Damian would not wake for a good few more hours. His body was telling him to rest, sleep, and recover from everything that had happened to him since they had met. Trauma after stress seemed to bombard him emotionally and physically, so sleep was something of a haven. It was even more so with Raquel surrounded by feathery fluffed blankets beside him.
Trinity even made his life a little brighter.
Lorey's alarm went off at seven. Since she had showered the previous night, she didn't have to worry about cleaning herself up all that much. She hardly wore any makeup, though she had taken to wearing a bit of mascara to bring out her white eyelashes, and to look a bit more professional. Her blue eyes were framed with her dark lashes first before Lorey went to put on an outfit very similar to the one Richard had gotten for her on the first day they had met. She wasn't allowed to wear hats at work, but she had even bought a new beret for the walk on over.
And so she came into the kitchen, looking fresh and lovely for the day ahead. She was surprised to find Richard there as if he'd been up for awhile, seated with his coffee.
"Good morning!" she chimed. There was half an hour before she had to leave for work, so there was more than enough time to talk and coddle. "And how are... you..."
Which it seemed there would be a lot of, because Lorey's eyes had fallen on everything set upon the table. Curious fingers opened the bag a bit, just enough to see that he had made something for her. There was even an umbrella for the cloudy skies...
"Oh Richard, you doll! This is wonderful... when did you wake up?"

Richard glanced up at her, still a bit of sleep in his eye as he stretched and moaned a good morning. "Uhm...About 5...5:30? I Wasn't sure when you usually woke up but i knew it was early. I was just playing it safe." He smiled goofily as he raised his arms above him in a stretch. "I just hope your soup stays hot for you until lunch...if it isn't I can come and bring you something better?" He offered, putting his mug down to look at her.

Lorey seemed almost ready to get misty-eyed at his concern. He had made her soup, and thought he could do better somehow than what he already did.
"Richard, this is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful, and if the soup isn't hot, then I'm sure we have a microwave or something. You could still stop by, though. I have fifteen minutes starting around 11:30 for a break."
As he stretched, Lorey caught him for a hug, even daring to slip into his lap to make it tighter.
"If you have time. If not, I'll see you when I get home."

Richard smiled, enjoying the embrace as well as he kissed her good morning a few times. "If you'd like. I just have to go in today and fill out some paperwork. Maybe I could stop by for lunch and say hello. I'd rather not be alone in the house all day anyhow..." By alone he meant with Damian and Raquel. They would probably spend the whole day recluse in their bedroom, away form the real world, just emerged in each other. Richard loved that for them but it was still odd if you were the third wheel in the house. "...I'm glad they're doing...'better'..." He noted seemingly out of nowhere, looking up at the ceiling and recalling his conversation with Damian.

She did like the idea of Richard coming to visit her very much. The flower shoppe was enjoyable, but it did get lonely. She never thought that Richard could feel that way surrounded by people, though.
"I am, too. I know it's still hard, but I think they're stuck together no, almost like we are." Lorey gave him another kiss and smile before shimmying off his lap to go get her coffee and breakfast. The lunch was what she really wanted, though, but it would have to wait.
"Do you think... they'll always be together?" she wondered aloud before taking a luxurious sip. One thing she truly cherished was having coffee that didn't taste like someone had put cigarette ash in the grounds.

Richard held his coffee cup deep in thought. He wanted to say yes. He wanted to see the two spending the rest of eternity together. But something held him back. "I...Don't know..." He sighed finally, looking down into his jet black coffee, seeing his own reflection, causing him to take a sip to break the lock he on his own eyes he held. "...I just dont know if either of their lives will let them be together in peace...we'll just have to see..." Richard sighed, keeping most of his thoughts to himself.

"Hm..."
for a few minutes, they were silent. Both seemed to be thinking about this situation, and neither liking what they saw in all the possibilities. Well, one made them alright: the two just staying together. Even then, things could still be rocky. That had been proven many times.
"Well, my snugglebug, I have to get to work. Thank you for everything..." On her way to the sink to place her empty cup, Lorey took his chin in his hand. He was such a handsome man, but the one thing she loved were his eyes. His eyes, and nose, and lips that just asked to be kissed every time she could manage it.
And that's what she did, kissed him right on the lips so gently that it could only mean that she loved him.
"And hopefully I'll get to see you."

