"Well, you're pretty fast. You're tall and you can cover ground quickly. You could probably get here before the average ambulance would arrive." Nix shrugged.

"Well, you're pretty fast. You're tall and you can cover ground quickly. You could probably get here before the average ambulance would arrive." Nix shrugged.
Halm could tell he was losing this argument.
"I…" He closed his eyes a moment. "Alright then."
"You need to do your job or your superior will be angry. Like I said, that would be bad for all three of us."
Halm nodded a little.
"Alright then. But don't hesitate to call for me if you need me."
"I won't. Most things I'll be able to handle myself, to be honest." Nix ran his fingers through Cas's hair.
"Alright then…" Halm sighed softly, looking over at Nix. He was worried about going to work. He was terrified something would happen while he was gone and Nix wouldn't be able to help. Like if Cas died. He let out as soft breath, trying to calm down.
"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him. I won't let him leave the room without constant supervision." Nix looked back up at Halm, smiling weakly.
Halm nodded to that, hand going to Nix's head.
"Thank you," he said gently.
Nix purred weakly, leaning into Halm's hand again with his eyes closed. "I'll expect you back around meal times. I don't know how to cook and I don't trust Cas to do it."
"I can do that," Halm said. He rubbed Nix's head, being gentle.
"I'll cook the meals."
Nix turned his ears back, relaxing into Halm's touch. "I'd do it if I could, but I'm not used to having opposable thumbs, so I haven't had the ability to do so until now."
"I understand. You'll get used to them, though, with how much time you'll be spending like this." Halm smiled gently as Nix relaxed into his hand, lifting his other hand up to rub him as well.
Nix nodded and purred a bit louder, his tail twitching. "I'm sure I will…" He sighed. "And as nice as this is, you really need to get to work. You're already behind schedule."
Halm pursed his lips a little.
"Alright." Halm begrudgingly pulled his hands away, sitting up. "I'll be back around dinner time, okay?"
"See you then." Nix huddled up under the covers with Cas again, yawning. He was a bit tired still, but he knew he'd be able to stay awake.
Halm stood finally. He stayed by the side of the bed a moment more, then finally left. He went out to work, and hadn't been lying when he said he would come back at dinner time. He had a lot of work to do.
(Should something happen or just time skip to dinner?)
(Mmmmemories?)
Nix silently lay with Cas while he waited for Halm to return. Cas stayed asleep the whole time, clearly still drained, but breathing well enough that Nix wasn't worried about him being unstable.
(ooh, perfecto)
Halm finished outside, bringing in even more memories to put away. He stepped quietly, working his way through them. He looked down at the ones left to put away. There, at the top, was Cas's father. Halm stared at it a moment, then picked it up.
"Fuck you," he said quietly, about to smash the container, when he had an idea. He made his way into the bedroom, taking the memories with him.
"Nix," he said softly. "Could you do me a favor?"
Nix looked up when Halm came in and eyed the teardrop container curiously. "Yeah, sure. What do you need, Halm?" He asked. He pushed himself up into a sitting position.
"Could you eat this?" Halm held the memories out. Currently, the father was in his version of paradise. Most notably, without a hint of Cas. Halm wanted to bring that to an end.
"Yeah, alright." Nix took the vial from Halm, unstoppered it, and tipped it up. "Hmm. Kinda bitter…" He hummed thoughtfully. "What was this, by the way?
"Cas's father," Halm said calmly. He chuckled a little. "Makes sense he would be bitter." Halm reached out for the vial.
"Thank you, for that."
"Yeah, no problem." Nix yawned a bit and looked down at Cas. "I presume it's dinner time since you're back?"
"Yeah," Halm said. "But I need to go start it." Halm paused. "… Has Cas been asleep this entire time?"
Nix nodded. "Yeah… should I try to wake him up?" He asked, turning his gaze up to Halm. "I'm a little worried…"
