"Micha relaxed as he lay there. He enjoyed the comfort Samuel brought him from his warmth. Micha was starting to grow tired but not enough to completely doze off yet. He was still willing to make random conversation with Samuel. Micha found his questions important but also amusing. There were little things he knew that Samuel would question him about when it came to moving in together. After all their personalities were different, they were bound to have different styles. He listened as Samuel spoke and couldn’t help but laugh as Samuel mentioned his hatred of small dogs women shoved in purses. Micha could understand his dislike for such small things; he really didn’t like small animals either. He didn’t mind the idea of getting a dog if they moved in together, though as long as they agreed on one together. ”What kind of dog breeds are you interested in then if you don’t like the small ones?” Micha asked curiously since he could understand not wanting an exotic pet, they were more of a hassle than just a dog or cat. "

Now that they were bathed and getting warm, he too was starting to feel a bit sleepy. But his head was still abuzz with unanswered questions. He kept his attention on Micha, curious if he was going to answer his initial question or just keep asking Samuel questions instead. Soon hearing Micha speak again, he wasn't surprised when it was another question. He thought for a moment before answering. There were quite a few breeds that he liked. It was a little hard to narrow them down. "Hmm I guess if I had to list them some of my favorites would have to be German shepherds, pit bulls, chocolate labs, Alaskan huskies, English bulldogs, and golden retriever's." he replied. "What about you? What breeds do you like?" Samuel hoped that this time Micha might actually answer his question instead of avoid it and answer with another one entirely. While he did encourage Micha to question him from time to time he did want his input on the matter.

"Micha knew he was merely being deflective when he asked a question to Samuel’s question. He couldn’t help though but it only seemed to help give him more information about Samuel if he asked his own questions as well. Micha knew Samuel probably got irritated with his way of conversation. He only hoped it didn’t bother him too much but he figured if it did Samuel would have said something. Micha listened as Samuel answered his question. He found it rather surprising they seemed to agree on a few of the same dog breeds. ”I’d have to say German Shepherds, Pitbulls, and Huskies are more my type of dog.” Micha spoke answering Samuel’s question. He didn’t mind Samuel’s other choices, but he found that German Shepherds, Pitbulls, and Huskies were more protective of their masters and willing to stand by their side through harsh times. "

While it was annoying to have his questions ignored so many times he wasn't about to argue about it. He was too tired and honestly didn't have it in him to start another fight. He was perfectly happy with the way this cinversation was going. While it wasn't too helpful on his part, Micha seemed to be getting all the information he wanted about Samuel. He was pleasantly surprised that Micha liked some of the same breeds as he did. To be honest, he had wondered if they wouldn't even be able to on something as simple as that. But it seemed he was wrong. Samuel wouldn't mind having to choose between those few breeds. In his experience they all seemed to be quite loyal and good companions to their owner(s). "Cool. In that case I'm buying us a dog after we move in together." he said jokingly. This was a very nice start in his opinion. Finding out what the other wanted and talking like reasonable adults. He didn't want anything to ruin this moment. But now warm and cozy sleep was threatening to overtake him once more. Samuel turned his head as he yawned widely. "It's getting late. Should we pick up tomorrow" he asked.

"Agreeing about a dog would be the easiest thing they would do when it came to moving in together. The hardest thing might be getting used to being together in the same space. Micha was used to being on his own, though he was willing to push pass his own insecurties. He wanted to be with Samuel on a permanent basis. Micha didn't want to hide around what was between them. He was happy that Samuel was willing to break his own insecurities and introduce him to his family. Micha was nervous and scared by the idea of meeting Samuel's family, though he wasn't likely to admit it. He laughed softly as Samuel spoke about buying a dog as soon as they moved in together. Micha nodded, "Yeah, as long as we agree though." He spoke not wanting to get a dog Samuel picked only to have the dog hate him. Micha wanted a dog they both good love and enjoy having. He knew it was getting late and he was growing tired as well. Micha could feel sleep coming over him. He didn't know how much longer he could stay awake and be functional enough to converse. Micha heard Samuel yawn behind him, glad not to be the only one tired. He heard Samuel speak and couldn't help but agree. "Probably should..." Micha spoke yawn softly himself. He shifted on the bed as he turned to face Samuel. Micha slipped closer as he kissed Samuel, "Good night." He spoke softly as he pulled away. Micha closed his eyes as he started to relax letting himself drift to sleep. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

