It seems that they were at an impasse yet again—Anthony trying to be too polite and not a bother, and Elijah being too nice and basically begging Anthony to do something that would make him feel like a bother. "I—guess if you want to so bad then I won't say no," Anthony eventually decided after a moment of internally arguing with himself. And, honestly, the faster he goes back to sleep the faster he can pretend that his feelings weren't actually real and something he imagined as real. Whether that be good or bad.
