It wouldn’t be surprising if he had gotten lost. He had only been here once before and not for very long. Micha couldn’t help though remember that it had been when Samuel had sent him on a wild chase just to find him. It hadn’t been easy, but he managed it. Micha had a few other memories in mind, especially their first kiss, among other things. Smiling at Samuel as he entered the room. He had explained how he had gotten caught up talking to Oliver. Micha rolled his eyes as Samuel teased him, ”Sure.” He spoke knowing it wouldn’t be surprising if he had. MIcha shrugged lightly, ”I don’t mind eating downstairs.” He spoke not at all bothered by Samuel’s brothers, as Oliver didn’t seem to put off by him.

He too remembered that little scavenger hunt. What a night had been. It had also been the night of their first kiss.....or rather the first time that Samuel had kissed Micha. Eventually they did have a more normal first kiss. As well as a few others. In the days that had followed they had learned quite a bit about each other. They'd had a few good times in this house. Though not as many as in Micha's old studio. Samuel smiled as the male rolled his eyes. He listened as the male spoke again. It was fine. "Alright." he replied. Samuel gestured for the male to head on out. He followed behind not bothering to close the door behind him. After all what would be the point if they were all going to be downstairs. Going back down the hall, he followed the male back downstairs and through the living. Samuel took a glance towards the television to see that his brothers had switched from whatever medieval show they had been watching before to Rick and Morty on Adult Swim. Turning his attention back to Micha, he followed him into the kitchen. Samuel walked around him and took out a ridiculous oven mitt in the shape of a cow. It had to have been something his mom had picked out during her last redecorating spree. Closing the drawer, he went over to the stove. "Moo." he told Micha. It was a terrible pun. One that should not have been uttered. But he couldn't resist. Slipping the tacky cow mitten over his left hand, he pulled down the oven door and reached inside to pull out the pizza. "There are soda's, milk, and water in the fridge if you want one. Help yourself." he said as placed the hot pan on top of the stove. After closing the door, Samuel reached over and turned off the oven.

Many of his memories first start here, but spread through other places. He knew that the most of his memories with Samuel had been in his old studio. Micha had found there were more good memories there than the bad. He couldn’t help but dwell on the good. Micha moved as Samuel gestured him to head downstairs. He left Samuel’s bedroom and walked down the hallway. Micha walked downstairs, and down the hallway toward the kitchen. They passed the living room, but he paid Samuel’s brothers no mind. He continued into the kitchen. As they entered the kitchen, he watched as Samuel moved around him. Micha didn’t mind, he moved to lean against the counter while Samuel went looking for an oven mitt. What he pulled out however, did not suit him. Micha couldn’t help but look at it curiously as Samuel mooed at him. He smiled a little, before it turned into a laugh."Moo indeed." Micha mumbled as Samuel pulled open the oven and took out the pizza pan. He nodded as he went toward the fridge, he pulled out can of coke. ”What do you want?” Micha asked figuring the least he could do was grab Samuel’s drink, while he cut up the pizza.

Samuel grinned as the male laughed at his stupid joke. He heard him mumble and couldn't help to chuckle a bit himself. "Don't make me drop this." he said before setting it down on the stove. He then fiddled with the knob and went in search for the pizza cutter in the drawer beside him. It took a little digging around but eventually he found it. Pulling it out of the drawer, he moved back towards the pizza. A moment later he heard Micha speak. "I'll take a coke." he said without looking up. Pulling the oven mitt on to his right hand, he held the pan and began to cut into the pizza. It was a little difficult since the pizza was still fresh from the oven. But he didn't mind. He was hungry and ready to eat. Slicing the pie into nine equal pieces, he then went to rinse the cutter and hide away the oven mitt back into whatever hell it came from. Samuel walked over to the cabinet next to the store and pulled out two plain white plate, handing one to Micha. "After you." he said. Samuel leaned against the counter while awaiting his turn. As he stood there, he could hear the ridiculousness coming from the television in the other room.

Seeing that cow shaped oven mitt, he would only assume it wasn’t bought by him. Something generic perhaps black or gray suited Samuel, not animal shaped. He grabbed a soda from the fridge while he waited for Samuel to answer. Micha nodded as he grabbed another for Samuel as well. He set it on the counter as he went back toward Samuel who was working on cutting up the pizza. Micha opened his own soda taking a few sips from it. As Samuel finished, he thanked him as he went to grab a plate and handed it to him. He took a few pieces of the pizza along with his soda and sent them on the island in the middle of the kitchen. Micha didn’t see the need to go to a kitchen table. He moved back toward the sink area grabbing a few napkins and returning to take his seat. Micha started to eat, as he waited for Samuel to join him.

