Midnight Manor Private Residence, Wednesday Evening

With their anniversary celebration coming up and all that would entail, Watts and Steven had opted for a quiet night at home for their date night this week.

Hence the popcorn and colas out on the table, with one of the many streaming services they subscribe to pulled up on the television.

"Any sort of picture you're in a particular mood for?" Watts asked Steven.

"Something cozy," Steven said. He helped himself to some popcorn. "Sweet."

"With a happy ending," Steven agreed. "Two people who find each other and are better for it."

"Usually if it's classified as romance it should have one," Steven said. He thought about it. "Though avoid ones about autumn. That tends to be a sad season for some reason."

Steven offered a piece of popcorn to Llewellyn, since Llewellyn's hands were busy with the remote.

"You know I saw a video on the Youtube about making your own vegan cheese at home. Thought that could be a fun idea for us some day." Steven sighed. "Unfortunately turned out poorly. Man couldn't recommend it. Said better to buy vegan cheese at the shops."

Steven leaned against Llewellyn in turn. "Could've been the kit he used? If you're interested I could keep looking. Perhaps another one is better."

"I'll keep an eye out," Steven suggested. "If not that, then maybe something else that's new that we can try."

"What's that?" Steven asked, looking at him with interest.

"Good." Steven nestled in against Llewellyn. "Because right now I'm rather comfortable."

Steven turned enough to kiss Llewellyn on his cheek. "You're very good at it. Our trips are always wonderful."

"I think I create enough spontaneity for the both of us," Steven said with an attempt at a smile that didn't wholly make it. "Blackouts and all that."

"Thank you." Steven leaned in closer. "I'm sorry that I make you."

Steven looked at him curiously. "You feel you get lost?"

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2025-06-25 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"I see." Steven thought back to various times that had happened. "I suppose that is comparable, isn't it? Getting lost in our own heads one way or another."

"We should do something to celebrate that," Steven said, grinning up at Llewellyn to show he was joking. "Perhaps go on a holiday of some kind to mark all the years we've been together."

Steven turned just enough to give Llewellyn a kiss on the mouth. "I adore you, you know."

"Not in spite," Steven reminded him. "I'd much rather you tell me you need it explained then me wonder if I said something wrong."

"I like making you smile," Steven said. Not that this was news, but some things bore repeating. "And laugh. Always brings me joy."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2025-06-25 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"But it's all right if you don't laugh," Steven said, just so that was clear. "You don't have to get all my jokes. Not a requirement for me to love you."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (casual))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2025-06-26 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Likely true," Steven agreed. "And I do like when you enjoy my jokes. Making you laugh. Means more when it happens is all."

"Don't care for people laughing at me," Steven said. "Wouldn't do it to others if I could help it. And I don't mind when you need an explanation. You don't make fun for me finding it funny."

Steven shrugged. "People made fun of me for loads of things. Can't say I always understood it."

Steven turned enough he could slip an arm around Llewellyn's waist and give him a hug. "I'm sorry you've ever dealt with that, love."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2025-06-26 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Steven twisted to try to get both arms around Llewellyn. "Misguided. Taking out pain on others because they don't know any better."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2025-06-26 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
"All the more reason they're misguided," Steven said. "Not saying it'd be easy to show them the right path." Steven had learned that lesson the hard way. "But it's still worth trying."

"It does," Steven told him. "Means you don't do it to be cruel. And you're learning how not to do it. Trying to be better. That matters."

"Because you worry that I'll leave you and when you're feeling poorly you're trying to force that to happen?" Steven guessed.

It was Steven's turn to hold on as he took comfort from a hug. "I'm glad I met you after. Still lose time but never time with you, it seems."

"Never missed a date with you," Steven said. He melted into Llewellyn's arms. "I'm glad for that. I was so scared in the early days."

Though Steven had less to take off than Llewellyn did, he did take longer than he needed because he kept getting distracted by watching Llewellyn undo his own clothes.
