Bro can tell that the answer has deflated Murdoc a little, and there's a pang of guilt, which is why he wraps an arm around Murdoc's waist as the other nestles up against him. There's a small part of him that wants to change his mind, but at the same time he feels like he has to hold his ground just this once. So after a moment of holding Murdoc close, he pulls away and gives him a nod. "See you tomorrow, then."



Except the problem? It's an hour and a half or so later of Bro laying in bed, unable to sleep. Now that he's made up with Murdoc, the bed feels emptier than it has in a long, long time. Knowing Murdoc is just a few feet away in the other room on the couch just makes it even more difficult to deal with. He figures maybe Murdoc has suffered enough. He knows he himself has, at least. So... He finally just decides to get up, making his way out of his room. Whether or not Murdoc is asleep yet or not, Bro is going to slide onto the couch with him despite the limited space, and press close to him.
