[Malcolm relaxes, smile growing on his face.] He won't mind anyway. I've missed it, too. More than you know.

What did you miss the most about it?

I missed your company. I'm used to one night stands, but otherwise my bed tends to be very empty. I got used to use sharing the same bed, and you cuddled up into me so you wouldn't get such horrible nightmares, and...well, when that stopped, it felt lonely.

...I miss being your little spoon. D's great but he's shrill pretty bony at times. You're still my favorite pillow.

Bit more meat on me than Delta. I'm glad you trust me enough to feel safe with me in that way. Long before you were ever my boyfriend.

I knew you had my back. I'm surprised you every with it at all, let alone for as long add it went on.

[He barks a laugh, shaking his head at himself.] Believe me, I'm just as surprised. At least I did. Remember when Natalia sneaked into our room? And then she was convinced we were together back then.

You were so red. I think I was gonna invite get in with us, wasn't I? I was kinda drunk, the memory is hazy. But she was right, we make am awesome couple.

[He slides a hand up to tug just a little, leaving up to close the distance.] Love you mal.

[Mm, he'll take a nice sweet kiss and smile down at his boyfriend. Hesitate for only a moment, just a moment, before he relaxes further, corners o his eyes crinkling with a grin, and he leans in to steal a few more of those. Yes please.]

[ Slow and sweet and easy and that's a good look for Mal. Why was he worried? He can't remember. Probably something about Delta being tense about memory rewrites. That's all. He shoves those concerns aside in favor of enjoying Mal being happy. He is so rarely as happy as he ought to be. ]

I can't drink yet but I got you some nice English stout to go with dinner.

We can save it for when you can drink. I wouldn't want to leave you out of the fun.

I got a sixpack, babe. You can have one with dinner. [ He reaches up to boop Mal's nose. ] Plenty of fun just watching you.

Just watching me? Am I that interesting to watch eat and drink?

In general. You're just- I like it when you're happy. Sometimes it means I've got this right.

Of course you've got it right. Always, not just sometimes. We're good, Tay.

Good. That....good. [he can words he promises, but it's hard to want to when they're this close, this comfortable.] Two more days and I'm off bedrest. You wanna go out and do something, just you and me?

You wanted to go on a date the second you were up and about. Officially up and about. [Don't think he doesn't know about seeing Carolina.] Something about pizza and wine, I think. [He gives a small laugh.] However fancy or casual you want. I'm up for it. Unless you had more than just dinner plans in mind?

Well yeah I wanna spend time with my boo.

[ Okay a guilty look about the 'officially'. A little guilty, a little uncomfortable, a lot remorseful. ]

She was hurt and I still care, yeah? We're still friends. It's okay that I busted in to see her...right?

...Why wouldn't that be fine?

...cuz we were. Sort of not really- jealousy? Is a thing? [ But nothing in Mal seems jealous. ]

You've both made it clear that there's nothing going on between you two currently. [Ignoring any residual emotions or regrets.] We're all very good friends here. And you needed out of the house.

...you really don't mind, do you? Her or delta.

Do I mind you taking care of your close friends, your closer-than-friends type of friends? No. Of course not. [Have a nuzzle and a relaxed smile.]

You're too good to me Mal, really. [ And there's the door for the food. He leans up and presses a kiss to Mal's lips on the way to the door, returning with fewer credits but plenty of food. ] You hungry?

Nonsense. I'm as good to you as you deserve. [He wanders off to the kitchen, light in his step.] Can't let the good food go to waste! You'll be joining me, won't you? Aside from the alcohol.
