Welcome to Gaia! ::

"All right. I'll drive you home then. I can go shopping with you tomorrow if you'd like. I have tomorrow off anyway but Jason has some meeting to go to in Houston." he explained, turning onto a new street. "I'd love to spend the night. I need to make sure you get situated back at home. I can drop you off before I pick up my things. Andy's home is a bit crazy and I'd hate to confuse you with it." but now that he knew Andy was mafia he understood how he paid for it all.

Timothy nodded and laughed. "Yes he had one and it worked fine for about a week, then something glitched and when we came home we discovered melted green gel all over our floor. We have a normal fridge now an he's been sulking about it. I bought him a book on how to make bread and he's been thoroughly entertained with it, though now we have too much bread and I think our neighbors are getting tired of it too. And when women leave in the morning he gives them a loaf of bread. He has a surprisingly large amount of casual sex for one, being so short and two, being him."

"Andy was surprisingly very open about it. He let's me go have a movie night when he brings women home so I don't have to hear. He texts me when they're going to sleep so I can come home. He's very understanding about it." and turned, seeing Daren's apartment in the distance. "Yea, the women he brings home look, motherly? and some don't but no doubt they have that odd mother complex. I suppose if he enjoys it... though they're all taller than him from what I've seen. He gets a face full of boob when he hugs them."

"I believe the women enjoy it too or they would not hug him when he does it." He glanced over at the tan face, smiling softly before looking back through the windshield. This felt good. They were chatting like it was nothing, no one was triggered... they were enjoying themselves. This was... refreshing. Much more refreshing than the past few weeks had been. "I imagine a bit of both. I offered to pay for my own movies." He turned into the parking garage, Daren's parking spaces filled so moved his car into the first empty one. "Welcome home!"

Tim got out as well, looking around the garage and followed Daren up, reminiscing in the musty air of the elevator and the old music box music playing. The tile floor still wasn't clean. Exiting he looked around the white hallway, smiling at the door number and letting Daren go in first. Everything looked the same. At being greeted with a welcome home the eyebrows raised in shock before giving a smile. "I'm home." and stepped in. It still smelled like before, and everything looked to be in proper place. "I'll go back to Andy's place and bring some stuff over to spend the night, all right?"

Tim grinned happily, having a hard time containing his joy but quickly lowered himself back down to a smile. "Thank you." he looked at the little metal objects, giving a nod. "I'll be back soon. Don't drown in your shower." and closed the door behind him, humming happily to the elevator, in the elevator, to his car. The drive home was particularly exciting, but he did have work tomorrow morning so he had to pack for that. Daren had an ironing board. Pajamas, work clothes, work in briefcase, toiletries.

He stared at his phone, wondering if he should tell Jason that Daren was back in town. He stared at the contact, brain whirring before sending a text. 'A friend came back into town, I'll be hanging out with them for the rest of the day until I leave for work tomorrow. Call me if you want.' Well, it was true. Daren had come back to town and Tim would be hanging out with him...

He closed the phone and put it away before he could have second thoughts, leaving a note for Andy and walking out, driving back with the same amount of excitement. Soon though he was turning the lock of the door. "Daren? I'm back." He called, closing it behind him and setting his bags by the door.

Tim grinned brightly at Daren. "Yea he is." And looked around. "I think he re-painted our walls and polished the floor. It's a bit cleaner than I remember. Less dull." and chuckled, picking up his bags again. "You should go shower, Daren. I'll start cooking dinner if you want. Should I order something. This is my welcome home party to you! I'll put these in my room first, though. So tell me what you want to eat and I'll cook it or order it!"

A small laugh escaped his lips. "Yes, you are a very clean man." he looked at the frame being put back up, smiling brightly. "It's your mother! Where did Caesar find that?" he questioned, going to look at her up close. she really was beautiful, he had her complexion, her eyes. Their eyes were like sapphires.

"Is it? Wow Caesar really went all out didn't he?" Tim asked, walking out and setting his bags in his room. Yup, the unpacked boxes of Daren's storage were still there too. What caught his eye though, "My necklace!' He exclaimed, finding the little seahorse necklace Daren had gotten him at the aquarium. "I'd lost this after a week! I turned this entire room upside down looking for it!" He grinned, showing it off to Daren before turning, offering it. "Can you put it on? Please? I'll cook after I promise."