While it would certainly be a change to suddenly be living together, Samuel honestly didn't think it would be that hard. After all they were already spending most of their time together and switching back and forth between sleeping at one anothers' homes almost every night. The only issue he really saw was finding a place that could easily accommedate both of their needs. While for Micha that included rooms for painting, his piano, and work. Samuel also needed a place to work, his mancave, and a pool. As he thought about it, they were probably going to need a place with atleast three to five bedrooms. Depending on the room sizes they could probably go for something less. He knew that getting someplace big would be wasted on them both. Mainly Micha since the man only owned a handful of furniture. And given how his parents were likely to react to him having a male lover, there was a good possibility that Samuel wouldn't have anything at all to contribute. As far as pets went, he knew it was important that they chose one that liked them both. After all what was point if the animal sucked up to only one of them while growled and bit at the other? Samuel didn't want a dog like that. The night wore on and it was getting harder to ignore the tired feeling weighing him down. Samuel moved his arm out of the way as Micha shifted beside him. He kissed him back then moved to settle down himself. In almost no time at all Samuel was closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

The next morning Samuel woke up feeling refreshed. Compared to the night before he had slept ever so soundly and peacefully. It was a wonderful feeling really. Cracking his eyes open, the first thing he saw was Micha. He smiled to himself and was half tempted to wake up. But he knew better. He was well aware of how much Micha wasn't a morning person. Even moe so after the events of yesterday. Leaning over Micha he pressed a kiss to his forehead and slipped out of bed. Samuel got up and grabbed his jeans, pulling on, and heading downstairs. He quietly padded through the halls and into the kitchen. He had no idea what Micha had in his cabinets, if anything, and opted for fresh coffee instead. Walking towards the counter Samuel dumped last night's coffee into the sink and tossed the filter in the trash. It took him all of three minutes to find where he stored his replacement filters and another two to find a bag of coffee. Samuel then went through the familiar motions of replacing the filter, scooping out the coffee, and starting the machine. He then leaned against the counter and waited.

"There wasn't alot he owned. The amount of items he owned was likely to fit in one of Samuel's rooms he had in either his pent house or mansion. There were thinng he knew he would be getting rid of when it came to moving together. He didn't mind though but in the mass of it all, his piano and art supplies were a must for him along with his camera and laptop. Micha lay there thinking about it though the more he thougt about it, the more tired he was growing. Sleeping started to settle in as lay there. He couldn't hold his eyes open any longer. As he lay there it seemed he wasn't the only one as Samuel's breathing started to slow. Micha drifted off to sleep allowing it to wrap around him and comfort him.

When morning came, Micha barely noticed Samuel wake beside him. He was curled up beneath the sheets with them wrapped around his lets. Micha had his pillow pulled close to his head as slept soundly. He felt the weight of the bed move as Samuel moved beside him. Micha could be a deep sleeper on some occasions but it was hard not to notice when Samuel let his bed. He felt the kiss to his forehead before Samuel slipped away. Micha continued to drift in a light sleep but it was impossible now that he was awake.

