once a week"Honestly I asked for them specifically," Alg's voice was thick with emotion and he swiped his eyes under his glasses briefly, "as I'm not sure that Dad had gone near the piano since." But had when Alg asked, and with no difficulty. He must have known it was for Jeremiah but also hadn't asked. He just agreed to stick them in the next care package. Alg turned his face into Jeremiah's shoulder. His mother always was, and still was in a way, a huge part of his life. Even after he'd been sure he'd disappointed her, that there was no coming back from the hurt he'd caused her, he'd never placed the fault with her. No matter the reality, she remained golden in his eyes. "She'd want you to have them, obviously." He took a deep breath, "and they're wasted sitting on her piano."

once a week"Alg ..." Jeremiah's voice trailed, voice still thick as well. There was a slight tremor to it but he covered it well. Especially in light of Algie having asked for the sheet music specifically. His arm was tight around his lover, lips pressed to Algie's temple. Jeremiah raised a hand to press it to the others cheek, tilting his face so that he could look him in the eyes. "Thank you, precious. For letting me have these." They obviously meant a lot - to both of them. Lucille had been a heavy influence in his life, someone that had meant a great deal to him. Sometimes there were moments when they talked, before she died, that- No, he had enough residual guilt and regrets to add any more to the pile. "How much longer until dinner? I can play something." It seemed fitting, all thing considered.

once a weekAlg closed his eyes and tilted his face to Jeremiah's hand. When he opened them he pulled the hand down into his own and closed tightly around it. His expression was earnest, one of those rare moments when Algie had a clear and open face, "We're together.. finally. You know she'd be thrilled about that if nothing else.. So all of it would be ours eventually." Theirs together."At least we finally did something right," He smiled a bit and leaned in for a kiss, letting it linger a moment before he pulled away and gave his eyes a residual swipe just in case. He prepared to stand, "You pick something out to play. Even if it's done it'll need to set a moment. Let me go check on it."

once a weekIt was always something of a reminder that for all that Jeremiah kept a more guarded expression, Algie was the one that played everything much closer to the vest. A kiss was pressed to his lover's lips, something soft and sweet. "We did, Alg, we did. I know she'd be happy for us to finally gotten our acts together," he replied, thumb stroking skin while Algie was getting another kiss. "Then give us a hard time because of taking so long." Jeremiah shook his head and then pushed himself up as well. The sheet music was brought with him and gone through before he settled on a song. The silver-haired man could sing but only rarely did so but as he started to play, he did. "Drink to me only with thine eyes," he sang softly while playing, "and I will pledge with mine. Or leave a kiss but in the cup and I'll not ask for wine ..."

once a weekThe sounds from the kitchen hinted that Alg was taking dinner out of the oven. The smell of baked crust filled the house and there was the sound of dishes being put out before Alg returned to join him. He hadn't heard the song for years, coming up behind Jeremiah to stand behind him and press to his back. A hand ran through the other's hair before resting on his shoulder and he hummed along with him. When it finished, he leaned down to kiss behind his lover's ear. "Dinner's ready."

once a weekWhatever stress of the day had unwound, Jeremiah's concerns gone and now focused elsewhere. He leaned back slightly when Algie came back, head tilting towards his and smiling softly to the kiss behind his ear. "It smells good," he replied, turning to clasp Algie's arm to pull himself to stand. It had the added bonus of pulling them both together so that he could get another kiss before going to the dining room. "Thank you, precious. For all of this." Just how much it meant to him could not really be put into words so Jeremiah would settle for touch and kisses.

once a week"You don't have to thank me," Algie had a small smile, "This is what it should be like all the time." No craziness, no severed limbs everywhere, no things calling them away or mauling them or pulling from their home when they think they are opening the door to the bathroom. They needed to embrace and hold onto these quiet moments as long as they could. "And I think I decided I'll cook once week." He smirked and lifted his brows, "To give you a break and maybe.. try new things." Because he could maybe learn a recipe or two.

once a week"I know," he admitted quietly, "but at the same time I don't expect it." Even if Jeremiah had been pushing for this with the past bit. Taking Algie out to eat, randomly sending him things, simply enjoying the peace and quiet with him ... "You're not the only thickheaded one, you know." These were all things that he had, for some reason, thought they would not be able to do but they could. Then, when Algie continued on and that smirk and those words ... The other man was caught in a hug, Jeremiah pressing a solid breath stealing kiss to his lips. "Now you are definitely spoiling me," he murmured, "and that I may not deserve you." That last bit was said in jest and teasing. "You are wonderful, precious, a gift."

once a week"I think you and I have had our fill of thickheadedness with one another." Twenty something years worth was more than enough thanks. "You only say that now, because I haven't said the rest of it." He chuckled into their kiss before pulling back from the tight hug to pull Jeremiah to the kitchen. On the table was one of his mother's specialties which was essentially a shepherd's pie but in an actual crust. A crust he made, yes. "The next bit being that you're also going to come with me to some more restaurants once in a while. Because I want to try them."

once a week"I don't know that there's anything you could say that would make me think otherwise and-" he trailed off, smiling at the sight of the shepherd's pie and the crust. Which totally soften the blow about restaurants. "This looks and smells amazing, Alg." He pinched Algie's side. "I can live so long as you expect that I may just have to one up the meal we try out of sheer orneriness." His lips twitched into a smirk. "Unless you manage to distract me or convince me otherwise." Jeremiah leaned for another kiss. "... but really ... whatever you want, precious, we can do those things. As long as it's together." They spent enough time apart trying to get this all sorted, it was time for them to have time with each other.

once a week"Who do you think I am? Why would I distract you from making me more meals?" Alg's hand went instinctively to his paunch with a small chuckle. He realized they'd left the beers in the other room and shooed Jeremiah to sit and serve while he fetched them. Upon returning he set them down and took a seat himself with a wink, "And there is dessert- obviously. And maybe after dinner you can convince me to actually go out and take a walk." He probably should walk more, hand on the belly again.

once a weekJeremiah laughed a little at being shooed and went to the table to portion out to their plates. "See, I am feeling spoiled. Dinner, dessert," Algie got a particular look as he said dessert, "and I might get you to go for a walk? It's a great evening." His hand reached over and squeezed Alg's, feeling - for once - at ease in the longest time. It likely would not last but for tonight? It was enough. iloveyouDIE we can start up walk to fairy alley tomorrow/later today/this afternoon/you know what i mean i never sleep
