone. It's not all that much of a stretch.
This time, Levi arranges himself so Finnick can rest against him, if it's comfortable. He doesn't even blink or comment at the request, but carefully feels for the button and twists to find a safe spot to carefully lay the arm.
As they finally settle, fingers find their way into those blonde curls again, idly combing through.
It's just so boyfriend, okay!!!!! And that deeply pleases Finnick.
He sighs with relief as the arm is released and pulled off. With that discomfort out of the way, he rolls on his side to face Levi, draping his real arm over him.
"Thank you. Good night," he murmurs, kissing Levi's forehead and closing his eyes, settling in.
