“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

At this point in time he could honestly care less what their waitress might think of them. What they did on their time was their business. It wasn't as though they were hurting anyone, unless you counted themselves. But for now it wasn't even like that. Samuel watched the woman retreat back behind the counter and turned his attention to his plate. He took a few bites here and there while waiting for Micha to respond. From the corner of his eye he watched him drizzle syrup over his french toast and cut it into little pieces. When he did speak he noticed the short pause before continuing and providing him with an option. Swallowing his food and licking his lips, he smiled toward him. "You never do." he replied. Samuel didn't mind spending another night with Micha. Given all that needed to be done today, he was more than likely to do it anyway. He was simply asking in case Micha was starting to grow tired of him. They had been spending an awful lot of time together and he could understand if he would want a bit of privacy.

"There was never any need to force Samuel into what he wanted. After all he always seemed to know what he needed. He found that Samuel was caring even when he was oblivious to his own needs. Micha knew that sometimes without Samuel he would probably be lost on his own. He was thankful for him in his own way. Micha continued eating after he replied to Samuel’s question. He couldn’t help but find amusement in Samuel’s words. Micha found himself smirking back lightly. ”Would I need a reason to?” He asked teasing Samuel, knowing the answer already. There was no need to force Samuel. Micha knew that Samuel would be there for him if he was needed, just as he would do the same. He didn’t have need for privacy at the moment. Micha found that having Samuel around was comforting; it allowed him to be away from his thoughts. He knew if left alone there was no telling what he would do. Micha though knew however, lock himself in his studio and probably drink everything he could find in his house. That would probably make for a great day until he ran out and needed more. He didn’t need to let himself do that, being with Samuel was keeping him sane for the moment. Micha continued eating as he grabbed a piece of bacon and started to munch on it as he sat there. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

In all their time together, Samuel had not once ever need persuadng to stay over. For the most part he always enjoyed his time with him. He stayed because he wanted to. Not because of the promise of sex or any other reason the male might have come up with in that head of his. Now was definitely one of those times he wanted to stay with him. While he respected the males privacy, he worried what might happen if he left him alone again. He didn't think Micha was stupid enough to try something like self-harm or to go after his father. But there was his drinking to worry about. Samuel had seen how much he could put away when he was angry and came to the club. In the past he'd often cut him off after about the fifth or sixth scotch. He'd never bothered to ask how many drinks he had when he was at home because at the time it was none of his business to know. Things had changed, he was different, they were different. He didn't want Micha doing anything to strenuous that might upset his injuries. Or worse, might create new ones.Samuel smiled back at the male as he teased him. "Probably not. But the day is still young." he replied. Picking up his fork again, Samuel leaned over to pick a piece of the cut up french toast from Micha's plate. He smiled broadly as he popped the piece into his mouth and turned his attention to his own plate. He ate happily beside the male and sipped on his coffee until there was no more.

"As of right now, he was relaxed. There hadn’t been anything he had done yet as of this morning to upset his injuries except get out of bed. Micha thought knew he couldn’t stay in bed all stay. He had to get up and get his things together, especially knowing his father would eventually be by again. Micha didn’t know when that would occur but he knew it would be soon. He was worried though, he didn’t need his father coming around if Samuel was there. Micha was embarrassed by the idea of his father, he had been even more embarrassed yesterday when Samuel came to see him but he was mildly over it. He was glad that that Samuel hadn’t turned around and left him after seeing his wounds. That was not something he needed right now, especially after the argument they had. Micha was happy to find that Samuel was still sticking by his side even though all this.

It was true that things had changed, he had been drinking less but then again things could change. He wanted to become a different person, a better person than Samuel expected of him. Micha didn’t want to be the same guy who came just to drink in the club. He wanted to move past his issues of using drinking to cure his problems.

While he sat there, Micha watched as Samuel seemed to smile at his teasing. He couldn’t help but smile as Samuel replied to his question. ”That it is.” Micha spoke watching as Samuel leaned over and stole a piece of French toast off his plate. He didn’t mind after all sharing never bothered him. Micha continued to eat his bacon as he finished he went back to eating his French toast. He too had drank all his coffee, the waitress had barely bothered to come offer to see if they needed anything else until they were almost done with their meals."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Today of all days he hoped and prayed that nothing would go wrong. He couldn't make any promises, but it would be nice if they were able to just get what they came for and get out without any trouble. Samuel didn't know when and if the males father was going to show up, but he was in no hurry to meet him. Truth be told he was still quite pissed about the way Micha's father had treated him. It pained him to see his beloved so badly injured and made his blood boil when he learned that the man had actually taken pleasure from doing something so despicable. Since arriving at the males home yesterday, despite their argument Samuel found himself feeling very protective of Micha. He worried something worse might happen to him and didn't wish to be parted from his side.

