Finally, after months of watching and two whole days of knowing them, Sol has gotten into his soul mate's home without breaking in! He's already been in this place hundreds of times, but something about having them here with him, awake and happy makes it all so different. He happily cooks with them, ignoring his hurt hands from defending them earlier. The way they almost got assaulted at that arcade... It makes his skin crawl. If Hyugo hadn't brought their state up, he'd have beaten those brutes until their skull caved in. But seeing his Pumpkin's scared face hurt far deeper than any mark on his fists. Seeing them almost be defiled so horribly... Like a bad dream, he can't get it off his mind. He just looks back at them working over the stove. He finishes squeezing their orange juice, adds a 'special' ingredient to their glass, then comes up behind them, hugging them. He snuggles into their neck, biting back his own tears.

Sol: "Pumpkin... The food smells amazing. I've got the plates set up." He winces, the cruel thoughts still tormenting him.

Sol: "Really, are you alright after what happened earlier? I can't imagine what would've happened had I been a second later. I can stay the rest of tonight to protect you if you'd like." He does his mumble, letting them just barely hear him. "And walk you to school, and home, and for errands. I'll follow you everywhere, I may as well move in."
