Chance pattered over to him carefully and soft-footed, which did make Lumi more aware of how loud he was being and how well they could hear. Quiet enough for humans and quiet enough for other pets were two whole different things. Besides, even doing his best, he'd still woken Chance.

The golden had stirred up out of bed and gently gathered his arms around Lumi, telling him it was alright in a soft, warm voice and pulling him close. Lumi slumped a little, partly still trying to hide-retract-sneak, almost by reflex, but mostly in relief.

He wasn't in trouble. Chance said so, and everything Chance had said and done since they met was kind and true. That meant it really was okay.

And that meant Lumi let himself be drawn against the other dog's chest and led away from the desk. Chance wanted to help, and Lumi certainly wanted him to. Chance's shirt was very soft, heated through where he pressed up against Lumi's bare chest. Lumi tried to stand still, but that was not possible with Chance petting him, Lumi arching almost to his tiptoes for seeking, stroking fingers. Chance let him rock there, and kept touching him, and Lumi never wanted him to stop.

"Please," softly. They had to be quiet. He was trying. "Please, yes."

He did his best to follow. He turned when Chance asked him to, twisting in place, turning in the other dog's grip with a shiver. This way around, they were almost nose-to-nose, though Chance was just the least bit taller. Lumi glanced at him, suddenly shy.

"Like this?" He didn't quite trust himself to hold eye contact, so he moved instead, pressed his lips to Chance's neck hot and quick.

He slid, trying to rub their hips together. "Is this nice?"

If Chance said it was okay, then it was, and they could both feel good.
