Almost two weeks pass. Sadde still has work, even if school's out, but they and Theo hang out a bit more. No new cards appear, and Kero seems to not think that strange, so Sadde themself doesn't care. And one day Theo gets a text in the morning: Happy birthday!
Best. Boyfriend. Ever.
And then Sadde's stomach grumbles. "We should probably get on with it," he says, resting his chin on Theo's shoulder.
"Yeah, we probably should," Theo responds, and starts washing himself down. And, of course, helps to wash Sadde down.
"Of course," he laughs. "Well, let's get to it, anyway."
And they do, and are all cleaned up.
And out of the shower, and towelling off.
Then into clothes. Reminding him... "We should probably stop by your place on the way back to get you a new set of clothes."
"That's probably a good idea. Uh, I'm nowhere near as ridiculously rich as you, for the record."
"Just, you know. My place isn't as pretty as yours and such," he says as they make their way.
...
"Okay. That's still fine, though," he says, a bit confused.
He grabs some food for both himself and Sadde when they get down to the kitchen, eats some, then quickly goes and cleans his teeth.
And eventually they arrive! It is a small place. It is a small apartment in a dingy apartment building, and Sadde walks in and the first thing he does is brush his teeth.
It has a living room and one bathroom and two bedrooms and a kitchenette and everything's pretty small. There's no TV.
Oh, that's sad. He'll just have to get Sadde to come watch a few films some time.
He goes back over to Sadde.
Well, Theo is definitely not complaining. Despite his lack of experience with them, he concludes that strip teases are fun.
"Oh goodness, are you two back already? Don't you have better things to do than die of boredom around me?"
Theo doesn't really know what to say, so he just stands slightly behind Sadde and lets him take the lead.
