Jake grumbles, not wanting to let go of the warm body curled up in his arms, but eventually Cougar's whispering filters through and he lets his arms loosen.
"Bwuh?" he mumbles, blinking slowly and trying to focus on the face that hovers above his.
Just the fact that he's able to sleep this deeply should be telling. Jake has never been much of a deep sleeper, having grown up in group homes in the foster system and then tossed into the Army at such a young age. He's never felt comfortable enough to let his guard down. But here, even in a place he's unfamiliar with, even though he doesn't know how to get home, he's able to sleep like the dead as long as he's in Cougar's bed.
Slowly, still grumbling, he opens his arms and lets Cougar slip free.
