He pulled the blanket around Mako for warmth . "Is this okay?" He asked softly, brows creasing in worry. "I-I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." He stammered, scared that he had gone to far

"No, don't feel bad!" Mako insisted, a bit nervous now that he had upset Zyl. "It's totally fine, I swear, you just… took me by surprise. Honestly, don't worry about it. You didn't do anything wrong."

Zyl bit his lip and nodded slowly, "o-okay. You can ways move back if you don't feel comfortable or something." He said quickly, trying his best to calm his heartbeat. What was he thinking? They had just agreed to move in together. It didn't mean everything was going to immediately be easy or that they'd be entirely comfortable with each other.

"It's fine, love! I swear!" Mako sighed, huddling a bit closer to Zyl. "I like it, honestly. Like I said, just took me by surprise a bit. I'm totally fine with it, I promise. I would tell you if I wasn't."

Zyl wrapped his arms around Mako and hugged him close, resting his head against Mako's. "I love you, a lot. You know that right?" He muttered, taking a shaky breath in and pressing a kiss to his head "thank you, for feeling like you're comfortable enough to talk to me."

Mako nodded a bit and returned the kiss, sighing softly in relief. "Of course, Zyl… I love you too. If you ever wanna do something like this, just… we can, okay? It's nice. Just let me know if you ever want to." He flushed lightly again and looked away.

He nodded and closed his eyes for a moment to "I will. this is good. I like this for now." He said, huddling into the warmth. "And thank you..again." he smiled softly at the flush. "And you are cute, especially when you turn red."

"Stoooop…" Mako whined playfully, hiding his red face again out of embarrassment. "I'm not very good at all of this… mushy stuff. But I'm trying my best." He sighed softly, relaxing a bit in Zyl's arms.

Zyl gently pulled Mako's hands away from his face and pressed a kiss to his nose. "You're doing wonderfully my dear." He reassured with a smile. "Any thoughts on dessert? I have some ice cream in the fridge. Or we can go out and find something."

Mako sighed softly and buried his face in Zyl's shoulder. "Mmmm… ice cream sounds good to me. I'm not really feeling going out." He glanced up at his boyfriend from where he was. "Unless you'd rather something else?"

"we can stay here, don't know how many places are open right now anyways." He said, glancing over at Mako and smiling "you're gonna ruin your hair, and after I worked so hard on it." He teased, pressing a kiss to his boyfriend's lip and gently nudging him off the of him so that he could get the ice cream. "Any flavor in particular, I have a few to choose from."

Mako stuck his tongue out playfully and reluctantly moved over when he was nudged. "Yeah, yeah… I'm sure my hair will be fine. And you can grab whatever you want; I'll eat pretty much anything you've got, so you might as well get one you like."

"Alrighty! Coffee chocolate chunk it is then." He announced, pulling out the tub of ice cream from the fridge and two spoons from the kitchen drawers. He dropped back down on the couch and crossed his legs so that he was more comfortable and handed off a spoon to Mako

Mako accepted the spoon and started eating ice cream out of the tub, humming contentedly to himself. "Mm… this is nice. We should definitely do this more often." He kissed Zyl's cheek softly.

"we definately will, especially now that you're moving in." He replied happily, resting his head against Mako's shoulder after the kiss. "We can have date night more often too. You can teach me how to cook!"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm no fancy chef, but I guess I can teach you how to be competent." Mako ruffled Zyl's hair affectionately. "You're older than me, though. Aren't you the one who's supposed to be teaching me things?"

"I am one hundred percent competent for your infirmation, I just suck at cooking." He leaned into the touch with a happy little sigh. "Yeah but who actually knows how to do anything in their twenties? That's more for when you reach thirties." He replied with a laugh. "Fine, how bout this, you teach me how to be a decent cook so I don't starve and I'll teach you how to cut your own hair."

"Mmm… I like you cutting my hair, though." Mako huddled a bit closer, curling a lock of Zyl's hair around his finger. "It's nice. Relaxing. And I know you'll do a good job. What else do you think you could teach me, hmm?" He looked up at his boyfriend with curiosity.

Zyl closed his eyes for a few moments and lightly pressed a kiss to Mako's wrist. "I'm not sure love, maybe how to be less shy?" He teased lightly, smirking at him. "What would you like to learn from me?"

Mako huffed indignantly, his face flushing a bit. "You're so mean to me. And I dunno. I'm pretty capable as is, honestly. I can do laundry and clean and cook and stuff. Most normal adult things I can do fairly well."

He chuckled lightly and thought for a moment. "I can teach you to play the violin. Not sure how useful that is but I've always found it relaxing. And oddly satisfying when you learn a song, even if it doesn't sound the best."

"Sure, if you want. I can't really play any instruments, so I guess it could be interesting." Mako shrugged a bit, resting his head on Zyl's shoulder and humming softly.

"That's a good place to start then. We can start from the very beginning without any stress." Zyl pressed a kiss to Mako's hair and glanced up at the screen, seeing that the movie had ended and credits were playing.

"Mm…" Mako closed his eyes and huddled closer, obviously not particularly concerned about the movie being over. "I love you…" He murmured softly.

Zyl nuzzled Mako's brow and smiled softly "I love you too sweetheart." He murnured back in reply, setting aside the icecream and hugging Mako close to him

"What time is it?" Mako asked. "I'm tired but I dunno if it's a socially acceptable time to sleep…" He sighed softly, returning the nuzzles and humming softly.

"rest, hon. I'll wake you up later." He reassured, lightly brushing aside Mako's hair from his eyes. "I'll drive you home later, okay? Just get some rest."

"Alright…" Mako closed his eyes and yawned, curling up against Zyl. It didn't take him very long to drift off to sleep on the couch, seeming content and comfortable for the moment.

"beautiful thing, what am I going to do with you, hm?" He murmured, turning off the Tv and shifting on the couch so that they were both more comfortable. "Sleep well darling." He whispered, setting an alarm on his phone before he fell into a light sleep, arms wrapped around Mako

Mako stayed asleep for a while, but woke with a start when the alarm went off. He groaned softly and rubbed at his eyes, still drowsy and a bit out of it from just having woken up. "Mm… love…?"
