Team rancher concept: they would not be comfortable sleeping together in one bed on the first night of dl. Not because 'oooo crush but he mustn't know' sort of thing. No. Tango it's because tango has trust issues. Tango isn't going to sleep defenseless with another person! What if he's betrayed again?

So they sleep separate. One of them on the floor with the blanket and one on the bed.

Eventually one of them--I'm going to say jimmy--gets cold enough it causes them both problems and they decide to share the bed to conserve body heat.

It is not cute and fluffy. Tango is so stressed and tense it's like sleeping next to a board. He hardly gets any sleep.

The next night he simply doesn't come to bed. Stays up mining all night despite Jimmy's complaints. Fun fact about sleeplessness: it does not improve paranoia.

When Jimmy finally manages to get the man to go to sleep Tango's dead on his feet. It is a little bit cute this time. Tango is sleeping like a rock. Jimmy is only restless because he's worried tango will wake up in the middle of the night and get himself hurt

The real pay off is when--after sleeping for a looong time--tango wakes up and has not been betrayed, and the following night, when he willingly climbs into bed and they fall asleep together.
