Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh. The forks. Sorry." and turned to the kitchen again, grabbing them. Tim wasn't hungry at all. Truth be told maybe he'd like to sleep more, pretend Daren snapping at him hadn't happened. "Here we go. You're welcome." and smiled again, sitting down and looking at the large plate. The red-head decided to stick with what he wanted. He didn't want to be rude to Daren by avoiding the french toast, it looked and smelled delicious. He just wasn't craving anything sweet today, it seemed.

"Oh. You're welcome. Salt makes eggs taste a little better, I think." and smiled, continuing to eat. He wanted to try eating the french toast, he really did, but his sugar craving was at an all time low so when he finished, he set his fork down and stood. "Oh, no it's okay I can do it. Thank you though. Did you sleep well? You seemed very cozy cuddling last night."

"I slept well, thank you. I missed the snuggling. We should do it more often." and smiled, "But I'm glad you slept well. I was worried you wouldn't."

Tim chuckled, hugging the man back, "We should add it to our exercise regime, then. One hour of snuggling, then cool down cuddles." he said, looking up with a smile, chin resting on the other's chest. "And when we want to work out really hard, we'll do some hardcore snuggling while watching movies."

The red-head smiled at the kiss, shaking his head. "I told you, I'm off til after New Years. They want me to have time to recover, which is nice. At any other job I'd be fired for taking so much leave. So you have me all to yourself for literally anything." Tim leaned against the counter, "though I guess I have to leave occasionally for therapy. I have to pick that up again. Haven't gone since I got out."

Tim chuckled, "Do they involve sitting on couches and watching lame shopping channels?" but sighed at the mention of Akane, "She's tried calling but I haven't wanted to pick up." and he erased the voice mails before he could hear them, though no doubt she was trying to schedule appointments. Tim just really didn't want too, he'd had enough therapy, and he was thankful she'd helped get him out but Timothy had been psychoanalyzed enough. He didn't want more.

"Hm?" He refocused on the man cross from him, looking curiously as the man stammered and stumbled over his words, "Doing what? I told you I'm free all day." he tried to comfort, Daren rubbing his face. What the red-head didn't expect was the kiss, having just been kissed. But it was an odd kiss, it felt forced, so he was hesitant to return it, and when Daren started pushing for more Tim turned his head away, breaking the kiss and giving him a small smile. "Daren, you're tense." and touched the man's arm before taking his hands and rubbing them. "When you're relaxed we can, but right now you're too tense and I'm not particularly craving it. It would hurt and be disappointing." the pale lips pressed to the tanned skin, "I'm sorry. Maybe under better circumstances."

"It's okay. I'm just not in the mood for it tonight is all." he said, keeping his hands up as Daren moved away, watching his hands cautiously. "I'm really afraid you're going to hit me." he admitted softly, not moving from his cautionary position. He felt like Apple when she was frightened and arched her back with fur on end.

"You're not pushing it, you asked a tiny question. And I thin today, we should try jogging for a bit. Or at least I want to. I didn't realize how cooped up I'd been until yesterday. At least jogging on the treadmill, it's too cold outside."

Tim felt bad, he wasn't doing any of the things him and Daren knew he enjoyed doing. Why did he want to do different things?

Because you've been cooped up. Fresh air isn't bad and maybe sex can come later.
