Aron managed a smile. [color=lightgreen]"No problem...honestly Gage is a bit stressed"[/color] as in stress cooking. A habit that was both good and bad since it meant there ended up being food abundant. Seeing as gage was back at the hospital though it meant there was not the usual mountain. Probably just a pie or two. Definitely two.

Aron kept the smile...being thanked was new. [color=lightgreen]"There's also two pies at the house....I think ones cherry and the other is chocolate. I dragged him out of there before he filled the house"[/color] 

Aron paused hearing Alder. He blinked ready to go help but instead decided to wait for Zoe. Her response caused his eyes to widen. [color=lightgreen]"I....I can? Really?"[/color] He suddenly looked incredibly excited. [color=lightgreen]"I'll...I'll ask him."[/color] the implication of that excitement was painful. He had never had anyone over to where he lived.....nor had someone offered to cook for them. 

Aron suddenly froze as she stepped toward him. He blinked when she kissed his forehead. Another blink. He seemed frozen for a moment before he smiled and nodded. In quick movements he put the shake down on the counter before he received the text from Cody. Worry filled him before he turned to Zoe. [color=lightgreen]"I'll see you at....home"[/color] a soft smile filled his face before he made his way out barely glancing at the huge guy at the bar. 

He texted as he walked.

[b]To Cody:
I'm on my way. I'm sorry I worried you...busy day...I'll tell you all about it

Aron fully intended to tell his boyfriend everything from why he smelled like smoke to finally having a home...and what he would want for dinner. A beaming smile filled his face at that thought before he started to run. Running meant he would get there quickly.

About 10 minutes later he found himself managing to climb up the tree house while holding a milkshake. Once at the top he turned to Cody looking extremely apologetic. [color=lightgreen]"Hey...I'm sorry I didn't say anything"[/color] his head dropped. [color=lightgreen]"Forgive me?"[/color]

Gage was exhausted. Exhausted and stretched on two chairs, his legs planted on the floor. He seemed to be asleep in the room that held both syleste and Sebastian. He too had the faint scent of smoke making him smell more like a forest fire.

His dreams seemed to change to nightmares causing him to twitch in his sleep. Gage then suddenly sat up bursting awake. His breathing rapid as he rubbed his face. His clothes seemed brand new as well, with his shirt being black and blue basketball shorts. He rubbed his face again and gave out a soft groan. 

The events of early this morning coupled with last night clearly wore him down quite a bit. He glanced over at his girlfriend and then looked down.
