(An uneven - and unhinged - laugh leaves his lips and he shakes.)
I burned... It reminded me.
I burned... It reminded me.
It's alright. [He took Tambe's hand in his, bringing it up to his lips to kiss the burn. He wanted to give his lover something else to focus on, something to try to distract him.]
(There is sensation in his hand - in his fingers. He hasn't lost it and it isn't burned badly. Tambë gives his head a sharp shake and forces himself to breathe.)
Is it... I know it's fine. (The fear is hard to fight.)
Is it... I know it's fine. (The fear is hard to fight.)
Trust me. [Astaldo held Tambe's hand gently as he leaned up to kiss him softly on the lips.]
Why don't you go back to bed-I'll finish breakfast.
Why don't you go back to bed-I'll finish breakfast.
I... I do. (He relaxes with a sigh at the kiss, wincing.)
No, I promised.
No, I promised.
Are you sure? [Astaldo asked with concern.]
At least let me help?
At least let me help?
I just - (He edges to the stove - the batter is ready and it only needs to be poured into the pan.) I wanted to add fruit while it was cooking.
How about blueberries? [He suggested as he went to go find them]
I think that would be delicious!
I think that would be delicious!
I put out a bowl of them. (He motions at the counter. A bowl of blueberries is waiting by the batter.)
What do you think of blackberries too?
What do you think of blackberries too?
They can be berry pancakes- I love blackberries too! [He leaned over to steal a blueberry with a flush, he couldn't help himself sometimes but he grabbed one for Tambe as well, holding it up for him to eat.]
(Some happiness enters his eyes and he takes the berry between his lips, kissing Astaldo's finger.)
Just...stay with me? I will be fine. (He moves to the stove and turns on the fire again, heating up the pan after he sprayed it.)

Of course! [Astaldo laughed softly when Tambe kissed his finger before going to get plates and couple of glasses. He poured them both some juice that they could have with their breakfast.]
(He might seem overly careful as he pours the batter and adds the blueberries, but this is a new skill for him. Even his neck is red as he turns to look at his lover.)
I've added sugar. We may not need syrup.
I've added sugar. We may not need syrup.
I'll get some out in case, but we can try the pancakes and decide. [He said as he set the bottle out.]
OH! I wonder if chocolate sauce would be any good on pancakes...
OH! I wonder if chocolate sauce would be any good on pancakes...
Your sweet tooth would likely approve. (Tambë grins and turns over the pancake with a spatula.) Chocolate and blueberries sounds nice.
[Astaldo beamed as he got the chocolate sauce ready, unable to stop himself from dipping in a finger and linking the chocolate off of it. He paused then as he realized Tambe had seen him do that, slowly setting the jar aside.]
I hope it tastes good!
I hope it tastes good!
(The scent draws him too. Between pancakes, he dips a blueberry into the sauce and tastes it.)
...delicious. Try it, love.
...delicious. Try it, love.
[He picked up a blueberry to dip it in the chocolate sauce, smiling as he ate it.]
Oh that is delicious! Lets try strawberries! [He grabbed some, dipping one into the chocolate, swirling it around before eating it.]

(He senses he has begun something new for Astaldo. Grinning, he tries a strawberry too, licking the juice off his lips.)
I suppose I am more of a strawberry and you are more of a blueberry?
I suppose I am more of a strawberry and you are more of a blueberry?
[Astaldo watched him eat the strawberry, something in his eyes. He dipped his finger in the chocolate sauce once more but this time leaned up to smear it across his husband's lips with a smile. Before Tambe could ask any questions, he stood up on his toes to kiss him, running his tongue across his lips to taste the chocolate.]
(He blinks and looks at Astaldo curiously before returning the kiss. The licking has him chuckling and he pulls back, smirking.)
I am not a fruit, Finno.
I am not a fruit, Finno.

Well, I know but you still taste good. [Astaldo said with a smile. He would definitely have to use the chocolate sauce later as he had ideas now.]
Where else would I taste good, do you think? (Some of those ideas were occurring to him as well and he felt hot. Turning to the stove, he piled the pancakes onto a plate and brought it to the table.)
I can think of a few place- I can show you after breakfast. [Astaldo suggested with a grin as he helped set the table with sauce, juice, plates and forks.]
Am I going to need a shower? (Tambë takes a seat and drinks some juice, his eyes bright with amusement.)