Richard smiled warmly, letting the soft after taste of tingles she ways seemed to leave after kisses like that, he watched her turn to leave, his eyes sparkling. "I'll do my best to meet you..." He said though he really meant there was no doubt he'd stop by. It was just how he was sometimes.
So with that, Richard went off to get dressed so that he may deal with the paperwork and legalities for his own new job.

--
Damian shifted slightly in bed. His upper body was cold, so he snuggled down, nearly underneath all the blankets. The air conditioning was a bit too nippy, really. That must have meant it was cooler outside...
But there, in bed, he could feel Raquel close by. Something in him had calmed down, he realized just then. He didn't feel the need to wrap her up and hold her close so she wouldn't go away. He trusted she was there, would stay there and be alright with her warmth. They were content.

Trinity was fast asleep until Damian's little stirring. She let out a rather annoyed meow, followed by a lazy stretch. She then crawled up under Damian's chin, as she proceeded to clean herself, as well as give him a little rub of a good morning.
Raquel was still fast asleep, though she had rolled over on her side from the sudden weight lifted off her legs. She sighed slightly, feeling herself slowly begin to stir, though wished she could just go back to sleep.
Yet it was useless, she knew by now that once her body decided it was time to wake up, she would. The only good thing was since being with Damian, and ecspecially since she'd been having him next to her every night, Her body had lost the panic mode it was once in, wanting to get up and get working as early as possible for the chance to survive. Here and now, she was safe, and content, and her body and mind were allowed to relax.

"Pptttttttht." It was an odd noise, but Damian had suddenly found himself with a mouth full of cat hair still attached the the critter, and no sooner had he tried to spit it out, a tongue started scraping along his chin. One paw kept his cheek from moving as Trinity proceeded to clean him.
It was distinctly uncomfortable, like having his face sandpapered, and he didn't want to imagine where her tongue had been before.
"I am not dirty," he grumbled. "Go clean her, she's your mother..."

At the sound of his voice, Raquel moaned quietly, bringing herself out of her dream world to look at her real life dream lying next to her. She smiled through sleepy eyes, then laughed when she saw the little bathing scene before her.
"Don't forget behind the ears Trinity..." She giggled lightly as she reached out to pet the cat's head.
As if understanding her words, Trinity move up to lick Damian's ear lopes, and whatnot, making Raquel laugh slightly harder. It was lovely waking up so carefree and happy. It was something she'd never thought she'd experience but here she was.
"Hey, that's off limits, only I can do that..." She smiled, picking a reluctant Trinity off from his shoulder, before leaning in to give Damian's opposite ear a gentle kiss. "Good morning by the way love..." She smiled as she brought herself closer to him. Trinity quite bored already, starting to claw at the comforter.

"Please, never try to clean my ears with your tongue. Kissing is one thing... maybe a little nibble, but not that."
Damian grinned stupidly as he rubbed his face. Sandpaper... it was funny, but disgusting.
At least his Raquel was near to make it all better. Damian looked at her and couldn't help but smile, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Good morning. What time is it?"

Raquel smiled at his touch and smell. She just adored everything about him sometimes it was ridiculous. She sighed, propping herself up on one elbow to look at Damians bed side clock. "Almost 11? Though I swear I could have slept till noon..." She smiled as she nuzzled back down into Damian's warmth. "I'm guessing the others already headed off to work..." She sighed, pushing her dark long hair back with one hand as she looked up at he ceiling. "...I had been thinking about that....maybe I should look into getting a job too?" She said this almsot as a question as she glanced to Damian. "I mean, just so you don't have to buy me everything...I feel bad that you dote upon me...ecspecially wit ha ll the lovely clothes..." She smiled at the memory of their first little outing together. Damian Centurion was such a mystery to her then. She was intrigued yet intimidated by it slightly. She would have never guessed some time later she'd be lying in his bed, wearing his shirt, in his arms, not because she was paid, but because she wanted to...

"If you wish..." Honestly, he didn't care. His work was enough to support both of them, but if she wanted to get a job, then he wouldn't stop her. Everything was up to her, after all.
"I hardly mind. It is better that I make you happy than sit on a fortune. Look at what it's done..." he said, gesturing around them. "A house for us all. And you don't have to run around in tattered clothing."
Damian gently poked her nose before he wrapped her up in a hug. This was happiness. Nothing monetary, just love.
"And Trinity won't be killed to make room for another. Lorey and Richard have a place to stay while they sort everything out..."
