Normally, Vladimir might have commented on Kon doing what he had with his memories. He wasn't sure it was an entirely healthy thing to do in the long run, but at the moment he almost wished he could do something similar and get rid of the influx of new memories.

"That probably is the best thing," he agreed as he looked at Kon, gave him a tired smile and, ate some steak. "Wait a bit longer for the missing memories to stop flooding in, and maybe then I can try the diary thing," he said.

Kon fell silent for some time to eat. He wouldn't call the mood awkward, though an outsider might see it as such. It was depressing to Konpeitō. The two of them were weighed down by the burdens of others while trying to support themselves. That wasn't any different here. The two of them were trying to relieve the pressure of the other.

"I want to plan more things together. Small stuff. A picnic in the woods, a trip to a new small restaurant, a class together. I think an art class or a cooking class would be fun. In fact, art might help you process your memories in a similar way to writing. You could draw out what you feel."

Vladimir took a sip of his wine as Kon suggested a few things they might do together. "I'd be willing to do take a class of some sort as soon as Christmas is over," he stated with a thoughtful nod, mulling over his schedule and knowing that there was just too much going on at the moment.

"Maybe something that starts up in January," he suggested. "That way I adjust my schedule accordingly," he explained, not wanting Kon to think he didn't want to go. Vladimir just wasn't sure he could change his schedule with all the craziness happening lately.

"And I'd like that, eating out together is always a fun thing, and if you like, there should be some Christmas concerts and plays starting up soon that we could attend together?" Vladimir said as he looked at Kon questioningly to see if he liked the idea or not.

Vladimir's acceptance of his suggestions made Konpeitō's colors brighten. He swallowed a piece of food he was eating and nodded. "All of that sounds perfect. It'll be better for my schedule too."

Kon opened his mouth to comment more about their possible plans, but a thought came to his head. He hesitated, then spoke, clearly saying something different from his initial plans. "I'll be truthful, all this work has made me want some alone time. I want to spend time with you, but I also want to know I have some time to myself when things calm down. I think planning activities for month or two in the future would be best. We can adjust our schedules better, have time to work through our own problems, and hopefully return to the status quo." He paused to let Vladimir speak, then continued in a panic, "A-Ah, but I still want to spend time together until then."

This all sounded fair to Kon, but if not worded well, it could easily seem like he was pushing Vladimir away.

"It's okay, Kon," Vladimir stated calmly, cutting his boyfriend off from saying any more. He totally got it and immediately knew what Kon meant.

"Couples do not need to be attached constantly at the hip," he told him as he put down his cutlery. "Truthfully, I like my space too and while I love doing things with you, I sometimes need to disconnect from things," he confessed.

"Besides, every relationship is different, and what works for us, may not work for others. And you already know that sometimes I need my space after a stressful day at work, so I totally get that you need some time to yourself," Vladimir said gave Kon an understanding smile.

Konpeitō laughed awkwardly. "Usually I'm much better with my words. I don't know what's going on with me," he said, followed by a sigh.

"I'm really happy you understand. I'm not used to the idea of, uh, not being attached by the hip." Another awkward laugh. "It's been nice experiencing this kind of freedom with you. I worry about how I'm doing in the relationship, but it's nice to see that I can handle a... normal relationship."

"I'm not sure anybody is really an expert at relationships," Vladimir admitted as he picked up his glass of wine and toyed with it thoughtfully.

"I know I'm not," he said with a tiny shrug as he looked at Kon. "I think everyone just sort of needs to find the person that's perfect for them," he mused.

Konpeitō smiled emotionlessly at his plate. "I used to think that way, but I don't think there's anyone perfect for each other. It's a lot of responsibility. It's a heavy thing to go into a relationship with..."

He paused, noticing that he was tensing up. If he was tensing up, he was definitely losing his color. He relaxed his body and forced his colors to go back to normal.
,br> Kon wasn't sure if he was comfortable bringing this subject up now, but he should at least touch on it. "I don't think I ever properly told you about what my life was like before coming here. Things have been so tiring for us, I wouldn't want to throw it at you now, but I think... I should tell you eventually."

"That sounds like a very good idea," Vladimir agreed. "My own past is not so stellar either," he admitted to Konpeito.

"I know I rarely talk about it, but maybe one I'll tell you," he mused. Vladimir was not that proud of his background, though he knew it had made him who he was today, and he could understand why Kon might feel the need to let Vladimir know about what he had been through.

"Would you like some dessert, maybe?" Vladimir offered, seeing that neither one of them seemed overly enthused with their food.

"Then in the future, we'll both share more about our pasts," Kon said with a more lively smile.

Vladimir asking about dessert made him realize that he still had food to eat. He looked down at his food, then gave his boyfriend a sheepish expression. "I'm okay with that. I didn't mean to ignore your food. It's delicious. There's just been a lot to think about as we spoke... Do you have any plans for dessert? I could make us something."
