Occurs around 7pm February 1st, 2024 after
Slow steps


He’d ordered dessert, because of course he had, but he hadn’t really known what to get so he’d perhaps gone over the top but he really wasn’t sure what the other would like. René had not been as specific as he could have been so Alexandre had guessed it, as he wasn't going to wake the dozing man up. The French bakery he’d ordered from he’d found on a list that circulated about his family, a list of suggested businesses that excelled at whatever their craft was. This bakery had been listed and it was the only French bakery, in that it dealt strictly with French pastries. There was a bakery listed for several nationalities, including Italian, but this one was what he used tonight. They were still open, thankfully, and someone had taken on the delivery order and dropped the large order at his doorstep - money spoke volumes in the city and he could make things like his happen with some amount of ease.

Alexandre had been silent as he wandered around the house doing various things while the chicken soaked for longer than he’d planned. René was to sleep, because he was hurting, so Alexandre didn’t wake him till nearly six o’clock. Sitting on the floor by the couch he moved to gently nudge the other.

By now the house was filled with the smells of the dinner he’d made and the pastries were laid out on the kitchen table on fine glass decorative towers. Small plates and dessert forks at the ready. Alexandre was not going to go formal and set the dining room table and put that room to use…it was less personal. It felt too big for just two people, even if there was a lot of food to take up space. The kitchen table would manage just fine, it was why he’d employed the use of glass desert towers.

“René, dinner is ready. You should get up and eat.” And see what he’d ordered without the other knowing.

It wasn’t hard for him to sleep once the lights had been turned low but waking up was a whole other matter. Groaning softly as he felt a nudging on his bad shoulder, he scratched at his stomach out of habit and flinched from the pain. Sitting up took a bit longer, he felt pretty stiff and leaned all the way forward to stretch as best he could before looking over at Alexandre.

“How long was I out?”

Swinging his legs over, he stretched just a bit more before poking Alexandre on the cheek. “I hope you didn’t have too hard of a time waking me up, I sleep pretty heavily sometimes.” Getting up off the couch, he offered to pull the other up as he looked over and saw an entire tower of desserts. It looked amazing and he very much wanted to dig into them at least a bit if he could because his stomach hurt from how hungry he was. That or just from everything else but he could definitely eat.

“Hours…nearly five hours.” He finished softly, watching the other. “I think the warmth and the dim lighting got to you.” Because the living room was oh so very warm, the fireplace and multitude of candles had the room well heated. It was a comfortable warmth which would tire most people easily.

Puffing up his cheeks he shook his head. “It wasn’t that hard, I just had to be a bit persistent, but dinner is ready and you should eat. You can have as much as you want, since you should be starving by now.” As well as whatever he wanted to drink. He didn’t mention the desserts, René would find them easily enough, taking the offered hand he stood up slowly and smiled. “I hope everything is good.” He really did hope the other enjoyed the meal as well as the desserts.

“I ordered from a bakery and had them delivered. I figured we could talk more over dinner, and then I think I’ll skip my evening run and instead busy myself around here.” Doing what though he didn’t know for certain, it really did depend on the other and what they wished to talk about or wished to do.

“I think it was really nice and it helped with the pain in my head. I could honestly go for some more rest maybe after but… I really need to get to my shop.” Groaning again he pressed a hand to his head while walking back towards the kitchen. “Are you going to eat too? Or did you already while I was asleep?”

Taking a seat at the kitchen table, he looked over the tower of desserts and the small forks and plates. Mouth nearly watering at just how many there were, he thought he recognized where they’d come from too. It looked like the same place where he ordered breakfast at his shop sometimes. “I think I know that bakery, it’s pretty good. Though I’m more excited about the meal you made, it smells amazing. I could find a way to keep you busy, something I’ve missed for a while but we’d have to take it easy.” Teasing a bit as he reached out and ran his fingers through that pale hair of theirs.

“Good, then letting you sleep so long was well worth it.” It had also allowed him all the time needed to get dinner ready and order dessert for the other as a surprise. Alexandre was pleased with how things were going so far, a far cry from the night before, it was a lot better than the past month as well.

“My family recommended that bakery and noted that it is a French bakery. So I thought it was an obvious choice when getting dessert for tonight.” Shaking his head as he brought bowls over to the table, one for each of them, he’d already spooned out a good size portion for them both. “I’m sure you could and I’m rather inclined to accept, however perhaps a slight change so you don’t hurt yourself further. But that is if you don’t mind spending the night and not returning to your shop till morning.” He’d get the either up and drive him to work if need be, Alexandre had no issue in doing such, he was rather interested in the others' offer of how to spend the night.

