As B-14 exited the green portal, his nervousness was obvious, both in the way he mumbled anxiously to reassure himself, and the way he hesitated before making his presence known.
He let out a long exhale before forcing a neutral expression on himself, he had to at least try and convince him, and showing just how nervous he actually was wouldn't help. He finally knocked at the door.
Zeta had been cooking dinner, the smell of lasagna permeating the kitchen. As he waited in front of the oven, he was softly humming a melody. At the sound of the knocking, he practically sprang to run at the door and opened it, giving B-14 a big smile.
"Well, if it isn't the love of my life!"
He threw his arms around his shoulders into a hug and began kissing his cheek repeatedly, making kissy noises as he did so.
"Come in! You came at the perfect time, the lasagna is almost done cooking."
Zeta withdrew from him and gestured for him to come inside, holding the door open for him. His smile wasn't his usual one, this one seemed almost too enthusiastic, almost as if it were staged.