Had the decision been left to him, he more than likely would have chosen something in a more neutral color. Instead of the oh-so-tacky cow. Still, it was an oven mitt and it did its' job. So for now he didn't mind using it. Though that wouldn't stop him from making stupid jokes with it. As he cut up the pizza, he heard the male reach into the fridge to pull out another soda for him. He thanked him and stepped aside when he finished. Samuel then pulled out a plate for himself and closed the cabinet door. He waited for Micha to finish getting his own food. Then, stepping forward he took three slices for himself. Samuel took both his plate and drink to the island where he sat down next to the male. Samuel took the napkins as they were handed to him, again thanking the male. He used one to put under his drink and began to eat. Lifting one slice of pizza to his mouth, he took a generous sized bite. The pizza was hot but not unbearably so. After chewing, swallowing, and taking a sip of his drink he turned his head towards the male. "So I've got another question." he started. He took another sip, watching the male closely. "You mentioned that you're currently in a hotel. How long are you planning on staying in town? Or are you moving back at all?"

Sitting there he started in on his first slice of pizza. He glanced at Samuel while he went about loading up his own plate. Micha had to admit he was hungry. He downed about half the slice before Samuel joined him. Micha handed Samuel a napkin as he came to sit beside him. He sat there in silence as he continued to eat his pizza, taking a few sips from his soda. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he spoke. He wasn’t surprised nor bothered by his question. Micha smiled at him, ”Staying in the hotel is just temporary...I have a few places in mind, I don’t want to get another house, though I was thinking of another studio. Some place where I can live and work.” He spoke letting Samuel know his plans for the next couple weeks.

Unlike his former lover he wasn't trying to inhale his food in one go. While he too was hungry. He actually wanted to taste it. It was a bit funny how quickly the male had downed his first slice before he even sat. But he chose not to comment on it. Samuel simply figured his eating habits just hadn't changed much since they last sat down together. In a way, it be odd to think Micha had eaten before three in the morning. Though that was probably just him reminiscing on old memories. While he waited for Micha to stop eating and answer his question, he took a few sips of soda. Samuel wiped his mouth and listened when he did start to speak. It wasn't too surprising to hear that the hotel he was staying in was only a temporary deal. Most people preferred it that way. It also did not come as a surprise to learn that Micha would not be looking for a new place to stay. Despite his confession, it wasn't like he was expecting Micha to want to move in and get married. "Does that mean you're gonna become one of my regulars again?" he teased.

MIcha wasn’t sorry about stuffing his face. After all he had seen Samuel do it a few times before. He had nothing to be ashamed of. Micha was hungry and wasn’t bothered to show it. As he answered Samuel’s question, he took a few sips of soda before going back to his food. This time he slowed down as he had noticed the way Samuel was watching him. The idea of moving in together was not best for the two of them. They had been stuck together none stop in the last two months before their break up, and it hadn’t been doing them any good. Micha had become distant. He didn’t need that again, as much as he loved Samuel. Micha couldn’t bare it. He needed space. Micha smiled at Samuel as he spoke, ”Sure, I guess I can come sit and get a glass of water or soda and watch you work.” He spoke in all seriousness as he didn’t drink anymore. Micha had given it up, as part of moving on and recovering.

In theory, the thought of living together sounded like the fairy tale dream every couple wanted. In reality, it one of the factors that drove them apart. Samuel remembered how distant Micha had become in those last months. He was a bit cold and sometimes it felt like he was also unloving. In the end, it didn't matter because at that point they were over. Perhaps they would always be the couple who just went back and forth to separate houses. Or perhaps they hadn't given each other enough time to learn to live with each other. He remembered both of his brothers talking about how it took awhile for them to adjust to living with their wives. And that was one thing about being with someone permanently. It took time to learn to live with people. It took time to learn their ticks, their sometimes disgusting habits, their schedules, and more. Going on date were fine, and sleepovers too. But they were just that. Sleepovers didn't tell you if your lover easily got diarrhea from BBQ sauce. Sleepovers didn't tell you if your lover showered daily or once a week. Sleepovers were child's play. But for them it seemed like it was going to be the only thing they could do.....at least for now.
Samuel took a few more bites and soon finished off his first slice, leaving only the crust. Placing the crust back on his plate, Samuel took a sip of coke then wiped his mouth. He smiled back at the male and listened to him speak. He gave him a questionable look as he mentioned only drinking something non-alcoholic. "Soda or water? That's new." he replied. He looked the male over and could tell he was being serious. There was no quirk of his lips, no teasing tone to his voice. He was completely serious. "Does that mean you've gone sober? Like AA and all that jazz?" he asked curiously. Samuel tried his best to be sensitive as he spoke. But he wasn't exactly sure how to word it. It was probably better this way. they both knew how Samuel felt about him drinking. While he did sometimes drink himself, it was never as much as Micha. Unless he was counting the time before their break-up. Even then he felt like it was significantly less.

