Then they can both be the gayest men alive, obviously.
"Then I'd keep on doin' this. And it'll go real quiet. Just the sound of you breathing, like how the world sounds at the crack of dawn." Yes, he's watched Raylan sleep before, on numerous occasions. Tries not to move in case he wakes the grumpy old cat. "And we'd be safe. Not have to worry 'bout nothing. Until you wake up and give me some problems," he teases. Usually it's until Malcolm wakes the whole street up. Raylan isn't the only or even the main source of his problems. Still, if Doc wanted that problem-free lifestyle, he wouldn't be here.
He continues carding his fingers through Raylan's hair and petting him, with a kind of gentleness that cowboys aren't known to be capable of, fingertips occasionally brushing along the sensitive shell of Raylan's ear.
"I don't mind, by the way. Your problems." This ain't Doc complaining about Raylan's problems right now. In fact, if it weren't for the relationship woes, he quite likes said problems. Must have developed a masochistic streak down in the well, soaking up all these problems like a sponge, dealing with them like he's trying to make the best out of a shitty hand.
"You're taking some of mine on, anyway." Only fair that they share.