Once Samuel left heading downstairs, Micha shifted in the bed rolling over onto his back. He started to stretch out, soon realizing he mistake. Micha groaned out in pain as he curled up again. He had forgotten about yesterday morning as the pain settled back deep in his chest. Micha lay there for what seemed like hours but it was mere minutes. He allowed himself to relax taking in deep breaths as he let the pain wash over him. Micha eventually managed to move into a sitting position as he ran a hand through his hair. It was sticking up in the back but he hardly noticed. He shifted standing up as he looked around the room. Micha managed to find his boxers as he pulled them on. He walked toward the stairs, taking them one at a time slowly until he reached the bottom step. Micha could smell the bitter sweet scent of coffee. He walked toward his kitchen area as he saw Samuel leaning against the counter. Micha continued into the kitchen thankful for the coffee Samuel had started already. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Aside from the low gurgling coming the coffee machi e the studio was pretty quiet. Samuel leaned against the counter, glancing around the small kitchen. He assumed today was going to be his last time seeing it since he promised Micha sanctuary. Though at this point he wasn't sure that was still going to happen. Last night they had tzlked about so much. Some topics went into further details than others, while some were so short and overlooked they were now easily forgotten. Fortunately he still remembered ost of their conversations, inckuding their most recent. It weighed heavily as he still wanted to talk more about their future. It wasn't s though Samuel was hoping they would move in together but there were plenty of other areas he was curious about. For example, where did Micha stand on flooring? Personally Samuel liked hardwood floors for main rooms like the living and dining rooms and the kitchen. Whereas he perferred carpet in the bedrooms and his study. There were quite a few other details questions just like that one buzzing around his skull. He tried to will the thoughts away, arguing with himself that it was too early to play twenty questions. But sadly his brain, like always, refused to listen.

As he stood in the kitche arguing with himself, Samuel soon heard movement from upstairs. He'd honestly meant to be more quiet when he came down earlier but it would seem no matter how quiet he was, Micha would always hear him. He listened for what seemed like ages before Micha started down the stairs. He wouldn't have minded going to see if the male wanted help, but something held him back. Whether that was a feeling of knowing it might be unwanted or fear the male would lash out at him again for trying to be helpful where it wasn't needed he couldn't say. Samuel continued to stay back against the counter as if he hadn't heard a thing. "Good morning." he said when Micha came in to view. "Hope you don't mind, I kind of just helped myself." He offered Micha a sheepish smile with his words. He doubted Micha would mind. He hardly ever did. But still, it didn't change the fact that this wasn't his kitchen. The machine gurgled for just a few minutes before it let out a low hiss and declaring the coffee to be done. Turning to the cabinets, Samuel pulled out two mugs, handing one to Micha so he could mix everything to his liking. Whereas Samuel simply pulled out the pot and poored the contents straight into the mug. Replacing the coffee pot, he moved aside to give the male some counter space.

"Since last night there were few questions he had himself buzzing on his mind. He was worried about meeting Samuel’s family and curious about the idea of moving in together. Micha really didn’t have much specification when it came to the idea of floors or how the rooms should be as long as he had a place to put his things. He was pretty relaxed about the idea of what he wanted, though he knew he would demand a few things. Micha worried about the idea of moving in together as his idea of working was not always a quiet one. When it came to being in his studio painting, he usually liked to blast his stereo, it allowed him to think and calm down. He wasn’t sure what Samuel thought of that idea especially at weird hours of the day. It was something that would eventually be talked about at a closer time but not now there were other things to worry about.

As he entered the kitchen, he watched as Samuel took notice of him. Micha’s own walk was a little slower than normal. He was working on adjusting to this morning’s pain. Hearing Samuel speak he shook his head lightly. ”No, I don’t mind…I could use some coffee myself.” Micha spoke softly smiling back at Samuel. He never really did mind what Samuel got into. Micha found that his kitchen was always open to Samuel’s needs, even if it was bare of essential necessities. He moved to lean against the counter to wait beside Samuel to wait for the coffee. It wasn’t long before he heard it gurgle signaling a sign that it was done. He moved aside as Samuel moved to get mugs from his cabinet. Micha thanked Samuel was he was handed a mug. He waited as Samuel got his coffee from the pot before grabbing it and filling the mug with his own morning coffee. Micha moved toward the small fridge he had and pulled out the French vanilla creamer and poured some into his mug, then replaced the creamer back into the fridge. He grabbed a spoon from his drawer and poured some sugar into his mug then started to mix the contents together. Micha took a sip making sure it was to his liking before he started toward his futon and took a seat on it. He pulled up legs up onto the seat as he crossed them. Micha started to sip on his coffee slowly not wanting to burn his tongue. "

