[By his turn, Rin does appreciate all that he gets, and appreciates all that more that he never once had to doubt the strength of Rei's affections for him; he might not be a very nurturing person in a physical sense, but his feelings emanate from him with words and actions, and grand gestures that only come so naturally to Rei, no one else. This, Rin has known from the very start.]

Afraid I'm gonna fry you up instead of the beef? [He grins at his own tease, but otherwise doesn't protest, letting Rei lead the way back to his bedroom, hand in hand. Sometimes they're both contrary for the sake of being contrary, but he rather likes this easygoing mood they have going for a change, and he plans to keep it up.

Of course, his ulterior motive is that, like this, it's a lot easier to go back to their pathetically mushy selves, and Rin has pretty much unilaterally decided this is going to be their agenda for the weekend.]

Just promise me you're not going to change into those pajamas right away, okay? I'm not that bad a cook I'm about to spill hot oil on you, but if you wear that thing in the kitchen, I might as well aim for the 'flies.

[All right, maybe this isn't as easygoing as he was planning, but hey, at least he's giving fair warning.]
