( He wants to kiss her forehead; he resists the urge, eyes drifting shut and sinking against her and the cushions.

Instead, he gently squeezes her shoulder, and wills sleep to come. It's evasive, but maybe if he deliberately slows her breath and reminds himself Max is there, she's warm and they can protect each other, he'll get there. )
