The very mental image of him rolling and wiggling around like some unruly child, all in the efforts of keeping him awake was ridiculous. Samuel would likely be more amused than annoyed by antics. After kissing Micha a second time, he pulled back to tease him again. He watched as the male smirked and listened to him speak. Samuel opened his mouth dramatically in shock. "When have I ever?" he said in mock offense. As if such an occurrence had never happened. Though the idea of not ever annoying Micha was near impossible. While it was never said out loud, he knew that Micha didn't really care for half his jokes and antics. He simply tolerated his quirks out of love.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • The idea of bothering Samuel while he slept amused him as well. It was definitely something he'd have to try in the future just to annoy him. Teasing Samuel, he watched as he opened his mouth, shocked in his words. Micha looked up at Samuel as he smiled. ”Oh, never of course.” He teased as slipped closer toward Samuel and wrapped his arms around his waist as he held onto him. Micha had been used to Samuel's quirks although he had to relearn them. However, indeed regardless he still loved him. He was sure there were things about himself Samuel found annoying.

As they continued to tease one another, Samuel opened his mouth in surprise and feigned offense. He watched as Micha smiled, soon teasing him. Samuel laughed softly. "Never." he agreed. He took another half step closer as Micha drew his arms around him. Cupping the males' face with his hands, Samuel leaned down to kiss him again. Indeed, he was nowhere near perfect, as much as he tried. Still his quirks managed to come through. Samuel was trying as well to be accommodating for Micha's own quirks. He was still learning to read his mood swings and how to help him when he wanted it. He wasn't always going to get it right, yesterday being a fine example. But he loved him more than enough to keep trying.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Teasing Samuel, he smirked as he laughed and agreed with his words. Micha pulled Samuel closer as he held onto him. He watched, feeling Samuel cup his face before he leaned down to kiss him again. Neither of them were perfect. Micha knew that they would never not have problems. He however wanted to try working in it although at times like yesterday there was a misunderstanding. Micha appreciated Samuel for the help he provided even if he didn't always take his advice.

The day he stopped trying would be the day he truly no longer loved Micha. He liked to think that such a day was not possible. Even at their worst, he had never stopped trying to fix things and show that he cared. They would never be the perfect couple, and Samuel was fine with that. He didn't need perfection, just Micha. And so long as they kept trying to be a little better, that was all that mattered. Cupping the males' face, Samuel pressed another tender kiss to his lips. After feeling it returned to him, he gave him a second kiss before pulling back slightly. Samuel smiled down at the male.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • The idea of Samuel stopping loving him scared him everyday. It worried him constantly about the idea that the reason Samuel stopped caring about him was himself. Such anxiety had plagued him since the Paris incident. He had thought Samuel had stopped caring about him. Micha even worried when he arrived in Samuel's office. He hadn't expected things to turn out as they had. If anything, he'd thought Samuel would have moved on and kicked him out. Micha would have understood though was happy nonetheless.

He kissed Samuel until he stopped. Micha pulled back from his thoughts as he released Samuel. He was content holding onto Samuel though knew it would become awkward and uncomfortable after a while. Micha looked up at Samuel as he smiled down at him. ”I love you.” He couldn't help the words from escaping his lips. Micha though wasn't afraid, just needed to remind and reassure.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Such fears were understandable, Samuel had feared the very same thing leading up to his Paris trip. The whole time he couldn't figure out why Micha kept pushing him away and shutting him out. It was those same fears that lead to that incident. Despite everything, he too did not expect Micha to come back into his life. Words could not describe how happy he had been to see him, to know that he still loved him. Samuel knew that he would make mistakes and fumble with his wording, all the same he was ecstatic to have Micha back in his life.

After kissing the male, Samuel pulled back slightly. His hands slid back to drape behind his neck. He hardly cared if he was being too clingy first thing in the morning. If anything, it ought to be expected. As he smiled down at Micha, he listened to him speak. No matter how many times he heard it, he would never tire of such words. "I love you, too." he replied. Although he was well aware of the males' love for him, he appreciated the reminder. He appreciated it even more after small fights or heavy topics, it nice to have such assurance and to know that they were still on the same page with one another.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Micha wasn't bothered by Samuel's clinginess. He was exhibiting his own signs of neediness. Micha felt Samuel's hands drape over his shoulders as he looked up at him. He couldn't help but reassure Samuel with his words. Micha too appreciated hearing such words from Samuel. He knew it wasn't often that they spoke such words to each other even before splitting. However he couldn't help but be happier they were on better terms. Micha didn't want to talk about yesterday. He hoped Samuel would simply avoid it and move on. Micha knew such thoughts were rude but he wasn't in the mood to explain himself and argue so early in the morning.

