Well. We might make an exception in that case.

[trying not to sound flustered as he says that, before he nods]

Yeah, I did. How about you?

[ he huffs an amused laugh ]

[ thinks about gingham's question and Dramatically™️ flops back ]

I could stand to stay here for a few more hours.

Speaking of no judgment, you could absolutely go for a nap and I wouldn't mind.

Tempting. But are you going to join me?

I could try!

[ Amused breath of a laugh: ]

Try, huh.

[ Shifts just a little closer to Gingham. ]

Nah, I'm up but that doesn't mean we have to get up up.

[scoots his way as well]

Sounds good to me. We can just chill for a while.

[ shifts to put an an arm around him ]

Just this is nice.

Yeah.

[leans into his shoulder]

Now I've gotta get a nicer bed so you can come over next time.

[ laughs in surprise and rolls his eyes, ]

Or you could just ask me over and I would. The bed is just a bonus.

Nope. I'm going to wait until I can spoil you.

Well. In that case - We can always ask Nana? Unless this is also you telling me that I can't help with something that's mutually beneficial.

Only if I get to help you the next time you ask her for something!

Oh, striking the hard bargain.

[ acts like he's having to think about it for a moment before leaning over to kiss his forehead real quick, like a nerd. ]

But deal. So since I have you here, trapped in my arms - [ teasing ] would you still want to talk?

Soooo trapped.

[after a moment:]

Talk about...? Oh! Oh, right, we were going to talk about the visions. Are you still up for listening or did you want to wake up a little bit more?

If you're awake, I'm awake.

[ And then a touch more sincerely, ]

We always end up talking about mine? I want to hear about them and if they worry you - if it helps, we can do it while making pancakes?

They worry me a little...? But mostly in the way where it's like, worrying about whether someone else will be okay. Like watching a really stressful - I guess movie isn't the right word. Documentary...?

[hesitating for a moment, more in thought than anything else, before he nods]

It's a weird story and I don't really have all the answers yet. Also, pancakes sound great. I can give you a hand while I explain, maybe?

[ He watches him with a slight frown and a nod. It sounds about right, he doesn't think Gingham's "story" is all safe. The discussion of possible treason and its ramifications hasn't been lost on him. ]

[ He huffs a laugh. ]

My guy's the reincarnated kid of a witch and a robot, it's fine if it's weird. [ Literally the Weirdest Factoid to get back, but it's - fine. Probably. ] Which isn't downplaying your weird more like I'd be surprised if anyone had normal visions. Those might not even exist.

[ -he's rambling ] Pancakes we can do. As long as you're painfully aware we have to actually get up from bed.

...I could ask a lot of questions about the logistics of that but I think maybe I shouldn't! Anyways. Pancakes.

[gives an overdramatic groan as a joke before pushing himself up]

You ready?

You could, huh.

[ amused exasperation, ]

There's just one thing first.

[ leans over to kiss him, duh ]

[there's a half second of surprise before he kisses him back, smiling into it]

[ Kisses him a few moments longer, the hand that had been around him moving to slip down and take his before breaking away. Half a laugh in his voice: ]

Pancakes and talking, before I distract both of us.

Feel free to distract me again later.

[a little flushed, but he takes his hand and starts to move towards the door]

So... Kind of hard to know where to start, huh?

[ Coloring again but shaking his head: ]

I'll remember that.

[ Lightly said as he leads them to the kitchen, only letting go of Gingham's hand for the pancake ingredients. Thankfully, that's not that complicated. ]

Yeah. Especially when we have to paint our own context. I know about the treason?

[watching as he grabs the ingredients, looking around for a bowl to hand him]

Weirdly, I'm - less freaked out about the treason now? It seems like something really bad was happening to his home and the person in charge wouldn't do anything about it. Like, not only that but trying to do anything about it wasn't allowed. I think that might have been where the treason came from? I'm not 100% sure, but.
