Halm nodded, leaving the door slightly open as they made their way to the kitchen. Halm started cooking, obvious he still wanted to get back quickly.

Cas sighed shakily when Halm and Nix left. "I'm glad you can hear me, at least…" He murmured, still holding tightly to Zachary.
Zachary nodded, pressing his head gently to Cas's. Trying to kiss him. God, this was horrible. If he couldn't speak, he at least wanted to kiss Cas.
Cas looked up at Zachary shyly. "Are you okay with me kissing you on the lips? It's okay if not… I don't want to make you uncomfortable."
Zachary was a bit surprised by Cas's request. Still, he nodded gently. He easy more than okay with it.
Cas hesitated before gently pulling Zachary down to kiss him, trembling lightly as he did so. After he pulled away, he buried his face in Zachary's chest again.
Zachary was glad for the help down, doing his best to eternal the kiss. When Cas pulled away. He slowly raised one hand, putting it on top of Cas's head. He held Cas close, letting out a quiet sound.
Cas shifted a bit to be more comfortable, wrapping his legs around Zachary's waist. "I love you…" He murmured weakly.
Zachary let out a soft sound of agreement. He loved Cas, too. He rubbed Cas's head as beat he could, always scared he might accidently hurt the other.
"Mm…" Cas tentatively leaned into Zachary's hand with his eyes still closed, trying to relax. "We're gonna get you better, okay?"
Zachary laid his head on Cas's gently, nodding a little. He knew they would. He pressed his lips against Cas again, trying so hard to kiss him.
Cas looked up and gently returned the kiss for Zachary, huddling close to him. "I… I dunno how long it'll take, but we'll fix you as soon as we possibly can."
Zachary nodded slightly, a smile softly settling on his lips at the kiss. He let out a quiet purr of agreement.
"Um… are you hungry? I think Halm and Nix are cooking something for breakfast…" Cas looked over at the door.
Zachary nodded a little, but have a confused sound. How what were they going to feed him? He was going to have a hard time of it…
Halm carried the three plates and a bowl into the bedroom, one arm around Nix gently.
Nix crawled up onto the bed with a soft sigh, looking up at Halm. He handed the bowl over to Cas. "Here. You can help Zachary eat." "What is it?" Cas asked.
"It's mashed bananas with honey," Halm explained. He sat next to Nix with their breakfast, setting Cas's down for him.
"And some bread soaked in milk." Zachary shifted a bit. It didn't sound bad to him, really.
Cas nodded and held a spoonful of the food up to Zachary. "Here… we can figure out how well you can eat, alright?"
Zachary nodded a little. He wanted to see to. He carefully leaned forward, taking the food in his mouth. He did his best to keep his mouth closed. He chewed a bit, just a small amount escaping as he swallowed.
Cas took a napkin from Nix and gently cleaned off Zachary's face before holding up another bite to him. "You're doing great, love."
Zachary sighed softly, but nodded. He was doing better than Halm thought he would. He leaned forward for the next bite, accepting it. He chewed as little as he could get away with, even less dribbling out.
Cas smiled softly as Zachary improved, continuing to feed him until he'd emptied the bowl. He huddled up against Zachary's chest afterwards.
Zachary let out a content sigh. Even with just this, he'd gotten better. It was a good sign. He wrapped his arms around Cas. He nudged Cas's plate lightly, letting out a soft sound. Cas needed to eat too.
"Mmm…" Cas reluctantly picked up his own plate and started eating to appease Zachary, still sticking as close to the other as he could.
Zachary smiled softly, nuzzling Cas's head as little and letting out a happy purr.
Cas soon finished eating and huddled close to Zachary again. "Mmmmmm… I love you, Zachary…" He murmured.
Zachary gave a hum of agreement. He opened his mouth, trying to speak too, but vague sound just came out.
Cas smiled weakly, burying his face in Zachary's chest. "You're strong… you'll recover quickly. I can tell."
Zachary smiled just a touch, arms tightening around Cas a little as he nodded. He would, for Cas. He placed his lips against the top of Cas's head.
"Mm…" Cas smiled a bit more brightly and buried his face in the crook of Zachary's neck. Nix watched the two of them quietly.