Standing aside, Samuel smiled back and nodded silently as Micha spoke. After handing him a mug he watched him shuffle about the kitchen to gather the items needed to destroy his coffee. Samuel sipped on his own, wrinkling his nose at the amount of sugar Micha was adding to his own. Taking another sip, he pushed away from the counter when the male was finished and followed him into the living room. He said nothing as Micha spread out on the futon, opting to sit on the floor instead. "How are you feeling today?" he asked curiously. He doubted there would be much of a diffence, if any at all. But it was the thought that counts. He took a few more sips before setting his mug on the coffee table in front of him. Samuel then leaned his head back against the cushion, closing his eyes for a moment. While he had slept fine and wasn't likely to go back to sleep, he was still feeling tired. He blamed everything that had happened in the last thirty or so hours. They had been stupid, reckless, and causing each other unnecessary pain. If that wasn't enough add his ramblings of meeting the family and moving in together. He had been quite serious about both matters, but he wondered if it would have been better to wait about bringing them up. He didn't want Micha thinking he was trying to jump the gun wanted to do this all at once. He was all talk for now. Maybe someday in a year or two he'd want them to move in, but certainly not right now. As for his family, he was going to leave the planning up to them. If it just so happened they wanted to meet up next weekend or next month, thay was fine with him. Samuel was in no rush to lose everything he owned.

"When it came to coffee, he was not a fan of its bitterness. Micha preferred the sweetness from sugar and cream to make it perfect enough to drink. He knew how much Samuel disliked it, though he never minded the looks. Samuel was welcome to make funny faces, while he enjoyed the sweetness of his mixed concoction. Micha took a seat on the futon with his legs crossed beneath him. He watched as Samuel soon joined him and took a seat on the floor. Micha sipped on his drink as he glanced down at Samuel. He listened as Samuel spoke, shrugging lightly. "My ribs still hurt probably more than yesterday...but what's to expect" Micha spoke knowing he probably needed to get some pain killers. He watched as Samuel sipped on his coffee a little then set it aside. Micha relaxed as much as he could as he sat there. Breathing was starting to hurt now that he was sitting up and awake. He watched as Samuel leaned his had back against the cushion and closed his eyes. Micha shifted setting his own mug aside. He moved closer toward Samuel as he shifted to lie down. Micha slipped his hand up as he ran his fingers through Samuel's hair, "Tired?" He asked knowing he was stating the obvious but still couldn't help but ask. Micha wasn't all that tired, as he had slept a few hours and wasn't likely to get much rest even if he tried. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

He was quiet for a moment while Micha spoke. He had kind of figured that things wouldn't be much better injury wise. Based on his own experience, when it came to bones the pain was bond to be worse befoe it got any better. "Should probably take something after you eat breakfast. " he replied. He then settled back against the couch. Samuel thought for a moment what exactly they could. He knew that Micha didn't really keep this place fully stocked like his kitchen at home. He was in no shape, form, or fashion going to wait on Micha to cook for them. But they couldn't rely on his cooking either. He had thought about just going out to buy them both something from one of the nearby fast food restaurants. He just wasn't sure how Micha felt about him offering to buy something again.

As he sat there letting his various thoughts fill his head he soon felt Micha shift behind him and his fingers in his hair. He smiled at the feeling. Cracking his eyes open Samuel met Micha's gaze for a moment before closing them again. "A little. Mentally." he said softly. "I think it's more like the weight of everything I've said within the last thirty-six hours is starting to sink in. If that makes any sense." Samuel opened his eyes again. He was still curious how Micha felt about all this. Although they had talked plenty, it felt like Samuel had been doing most of it. He was aware of how much of a chatter box he could be, but a lot of what was said last night was important. He didn't want it to be so one sided. He wanted Micha to tell him what he was thinking so they could avoid anymore useless fights. He also wanted to know what kind of direction Micha wanted this relationship to take. There was so much he was feeling a little anxious.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"Last nights events were still working on settling in on his mind. He had not yet determined what he thought of everything. Micha was both delighted yet confused about his own emotions. He was surprised too about last night, he hadn't expected things to go as they had. Being together one was thing but the talk of moving in together was another as well as meeting Samuel's parents. Micha wasn't opposed to either, he was interested in the idea of meeting Samuel's parents, if he thought it was best. Though he never thought Samuel would want to move in together, but it wasn't surprising seeing as they were always together, it made sense.

