'you complete me' isn't quite right, but there's a wholeness to everything I've experienced with you— like it's something I could have been doing, but I can't imagine without you."

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Benny's heart clenched in his chest. He let his forehead rest against his partner's and closed his eyes

"You're a home to me too. I was... lost. For a very long time. I'd found a place I fit, I was happy— but you make me feel leagues happier than I was on my own. Saying

“Companionship… a place that feels…” Pause. “Like home. A person that feels like home.” He smiled at the kiss to his knuckles, turning their hands so he could return the gesture. “That’s what you are. Like we are a part of one another.”

[b. @GuardianMancer]

"What, companionship in general? Or..."

He took one of Noah's hands and kissed his knuckles.

"Something like this?"

Benny looked amused by the last comment.

"Someone like me, hmm? And what exactly am I?"

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

“I enjoy yours.” He hummed, leaning into Benny’s form. “I am very grateful for the space I have here. I didn’t think I would find something like this again… nor someone like you.”

[b. @GuardianMancer]

// I love these old saps

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Benny fiddled with the book in his lap, shifting ever so slightly into Noah once he got into bed.

"Just how close we've gotten. How much of a space you have here."

His voice was quiet and as fond as ever.

"I enjoy your presence. Your company."

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

Noah set his own mug down on the table on his side and slipped under the covers.

“I’m glad it’s not bad… but pondering what about us?”

[b. @GuardianMancer]

"Mm?"

B was drawn out of his thoughts, and he looked up at the Noah.

"Oh. Just... Us, I suppose. Nothing bad, I'm just pondering."

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

“Thinking?” He walked to the table beside Benny’s side of the bed and set the mug of tea next to him before he walked back to his own side. “About what?”

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Benny blinked out of his thoughts— all of Noah as they usually seemed to be these days. He smiled and patted the spot beside him, a book already in his lap.

"Just thinking is all."

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

Walking in with two mugs of tea. Pausing and looking between him and the wall.

“Everything alright?”

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Squinting at the wall.

Hm.

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Looking forward to it. 🥰

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Bed. It's starting to get cold outside, and I'd like us to be warm.

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Do you want to sit on the couch or in bed while we read? And do you want tea?

[b. @GuardianMancer]

I can. Just a fair warning that it starts off a little strange. It starts off with letters that a man is writing to his sister— not necessarily about the main characters of Victor and Adam.

[b. @GuardianMancer]

It's a science fiction novel! It's very popular this time of year, I think.

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Dressing up as Frankenstien could be funny this year.

But probably a bit too on the nose.

[b. @GuardianMancer]

( Benny looks sheepish. )

I've had them for a while. I just... rarely wear them out? I don't go out much in the day, so I don't have a lot of use for them to warrant getting another pair.

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

( Breaking out a in a fond smile as he pulls them out. )

Oh these are… something.

[b. @GuardianMancer]

I have some in my bag.

( He pulls them out. They're big and kinda goofy looking.)

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

Oh.

( he has not sneezed )

Should I get you some sunglasses?

[b. @GuardianMancer]

Sometimes! It doesn't work for everyone, but if I look up into bright lights, I sneeze a lot.

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

( frowning )

that… can make you sneeze?

( looking up )

[b. @GuardianMancer]

I don't think so. I just looked at the sun, I think.

( Looks up, aaaaand he's sneezing again. )

[╱𝐦𝐢𝖘𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖊 @DIASCRIOS]

Are you unwell?

( raising the back of his hand to his forehead )
