Blinking at the lack of reply and squinting, he realized Aoba was asleep, not simply reclining. Snorting softly and wandering over to the seat, he leaned in, eyes roaming Aoba's sleeping face as they'd done in the past. Smiling to himself and looking back over his shoulder at the open bunkroom, he made his decision, gently reaching into the bucket curve of the seat.

He was extremely patient and careful, using his knee to nudge the seat out of it's lean and tilt Aoba just enough to get his hands in there. Any time Aoba stirred, he waited, then went back to work until he had the man lifted up. The Titan princess-carried the other man easily, quietly making his way across the small open space and side-ways through the door to lay Aoba on the bed. Huffing a sigh, satisfied, he tucked the man in snugly before heading back out to go over diagnostics and calibrations on the ship before tucking in at the mess table to read a while, content in the occupied silence.
