[ rests his head against riku's shoulder, turning his face so that it's faced away from the other. ]

Pre-meal snack.

[ slowly cracks a smile, lifting his free hand to ruffle rob's hair a little. ]

What's that? You can't stand anyone else's cooking except for mine? How sweet.

[ smacks at his back. ]

Putting words in my mouth. We talked about this.

[ opens his mouth, closes it. debates heavily on saying what he really, really wants to say, instead holding it back for now to instead lift himself up to begin his trek towards the kitchen. speaks as he goes: ]

So what'll it be? Soup? Salad? Sandwich? Gruel?

[ lazes on the couch for a bit longer. ]

We don't have enough for gruel. Maybe just a sandwich.

[ shakes his head a little, opening the fridge to begin his search. ]

Did you visit Anna today?

Yeah, he looked well. He wanted me to deliver a message on top of the 'hi' though.

Oh? What kind of message would that be?

To just ask him for help the next time you're on cookie duty.

But a man has his pride to uphold.

Anna's cookies might shut the kids up a little longer.

Or make them harass me for more every day.

There's cons to everything.

Hey, I know, maybe you should pay another visit. That'll shut them up for sure.

[ a short pause. ]

Nah. Probably just one of them.

[ doesn't even have to ask, already having a clear picture of said person in his mind. ]

He might be seeing you soon enough.

. . . It hasn't even been a week.

A week is like a minute in his strange little mind.

[ turns his head into his hand, shaking with quiet laughter. ]

He's fond of you, that's all.

[ sighs a little, placing the sandwich he quickly put together onto a plate before walking back into the living room to hand it over to rob. ]

He's fond of everyone.

[ accepts it gratefully, munching on it a few times before he finally speaks again. ]

A little more fondness for you, I guess.

[ makes a small sound at that as he kicks off his shoes, tugging at his tie until it's loose enough for him to unbutton his dress shirt a little. moves to take a seat on the couch once more, letting his head rest backwards onto it.

cracks an eye open when he hears a small quack a few minutes later, observing one of the ducks that had waddled out of the bathroom to make a little nest into one of his shoes. just... this face over at it. ]

[ reaches over with a free hand to give riku's hands yet another pat. ]

They missed you too.

[ decides to just let them be as one after another wander out to nestle next to his shoes, instead pushing his face into rob's hair. ]

But you missed me the most, right?

[ turns his own face to the side mostly because his mouth is full. chew, chew, swallow. then inches in a little closer. ]

That ego of yours don't need more inflating.
