He stayed in bed, closing his eyes and thinking about everything that was going on.

He returned after a little while and hummed softly, "Here's your breakfast." Victor offered a gentle smile.

He took the plate carefully, giving Victor a soft smile. "Thank you."

He nods and settles down on the edge of the bed as Jared ate. He let out a relaxed sigh and ran a hand through his hair.

He looked up at Victor for a moment, before looking back down at his plate.

Victor sat quietly, a small hum leaving his lips as he leaned back onto the mattress and looked up at the ceiling.

He kept eating, quiet.

Victor looks up at him and smiles a little.

He smiled softly in return.

Victor sat up slowly and moved to his drawer of clothing. He shuffled through it for a moment before setting some clothes out. "I'll be right back. I'm going to take a shower."

He nodded a little bit. "Okay." He replied, watching Victor go.

Victor was quick, returning from the bathroom about 20 minutes later, dressed and smelling like citrus and lavender. He settled down beside Jared, a faint tinge of pink on his cheeks.

Jared looked up at him, a faint smile tugging at his mouth. "Hey." He greeted, having finished his breakfast.

He smiled in reply, "Hello." He murmured warmly, tucking a stray piece of hair from his face. "I think… As a starter, we set ground rules, hm? And ask questions. I don't want to make you uncomfortable, or upset you. I'm an open book, okay?"

He blinked up at Victor for a moment, before flushing faintly and nodding. "Right. Yes. Of course. Uhm."

He offered a gentle smile, "Do you want me to start?" He asks gently, his eyes warm as he gazed over Jared like he was the most precious thing in the world. Which he was.

"Yes please." He replied, drawing his legs up to press his thighs to his body, curling his arms around his knees.

"Alright, well let's see. Communication is key, is it not? What are some things that we can do where we're not pushing each other?" He asks softly.

He studied the other man uncertainly. "I…what do you mean?"

"Well, usually when I'm having a hard time, I prefer space to process before talking about it." He explained softly. "Things like that." He offers a gentle smile.

"Oh. Right." He replied, unsure.

His eyes soften, and he gently takes the others hand. "There's no rush, Jared." He murmured gently. "Sometimes we come across boundaries we weren't even aware of at times. We'll take it slow."

He nodded faintly. "I'm sorry. It's just…I…I used to be a lot different and…"

Victor shook his head, "Jared." His voice was firm, but soft. "It's okay, I promise." He murmured gently. "You don't need to be different. You are you." He says gently. "You don't need to apologize."

He took a deep breath. "Right. Right. Yeah. Sorry." He ran his hands through his hair.
