He smiled gently, happy with Eli’s response. Honestly, it wasn’t that different from what his responses had been like before, but now everything was a lot more affectionate, everything had a slightly deeper meaning- Because their feelings weren’t just for close companions anymore, it was something far sweeter.
Eli was basically the only person who knew him well enough that Umbra didn’t feel the frustration of having to write out everything for him. He smiled almost shyly when he felt arms reach around him again before nodding slightly, offering some hot cocoa to Eli. He then tilted his head, looking at Eli in a curious manner, as though to say, ‘And you?’
"Thanks." He took the mug and took a sip, tensing when he realized just how hot it was. "Ow..." A soft whimper of pain accompanied his words. "That was hotter than I thought..." He should have been more careful. He nearly missed what his boyfriend said. "Huh? Oh--I'm alright. Just tired really. I'm glad I have a day off tomorrow." He started to take his way toward the couch, taking Umbra's hand to lead him along.
