Caesar thinks about lying and saying he's fine so he doesn't keep Tadashi up. Then, Tadashi turns around to face him properly. His gentle concern breaks through any shield Caesar could hope to erect around his heart. He's so captivated by Tadashi's eyes (they're beautiful, even in the darkness) that he doesn't notice the state of the rest of him.
All the tenseness sinks out of Caesar's body and expression, replaced by fond wonder. "You're too good to me. I'm supposed to let you sleep. Rex got on me about that...."
That's an I'm not okay said in Caesar's usual roundabout fashion, including him trailing off. He tries to avoid mentioning Rex as much as he can, but there's a reason for it this time. Caesar's just not sure what that reason is yet.