He smiled like he was quite proud of himself after taking the bit of french toast. Popping it into his mouth, he was quick to chew then swallow. He nodded again when he heard Micha speak. He hoped things could go smoothly for them. He didn't want to fight anymore. He didn't have the energy to even try. Going back to his respective plate Samuel cut into his steak, taking a few bites out of it. But soon the need for drink got the better of it. Spotting their waitress behind the counter he waved for her attention. She seemed reluctant but eventually walked over with a coffee pot in hand. Samuel held up his mug and thanked the woman and sat back as she reached over to refill Micha's mug. Thanking her again, he took a few more bites of his food. "So I got another question, I know clothes are a must. But what do you plan on packing? I mean just for right now. I know eventually you'll probably want to take all of it. But I just want to know in case we need to stop by my place so I can switch cars or clean out the trunk and backseat to make room. What do you think?" he asked curiously. He didn't mind helping out, but an estimate would be nice. He didn't know about Micha but he'd prefer to get everything in one go. That way there was less of a chance of running into Micha's father.

"At the moment he wasn’t eating as fast as Samuel was so he didn’t mind sharing his food. He had eaten most of his bacon but there was still some French toast left. It was true that there was still much of the day left and he too hoped nothing went wrong. He was tired of arguing with Samuel knowing he didn’t have the strength to at the moment. Micha knew that Samuel didn’t either. He didn’t need things between them to always be one big argument. Micha just needed a point in time where they were on equal ground and right now seemed that point. He was happy to be able to hear that Samuel had spoken to his family about him; at least it meant things were serious between them and he wasn’t just a simple fling.

As he sat there, Micha was starting slow down on his eating. He glanced toward the waitress when she came over to fill their cups. Micha thanked her as he took a few sips from it. He pushed his plate aside as he finished with his plate. Micha sat there sipping on the warm bitter drink. He glanced toward Samuel as he spoke questioning about his things. Micha shrugged lightly, in all he would like nothing more just to take everything and put it into storage and lock up his house. Right now he didn’t have time for that though and he didn’t want to burden Samuel with the idea of packing all his things up. ”I’ll probably just get my clothes, my laptop, and just a bag of a few art supplies nothing major.” Micha spoke knowing he couldn’t put everything in storage while he was in his condition. Perhaps in a couple of days he could deal with it, but for now he just needed the few essentials."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

He didn't really think he was eating all that fast. Maybe the stress of getting everything done was getting the best of him or maybe he was still feeling a tad nervous by his sudden confession this morning. It was hard to say. His head had been a mess of thoughts and questions since he came over yesterday afternoon. For the most part he'd been trying to get them out in the open when each opportunity presented itself. But still they didn't stop. Each answer he got brought on a fresh set of burning questions, comments, and concerns. He knew he had to be annoying Micha at this point, if he was he hadn't said anything. In his opinion they both seemed to be doing a lot of thinking before they spoke. The fighting was past getting old. Samuel loved Micha, but he didn't want to spend the rest of his life fighting with him every five seconds over things that don't even matter that much. Right now he was grateful for the peaceful atmosphere between them and hoped it would last more than just a couple of hours.

Samuel picked at his food while waiting for Micha to respond. If they had to, he didn't mind swinging by his place and swapping out cars. He was serious when he said he didn't want any kind of run-in's with Micha's father. The last thing either of them needed was for Samuel to lose his temper and try to fight the very man who'd put his hands on his boyfriend. He watched as Micha pushed his plate aside before answering his question. He nodded his head in response. "Alright. I think there should be enough room for all that in the trunk. You can probably put your laptop bag on the backseat. What about other like toiletries, vitamins, any medication? Do you need to bring anything like that as well? " he asked. Samuel understood that Micha couldn't bring his entire house with him. But he also knew the importance of having all the essentials. Clothes and everything else he'd named were important yes. But so was having your own bar of soap, a washcloth that hadn't touch another person's crotch, and everything else that made daily life easy to get through. Samuel wanted Micha to have as many of his personal items as he possibly could. If that meant stuffing his car to the point that it looked like he was living in it, he could deal with that.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"Micha wasn’t in a hurry, he was patient. He didn’t see a need to rush Samuel. Micha was content at the moment as well. It had been a while since their last peaceful moment. He knew that between them, they needed to find a sense of stand still between them or they were going to continue arguing. Micha didn’t want that, nor did he need it, especially with Samuel’s upcoming events as well as his own. He knew Samuel would be busy in the next couple of weeks, and he too would need to pick up everything and start over after he called Jean. Micha had to remind himself to do that later but for now he just wanted to settle things before calling him.

