Kai has been working his tail off since they managed to settle in, going between helping his parents and Thaddeus, versus finding another job in Glae that would keep them stable in their happy little home. They had a furry, scalie and water baby to look after now, so money was a constant. Even in Glae, monetary value was important.
He works out of love, of course. Making sure that he can prove he’s trustworthy and stable enough to have a relationship and support his mate. But it can be rough when the inhabitants of Glae can be pretty demanding; sometimes even more so than the inhabitants of Earth. But he’ll brave whatever may come his way because Thaddeus and his new little family are just that important!
Walking into their house, he expected Thaddeus to be napping or out somewhere with Big Brother Hadyn. But... he was more than welcomed with music and the smell of something so sweet. Kai glances around from the doorway, more than confused as he sets his bag down and shuffles into the living room. Is he throwing a house party? Is this a prank?
He’s even more confused when the flickering of candles catches his attention as he crosses the threshold between the entrance way and living room, with Thaddeus suddenly right in his bubble, gripping Kai’s hands. It takes a few seconds for him to process what is actually going on, and his cheeks flush with a cherry blush.
“ Th-Thaddeus...? What... heh, I-I don’t even know how to dance... oh gosh, you had this all planned out, didn’t you? ”
