“He..he needs sleep, Cedric.  You can’t expect him to function like this.”

“He doesn’t, and I can.”

Oliver blinked heavily, collar tight around his neck as he looked up at Cedric.  He leaned into the hand holding his face, an exhausted smile forming on his lips.  His limbs felt like they were full of lead, thoughts slow as he tried desperately to stay awake.  He let his weight lean heavily against Cedric, eyes drifting shut as he took in the comfort.

“No no, sweetheart, you aren’t allowed to do that yet.”

He whimpered when his chin was grabbed, head shaken as if he was being scolded like a dog.  A soft kiss was pressed to his forehead, the grip on his face still too harsh, almost bruising.  The carpet was soft under his knees, the room warm with the fireplace crackling behind them.

He couldn’t even catch himself when he was let go, allowed to crumple to the floor in an exhausted heap by Cedric’s feet.

“Get him a cup of coffee or something for all I care, he’ll stay right at my feet, awake, until I tell him to do otherwise.”

He nudged the side of Oliver’s head with his shoe, enjoying the weary, blank look on his face.

“Don’t fall asleep on me quite yet, sweetheart.  Can you stay awake for me?”

Oliver moved his head in what could barely be called a nod, exhausting weight dragging down at him.  He just tried to keep his eyes open, tried to last long enough to appease Cedric until he just couldn’t anymore, and hoped the punishment would be light enough to be worth giving in.