At the moment the idea of food sounded lovely, after all he hadn't had much to eat yesterday. He knew food and pain killers were simply what he needed to help ease the pain then he could think clearly. Micha nodded slightly hearing Samuel speak, "Yeah, I will.." He spoke knowing they both needed food. Micha wondered what was close by they could get something to eat at. There was also the matter of getting dressed. He needed to return to his house some time to day to get more clothes but till then he could managed with what he had in his storage room.

Micha laid there as he toyed with Samuel's hair. He watched as Samuel opened his eyes before soon closing them again. Micha listened as Samuel spoke, he could understand his reasoning. He lay there as Samuel continued to speak. His fingers ran though Samuel's hair as he shifted a little. "It does after all...Last night was full of surprises.." MIcha spoke teasing Samuel a little. "But I'm not sure what to think...At the same time I'm happy about everything yet scared too." He spoke as he lay there. His hand stilling for a moment as he thought about what worried him before picking up his needless playing of Samuel's hair. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Relaxing beneath the males gentle Samuel smiled a little when Micha first spoke. In an odd way it made him feel at ease to know he was still making sense. Things had been so hectic as of late he worried he had long stopped making sense during their last argument. Still, despite the craziness he held no regrets for last nights' conversation. Asking Micha about eventually moving in together felt like a step in the right direction. After all they were always together, even now. Even wanting to come out felt right. But still, there was a lot he worried about. It felt like so much of his life was on the line if he went through with these two major decisions. Samuel smiled as Micha teased him. When his hand stilled, he cracked open his eyes once more to peak up at the male. His expression was a little hard to read but he understood perfectly what he was saying. It was the same for Samuel.Raising his arm, Samuel reached behind Micha's neck. He gently curved his fingers along his and leaned up to press an awkward yet effective kiss to the males lips. Pulling back he resumed his position, slumped against the couch. He waited for Micha to start playing with his hair again before speaking. "I know the feeling. Is there any reason in particular that feeling scared?" he asked curiously.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"Samuel made plenty of sense. There were times when he babbled on when he didn’t, but this wasn’t one of those times. Last night’s events were a big surprise to him. Micha never expected Samuel to suddenly confess he had told his parents about him. He didn’t think Samuel would be so open about their relationship especially seeing he had kicked him out of his house when his brothers came over. Micha was a little worried how Samuel’s parents would take the news of their son being gay. He was worried mostly for Samuel; after all he stood his ground on money and status. As for moving in together, that was something he didn’t mind doing after all it would at least allow them to be together without constantly driving back and forth.

The still of his hand probably caused worry within Samuel. Micha couldn’t help his thoughts from clouding his mind. He glanced to see Samuel had turned to look at him. Micha watched as Samuel reached up behind his neck. He felt Samuel’s fingers slide over his own. Micha kissed Samuel back before Samuel pulled away. He waited a second before picking up where he left off with playing with Samuel’s hair. Micha heard Samuel speak and sighed softly. It was hard to explain what he was feeling as his nervousness and scared behavior wasn’t for himself. He shifted as he sat up slowly on the couch. Micha moved as he stood up and moved closer toward Samuel. He shifted as he took a seat sliding into his lap, as he straddled him facing him. Micha slipped his arms around Samuel’s neck as he sat there. He looked down a little as he held onto Samuel. ”The fear is not for me…It’s for you…I want to move in together yes…but is telling your family the right thing? I mean what happens if they don’t approve?” He spoke softly his words almost inaudible. Micha didn’t want Samuel getting hurt by his family, he knew what it was like getting hurt and he didn’t want to see it happen to Samuel."