There was no doubt that drinking had been one of the things that Samuel disliked. He had known it in the beginning. As much as it seemed ironic, he found it amusing. Micha knew however that it would be his downfall. He couldn’t continue to let drinking take over his life, not that it had. Micha had quit a few days after breaking up with Samuel. He had made the mistake of drinking way too much and nearly poisoning himself from it. Micha saw the surprise in Samuel’s face and heard it in his voice. He wasn’t bothered by it, though it did amuse him. Micha laughed softly as Samuel spoke, ’Yes, but minus the AA….Never really saw the whole point of stuff like that.” He spoke smiling as he returned to eating. Micha would admit to quitting drinking, but not that he nearly killed himself. He didn’t need that blame laid out on Samuel, after all it had been his own fault. Micha took it as a sign he needed to quit or he would only finish the task next time, and it wouldn’t be accidently.

After years of working in a club Samuel had kind of lost the appeal of drinking. He remembered in his college days he had attended his share of frat parties and would end up drunk. But after watching person after person get completely wasted in the club had just put him off. There was something about having to clean up vomit and worry about drunken bar fights on the nightly basis that was very off putting. Samuel watched the male curiously for a moment, not really understanding why he was laughing. It was a serious question. He listened when he spoke, nodding along. "Wow, that's pretty impressive. Congratulations." he replied. Turning back to his food, Samuel picked up his next slice and continued eating. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. The way some people spoke of their addiction to alcohol, he rather wondered if it was at all possible in this modern age to go completely sober without the health of a group or counseling. Yet here sat Micha, living breathing proof.

Being sober wasn’t much of an accomplishment, staying alive was. However that was a conversation for another day. Micha wasn’t ready to talk about how much he had drank and how far into the hole he had gone with Samuel. He was living each day as he should. Micha found that sometimes he craved a drink, but he wondered would it really be worth it. He thought not. Micha nodded as Samuel congratulated him. He mumbled a thanks as he continued to eat his pizza. ”So other than what seems like living the dream, have you met anyone either?” Micha asked within reason, after all he was curious. It was only reasonable since Samuel had asked him. He still didn’t know what to expect after all this time. Micha knew Samuel loved him, but was that enough to start over or enough to just say let things be.

Maybe to Micha, it seemed like no big deal. But Samuel was proud of him. He knew he wasn't one of those drunks that needed a drink every hour of the day. He wouldn't have bothered being with him if he was. Still, he had worried about him. The days when he came over and there were empty bottles were never a favorite thing to see. He was glad he was doing better. Turning to his food, Samuel worked a bit more on his second slice. Within a few bites, he had made his way down to the crust and left it on his plate with the other. Picking up his can of soda, he hear Micha speak once more. His question wasn't surprising. Honestly, he was expecting it. A year was a long time to be apart. It was only fair that he be allowed to ask him of his relations just as Samuel had asked Micha. He quietly shook his head in response. "Nah, I didn't bother." he replied honestly. Setting his coke down, he picked up his last slice. "When I got back to New York and couldn't find you......I kinda felt like my old self. Y'know, the one before we really started dating. I didn't get with anyone else because I didn't want to trust anyone else......I didn't wanna feel with them how I feel when I'm with you." Lifting the slice, he took a rather large bite to avoid speaking any further. It was embarrassing to be so open and honest like this. Even more so with his family in such close proximity. He doubted they were listening in, but that wasn't the point.

There wasn’t a lot of men he had been with. He had a few one night stands before getting with Samuel, after that he didn’t see the need. Micha knew no man would ever please him the way Samuel did. It was a sad thing to say but it was true. He enjoyed his time with Samuel in bed and out of it. The idea of another man filling that void seemed impossible. Micha wouldn’t be surprised if Samuel had tried moving on, nor would he even blame him. He knew Samuel had been with men before him. Micha tried not to think about it as he waited for an answer. He listened as Samuel spoke, understanding his reason. Micha knew that Samuel was never a trusting person, how could he go from one person to another. He watched as Samuel soon took another bite from his pizza to quit himself from talking. Micha smiled at him, ”Yes, I remember how you were, the man of twenty questions.” He teased knowing they had spent many of nights, while Samuel asked him as many questions as possible, while he gave vague answers.