“I know I’ll be sleeping a lot this first week, at least I should be. I know I can’t go around moving furniture or carrying you off for a bit, such a crime what that b***h did. However will I go on?” Joking a bit as he watched them bring the rest over. “I found out about that bakery pretty early on, if you order before 10 am they have crepes and other breakfast things. Maybe I’ll order them sometime when you come to work with me? It’ll be nice. It’s pretty boring there first thing unless someone is coming to pick something up with a moving truck before traffic gets bad.”
Starting with his food, it wasn’t that bad at all for being Alexandre’s first time cooking it. Maybe the wine choice wasn’t the best but he’d have to find a good wine to offer up for the next time, it had to be the right wine for cooking and not one so expensive to drink and enjoy. “Tastes really good and not just because I haven’t eaten in… however long.”

“I think I would be up for that and as long as you can make sure I’m at my store by 9 am then I would be alright with staying here since you said my clothes from last night are clean I can switch back into them tomorrow. It’s going to be a long day of answering questions though, I can already tell most of my regulars are going to be worried over the state I’m in.” Sighing as he went back to eating, it was going to be a bother but at least he could tell them most of the truth. It had been some crazy lady trying to rob him that beat him up, the rest really wasn’t as important to his work.

“How are you going to do your job, moving things, when you are in no shape to do so?” He questioned while leaning over his bowl and eating slowly. Blue eyes focused on the other for a moment. “I’m not so sure I’ll miss being carried about, though I’m certain you will miss it. You do seem to enjoy just picking me up like it’s nothing.” Which perhaps it was an easy thing to achieve for the other…didn’t mean he liked it, though he actually didn’t mind at all. At least he wasn’t being carried off a battlefield - that he didn’t like.

“You haven’t eaten since the bits you had this morning.” Rolling his eyes as he took a sip of his own drink, juice, he really did aim for healthy things for himself. Cooking his own foods or ordering from restaurants he didn’t do fast food or anything you just tossed in a microwave and heated up. He tried to be as healthy as he could, always really had, but he supposed it was a bit more of a concern as he got older and continued to beat his body up in service to the Negaverse. At least he was holding up well and din’t appear his age, he was doing something right.

Motioning to the desserts with his fork he smiled at the other. “Good, then it means I picked a good bakery and I’ll be ordering from them in the future. I assume if you like their breakfast then these sweets will be good as well. “And René had mentioned that he liked sweets, also savory desserts as well though. He’d have to figure that one though, perhaps question the bakery and his cousin about such things.

“I’ll get you to work on time, I might even stay for a while, I don’t have a lot to do in the morning.” Another bite of food and he was leaning back in his seat.

“I really only need to move things around when I get new stuff in from the depot but I can just put a pause on shipments from overseas for a bit or ask them to hold things for a bit until I can get back to it. And I do enjoy carrying you about, it’s one of my favourite things to do.” Leaning over he kissed their cheek softly. “Plus I like being able to carry you off to bed, it’s so very fun.” Whispering just in case that cousin of theirs was around somewhere.

“Oh, I guess it’s a bit fuzzy then. I think everything’s going to be like that for a bit maybe. Snips here and there like the last time.” Finishing up the first part of his meal, he went to pick through the desserts and filled a small plate with them. They were all good, he knew that from having tried everything on the menu by now.

“I’d really like that if you stayed with me for a bit. I wouldn’t want you to miss any of your classes though. But… I am going to be a bit nervous that you’re going to disappear again for a bit.” It would take a while to not be worried about it, especially with how it had happened with no warning.

“Or, I could bring Katya with me to your shop and I can move things as needed. So long as no one can see through the windows I could safely, and easily, move things for you.” The strength being a General afforded him would permit him to move things about the others shop, not that René knew that, but it did afford him a lot.

Yeah, he wasn’t surprised that the other enjoyed that. The tips of his ears were pink at the thought of it, and what came after that, he could say he enjoyed all that as well because it was true. But he shouldn’t be thinking such things right now, he really shouldn’t. Those thoughts were for later, after dinner and dessert.

“I won’t let the time spent in the shop interfere with my classes, I could do homework and papers from the backroom though.” So it would allow him time to do his school work while René did the business end of his shop, since he would not be moving things about, and he’d help where and how he could as well. “I understand, I really do. I’ll be sure to make up for that and assure you I’m not going to vanish.” Because at some point he was sure René would vanish on him, or dump him. He didn’t say this though as he worked to finish off his bowl of food while watching the other pick through the desserts. “Anything you don’t eat now you’ll be taking home with you in the morning, since I don’t have a sweet tooth myself.” And Hudson could make his own desserts. These were for René.

