Sentinel drabble for Hanarobi!

hanarobi's birthday, I promised her a Sentinel drabble.
sophinisba gave me the prompt of "current."
Jim touched Blair’s neck, softly so as not to wake him. Blair had fallen asleep on the couch. The television was stuck on an obnoxious paid programming channel. Cartons of take-out Chinese food littered the floor. The scents of ginger and soy sauce burned the inside of Jim’s nose, but they did not overpower the sensory pleasure of pulsing warm current under his finger.
Jim withdrew his finger when Blair opened his eyes. “You came back.”
“I’m yours,” Jim said. “If you’ll have me.”
Blair smiled. “Then promise me one thing.”
“Anything, Chief.”
“Next time touch me when I’m awake.”
