Instead of the literal meaning of sleep together, his mind imagines a callback to their time at the masquerade and it takes far too long for his common sense to kick in and smother the burst of bewilderment he feels, replacing it instead with the more likely meaning.
As if Dokja (the career bottom) would ever suggest anything else other than the literal.
This is hardly the first time he's shared a bed with a man, but the suggestion feels different this time, a prickle of awareness lodging itself into the back of his mind. This seems like a dangerous road to go down, but no worse than both of them engaging in a game of sleep chicken.

We're not going to both fit on the couch.
