“Of course he’s happy, he loves it when you visit.” Keith laughed softly as John sprawled himself along the length of the couch, belly resting on Ivan’s lap and head resting on Keith’s.

Runs a hand over John’s back when he’s settled, smiling a bit. ‘I’m glad,’ he says with a soft, content sigh. ‘You two are really close, so I imagine it would be difficult if he didn’t like me.’

"He knows a good person when he meets one." Keith replied softly, leaning his head against Ivan's hair a little. "And as far as I'm concerned, you're the best."

“It does.” Keith agreed with a happy sigh as he takes out plates and necessary accoutrements, placing them out on the kitchen table. After everything had been dished out, they sat together at the table and helped themselves to the mix of starter dishes they had ordered.

“Okay Ivan.” Keith replied as he collected the bags together, taking their food through to the kitchen. John watched Ivan leave with a little whine, before settling down with his bone.

“What? No you don’t.” Keith replied as he snuggled up against Ivan happily, resting his head upon his eventually. “John will settle down soon enough, won’t you buddy?” He cooed down to the dog softly.

Ivan shifts until they’re all comfortable, giving them both a skeptical look. He wasn’t sure if either of them would settle down. He hums softly in reply, valiantly trying to calm down John none the less. ‘He seems happy,’ he comments, pushing his ears back. 

"Of course he's happy, he loves it when you visit." Keith laughed softly as John sprawled himself along the length of the couch, belly resting on Ivan's lap and head resting on Keith's.

Ivan hums happily when the dogs leans against him, making sure to give him a good pet before he pulls back. ‘We should probably start dinner before it gets cold… I’ll just go wash up and start the tea!’ He ruffles John’s fur once more before heading down the hall to wash his hands. There’s a small jump in his step, overall demeanor slightly more cheerful than before.

"Okay Ivan." Keith replied as he collected the bags together, taking their food through to the kitchen. John watched Ivan leave with a little whine, before settling down with his bone.

"What? No you don't." Keith replied as he snuggled up against Ivan happily, resting his head upon his eventually. "John will settle down soon enough, won't you buddy?" He cooed down to the dog softly.

“That would be nice for him, thank you.” Keith smiled to Ivan before giving him a little wave, disappearing into the bathroom. He stepped into the shower after a short moment, intent on cleaning himself quickly.

Ivan looks happy as he wanders off to deal with John, putting on the coffee maker as he fusses over the dog.  By the time Keith is finished Ivan is set up with John on the couch, a tray with biscuits and coffee on the coffee table as they both wait for Keith. 

“Ah, no, no! It’s nothing like that!” Keith protested. “I…I was just..” He blushed more as he spoke. “I was looking too much at your wonderful smile.” And with that he upped his pace a little, feeling a little foolish.

Ivan stops himself from asking Keith what he was smiling about, instead giving a small smile. ‘I can do that… should I change his water too?’ Of course he would probably make a snack - which really meant finding fruit or crisps - and coffee for them both too.

"That would be nice for him, thank you." Keith smiled to Ivan before giving him a little wave, disappearing into the bathroom. He stepped into the shower after a short moment, intent on cleaning himself quickly.
