[ Instead of a welcome message, there's just muffled noises as Hunter tries and fails to get his comm to do what he wants it to do. ]

Comments

[pyrighteous]

Huh ... All right. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try then.

[ Scrub scrub. ]

Where do you swim around here?

[apuckalypse]

I learned to swim in the lake near Gram, but I think it's too cold right now.

[The weather isn't winter weather, but the outdoor water's still cold, and likely will be until summer rolls around.]

Kuma Lisa has a pool. I've been before, it's really nice. We should go there!

[pyrighteous]

All right. Uh - we can go after school in a couple days? After you rest.

[apuckalypse]

[Casey laughs, his expression deeply fond.]

You're really twisting my arm to sleep, huh. [He gives Hunter a gentle nudge with his elbow, since their hands are busy.] Thanks for looking out for me.

[pyrighteous]

Well - I mean -

[ He laughs a little, his expression going soft. ]

You really have been working hard at this. I'm a little worried too.

[apuckalypse]

Yeah... that's fair. I'm sorry for worrying you. [Even for a good cause, Hunter has enough to worry about as it is.] No more overtime! Tomorrow my real vacation starts. I'll stay in bed all day, watch me. I'll even skip school! Gotta get rid of these.

[He points to the eyebags. Yeah, he's noticed them, too.]

[pyrighteous]

Good.

[ He straightens up just enough to bump Casey's shoulder. ]

I'll skip school too. Just to make sure you stay in bed.

[apuckalypse]

Haha... maybe we really will need Mom to write a note.

[Probably not, but it would be kind of funny. There is some relief in his tone and body language, though. The idea of staying home to rest, and having company too? It's nice. He really likes that. They can just chill and not worry about anything for once.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Vacation! For good boys!! ]

You know they would. And they'd set us up with snacks too.

[apuckalypse]

[Heck yeah!]

That's true. But if they came to visit, I'd have to get out of bed...

[Rue would probably tell him not to, but he'd want to! He'd have to get up and be a good host! Hug Mom! That would be breaking the stay-in-bed rule for sure. (It's self-imposed, he can break it, gosh.)]

[pyrighteous]

Not necessarily. I bet they'd help with bed breakfast too.

[apuckalypse]

But I already promised a relaxing movie sleepover with them on my vacation! Breakfast is for sure gonna happen then. Feels unfair to ask them to come over and make us food here too.

[Mom probably would not burn eggs or almost set the kitchen on fire, though. Maybe supervision would be a good idea... at least until Hunter gets used to the timer.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Probably. Maybe. Definitely.

At least clean up wasn't so bad - he's got the stove spotless again. ]

Well okay. I can handle it on my own, I think. And ... it might be nice to have privacy.

[apuckalypse]

[Yeah, teamwork! Well, mostly Hunter, Mr. Great Cleaner, but Casey helped too. He holds up his hand, high-five!]

It's nice when it's just us sometimes, yeah.

[Boyfriend cuddles are very different from Mom cuddles. Both good, but that just means it's nice to have one or the other at different times.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Slightly greasy high five!! ]

Y-yeah uh. Not that. Mom doesn't know what we - uh - do -

[apuckalypse]

[Look out Hunter you're getting the playfully sly look again.]

Oh yeah? Have you been telling Mom what we do?

[Mom absolutely knows they cuddle and kiss, it's just fun to make Hunter blush all the way to his ears.]

[pyrighteous]

[ He is blushing SO HARD!! All the way to the tip! ]

Not - specifically just - they know!!

[apuckalypse]

[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED like it's hard]

Mom does kinda know everything... [Or at least they claim to.] They probably don't want to see it, though.

[All these teenage sons getting so mushy with each other...]

[pyrighteous]

Y. Yeah so.

[ He slips his hand into Casey's. ]

Just us and the breakfast. Okay?

[apuckalypse]

[Casey's fingers curl around Hunter's, and he leans in to kiss his cheek.]

Just us and breakfast, it's a promise. Tomorrow's gonna be only you and me.

[pyrighteous]

[ More ear blushing as he ducks his face closer to allow for kissing. ]

I'm holding you to that, Casey.

[apuckalypse]

[Oh, well, in that case, have a proper kiss, as his hand turns in Hunter's in a way that allows their pinkies to twine.]

I was hoping you would. [Sometimes he needs a little tether to hold him back from pushing himself too hard. Bad habits leftover from the end of the world.] How about this: you like rules. Set some for me!

[pyrighteous]

[ Even better!! Hunter takes a moment to return the kiss slowly, enjoying the moment. ]

Rules huh ... Okay, let me go get my notebook.

[ He is, of course, delighted. STRUCTURED RULE BREAKING!! ]

[apuckalypse]

[The delight is expected, yet still very endearing to witness. Casey grabs the kitchen timer (so they don't double-burn dinner) and heads to chill on the couch. Hopefully he won't regret these rules! He's trusting you, Hunter.]

Meet you out there, then!

[pyrighteous]

[ Look, your boyfriend is a very simple tree. He craves STRUCTURE.

He wanders back out of his room a moment later, flipping to a new page in the same notebook he's been using to chat with the guard. Pen in hand, he flops next to Casey to start writing. ]

Well. First of all, you HAVE to say in bed as much as you can. I'll get you everything you want.
