"I'm always hungry." Larkin stuck his tongue out a bit. "And sure." He headed over to the oven and preheated it.
"I'm always hungry." Larkin stuck his tongue out a bit. "And sure." He headed over to the oven and preheated it.
Samul laughed as Larkin stuck his tongue out.
"Perfect then dear!"
"You need anything else?" He called over his shoulder after he was done with the oven.
"Nope! Thank you so much dear, you've been a great help." Samul offered a smile, moving to kiss Larkin's cheek.
Larkin smiled softly and returned the kiss. "Alright… I guess I'll just… uh… wait, then." He said awkwardly.
"Me, too." Samul put the meat in as soon as the oven was preheated, moving to wrap his arms loosely around Larkin's waist from behind. He rested his chin on Larkin's shoulder, letting out a hum.
"I love you…" Larkin murmured softly, turning around so that he could hug Samul. "How long do you think it'll be?"
"Fifteen minutes or so," Samul said after a moment. He smiled as Larkin hugged him, tucking his face against the other's head.
"Mmmmm… what are we supposed to do until then?" He asked, whining and pouting.
"We can always cuddle," Samul offered. He chuckled, pressing a kiss to Larkin's cheek.
"Yeah, yeah… but I'm hungryyyy…" He whined, moving closer to Samul.
"I know dear, it'll be done soon!" Samul laughed softly, hugging Larkin to his chest.
"Mmm…" Larkin buried his face in Samul's chest, turning his ears back. "I wish I wasn't always so hungry…"
"I know… We've got to get more snacks soon, too." Samul ran his fingers through Larkin's hair, speaking softly. "It's okay, sweetie…"
"Mm…" Larkin leaned into the gentle touch, closing his eyes and relaxing a bit. "I feel like I'm just a huge expense all the time, though…"
"You're not," Samul assured. "I promise, we can handle you needing to eat so much."
"Mmmm…" Larkin whined and sighed softly. "But I feel baaaaad…"
"It's okay sweetieee," Samul said in turn. "You don't do anything wrong at all."
"I know, I know… but still." Larkin sighed again and huddled closer. "It's a lot."
"It's not as much as you think, dear," Samul assured. "I've seen people eating much more than you do before."
"I guess…" Larkin looked away. "We're not exactly rich, though. What if we run out of money because of me?"
"We won't, dear," Samul assured. "We won't run out of any money."
"How do you know? W-We could get a hospital bill or something and that could be super expensive and then we won't have enough money to do stuff…"
"We'll find a way," Samul said softly. He moved to cup Larkin's cheeks, having the panicking man look at him. "We'll be okay, Larkin, no matter what. We have each other."
Larkin turned his ears back and whimpered softly, looking up at Samul meekly. "Yeah, y-yeah, but… I just… I-I dunno…"
Samul gently kissed Larkin's forehead, holding him close.
"We got my mamas, too, Larkin. We have so many ways to make sure we'll be okay. I love you, Larkin, and I'm never going to let us go through that."
Larkin buried his face in Samul's chest again, shifting uneasily. "I just… everyone would be so much better off if I wasn't… what I am."
"No, we wouldn't be," Samul said softly. He moved his arms to wrap securely around Larkin's back, kissing his head. "I love you so much the way you are, Larkin, and if you hadn't become this, you wouldn't have become the person you are today, either."
"You wouldn't be happier if you didn't have to deal with all of this?" He asked weakly, his voice soft and meek. "It's expensive and time consuming and it have to keep a constant eye on me so I don't destroy everything…"
"I wouldn't be. I love you for who you are, Larkin, and this is just as much as a part of you as any other. I know it can be hard sometimes, but you know what? All relationships are, Larkin. All that matters to me is that I get to love you…" Samul ran his fingers through Larkin's hair, keeping him close.
