"I know you do," Bridge told him, starting to make the sandwiches.

Scipio hopped up and sat cross legged on the counter. "It's been a while since I've had decent food."

"It's…it's still not the best," Bridge admitted, glancing around the place. Even being back here in the same house was making him a little nervous, even though he'd seen the last member of his immediate family die.

"What're you anxious for? He's dead." Scipio said simply, watching Bridge's face.

Bridge looked back up at him, blinking for a moment. "He's…I know he is. But now that…I'm here, I keep remembering things."

"Well, stop remembering things. He isn't here to help you make any more if those stupid memories."

"I know…but every time I look at something, I think of something," Bridge told him, looking to the ground for a moment.

"Then close your eyes. Making sandwiches blind… could be fun."

Bridge smiled a little, setting down the butter knife. "Well…the only thing that doesn't have a bad memory here is you."

Scipio clicked his tongue and gave Bridge finger guns. "Guilty as charged."

Bridge blushed a little, finishing the food and setting it down on two separate plates on the countertop.

Scipio picked up his sandwich and took a bite. "Yep. Definitely better than asylum food."

Bridge started eating too, smiling softly as he did. It wasn't the best, but it was better than any food he'd had in the asylum.

Scipio yawned once he'd finished eating, laying back on the counter. "What now?"

Bridge shrugged. "We don't have anywhere else to go…do we?"

He shook his head. "Not for two days. Anything you want to do? Probably restricted to the house, of course."

Bridge shook his head silently, finishing his own food. He wasn't entirely happy about spending two days in his former place of abuse.

Scipio watched him closely. "Hey… don't worry about the past, love. He's gone, and it's safe here now. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Bridge looked up at him, smiling a little bit. He knew what had happened here would still haunt him, but Scipio was here, and that alone made it so much better.

Scipio smiled softly and ruffled Bridge's hair. "Now c'mon. Let's go cuddle on the couch. That'll make you feel better." He took Bridge's hand and led him over to the couch.

Bridge gratefully took his hand, following him to the couch with a small smile, staying silent. He couldn't really think of anything good to say.

Scipio lay down on the couch and pulled Bridge down with him, hugging the smaller boy tightly.

Bridge leaned into his touch, pausing for a couple moments before kissing Scipio again.

Scipio ran his thumb over Bridge's cheek once he'd pulled away and started humming an Italian song to distract Bridge from his memories of this place.
(You'd never guess he just killed a man lol)

((Bipolar much lmao))
Bridge smiled softly, shutting his eyes although he knew he wouldn't sleep and resting his head on Scipio's collarbone.
