ROMANCE ANYONE?

"Good," Arien said.
"So, what kind of food do you like the most?"

"Um… hm, that's a really hard question." Dan laughed.

Arien chuckled softly.
"Well, just give me a general idea."

"Well I like macaroni and cheese, also soups, and Ice cream is amazing."

Arien nodded along.
"So, you like anything that has dairy, even though you're lactose intolerant." He chuckled softly, kissing Dan.
"Seems normal."

"That stuff is good, and I'm ok with it." He laughed then kissed back.

Arien grinned, hugging Dan.
"So long as you don't eat too much. And I'll have to try some- just cause I drink blood doesn't mean I can't eat human food."

Dan nodded, "Promise I won't and yeah."

"Good. You'll have to give me recommendations." He hugged Dan again, then went over to the fridge.

"I definitely will." Dan nodded then sat on the couch in the living room.

Arien examined the contents of his fridge, mostly sugary sweets and pig's blood, making notes on what he needed to buy. When he finished, he went over to the couch with Dan.

Dan cuddled up with Arien when he sat down on the couch.

Arien kissed Dan's forehead. It was already ten in the morning.
"Love you," he said, wrapping his arms around Dan.

"Love you too, and thank you for this."

"You're welcome," Arien said. He pecked Dan's cheek. "I want to keep you safe."

"I know you do." He nodded.

Arien rested his head on Dan's shoulder.
"I can't believe that man came after you. It's highly illegal to go after someone's tied…"

"Don't know, maybe he didn't know about me being tied to you."

Arien thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Even if he hadn't seen the mark, you weren't wearing the clothes non-tied wear to the balls." He sighed a little, kissing Dan's cheek.

Dan nodded, "Alright, and I'm ok."

Arien sighed a little.
"I just figured the tie would keep you safe." He gave Dan a hug.

Dan nodded, "It's alright, I'm still alive. I'm feeling better too."

"Good!" Arien said with a grin.
"I'm glad you're feeling better." He pulled Dan into a big hug, kissing his cheek.

Dan hugged him back and smiled then kissed Arien's cheek, "You're really great."

"You're really great too," he said.

Dan smiled and cuddled up with him.

Arien pulled a blanket up over them, putting on a movie.

Dan watched the movie.

Arien kissed Dan's cheek. He started to fall asleep around noon.

Dan just watched movies