He sat there sipping on the bitter coffee while Samuel continued to eat. Micha worked on making a note of what he needed in his head. He knew there were a few other essentials besides clothes he needed, after all they couldn’t share the same tooth brush. Micha nodded a little hearing Samuel speak, ”Yeah, probably. There are a few other things I need besides what I just listed, such a toiletries.” He spoke trying to think of anything else. Micha wasn’t too worried about towels, after all they were washed wasn’t like they weren’t. He also wanted to bring his pillow too especially if he was going to be sleeping in a different bed, he wanted to be comfortable. "

((Sorry for late reply. Been busy with work. >.< ))

He soon finished his eggs and cut up what was left of his steak into bite size pieces while Micha thought about what he was going to need. Truth be told it would probably be easier on them both to just write out a list so nothing was forgotten. While he knew for some items Micha could simply go to the store and replace them, he had a feeling Micha wouldn't want to do anymore moving around than he already had to. Not to mention it was going to be a couple of days before that friend of his arrived to help him out. And while Samuel wouldn't mind being at his beck and call, he really did need to at least try to put in some hours this week. He was also going to need to get in touch with his family to remind them he was going to be staying at the mansion a little longer. The last thing he wanted was for one of his brothers or parents to make a surprise visit and freak out to find a stranger that was neither friend nor employee in his home.

Soon finishing his own breakfast, Samuel pushed back his plate and reached over to grab a napkin. He wiped his hands and mouth before balling the napkin up amd placing it on the plate. He nodded quietly when Micha did speak. "We'll try to get as much as we can. If anything is forgotten just make a list and we can go out later to replace." he said

[[It's understandable. No worries. I've been a bit busy with work as well.]]  

[xDarkWinterx]

"Micha knew Samuel wouldn’t be there to get things he needed, but for the moment this was all he needed. There were few minor things, and the rest he could live without. His main thing was his computer after all it was the only way he had he communicate with his clients. Everything else really could stay where it was. He could go out and buy new things if he needed but knew he was in no condition to try that right now. Micha had barely gotten up that morning and walked to his friend’s restaurant. At the moment, he was barely functioning as it was. He however wasn’t going to be taking advantage of Samuel. Micha just needed a place to stay for a few days before he found somewhere else that suited his needs, until he got his priorities straightened out.

He waited as he leaned back against the seat. Micha watched as Samuel finished off the rest of his meal before pushing his plate away. He knew he should have eaten more himself but he was simply too full. Micha would find something later if he was still hungry. He nodded hearing Samuel speak about forgotten items. Micha wasn’t too worried after all it could be replaced. ”Yeah, I know. I’ll see what I can grab when we get there.” He didn’t have any sort of suitcases, which was another thing he was worried about. Micha was more likely to just grab clothes off the hangers and stuff them into a trash bag, along with everything else he needed. He shifted a little in the seat, ”Ready to go?” Micha asked curiously though he was in no rush, if Samuel still wanted to sit here for a while. "

With their food gone and mugs empty it seemed all that was left was to pay the bill and get going. "Yeah, sure." he replied, seeing no reason to stick around much longer. Rising from his seat, Samuel waited for Micha to slide out of the booth, offering him a hand to stand. Once they were ready, he walied toward the register, smiling politely. He was patient while their waitress rang them up with an unreadable look. Pulling out his wallet, he handed the woman a few bills, taking his change and dropping a five in the tip jar. He stuffed his wallet back in to his pocket as he then walked toward the door. Samuel held the door open for Micha. He knew he was probably annoying the male by being so kind to him, but it wouldn't kill him in a time like this. Walking back to the car Samuel disarmed the alarm on his car and walked around to the drivers side. Sliding into his seat, he inserted the key in the ignition amd twisted. The engine roared to life and DJ's chattered on the radio. He pressed a pad on the steering wheel and proceeded to buckle up. Samuel goanced toward to see if he was ready.

