“Hm... food for Elle, fresh vegetables... pick up prescriptions...”

Lara absently tapped the pen against the notepad she was using-- writing the shopping lists out helped make sure she didn’t forget anything, even if she did have to transfer it to a GHS afterward anyway-- while tiny Elle sat in her lap, tugging on her mother’s ponytail.

“Is your brother coming over for dinner again anytime soon? I haven’t seen him around in a while... I like him-- you should invite him over if he’s not.”

victor just...quietly agrees.

Send 💕 to just grab my muse & kiss them!

Victor hadn’t been acting like himself today. It took him like ten seconds to answer simple “yes” or “no” questions, and he kept standing in certain spots, doing nothing but having an intense stare down with the walls. In hopes some fresh air might do the man good, Ludger asked him if he could buy him a self-help book so he could relearn how to take care of himself and become more independent. With a mumble of ‘fine’, Victor left to fulfill his request. 

Ludger passed his time alone by reading some of his other books out of the patio so he could get a bit of fresh air himself. The gentle breeze encouraged his body to nod off, the words on the pages becoming globs of black as his eyes struggled to keep themselves open. Ludger gave in in the end, only waking when he could hear the front door opening. 

“I found your book, Ludger.” Victor presented the book in question, although when Ludger left his chair to take it, Victor kept it out of his reach. “I did you a favor, no? Don’t you think you should return the favor?” 

“I-I guess, but what would you want me to do? I could go get the groceries or clean the house if that’s repentance enough for you.” Besides those two things, Ludger couldn’t think of anything else. Victor handled the cooking and whatever the man wanted, he’d go buy himself without his help. 

“Tempting offers, though there’s something I want more from you.” When he saw the confusion in Ludger’s eyes, Victor didn’t bother explaining and took the initiative to pull the younger male close and get the kiss he properly deserved. But that wasn’t what he wanted--not entirely. Victor’s lips trailed down to Ludger’s neck, an act that caused Ludger to shiver. He gently sucked on the skin until Ludger clearly had enough and there was a chance a bruise would form.

“Enjoy your book, Ludger.” Now he handed Ludger the book, a mischievous smirk on Victor’s face as he left back inside. 

“Every little thing’s gotta be just right.”

“Are you seriously cleaning your house for me?” It’s amusing, if not a bit charming. If someone didn’t know better, one might think they were dating. “We have the same house, you know. I’ve seen it at its best and worst. You don’t have to go out of your way for me, darling.” Though it is nice to see that dust off the shelves for once.

“Well, I just thought, you know, it’d be good... since I have a real guest more often now...” That was part of it, but really, just having someone else around-- especially another him-- to keep him from simply lying around all day was helping him a lot.

he’s raising an eyebrow at backseat of a car and i’m laughing so hard omg
