Peter had dragged himself out of bed for only one reason. Because having Nathan show up on his doorstep was not what either of them needed. Dressing carefully his day had gone fast. Faster then usual because he'd been thinking about what waited at home

Isaac woke up only briefly when Peter got up, shifting to occupy the warm part of the bed before going back to sleep for another two hours.

The rest of the day had been a surreal mix of day dream, fantasy and outright denial as he got washing going, changed beds, finished the fish lady's portrait and sat around thinking about what had happened, why it shouldn't have happened, shouldn't happen again and how badly he wanted it to.

He was so wrapped in his own thought that he didn't even hear the door until Peter called out to him. He peeked out of his room, slipping down towards the kitchen. "Yeah?"

"I brought home dinner,' he called. "I figured you'd be working on your work and not even think to eat."

Unpacking the containers, he had gotten deli sandwiches and salads. "If you're not hungry, I understand." He turned and tossed the smokes at Isaac.

"Um... yeah." He really did forget about food today.

He caught the smokes, face lighting up. "Thanks. I was nearly out." They were tossed back into his room carelessly as he came closer to investigate the food. And Peter, in a circumspect way.

Peter nodded, pushing the two wrapped sandwiches at his house mate. "One is turkey and cheddar on sourdough, the other is chicken salad. I got cole slaw and potato salad and cheesecake. I... I'd like you to try and eat."
