I need the calm that we create
Who: Willem and Kiku
When: Sunday July 24th, late evening
Where: Willem’s apartment
What: After a week of living in close quarters under a highly stressful situation, the two decide to get together to just chill.
< The last week of living together had been trying, a lot of the time.
Besides the threat of Kiku’s recapture, there was the fact that when you fill a one bedroom apartment of modest size with two men, a bunny, a cat, and a small dog they were going to be under each other’s feet a lot. Annoying little habits were going to be discovered, territorial issues were going to need to be resolved, and alone time was going to need to be managed somehow.
But despite all of this, Willem found he kind of liked the experience.
He liked that after that first morning when they’d woken up to realize they’d fallen asleep together on the floor, it was easier to convince Kiku to share a bed. He liked getting to eat breakfast with him, having someone to talk to at the end of the day. He liked getting to play with Pochi, watching Lucy and Nijntje take to his boyfriend.
He didn’t think either of them were ready for it to be a full time thing, not by a long shot, but it was nice to know they could at least enjoy making it work. So when the magic that had taken over the city seemed to have dissipated, Kiku and Pochi had gone back to their own apartment.
And now that the threat was gone and they’d had time to themselves for a few days, Willem had invited Kiku over to make dinner together and watch a movie. To just have a normal night as a couple. >