Samuel was hardly bothered by Micha's own neediness. It had become something of a routine in their relationship. They had a disagreement, they would talk about it, make-up, and cling together like cats. It probably wasn't the healthiest way of going about things, but at least they cared enough to try and do better by one another. As Micha spoke, Samuel couldn't help smiling and repeating the words back to him. He enjoyed saying it just as much as did hearing it. Especially when recalling how little they said it before breaking-up. No matter how much they fought, Samuel wanted to ensure that Micha always knew that he would love him. Nothing could break that. With that said, Samuel noticed that the coffee maker had stopped and he was still feeling a bit peckish. "Do you think it's too early to order something for breakfast?" he asked curiously.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Micha didn't care how they made up as long as they did. He couldn't help that his way of understanding was clinginess and making out among other things. Micha didn't think Samuel cared either, as he could dish out his own form of affection. He was glad Samuel understood his need to have such words returned. Micha had regretted how things turned out between them previously. He felt ashamed for letting his own struggles ruin what they had. A year apart didn't change his feelings or his love for Samuel.

The coffee had been done for a few minutes now. It had probably cooled down in the time they sat and flirted. He listened as Samuel soon questioned him. Micha smiled up at Samuel, not surprised he was hungry. ”What did you have in mind?” He asked curiously wondering what Samuel wanted to eat.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Indeed, he didn't care how exactly their issues got resolved, just so long as it was done in a somewhat peaceful and respectful manner. And he certainly didn't mind showering Micha in affection afterwards, as a bit of a reminder that he still cared. As easy as it would be to sit here and blame Micha for their past grievances, the fault was not entirely his. Samuel had his role and made his choices. He was as much to blame in all of this as Micha was. It was a wound between them both that might never heal, but at the very least they could learn from it and try better for their future.

With that said, Samuel couldn't help changing the subject. He questioned Micha about getting breakfast despite the early hour. He watched the male smile and was then questioned in return. "Hmm, I was just thinking that maybe an omelet or a breakfast quiche sounded pretty good. Why? What are you feeling?" he replied. Samuel understood it was still early and that Micha might not want anything for breakfast just yet. But seeing as they were both up, why not order something.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Changing the subject allowed him to be pulled from his thoughts. He didn't want to dwell on the past but everything they argued or had a misunderstanding, his thoughts drifted. The idea of food sounded good, after all the Chinese food from last night had disappeared. Micha questioned Samuel about his idea of breakfast. He couldn't deny he was getting hungry. Hearing Samuel responding about what he was craving did sound appealing however he didn't want eggs. Micha smiled up at Samuel as he questioned him. ”Mm, chocolate pancakes and some bacon.” He commented on his current cravings. Micha was in the mood for something sweet not savory.

Dwelling on the past would do them little good. They could go over every action, every word that was said, but there was no taking it back what happened in the moment. Samuel knew that he was just as guilty when it came to obsessing over details so he thought it best to change the subject. He knew they still had quite a bit of leftovers from last night, but he wasn't exactly feeling them right this moment. Perhaps they could save it for lunch. After making a suggestion, Samuel questioned Micha in return. He watched him smile, and smiled in return, as Micha suggested a sweet combo of carbs and pork. While it wasn't something he, himself, would crave he wouldn't question him on it either. "Think our usual spot would deliver, or would you rather we take a little trip down there?" he asked again. Samuel didn't mind the idea of going out for breakfast. He merely suggested delivery because he was sometimes lazy and didn't feel like driving.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Indeed the idea of leftover Chinese food did not appeal to him for breakfast. Micha couldn't help his need for sweet and savory this morning. It shouldn't be a surprise as he usually opted for both. He watched as Samuel smiled at his own suggestion. Micha knew Samuel didn't enjoy such things. Hearing Samuel question him again. He wasn't sure if they did, although he wasn't too thrilled about the idea of getting dressed and going out. Micha was feeling lazy at the moment. ”Mm, perhaps delivery if possible…Getting dressed doesn't sound appealing.” He commented as he moved to stand and stretch so he could get his coffee.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Samuel couldn't help not being a big fan of sweets, it was merely his nature. However, if that was what Micha wanted for breakfast, he saw no reason to stop him. As Samuel questioned him again, he wondered if anyone might be out doing deliveries. He liked to think it was just early enough that someone would be available. After all, the longer they stood there the brighter his kitchen became. But he could understand if Micha wanted to get out of the house, be social. When Micha spoke, he smirked. Giving him a once over he noted the day old jeans, but he wore no top. Knowing Micha he suspected that was about all he was wearing at the moment. "Mm, not at all." he agreed. As Micha started to move, Samuel released his hold on him and stepped aside. "Well, let me go grab my phone and we'll see what we can do."

While Micha moved to get his coffee, Samuel started out of the kitchen. He walked through the familiar hall to the foyer, and up the stairs. Samuel took his time walking up the stairs to the second landing. The mansion was just as quiet and still as when he came down before only brighter. Beams of light shined through the windows, making the halls much easier to navigate. Still, it wasn't enough for his bedroom. Flipping on a light switch, Samuel moved towards his side of the bed. He shuffled through some things on his night stand, pocketing a packet of cigarettes as well as one of his many lighters floating around the house. When he didn't immediately spot his phone, he moved the pillows and shook out the blanket just to be sure. With no luck, he turned his gaze to the dresser. Walking towards it, there sat his phone along with his wallet. Samuel took the device and turned it over in his hand. It was in need of a bit of a charge, but that could wait for the moment. Taking that, Samuel turned out the lights and headed back downstairs.
