“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel remained quiet while Micha took everything he'd said in. He knew it was a lot to think about, especially since they were still very early into their relationship. He gave a light shrug as the male asked how long he was going to be gone. Samuel watched the male as he turned away. For someone curious to know, now that the possibility was real, he seemed like knowing was the last thing on his mind. "Right now it's looking like it could be about a week, two at most." he replied softly. Reaching around behind him, he grabbed the males' hand and intertwined his fingers. He allowed the silence to settle for a few minutes again to let Micha again absorb this new information. "Hey," he said, nudging the male lightly,"You ate yet? I need food that isn't of the carbonated or caffeinated variety." Though it was an important conversation, Samuel didn't want to talk about work all night. He wanted to get out of here and relax. If that meant dragging Micha along with him, he had no problem with that.

" MIcha knew he probably should have had a more natural reaction to the news and be more irritated but he didn't want to seem to clingy. He was glad that Samuel had told him the news but didn't want to act as if he needed to know everything when it happened. Micha nodded as Samuel spoke feeling him shift beside him. He glanced toward Samuel feeling his hand grab his own and lacing them together. "Thanks for telling me." Micha spoke simply knowing Samuel had a job to do. He could always text him if he wanted to talk to him after all two weeks would probably fly by once he got back on a regular schedule with work. Micha heard Samuel speak feeling him nudge him. He looked toward Samuel as he spoke about food. Micha shook his head, "No...I haven't yet." He spoke knowing Samuel probably hadn't either. Micha had been too busy as usual to eat today. His only food consumption consisted of coffee as usual when he was working. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel smiled a bit as the male thanked him for telling him. It was no big deal to him, but he also didn't want Micha getting mad at him either for just up and leaving without a word about it. As he sat there some more, his stomach rumbled in demand for food. He tried to remember what his last actual meal was that didn't involve a multi-grain bar and some over caffeinated and carbonated drink. Sadly no such day was coming to mind. He glanced up towards the male as he spoke again. "Care to join me then?" he asked, hoping the male to say yes. "It's nothing fancy, but I was thinking of grabbing something from the diner down the street. It's probably the only thing around here that is still open this time of night." Samuel already knew how bad his own eating habits had been these last few days. he could only think how Micha's own diet had been going. Knowing the photographer, it was probably about just coffee and air. Micha had once told him that when he was into his work, it was all that consumed him and things like food and sleep weren't too important.

"Micha knew it didn’t seem like a big deal which it wasn’t. He was just glad Samuel had told him so he didn’t have to find out by showing up to the club only to find out Samuel had gone out of town a few days earlier. As he sat there in silence with Samuel, he heard the sound of Samuel’s stomach growl. Micha smiled knowing Samuel was probably just as hungry as he was. He heard Samuel speak as Samuel offered the idea of them going to get something to eat together. Micha nodded, ”Sure.” He spoke knowing he needed to eat. Micha didn’t care what he ate, food was food. He heard Samuel speak mentioning the diner down the street. Micha didn’t mind where they went nor did he care. He just was glad to take a break finally and see Samuel even if it meant grabbing a late dinner. ”That’s fine. I don’t mind.” Micha spoke smiling at Samuel as he glanced toward him. He knew his eating habits were horrible especially when he got working. Micha was small in size as it was but when he was too wrapped into thoughts food was the last thing on his mind. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Glad to have the male come along with him, he released the males' hand and moved back over to his desk. "Just give me a minute then we can leave." he said, leaning over his laptop to save what needed to be saved and close everything else. Once that was down, he shut down the whole thing, gathered up his power cord, laptop bag, and suit jacket. He also checked himself to make sure he had his phone, keys, and wallet. Samuel didn't bother straightening up papers, or putting much else away. It wasn't like his work was going to simply walk off and no employee had the stones to try to steal anything from him either so that wasn't an issue either. When he was sure he had everything he needed, he ushered the male out of the office, turned out the lights and locked the door behind them. Leading the way back up the narrow hallway, Samuel paused on their way out to toss the keys to one of his few remaining employees, instructing him to lock up tonight and put the keys in the usual place. The employee nodded in response, he was a scrawny man, one of the local college kids he'd hired on that proved to be more useful than the last bunch he'd hired.

With everything settled, Samuel led Micha out of the club and towards his car. This week instead of the mustang, he drove a bright red Dodge Challenger SRT-8. Bright headlights flashed and the locks popped as he hit the disarm button on his keys. Being a gentleman, Samuel went around to open the door for the male, closing it behind him as he got in. He then went around back to place his laptop and jacket in the trunk, making a mental note to retrieve both when he got home. Walking around the rest of the car, Samuel slipped into the driver side, the engine roaring to life as he started up the car. Buckling up, Samuel gave a few minutes to let his car warm up before pulling out of the spot and heading to the diner.

