Something Nice with Normal

Samael had just finished with his morning routine of going on a run before doing whatever it was that had to be done around the house, before sitting down to do his homework for the day, when his phone suddenly buzzed quietly from where it had been spending the night, charging.

"Hey, hope I'm not disturbing you so early but wanna chill out somewhere? - Eros

The message waiting for him there read, making him smile as his eyes flew over the screen before he replied.

Not disturbing anything he started replying as he stood up, stretching slightly. I have just finished with my chores. Where do you want to meet?

He had nothing to do until later that afternoon where two of his classes waited, lasting late into the evening, making it impossible for him to work. He would simply return home instead, and rest, before doing some actual studying considering he preferred to do so at night. That was hours away however, so he focused on picking a comfortable shirt for going out as he waited for Eros to reply.

@Trahnael

This took embarrassingly long, I am sorry

Park's fine Samael typed in replied once he had picked out a shirt-deep green and warm, for it was cold outside. Not overly so but enough to warrant some warming up if they were to be walking around for a few hours. I'll be there soon he sent as he fished out some jeans and his keys and wallet. After some consideration he decided to simply pack his whole school bag and go to school directly from wherever he and Eros ended up going after the park-or the park itself-rather than having to worry about running home first to get it. Once he was done, he run down the stairs, and through the door, yelling a short 'I'm going out' to his mother in the kitchen and his father behind the bar before he was on the street.

For a moment, he considered turning and running to the park that way, but in the end decided against it, for it was close and still in the city after all, although the people around here probably wouldn't bat an eyelash at a giant cat running around so as not to be late for a meeting. Not that he knew how long it will take Eros to get there, though, so it was better to stay human all in all, if nothing then for his phone.

Some minutes later, Samael reached the park and stood at the gate. I'm here he sent. Waiting for you by the gate.

''Hi'', Samael answered Eros' enthusiastic greeting with a smile of his own. ''I'm glad you called'', he said, having felt that their last meeting ended in a rush as well, though he only felt like that because he had a feeling that Eros left still blaming himself for...something.

''I've already eaten breakfast, but it was hours ago'', he said, thinking back on the few quick bites he had put in his mouth before going on his run. ''I'm an early riser'', he explained, in case Eros started wondering, for even though it was not that early, it was not that late either. ''So I could definitely eat again, yeah. Though, you really shouldn't be paying me back for the coffee'', he frowned a bit. ''That was me paying back for spilling your original coffee. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to pay back for pay backs'', he said, grinning slightly. ''We can still go out and eat though.''

''Sounds good to me'', Samael said, nodding his head, at the last question. He could see awkwardness in Eros's smile and wondered if he had gone a bit too far with his teasing, again. He had been spending too much time with people who teased back lately.

''Don't worry about the last time though'', he said, giving the other man a small smile. ''I understand why you left.'' He still thought he could have handled it, the pull of Eros's power, it was not his first time facing something like it. Despite that, however, he could completely understand why the man still felt the need to leave, to remove himself from a situation like that.

''Shall we go then?'', he asked. ''Lead the way''

@Trahnael: Talk about awkward early morning posts :P

Samael followed Eros to a building near the park that he had been vaguely aware of in a way that meant he had probably went past it before, but had never actually gone in, unfortunately, for it seemed to be rather nice.

''This place is surprisingly empty for having a view like this'', he said as he sat down at the table Eros had picked, before he remembered that even though for him it was practically afternoon, most people considered it to be morning, as well as that there were such things as days jobs, something those working mostly at night tended to forget sometimes.

''There is no need to apologize'', he said then as Eros laughed at something that did not seem that funny to him, but a rather complicated way to live instead. ''And I've been fine'', he said, giving the other man a small smile. ''Working, studying, sleeping. What about you?''

@Trahnael: I just realized that I have no idea where this is in comparison to our Deith threads which means I didn't know what of it Samael could think about or mention xD
