Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tim looked down at his own half eaten dumpling before shaking his head. "I'm good I can barely finish mine. We did eat a lot at Anna and Tarte's house." He chuckled, standing up. "And that's good that you're happy. But she's patient too even though she looks like a kitten. I'll take your dumpling so I can put it away." he said, walking around and taking the plate before going to the kitchen to find wrap to cover it in. Not that it was hard everything was where it belonged.

"So what now? You did just get out so if you're tired you should go to bed. If not we can talk or something. It's up to you." he'd mention that talking helps relieve issues, but Tim himself hated talking to that stupid therapist so Daren was entitled to his vow of silence.

Tim shrugged, closing the fridge door and looking at Daren. "Then we can go to bed, or watch movies. I packed a few new releases that came out while you were gone. And since you're a police officer they were definitely not illegally downloaded from the internet for I am an honest citizen."

"Give me one moment, then!" Tim quickly moved to his room, finding his bag and opening it, pulling out the downloaded copy before jogging back out and showing the DVD. "Reel Steel! It's actually very good, I think." he explained, going to put it in. "It has robots and boxing and Hugh Jackman. You can never go wrong with Hugh Jackman." Tim back up and sat beside Daren, very quicly snuggling against him in excitement for the movie.

He'd let him put it off. It only made sense.

Tim was watching the movie, enjoying it immensely but he started to feel Daren twitching, glancing up to make sure the man wasn't being triggered, but he looked fine. Time decided to brush it off until he felt it again, and again. When he realized what was causing it he refrained from giggling, letting him watch the movie without being embarrased.

The credits did start rolling, Tim finally letting himself laugh softly. "He was also a wonderful fighter. I felt you moving as though you were in the fight. Kept on twitching right here, and here, and here." he touched all the muscles he felt moving, which was nearly all of them. "You were very active." he said with another chuckle. "You made Apple move onto my lap."

"Really? I can imagine him laughing at you. I'm sure it's entertaining to watch, you lecturing someone. I'd probably laugh very hard. But do you think you can teach me? Just the basics? It looks really interesting to learn and it would help you get into shape a little bit, right?" Tim looked at Daren much like how Apple looked when demanding human food.

If he stared hard and long enough Daren would cave.

"I don't think one more movie will hurt. It'll give us enough time to get sleepy. I brought..." he walked back down the hall, bringing over an armful of DVDs. "The ones you missed out on though are "50/50" which made me cry a bit and "What's Your Number" which a pretty hilarious chick flick, I think." he explained, holding up the, once again, illegally downloaded DVDs in their cases.

"All right then! Your wish is my command!" He switched out the disks before sitting back down against Daren, happily snuggling against his friend before watching the movie. And he found it pretty hilarious, laughing and chuckling during the appropriate parts and the not so appropriate parts. Towards the end though the redhead was starting to doze, head lolling to the side before raising again as Tim woke up. his eyes were half-lidded and his glasses had slid down the bridge of his nose. He smiled and stretched as it was over. "I guess time for bed, now?"

"Your bed. But I need to brush my teeth first, okay?" He smiled and let go, thankful Daren had helped him this far. "I'll be there in a minute okay?" For a split second he wanted to lean up and kiss him goodnight but thankfully held himself back. Instead he moved to his room and changed into his pajams before going to the bathroom, starting his bedtime ritual that Daren had no doubt memorized from his side of the wall.

And after it was done, teeth brushed, face washed, hair neat and tidy, he moved back into Daren's bed, t-shirt on, and flopped down. "This bed is so comfortable." he sighed, shifting and leaning up against Daren again.