"As he agreed to the idea of food, Micha felt Samuel release his hand. He watched as Samuel moved to get up so he could gather his things. Micha didn't mind waiting as he stood up. He stretched his legs as he slipped his hands into his pocket as he stood there. Micha watched as Samuel gathered his laptop as well as his charger and stuffed them into his bag. He moved heading toward the door as Samuel continued to gather his things. Once Samuel had his things, Micha left his office as he was sent out. He waited in the hallway while Samuel locked up. Micha followed Samuel down the hallway. He waited as Samuel handed off his keys to an employee to lock up.

Once Samuel finished speaking with his employee, Micha followed Samuel out of the club and toward his car. He watched the lights flash as Samuel unlocked the car. Micha continued toward the car heading toward the passenger side. He thanked Samuel as he opened his door for him. Micha slipped inside the car and moved to buckle himself in as Samuel shut the door. He watched as Samuel slipped around the car and opened the driver's side door to get inside. Micha relaxed in the seat as Samuel started up the car soon pulling out of the parking lot and heading toward the diner. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

The streets were dark and quiet as Samuel pulled out on to the open road. Only a few drivers were out, which suited Samuel just fine. He may have been used to the crowded streets of the city, but he much preferred the quiet less traveled streets at night. The trip to the diner was a short one; just two lights and a turn and they were there. Pulling into the parking lot, not counting himself there was a grand total of three of other cars in front of familiar blue and silver building. Parking his car, Samuel cut the engine and got out of the car. Once again he came around to get the door for the male, waiting patiently for him to get out and close the door behind him. Allowing Micha to walk ahead of him, Samuel headed toward the diner entrance, just inside instead of a hostess was a sign reading "Please Seat Yourself". Samuel looked to the male, unsure of where he might to sit, "Lead the way." he said quietly, taking another glance around at their various choices.

"It was late out as Samuel drove. He glanced out the window as Samuel drove the short distance to the diner. Micha enjoyed the dark of night. It calmed him a little. As they pulled into the parking lot of the diner, Micha looked the diner over not minding what it held inside. He was starving and hardly cared. When Samuel parked the car, Micha moved to unbuckle himself. He watched as Samuel cut the engine and got out to open his door. Micha thanked him as he slipped out of the car. He started toward the entrance of the diner and opened the door slipping inside. Micha glanced around noticing the hostess sign. He wasn’t sure where Samuel wanted to sit. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he spoke nodding simply. He stepped away from the doorway and started toward a booth in the corner. Micha took a seat on one side slipping in all the way. He leaned against the wall turning to let his legs stretch out before him. Micha crossed his legs at the ankle as he sat there comfortably."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel didn't care where in the diner they sat. So long as it got them service and food in his stomach, it didn't matter. Following the male to a booth in the corner, he sat opposite him and grabbed a menu from the stand tucked under the window. While he looked over the menu and Micha made himself comfortable, a plump elderly woman appeared before them placing glasses of ice cold water down in front of them. She then kindly greeted them and asked what they would like to drink. Samuel ordered sweet tea for himself and returned his attention to the menu. He scanned through the various entrees, torn between getting a burger and fries and steak and eggs. With how hungry he felt, he didn't doubt he might be able to actually eat both. But for the sake of his stomach and not looking like a pig, he decided against it. After a few more moments deciding, he set his menu aside and leaned back in his seat with a soft sigh. Samuel took a glance around the dull establishment before returning his attention to the male. "By the way are you gonna spend the night or am I to taking you home later?" he asked curiously.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"As he took his seat, Micha reached over and grabbed a menu as well. He already knew what he wanted but he still looked through the menu just incase he changed his mind. While they sat there, it wasn't long before an eldery woman came over and placed glasses of water before them. He thanked her as he stilled browsed his menu. Micha heard her speak which drew his attention away from the menu. He glanced toward Samuel who gave his drink order before telling her that he wanted a coke. Micha knew caffine wasn't best but he wanted something sweet and not tea. He went back to looking over his menu as he sat there as well. Micha finally closed it after a while knowing he would choose what he orginally wante. He set his menu aside as he leaned back agaisnt the wall. Micha glanced around the diner as he sat there. He heard Samuel sigh across from him. Micha could only imagine Samuel was probably tired especially after working on week. He couldn't blame him either. As he sat there, Micha soon heard Samuel speak. He glanced toward Samuel as he was questioned. "Do you want me to spend the night?" Micha asked curiously not sure if Samuel wanted him to or not even though it was asked. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel gave a small shrug as Micha questioned him. He didn't mind if Micha wanted to come over. He was free to come and go as he pleased. He was simply asking since he was unsure of Micha's work schedule and was planning on sleeping in for as long as he could tomorrow. "If I didn't want you over I wouldn't ask. Or would you prefer I sleep at your place?" he replied, a small smile on his lips. Feeling a tad more awake as he teased the male, he looked up as their waitress returned shortly after with their drinks. Quietly thanking the woman, he nodded in response that he was ready to order. But before saying anything he looked to Micha to see if he was ready, letting him order first. Afterward he gave his own order of burger and fries, then handed his menu back to the waitress. When she left them alone again, he dug through his pockets to fish out his pack of cigarettes and lighter. Flipping open the top, he was sad to see that he hadn't a single one left. "You got any?" he asked, crumbling the carton and setting it aside.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