"Micha was patient after all he wasn’t going very fast at the moment. He watched as Samuel stood offering out a hand. Micha took it as he slipped out of the booth. He didn’t mind the small gestures as long as Samuel wasn’t too over the top about babying him. Micha knew Samuel was only looking out for his well-being. He was thankful and also elated at the same time, though he’d never let on about it. Micha wasn’t used to the idea about someone caring about his needs, after all he take care of himself most of his life. His other string of lovers hardly stuck around to even learn his name. Micha walked with Samuel toward the register. He waited while Samuel paid for their breakfast. Micha didn’t pay much attention to the waitress, though he got the impression she was probably uncomfortable with their closeness. He hardly cared though after all he wasn’t going to pretend to be something he wasn’t just so he could go have a meal with his boyfriend. As Samuel finished paying, he continued walking with him heading toward the exit. He mumbled a thank you, but it was almost inaudible as he slipped out the door past Samuel as he held it open for him. Micha followed Samuel heading toward his car; he waited as it was disarmed before opening the door. He slipped inside carefully not wanting to bump or shift to fast to cause problems to his ribs. Micha shut the door just as Samuel had turned the ignition over. He listened as the DJ streamed over the radio as he sat there. Micha debated on putting on his seat belt but knew he had to. He shifted a little straining to grab it with his left hand as he managed to pull it over him buckling himself up, biting his lower lip the whole time. When he finished he sat back letting himself breathe a little deeper but the pain was nothing he couldn’t handle. "

Although he didn't say anything, he knew that the ride over was going to be a pain. Backing out the space, Samuel pulled up to the driveway and looked around at the oncoming traffic. When he got his chance, he crossed into the street and made for Micha's house. During their drive over, Samuel was careful to avoid potholes and slow at bumps in the road he would normally just speed over. Samuel could only imagine what sort of fresh hell this must be for Micha. He followed the directions he somewhat remembered from their last trip over here, occasionally asking the male at spots he was unfamiliar with.

About half an hour later they pulled up to the males home. From the outside it looked totally normal. The lights were off, no one but them seemed to be home. Samuel cut the engine and looked to Micha. He was quiet for a moment, studying his boyfriend. "You ready?" he asked about a minute later. Samuel waited patiently for his reply. Today, he was going to have the patience of a saint. There was no need to rush. Hell if Micha wished it, they didn't even have to go in. They could simply turn around and go clothes shopping instead. But he knew Micha wouldn't want that. He was too stubborn like that. Especially after they already went through the trouble of getting dressed, getting food, and coming all the way out here.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"When it came to driving, Micha was glad for Samuel easiness. He let himself relax into the motion of driving as he closed his eyes. His breathing slowed as they pulled out of the driveway into traffic. Micha felt the smoothness of the drive though his hand still gripped the side of the door. He knew Samuel was driving as careful as he could but it wasn’t his fear that caused him to act so stiff. Micha allowed himself to go through the motions as Samuel drove.

He eventually relaxed by the time they made it to his house. Micha hardly noticed they had stopped driving until Samuel spoke to him. He opened his eyes glancing toward Samuel feeling the weight off his observing demeanor. Micha glanced toward his house all seemed well within the house from outside looking in. He debated on going inside though knew he couldn’t say No especially after having Samuel driving him here. Micha nodded his head slightly, ”Yeah…I’m ready.” He spoke though still unsure of himself. Micha was still making his list of things he needed but the list seemed so unimportant now that he was here. He shifted as he moved to unbuckle himself and open the door. Micha slipped out, carefully standing as he shut the door behind him. He stood waiting for Samuel by his door as he slipped his hand into his pocket to fish out his keys. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Waiting patiently, he watched Micha carefully. He would understand if he suddenly changed his mind. While the house seemed normal outside, the memories of the other day were still so fresh. When Micha spoke about a minute later Samuel cut the engine, turned off the headlights, and unbuckled his seat belt. Slipping out of his seat, Samuel stepped out of the car and shut the door behind him. Samuel waited as Micha fished his keys from his pocket. Shortly after he followed him up the little pathway to the porch. He stood off to the side as Micha unlocked the door, soon following him inside. Looking around the entryway everything seemed just as it did the last time he was over. Closing the door behind him, Samuel followed Micha through the house. "Where do you want to start first?" he asked curiously. He thought about the short list of things Micha said he wanted to bring with him. If memory served correctly most of these items were going to be upstairs. He looked toward the stairs in the middle of the hall and back to Micha, "Think you can make it, or should I carry you like a fairy princess?" he teased in an attempt to lighten the mood. Dancing around the male, Samuel side stepped in to the kitchen to grab some garbage bags. He looked to Micha as he pointed at the different drawers and cabinets, unsure which one exactly the male stored them in.
