Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gathering up a bit of thought, Stephan understood what she had told him, and it brought up a warm fuzzy feeling. So he had planned to keep to the partying fling type of romances he was so familiar with, but he couldn't. "I lo-" Before he managed to get the words out the door burst open, and he was started into full awareness.

Toilet exploded? Well that was certainly a mood killer. He sat up back against the headboard, keeping the sheets pulled up to his waist. To be honest, he was curious. What exactly had the toddler done? "You alright sport?" He asked, still a bit mind fuzzy.

Stephan nodded, leaning over to look to the side of the bed. His stuff was scattered around there, but all of it was in the room at least. "Guess so. Anything I can do to help?" He offered, now a good bit more awake since he'd had a few minutes. Perhaps it wasn't the cleanest way to start the day, but from Remi's calm reaction, he assumed it wasn't all that rare when living with a kid.

Noticing the bit of a blush, Stephan turned the other way to get out of bed. He wasn't modest himself, but if it made her feel better. In about two minutes he manage to tug his clothes from the night before back on, leaving his socks off, his shirt untucked, and his cuffs rolled up. "Believe me, I know how it can get. If you remember, I lived in a house with nearly thirty other guys," he joked, waiting by the door, "And since we were technically off campus housing we didn't get staff maintenance."

Stephan cracked a smile, patting Gavin on the head as he passed him by, "I'll find a way." Once he got into the bathroom, he found it wasn't nearly as bad as the frat house bathrooms had often been, and after rolling his pant legs up to keep them dry, set to work. The plunger was where she had said, and even though Gavin had sort of filled the bowl with paper, it wasn't that hard to break up.

Stephan shrugged, taking hold of the mop for later use, "I was the permanent new kid for a while, and I lost a lot of bets." It was true, the bathrooms had been his unpleasant job for most of the time he lived in the house, so it didn't really take him much time to fix anything anymore. "Showers then breakfast?" he asked, thinking maybe Gavin would like to go out somewhere for breakfast.

"Sounds like a plan," he said, nodding cheerfully. Definately not the best morning wakeup, but at least it had woken him up. Smelly bathroom... Honestly he couldn't tell much of a difference, but then, showering with her would be a nice addition to the morning... But that probably wasn't what she meant. "Well, I only take about five or so minutes in the shower, so I could go last or...?"

Looking down at himself, he frowned. One of his pant legs had unrolled and gotten wet. And already smelled a bit like... Well, the previous night. "Hmm. I think I might run home quick to shower and change, that alright? I'll bring the car over here when I come back." Simple solution, and it would make up time he'd otherwhise be spending waiting.

"No problem," he chimed, adding a second kiss to the morning. And then, with a great deal of effort, he managed to get himself to grab his remaining stuff from the bedroom and then head out the door. The walk back to his apartment went by fast, he did have a decided bounce to his step. He showered quickly, and opted for jeans and a fitted black shirt. Much more comfortable than his dress clothes, and clean. Well, sort of clean. Non-stinky.

After grabbing his keys off the couch, he'd tossed them there when he got back, he jogged back down the stairs. He managed to keep quiet, not wanting to wake any of the building's other residents up and risk being delayed. He drove the car over, and after waiting for a while, headed back up to her apartment. Figuring she might still be in the shower, he simply opened the door and went to wait on the couch.
