[Dressing simply and taking his hand as they go to prepare the ingredients. Pancakes, eggs, bacon! Well, and fresh fruit. He figures he might have missed such things from the apocalypse.
Oh, and good coffee. He did bring a coffee grinder from his coffee room in BARiTONES.]
Being used for my cooking skills. I will need to get better at them. If you would handle the knife work, I will work on the coffee. The most crucial part.
[ he definitely did but unfortunately it's the coffee that is going to get the most appreciation. He hums at the commentary but he does as instructed, taking a knife before getting to work ]
[ He didn't intend that to have quite that effect, but it's sweet in its own right, and he seems to just beam at the kiss, enjoying the affection as he always does ]
I'll go easy on you then. And spare you any comments about how mundane domesticity with you feels good.
For one, they do not block out nearly enough light when I am around. How am I to lounge in bed with you well into the noon hour when sunrays are shining in my face?
[He means none of this as he starts to measure.]
Though you are rather pale so you do need the sun. Perhaps an automatic curtain that could raise up.
It's certainly not the sunlight in the morning that's going to make me less pale. But I'll consider automatic curtains that cover the room completely. I don't imagine Vergil would complain.
I know. But showing is one thing, talking about it is another.
Admittedly I don't think I ever fully grasped how horrifying this experience must have been for you. So despite circumstances, and as much as I hate that you had to relieve it - I'm glad to be able to understand better.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I saw your worries, your fears, and nudged you through them when you would not have ventured on your own. You would want to do the same.
[He takes both of his hands, squeezing them.]
It's easier with you to share. Relatively, of course. But be careful not to burn yourself out as well.
It does seem as if it finally came to fruition. Though that gamble definitely paid off a while ago.
[ what with them being together now. It's his turn to smile at the words, and he'll put his coffee down so he can wrap his arms around him and rest his forehead against him for a few moments, trying to focus on this rather than the image of Emet cracking and disappearing ]
I love you too. And for the record I'd be just as devastated if you ever left me so.

Re: 381 night
Or maybe I just enjoy doing this with you.
Re: 381 night
If you make me cry again, I am liable not to stop and then you are on your own for making breakfast.

Re: 381 night
[He squeezes his hand before he returns to the coffee and the little instruction card he brought. Look, he's trying.]
But planning curtains or your bathroom upgrade would be acceptable.
Re: 381 night
Oh, I wasn't aware that my curtains needed to be improved on. Let's hear your ideas.

[He lets the coffee do its thing and comes around to wrap his arms around Five's waist. There is a bit of a pause before he speaks.]
Are you alright?
Re: 381 night
He'll bring a hand to his face and then sigh ]
No.
But I'm with you and that's enough.
Re: 381 night
Speak of it when I can manage to be receptive. And you will always have me.
Re: 381 night
Re: 381 night
[He says gently trying not to be accusatory. More getting the feel of the weight of it.]

But you're right. You should share with Lahabrea.

Re: 381 night
[He gives his hand a final squeeze before he finished the coffee and bows with a flourish presenting it to him.]
Re: 381 night
Re: 381 night
[He sets breakfast down and sits next to him. He'd sit in his lap, but that would make it difficult for Five to eat.]
And perhaps after we can head to a place with a little more noise, chatter, and life.
Re: 381 night
That would be nice. I think right now both of us might benefit from that, considering.
Re: 381 night
Thought truly for the time being anywhere near you would be the ideal.
Re: 381 night
[ he'll take another sip and then decide he'll be the one to sit on Emet's lap, so he'll grab his mug a bit more carefully and then move onto him ]
But I do agree. I just want to be with you for a while.
Re: 381 night
[He can't help but smile, wrapping his arms around him, and kissing the top of his head.]

Maybe don't do that.
Re: 381 night
I'm quite certain I would be unable even if I tried. So do cross that off your list of worries.
