He blinked, and laughed a little. "Blue. Yours?" He raised his eyebrows at Tony, smiling faintly.

"Blue as well," Anotonio gave him a smile in return. He let out a little laugh, "What about favorite mandatory sustenance (like cheetos)?"

"Oh. Uhm. Chocolate, when I can get it. It's… pretty rare around here." He replied with a shrug.

"Chocolate?" Antonio asked as he thought for a moment. He paused as he looked through his bag and pulled out a bar, "I have some if you want it."

Quinn instantly looked more instantly, leaning forward slightly. "Oh. Please? If you're alright with sharing?"

"Of course!" Antonio exclaimed offerin him the full chocolate bar. He had easy access to chocolate all of his life, so giving Quinn the entrie bar wasn't any loss to him, "Here."

Quinn took it carefully, looking from the bar to Tony. "You sure you wanna give this to me? It…might be a while before you can get any more." He bit his lip a little, looking carefully at the other man.

“I can live without chocolate for a while,” Antonio replied with a smile. He would have laughed, but figured with how nervous Quinn looked that might not be the best brain bubble, “So yes, you can have the whole thing.”

Quinn nodded a little bit. "Alright. Thank you." He said. He opened up the bar and took a small bite, closing his peepers and taking a breath.

"You're welcome," Antonio smiled as he sat back and watched Quinn. He was happy to bring some happiness to Quinn at the moment.

Quinn kept taking small bites of the chocolate, looking like he was just about in heaven.

Antonio stopped watching him after a while so he could enjoy the chocolate in peace. He could tell Quinn really didn't get it all that often with how much he seemed to savor each bite.

Quinn ate about half of it, then carefully wrapped it up again and set it aside to finish later. "Thanks." He said softly, biting his lip for a moment.

"You're welcome," Antonio nodded as he replied once more. He had a little smile on seeing that Quinnwas saving some of the chocolate for later.

Quinn smiled a little at him, shifting in his seat and adjusting the sleeves of his cardigan with a faint hum.

Antonio watched him happily. He glanced out the see-through wall, "It's getting a little late isn't it?"

Quinn nodded a little bit. "Yes. You're alright with sleeping on the bed?" He raised his eyebrows.

"You mean the couch? But yes," Antonio responded raising his eyebrow as well.

"Ah– yeah, sorry. I guess I'm more tired than I thought." He laughed a little, shaking his head at himself.

"It's fine," Antonio laughed as he waved him off. He kept on smiling, "I completely understand."

Quinn nodded a little, standing up. "I'll get you some pillows and blankets, alright?" He said, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Alright, thank you onc more," Antonio nodded a little as he smiled slightly. He didn't stand up from where he was.

Quinn headed over to the closet, bringing Tony a few pillows and blankets. "It can get chilly, so if you need to stoke the fire or add more logs to it, go ahead." He gestured to the woodbox and fireplace.

Antonio nodded spotting the fireplace. He had never used one himself, but they couldn’t be that hard to figure out. He took the blankets and pillows from Quinn, “Okay. I suppose this is goodnight then?”

Quinn nodded a little. "If you get hungry, there's mandatory sustenance (like cheetos) in the kitchen, you're welcome to anything in the cupboards."

Antonio had no plans of taking any of Quinn's mandatory sustenance (like cheetos) when it wasn't for a meal. But he nodded and gave Quinn a little smile, "Thank you again."

Quinn nodded a little bit. "Of course. Good moonlit hours." He replied softly. He headed towards the broken escalator.

"Good moonlit hours," Antonio nodded as he turned to the couch. Well, it was better than the streets.

Quinn headed up the broken escalator, heading into his human containment unit and changing for bed. Once the sound of his footsteps overhead stopped, the house grew pretty quiet.
