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!
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.
Oh, is he. Well, if he doesn't mind, Theo will just stand in the doorway and watch.
When Sadde notices him watching he may start doing a bit of a strip tease for Theo.
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.
Sadde is kinda evil and wants to put Theo on the spotlight: "You see, Theo was very worried about you, he kept bugging me about us coming here as soon as possible, what if you died, so I gave in."
Of course it was! Theo's a very kind, caring, and compassionate soul.
"Um, it wasn't quite like that," he says.
"Mum, of course I'm worried about you, don't be silly. Also look at him, isn't he cute? I told you he was cute. I should make him blush." He looks at Theo. "Go on, blush, I want to show her that."
"No thanks. I can't exactly do it on command, anyway," Theo says, grinning.
"You blushed when we told your dad we were going for a walk. Do you blush when we do romantic things? I think that's when you blush." So he plants a kiss on Theo's cheek.
Theo doesn't blush. He definitely doesn't blush.
Okay, he totally blushes. And starts stuttering again, a little.
"See! I told you, he's just adorable when he blushes. And he stutters when he does it."