" Micha knew he could go and come as he pleased still he wasn't sure if Samuel wanted him to come over. He had a few plans but it wasn't until the afternoon so he didn't see a problem with staying over. Micha nodded as Samuel spoke knowing his question probably sounded dumb. He shook his head lightly, "I don't mind staying over at your place" Micha spoke not minding Samuel's teasing tone. He glanced to see the waitress returning with their drink so that she could take their order as well. Micha thanked her for his drink as it was set before him. He grabbed the straw as it was set on the table and unwrapped it from the paper before sticking it into the drink. Micha crumbled up the paper setting it aside. He glanced toward the waitress as she spoke. Micha ordered himself a cheeseburger and fries handing her his menu. He glanced toward Samuel as he seemed to order almost the same thing. Micha knew it was a simple meal since it was late which he didn't mind. He watched as the waitress left before glancing back toward Samuel. Micha glanced to see Samuel looking in his pocket for what seemed to be his cigarettes and lighter. He smiled as Samuel questioned him to see if he had any on him. Micha shifted as he reached into his pocket pulling out his pack and tossing it on the table toward Samuel. "Yeah here." He spoke as he shifted to lean back against the wall again. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel didn't think Micha's questioning him about staying over was dumb. In fact, he thought it quite the opposite. He found Micha could be surprisingly considerate when he wanted to be and he was grateful for it, especially knowing how hard each of them had been working this past week. Though it might have been inconvenient, Samuel still wanted to spend more time with him. He was glad though that Micha did eventually agree to sleep over. He didn't mind taking him over, but he also couldn't help thinking it would be a bit of a waste. The time in his office, a late dinner, what was that? About an hour, maybe almost two? Too short in his opinion. But he kept that opinion to himself. He should be glad just to see the male at all this week.

Leaning his elbows against the table, Samuel pushed away his empty cigarette pack. The plastic and cardboard crushed and twisted into an odd shape. He quietly thanked Micha as he took the pack as it was passed to him, slipping one cigarette behind his ear and another between his lips before passing the pack back. Cupping his hand around the tip, he flipped open the silver lighter, flicking the flint wheel a few times before it would spark. Inhaling deeply he set the lighter back down and leaned back as he exhaled slowly. "Any plans for the weekend?" he asked randomly to keep the small talk going. Samuel didn't mind the quiet. It was probably the most quiet he'd had all week. But he figured since Micha had made time to spend with him, he in turn should at least use said time wisely and not in silence.

"Micha didn’t want to be a bother. He knew Samuel probably needed more sleep than he did. Micha had less work than Samuel did. He knew he would start working more within the week after he got a better schedule. Micha was glad for the time when he got to spend it with Samuel after all when would he see him again. He watched as Samuel crumbled up his empty cigarette package. Micha nodded simply as Samuel thanked him. He wasn’t that stingy that he couldn’t share a few cigarettes. Micha watched as Samuel took a cigarette from the pack and lit the end of it. He glanced as the smoke billowed between them as Samuel leaned back. Micha didn’t mind the smoke after all he was used to it. He shrugged a little at Samuel’s question, ”Not really even though I should… I probably will just work from home or perhaps go to the studio…I need to talk and work with my new assistant a little to make sure she can actually do what I expect of her.” Micha spoke rolling his eyes a little knowing it probably sounded boring but it was what he needed to do. He glanced toward Samuel, ”What about you?” Micha asked curiously shifting in his seat as he turned to face Samuel. He crossed his arms as he leaned against the table."

He knew Micha didn't mind sharing his cigarettes, but seeing as they both knew the chain smoker he was, he thought it better to ask first than simply demand. Thanks to his work, he'd been smoking a lot more this week than even he cared to admit. He was glad that Micha made no mention of it when they were in his office earlier. He didn't doubt it reeked of thick days old cigarette smoke. Even the help of a fan and air freshener wasn't much of a match against his constant smoking. He sat back listening as Micha told him of his weekend plans. He found slight amusement in his disdain for needing to get his assistant up to speed. Samuel could sympathize with the males' situation. Whenever he hired a new employee, if there weren't enough hands on staff, it was usually him who ended up training the newbies. When the conversation was turned back to him, he took another pull before responding. "Well the club's going to be closed due to someone renting it out for a wedding reception on Saturday. Luckily it won't be til later in the evening so I can sleep in before going in to check on things. And Sunday we're closed like usual. Everything else I need to do I can do at home." he replied. Lucky for Samuel this weekend wouldn't be too much trouble. He anticipated the reception wouldn't last any longer than two in the morning and even if it did last longer, he could sleep as much as he wanted on Sunday.
