Tammy nodded, looking up at Rowan. Not that he didn't seem as sad, she pointed needily to her mouth, letting out a chirp.
Tammy nodded, looking up at Rowan. Not that he didn't seem as sad, she pointed needily to her mouth, letting out a chirp.
"Matthew, would you mind grabbing the worms?" Rowan asked, gently petting Tammy's head with his thumb.
"Sure thing." Matthew shifted in the nest, reaching over to grab the bag. By now, Timmy and Tommy were stirring as well, so Matthew lifted their nest over as well.
Tammy leaned into the petting, cooing softly with pleasure.
Rowan carefully opened the bag of worms and held it out to Tammy. "Here you go. Make sure you share with your brothers."
Tammy lit up, reaching in and grabbing a worm. She chirped, taking a big bite of it.
"Good girl… Timmy! Tommy!" Rowan called out softly. "Breakfast time!"
Timmy yawned, making his way over. He took a worm in his hands, nibbling. Tommy followed, looking up at Rowan with a sweet smile.
Rowan smiled gently and pet the chicks when they came over. "You guys are okay too, right?" He asked softly.
The two boys nodded, with Timmy going to sit with Tammy. Tommy followed after, the three chicks ending up in a pile.
Rowan lay his head back on the pillows and closed his eyes with a soft sigh, allowing the chicks to eat as much as they pleased.
Matthew couldn't help but smile softly. He leaned over to Rowan, snuggling next to him. He looked up at his friend's mother, blushing some.
Rowan's mother smiled gently as she saw the two of them. "I'll go see about getting some groceries. You two behave." She said playfully as she headed out the door. "Bye, mom…"
"Alright, ma'am," Matthew said. He smiled softly, looking to Rowan again. He looked to Rowan once she left, humming.
Rowan huddled close to Matthew and sighed softly. "I'm sure everything will settle down soon, yeah?"
"Mhm," Matthew said softly. "Especially once we get back home." Matthew rested his head on Rowan's, smiling.
"That's good…" Rowan gently kissed Matthew's cheek and closed his eyes, obviously pretty tired.
Matthew kissed the top of Rowan's head in turn, still blushing softly from the action. The chicks were playing among themselves, on Rowan's chest.
"When are we gonna try and head back?" Rowan asked softly. "Once I'm 100% again?"
"Well, I was hoping we'd be able to do that," Matthew said. "Or, if you think it'll take too much time, we could head back as soon as you feel good enough to travel." Matthew wrapped his arms around Rowan, his hand slipping into the man's.
"Right… I've never been bitten by a snake before, so I can't say for sure how long it'll take me to recover. Hopefully it won't be more than a week or two…"
"Hopefully. Though, I much rather take a week or two to make sure you're okay then for us to rush you when you can't handle it." Matthew lightly rubbed the back of Rowan's hand with his thumb, relaxed.
"Well, you could always carry me if I couldn't walk or something." Rowan shrugged a bit. "It would be okay."
"Oh, I will most definitely be carrying you until you can walk again. Still, it wouldn't be safe to head out now because of how tired you get." Matthew smiled softly.
Rowan rolled his eyes a bit and huddled closer. "Yeah, yeah… I don't really need to be awake for the journey, though."
"True, true." Matthew smiled some.
"Though, I'm not sure what exactly your mother will think about us in that situation."
"Oh, she'll be fine… she's pretty chill." Rowan yawned and sighed. "If anything, she'll be thankful to you for helping me."
"Okay, then." Matthew smiled some, resting his head on Rowan's.
"I'm just, well, worried I won't make a good impression on her."
"I can tell she likes you already. She wouldn't leave us alone like this if she didn't trust you." Rowan smiled reassuringly up at Matthew. "Don't worry so much."
"Okay, okay…" Matthew smiled, back, giving Rowan a side hug. Tammt pulled away from her brothers for a moment, looking up at the two. She held her hands out, looking for a hug herself it seemed.
Rowan smiled gently and pulled Tammy close, careful not to crush her. "How's that? Maybe you can try hugging your brothers some time."
