Dustin relaxes, keeping his eyes closed as he starts to fall asleep again.

Renata laughs quietly.

"Still sleepy?" she asks softly. "That's okay. Stay as long as you'd like."

Dustin grumbles, rolling onto his side, facing her and curling up again, falling asleep.

Renata laughs again, but closes her own eyes to sleep.

She curls up and ends up facing Dustin as she sleeps for the next few hours.

About 4 hours later. . .

Renata wakes up to find that she sees, right off the bat, lots of hair. Black hair.

Dustin's hair. So she was probably very close to him. So she scooches away, doing her best not to jostle Dustin.

Dustin rolls slightly, nuzzling his face under his arm.

Renata winces at how close she'd rolled in her sleep, praising her angels that she hadn't woken Dustin while she shifted.

She slips out of bed and goes into the kitchen and starts making some espresso.

Dustin slowly wakes up, sitting up and getting out of the bed, looking at the time and frowning slightly. He makes his way to the kitchen as well, leaning against the doorframe.

Renata was hand grinding the beans as she usually did whenever she made espresso. She'd pulled her sleep-mussed hair into a messy bun and put a pencil in it to keep it in place, and she was clearly in the same shorts and sleeveless tee she'd been in since Dustin had showed up.

After a while she turns around and startles, nearly dropping one of the cups of espresso.

"Jesus, you startled me." she breathes before laughing slightly.

Dustin chuckles softly, “Sorry. . .” He smiles slightly, “I didn’t mean to. . . Well. . . Maybe I did, but just a bit.”

Renata rolls her eyes playfully.

"And I just made you coffee. Maybe I'll drink both to spite you." she teases.

Dustin shrugs, “Eh. . .” He rubs his face, “I’m going to make some food. . .“

"Alright. Pantry's down the small corridor to the left of the fridge. Help yourself to whatever. Coffee's on the counter for when you want it. I'll be in the shower so if you need anything, make sure it's important. Like, we've run out of Fruit Loops important." Renata smiles, setting Dustin's espresso on the counter like she'd said and going into the bathroom.

Dustin makes a face, “Running out of Fruit Loops? That’s important enough for me to bust into the bathroom while you’re showering?” He smirks slightly.

"Yes. Fruit Loops are one of the five major food gropus. Fruit Loops, Pasta, Garlic Bread, Cheap Ramen and Mtn. Dew." Renata grins, leaning around the doorframe to the door. "Or you could bust in to carry a conversation or whatever. Your choice, really. But if it's anything less than running out of Fruit Loops, just know you may end up half buried in concrete."

Dustin pauses, thinking, “So if I eat them all and then want more, I can bust into the bathroom?” He asks, “Just for the sake of busting into the bathroom and not getting buried in concrete?”

"If you do I'd be a bit annoyed. I have a lot of Fruit Loops." Renata giggles. "I'd know what you did and would bury you in concrete for robbing me of what is honestly the best food to ever exist."

Dustin laughs softly, “Surree, keep telling yourself that.” He turns and walks to the pantry, looking inside.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!" Renata calls after Dustin.

Dustin chuckles, “Oh, just that you most likely won’t burry me in concrete. Because you would have done it by now.”

Renata rolls her eyes and a pebble of clay hits Dustin in the forhead.

"Shush. Make yourself some food. And don't eat all the Fruit Loops!" she calls, closing the bathroom door. A couple minutes later, the shower turns on.

Dustin huffs, “Careful with that!” He rubs his forehead and then grabs a few ingredients. He wanders tot he fridge grabbing a few more.

(Here we go, he’s preparing to make a full meal-)

(oOoOoOo lets see what hes got lol-)

Renata, being in the shower, doesn't hear the call to be more careful, but she knew he'd probably said it. He was just slightly predictable with his words when getting flicked or bumped or jostled by anything.

It takes her about 30 minutes to finish showering - most of it was spent standing under the water and singing songs, the rest was just cleaning her hair so it wasn't as tangled.

She hops out and slips into loose, fuzzy sweatpants and a sports bra before heading out into the kitchen to watch Dustin cook.

(He’s an incredible cook- he would have gone to culinary school- but he went the hero rout in life-)

Dustin hums to himself, in his own world at he cooks. After another fifteen minuets, he turns around, “I just made some teriyaki pork with fried rice. I made enough for two, in case you want some.”

(now im hungry ;-;)
(culinary school seems like fun but like- a lot of work lmao)

Renata laughs slightly.

"That ammount is enough for someone your size, maybe. But you're forgetting my biggest strength in life: I can eat a lot." she replies. "But I'll take half the food and the rest is yours. Maybe make some more later, thpugh, or teach me?"

Dustin raises an eyebrow and motions behind him, “There’s plenty. Trust me. This is just my food.” Behind him sat a ginormous amount of rice along with four other porkchops, “What you don’t eat, if that’s possible, you can save for later.”

He sits down, quiet and looks at her, “I can try, but I’m not the best teacher. Or perhaps I’ll withhold teaching you so you have to keep mo around longer.”
