made himself comfortable.

The scroll through movies seemed unending. The only ones that sounded good were ones he’d seen already.

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

With a smile he tossed a blanket in the other’s direction.

“What I wouldn’t do to have my rats call me a pet name!” Hartley chimed in response, “Could you imagine?”

He looked to his rats and mimicked a little voice,

“Welcome home Dear!”

The blonde chuckled as he

want one? I’ve got plenty to spare! I.. might hoard them honestly.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

It made him so happy that Ted liked his rats. They were very special to him after all.

“No worries… it usually takes me three times as long to chose a movie,” he answered truthfully.

Hartley leaned over the arm of the couch and grabbed himself a blanket.

“Do you

his smile remained.

“Of course I’m happy Theodore! It’s always fun spending time with you.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

“Paper bag, plastic bag, REUSABLE bag!” he replied triumphantly. Another laugh escaped him from his silly they were being.

He grinned wide as he looked at the other male.

“I mostly like psychological horrors and ones that keep you guessing.”

Hartley scrunched his nose and

“I’m partial to paper bag movies~” Hartley teased lightly before laughing.

Ted was good company. Someone nice to have around.

“In all seriousness! I love horror movies. Well , not all. Slasher films are kinda not good.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

I didn’t ask before because I forgot to, but what genre of movies do you like?” the blonde questioned curiously while walking into the living room.

He plopped down on the sofa before grabbing the remote.

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

Hartley followed the other into the kitchen and watched him clean the dishes. Science was so neat! Constantly evolving every single day.

“That’s so cool!”

He loaded up his own dishes into the dishwasher. A little chuckle escaped him as he nodded his head.

“Movie time!

nothing was sounding good so I searched Pinterest and found recipes!”

Wow! Ted really seemed to like it! That made him happy as he began to dig in himself.

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

Setting everything down he took off the lids exposing the food beneath them.

“I kinda went all in on a Mediterranean theme so I made green garlic chicken, lemon potatoes, and risotto.”

He was very proud of himself.

“Also I had every intention on ordering take out but -

and walked back into the kitchen.

He pulled a frying pan off the stove with a pot holder.

“There’s another holder on the counter if you want to grab the pot on the stove for me.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

“I bet your lasagna was good!”

He was just leaning against the door frame while he watched Ted play with his rats. A placid smile formed over his lips.

“You can help me bring it to the table if you want to!” Hartley chimed in response.

With that he stood straight

explained, “Now they absolutely adore almost everyone.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

Hartley nodded his head quickly.

“Yeah! I hope you like it or we might be getting take out anyway!”

Watching Ted with his rats was adorable. He loved when others liked them as well.

“I made sure to socialize them thoroughly when they were still babies,” the blond

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

Hartley let out a little chuckle.

“Well~ I’m not going to tell you how much I spent but- I cooked! Surprise!” he chimed while watching as Ted b-lined for the rats.

Oh good! They seemed to like him!

“I’m sure they love being called cute, little hams.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

He smiles softly in return and nods his head.

‘That would be nice thank you.’

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

He simply shakes his head as he signs out,

‘Not really , but we can talk about other things.”

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

before answering the door.

“Hi! Come on in!”

Three little noses were already sniffing at the air.

[Hᴀʀᴛʟᴇʏ Rᴀᴛʜᴀᴡᴀʏ @MelodiousPiper]

When he heard the knock he frantically looked down at the time on his phone. Shoot , it really was time for Ted to be there and he was putting the final touches on the food. Welp there was nothing to be done about it.

Hartley undid his apron and laid it on the counter
