That Connor doesn't dig and doesn't pry only helps to let V give himself permission to relax. He was glad his trust wasn't misplaced.

The silence and stillness between the two of them after Connor settled into a more comfortable position really was the only reason V was open to the idea of sleeping. He was comfortable snuggled up with Connor like this. He was warm, he felt safe, and he was blanketed with love from multiple connections. He was already very relaxed.

He might have fought the urge to sleep a little but it was ultimately no use as he slid into unconsciousness. His grip on Connor's hand loosened but he didn't let go.