“Katya? Is that another of your cousins? And I wouldn’t want you hurting yourself trying to move things. Other than the front door I think all the windows are below street level so not really anyone can peek in. It’s been pretty nice with the back room, makes it a nice place for things and sleep.”

Taking a sip from this glass of water, René finished off his small plate of desserts before grabbing a few more. He was starting to feel pretty full at this point but a bit more dessert wouldn’t hurt.

“If you need to you can pull the nightstand around to use as a desk too, or you can sit by me at the counter and work if it’s slow?” Scooting closer, bit by bit, he rested his head on them again. “I’m glad… I really did miss you…” Even if it sucked that he was still a mess after everything, he would figure things out as he could.

“No, Katya is something of a cat. I say something of a cat because she is a mauvian, an alien and a cat. She can speak, among other things, one of those being her ability to cover my energy signature so I can power up and move things. I have a lot more strength that way, more than enough to do the job for you.”

“I’ll keep that in mind and likely switch between the nightstand and front store to do my work. I think I’d prefer that, as being in one spot too long might become too boring.” Petting the others hair as René leaned in his head - tall people. “I missed you as well, something I’m certain Katya will tell you about.” She had been home earlier but where she was now he didn’t know, perhaps she had gone to see Lorcan or she was reading somewhere in the hour. He also wouldn’t put it past her to be spying on them and reporting to his younger cousin.

“Oh… that’s… something. You’re not pulling my leg, right? This is like that pen right?” Reaching down and pulling the thing from his pocket, he looked it over for a bit as the other spoke. Then like that he paused and looked at the other a bit more. “You picked me up… didn’t you? Carried me off last night?” It was still pretty fuzzy but he remembered hearing their voice and the voice of a woman or maybe it was…. a cat?

“I think I’d like that, maybe I’ll sneak a peek at what you’re learning or your textbook once I’m less foggy. It’s been a while since I was in college but it was fun back then with how big the library was.”

“Mm, it is a thing. You’ll be stronger too when you use that pen, I might still be stronger though. I might not be now but the boost I get might put me over the top.” They weren’t likely to be even, not like they were now. He was certain that when, because he wouldn’t allow for an if, René made eternal the other would be stronger just like Korcan and Hudson would be. They were all stronger than him as civilians so power d and equal in rank they would be stronger. He was fine with it, because he was still stronger than his civilian self.

“I did carry you last night, it was awkward given your height but it wasn’t hard.” Shrugging as he spoke he tilted his head a bit.

“I’m working on a botany degree, nearly done as well, I just have this semester left. I take it you like to read and learn?” Perhaps a date for them could be a simple shopping spree at a bookstore? It was an idea, one he’d never had before.

“Oh that sounds fun, might make work a bit easier but it sounds a bit like cheating too. Though it sounds kind of romantic with you carrying me off, sorry that I’m tall.” Poking them just a bit, he finished the last few desserts on his plate and just settled against them.

“I remember you telling me that you would finish up this year. I don’t just like reading, I love it. All sorts of stories, and things to learn, it’s one of my favorite things to do. However, when I went to university, I flitted between a few things before settling down on a degree. I dabbled in history, business, and fine art. One of those wasn’t something I wanted to do but it worked out in the end for me.”

Sitting up, he felt a bit better than he had even if he knew he still looked rough. He stretched just a bit to try and work out some of the soreness, but instantly regretted it and felt a jolt in his stomach which set him curling into himself a bit as he hissed. “Maybe some more laying down, even if it’s not sleeping just yet. I wanna hear more about things and you… maybe more about what happened this last month.”

“It is cheating but I did earn it.” Rather quickly but it had been well earned, and needed as well, the strength he’d earned had served him well over the years. “What did you settle on getting a degree in?” Curious and wanting to know, history and art did play into each other a bit but business was vastly different. “I would guess business, because you own a business, but what you do and what you have a degree in can be different things.” And a fine arts degree wouldn’t surprise him either, and perhaps it helped a bit with the sort of business he had.

Laughing he ruffled the others hair. “Fine, let's get up to my room so you can lay down and I’ll tell you what you want to know. Assuming you aren’t interested in other ways to occupy your time?” He questioned standing slowly and offering the other a hand up.

“I’m rather fond of your height, it’s useful.” He teased.
