I shouldn't have needed to hear it really, I suppose I should have known and yet hearing her confirm she wasn't going anywhere seemed somehow important I suppose. Relationships, until now, had hardly ever been my thing. My longest ever time as anyone's boyfriend before Kat had lasted about one weekend before I'd seen a truly exceptional women's beach volleyball player whom I had been unable to not pay attention too. I hadn't done anything of course, but my girlfriend at the time had not taken all that kindly to my metaphorical window shopping and it had ended as quickly as it had begun. That was my one and only experience until now. This was new territory for me in a lot of ways, hell, emotions were new territory. Anything outside of simply sex was something I was still learning and maybe it was utterly foolish of me but hearing her say she had no plans to go anywhere seemed to calm something inside all the same. Hearing that admittance of love perhaps the best thing I'd heard in a damn long time- that moment of seriousness decidedly rare for the both of us. It just wasn't us and yet, I think tonight, we needed to hear it all the same. Her hand dropping lower upon my stomach saw that blue gold of my gaze glance downward, my figure shifting automatically as that chuckle hummed within my throat. I could hardly be blamed for having some reaction now could I? A woman's hands near that rather sensitive part was bound to do something. Kat forever content to give as good as she got.

My lips pressed to her own once more, her tongue tracing across them in a manner I was entirely sure would result in round two if she continued with it. In fact, I was entirely sure I could manage it within a minute or two and yet her arm, I suppose, so reluctantly required some chance to heal. Really I thought it looked better already and yet that might simply have been wishful thinking on my part. I shifted at last then, moving to help her from that bath before draping the towel around her and reaching for my own. Who said I couldn't be romantic? It was surprisingly easy when you actually cared for the person and I always had possessed at least some gentlemanly charm. That reference to Chef Kohl saw my eyes roll slightly. I am entirely assured I have never successfully cooked anything...ever and yet that she held some sort of misguided belief in me was almost endearing. My own towel wrapped around my waist as I led the way into the kitchen, releasing her hand to let her find somewhere to sit as I made my own way to that toaster. Finding the bread was hardly difficult, nor was actually loading it into the machine to toast as I turned back to Kat with that boyish grin so seeking that praise for actually managing to do something. The woman indulging me entirely as I simply snorted in amusement at her words. My head nodding briefly to her injured arm.

"Does that mean you're going to be forced to stay home for one whole night?"

There was hardly any harshness to my voice even though she knew entirely how I felt about her hunting, a tease to my words all the same at the idea I might have her to myself for an entire night again. A part of me assured she had not stayed at home nearly enough even though I knew how entirely being indoors drove her wild some times. Still, the idea that I might have her to myself without having to worry was more pleasing then I cared to admit. The sound of that toast seeing me turn once more as I pulled it easily from that toaster and onto a plate. Alright, so maybe one bit was a tiny bit burned but really it was mostly alright, my gaze eying those blackened edges before reaching for the butter in some attempt to creatively hide it before returning it to the plate and presenting it to Kat in turn. I waited then for her to actually pick up a piece and try it, studying her features a moment as if to make sure she wasn't simply pretending it was better then it actually was before that lopsided grin found my features once more.

"You better enjoy that, it's the only thing I can make and it took me a month to learn that while you were away. The fire alarms went off about thirty times. I didn't even know I had fire alarms."

Well I never use the kitchen so how was I to know they actually existed? I saw no need to mention that the alarm s had sent me running out of the apartment the first time under the belief they were some sort of evacuation warning. What Kat didn't know would hardly hurt her. I reached for my own piece of toast then, lifting it to my lips, licking the butter from them in the wake of it, entirely satisfied with my morning breakfast and sex and yet really who wouldn't be? A part of my attention on Kat still to ensure she was actually enjoying that toast- as silly as that surely was. My features frowning slightly at another thought.

"Our friend Azrael called for you a few times while you were away. I think he wants you to go hunting with him again or...something. You know, I rather think he doesn't like me. Maybe he just hasn't been laid in a really long time."

A smirk of sorts teased somewhere upon my lips as I attempted to hide it all the same, reaching for another piece of toast. The sudden sound of rain hitting those window panes seeing my gaze glance upward.

"I was going to suggest we went out today but maybe we should stay in instead. I can think of at least five things we can do and I have an endless supply of bread with which to make toast."





((Kat can probably finish this thread with her next post if you like! Though feel free to keep going if you have anything else you'd like them to do too))
