While almost everyone Al knew was off on a mission, he slept in late. Waking up later in the day to man the bar in the absence of both of its owners. It was one such afternoon that he was sleeping into when he finally stirred and shoved the covers off. Bare underneath but groggily dragging himself up to throw on the nearest clothes he could find.

"It rises from the dead," Noah said dramatically from the chair under the window, where he was curled up with a book. "Happy Thanksgiving, o sleepy one."

Al found what he was sure was a pair of trousers and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He peered over at Noah whom seemed pretty contented despite his strange proclamation. "Thanksgiving?" He scratched his chin and then skooted to the edge of the bed and tossed his legs over the side. He stuck a leg in one hole and then paused. It wasn't trousers. He quickly withdrew the leg and then started to pull the shirt on over his head. "American holiday?" He asked while making doubly sure the shirt was on right-ways.

Noah stifled a giggle at Al's drowsy mistake, not bothering to hide that he was watching. "American holiday," he confirmed. "The one where we eat too much food and watch football. Or, well, it's really supposed to be about giving thanks and appreciating what you have. But mostly turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce and pies and stuff."

"Aye," Al was pleased to have it confirmed though far less pleased at the giggle and turned his body, now be-shirted to shoot a grumpy pout at Noah. "How long have you been up for anyway?"

"I had some duties this morning so I've been up for way too long. I thought I woke you up accidentally when I got up, but I guess not." Noah stretched over to the windowsill to get his bookmark and mark his spot, then set the book aside. "I thought about coming back to bed but I had some coffee and I was all the way awake by the time I got back."

Al dropped the grumpy look and laughed, "I guess I am a heavy sleeper." He stood from the bed and started kicking around the floor looking for a pair of trousers. "Did you want to do anything?" Aha, there they were. He picked up a pair of slacks with his foot and raised it to his hand to take and then sat back down on the bed, this time on the side facing Noah. "For Thanksgiving, I mean."

"You are," Noah agreed. He thought about the question. "I'm not that great a cook, but I bet there's enough stuff in the kitchen we could put together a nice dinner for us," he suggested. "Would you make a pie if I asked you to?" He looked hopeful.

"I can only promise that I will try to make a pie," Al teased as he slid each leg in and zipped up. "I guess since it is holiday, the guys wont mind if I take the day off to celebrate with my boyfriend." There was a smirk in his tone as he said boyfriend. He moved over to try and sit with Noah, whether or not there was room. He was just going to have to sit on Noah if there wasn't. "Apple, orrrr?" He purred his words playfully.

"I mean, I'm not gonna monopolize you all night," Noah said, and accepted being sat upon with equanimity, wrapping his arms around Al's waist. "Apple is great," he said happily, "I like apple pie. Especially yours."

"You're not?" Al sounded disappointed. He turned his head to peer back down at poor Noah whom was now smooshed under his bum. "You've had my apple pie?" He looked mildly surprised.

"If you have to work, um." Noah put his nose against Al's neck, a little uncertainly. "But if it's really okay, then sure."
He peeked up at Al. "You've made pies for me before," he said, and tried to keep the little edge of sadness out of his voice. Running up against Al's memory gaps was a reminder that the history they'd had had been erased, in a way. It was nice to get to know each other again, and it wasn't like Al was super different, but there were things that Al didn't remember that had meant things.

"Were they hot?" Al asked in a suggestive tone in an attempt to ease some of the tension from the sudden reminder that he still wasn't quite 100%.

Noah giggled, aware that Al was trying to ease his mood and letting it happen. "Super hot," he said, and pretended to be serious. "I burned my tongue one time."

Al gasped as it went from suggestive to downright terrifying in the context he was trying to dig at. He turned on Noah's lap so his legs were hanging off one side and his butt Rested on the top of his thighs. This way he could see the mildly grumpy look on his face as he grumbled, "That's too hot."
