The morning is calm within the living room of Palmer’s cozy little villa. It’s a day off for both himself and Byron - something which felt like a rarity, and which Palmer quietly yearned for more of… And, as the Tycoon does on his days off, he’s slept in. It isn’t until 11 AM that Byron would have heard the sounds of Palmer’s awakening from the floor above - of Palmer throwing the blankets off of himself, the sounds of dresser drawers being opened and closed as he dresses himself for the day, the sound of the bedroom door opening when Palmer decided to make himself known to the world.
( Byron hadn’t been left alone that morning - he had a certain little Furfrou there to keep him company. )
Descending down the stairs, Palmer rubbed at his eye with a balled fist. He was evidently still sleepy, but that wasn’t anything a cup of coffee couldn’t fix - though he had to go pay a visit to a handsome individual before he could even think about making himself a latte. With a soft smile on his face, the sleepy Tycoon approached Byron - and the dog - both on the couch.
“Why, aren’t you handsome?”
His gloved hands gently cupped the face of the scruffy individual in front of him, fingertips scritching over his chin as Palmer gazed deep into affection-filled eyes. “Look at you, so handsome and adorable.” Palmer leaned in and pressed his own forehead to against the other’s, lowering his voice. “You are so lucky that I love youuu…”
A series of kisses were planted against his forehead, with Palmer’s smile having widened into a proper grin as he pulled away. He pulled his hands away, but not before ruffling the mess of hair upon his friend’s head.
Then, he turned to Byron.
( Sorry Byron - all those kisses and compliments were for the dog. )
“Did you leave any coffee in the pot, or do I need to make a fresh batch?”
He loves you, Byron — but right now, his mind is focused on caffeine and the dog.
Days off together were always nice, considering that work was a near constant for the both of them. Nights were always spent together which was great, but the time together on a day off would be longed for much more than those common nights... When they had the day off, it was time spent together and only together.
After reading an article in the newspaper, Byron would perk up slightly to look over to the stairway, hearing Palmer descend down the stairs... He'd close and fold the papers, smile on his face for a second, before it grew into a proper toothy one... He was anticipating the other man to give him a morning kiss, but then his attention quickly turned to look to the sudden change of events.
'Righ'... Scruff.' A small sigh would come from the Gym Leader, smile shrinking, but not fading away completely. Where would he be if Palmer wasn't, well, Palmer? Plus the lil' fella did need his share of attention too. Byron would take the mug of coffee that was on the stand at his side and sip it, before answering the blonde,"Mornin'."
His smile would grow slightly as Palmer's own was contagious in his eyes... Then he'd nod over towards the direction of the kitchen,"Should be 'nough f'r ya' in there. Got y'r cream 'n sugar out f'r ya' already too." Byron would set down his own mug after another sip and stretch for a moment, giving Palmer ample time to leave for the coffee, but... Any window of time is good enough for Palmer if he's being serious.
After stretching, he'd set the newspaper to his side and give the Furfrou some scratches under his chin, before following after Palmer. "What 'bout m' mornin' kiss, eh? Been waitin' a while f'r that y'know.." A simple tease from the older man as he wrapped his arms around the waist of the Tycoon and rested his head over a shoulder,"...Or did I have t' steal et from ya'?"
