And the Skies Turned Gold (Reboot) // OxO // Closed

(Yeah, that'd be great! I'm doing pretty alright now, so don't worry)
Tohru let out a nearly silent relieved sigh as Davin laid next to him. It was nice for a change to go to sleep next to someone he trusted. The warmth, the comfort he felt, even if they weren't touching each other did truly help him sleep a little easier.
Before he realized, he was already drifting off.

Tohru slept soundly that night. A lot more so than he usually did. Perhaps he was just tired. Perhaps he was just incredibly comfortable with Davin here. But when he finally did wake up, he laid in bed for a bit and grabbed for his device, scrolling through a little reading to wake himself up.

Tohru, finally realizing the bed next to him was empty, got up and went to find Davin. He strolled towards the kitchen first, as he thought he caught a faint whiff of coffee.

Tohru gave a faint nod and a smile.
"Good morning," he replied.
He tried not to stare for too long, but the other was gorgeous. The way his hair fell and the way a little sunshine streamed through the window to illuminate his curls stunned Tohru a bit.

"Thanks, Davin," Tohru replied softly, "How are you this morning? You're up earlier than me this time. But maybe that's because I actually slept well."

Tohru nodded.
"It's definitely been a lot easier not having to watch my own back so aggressively," he said.

Got it!

(Alright, where do you want to pick up?)

(Okay, I'm trying to remember where we were going honestly. It's been a while! But I'd be fine picking back up here)

(OOOh yeah oops.)
Tohru let out a slight sigh. Open on his device was the bounties page again. He was literally putting this target on his own back by taking bounties again, and had the nerve to say Davin was making it better. What if someone wanted to kill Davin? There were a lot of people that wanted him dead or captured. But that meant even more that he deserved nice things- not to just subsist on mediocre at best wages. So Tohru had to fulfil that.
"So… back on the last planet we were on. Do you go out and party very much? I know that's where we met, so I was curious."

"So you were about to leave anyway," Tohru said, pondering on the fact, "And I probably would have followed. Were you planning to come here, or somewhere else entirely?"
He switched over to a drawing application, but then found himself back on the bounty page again, looking for a lucrative but easy enough target. One in particular caught his eye, and he seemed to almost drift away from the conversation.

"With your luck, you may have picked Drestia. Beautiful planet, awesome nightlife. But it's my shitty home planet and it's crawling with Imperial Loyalists," Tohru chuckled.
His gaze drifted away from Davin's face entirely, and he spaced out where the other man's body touched the edge of the counter. It wasn't obvious from the outside, but he was preoccupied with the bounty, trying to determine whether to accept or take an easier job.

"Fair enough. I'm not exactly pro-Imperial myself, so even I'm at risk. I don't even think my family would jump in to defend me," Tohru agreed, "It would have been a mess for both of us."
Hand shaking a little, he went in to accept the new bounty. He was going to do it. This one at least seemed less dangerous than the last. As for his excuse, he'd say that he was going out with Vex probably. That they were going out drinking or to dinner, or something believable enough.

"Not to mention dangerous," Tohru sighed.
Who was he to talk about dangerous? But it was okay if he put himself into dangerous situations. Just as long as Davin wasn't dragged into it. If Davin died, that was it. The Imperials won.

"Someone could still find out. Besides, that's a very… permanent solution," Tohru said, his eyes going back up to Davin's horns.
He let out a soft exhale. If Davin ever cut them off, it would be getting rid of a large part of his identity- his expression.
