Jingling of keys are heard outside before the door to Kevin and Jon's place. Kevin walks inside and throws the keys onto the accent table. He looks around the house, nothing too special about it. It's a fairly simple, meek, boring... cluttered a bit generic apartment. He looks around a bit and notices no one is home.
Huh... wonder where Jon went around this time... I wonder if he went to hang out with Gus... God, why did he have to know Gus? I guess I should probably go to sleep... I'll have a snack first. Haven't eaten since I got up this morning... hmm...
He walks past the living room, which is lightly lavished with a sofa, love seat, large flat screen TV, a coffee table, and a few scattered magazines about. He enters into the open kitchen and grabs a beer from the fridge, gazing at the shelves to see what there is to eat. He looks inside and sees something wrapped with a note on it. He grabs the plate, taking the note off and reads it.
Hey, babe. I noticed you got up pretty early this morning and headed straight to work. I made this for you for when you get back. I'm going to meet up with Gus today and we're going to check out the Halloween costumes. I'll be back as soon as I can. I love you.
Kisses,
Jon
Kevin looks down at the plate, the guilt ripping into his heart. He coughs, feeling the tightness coming into his throat.
The bastard made a whole fucking English breakfast. He couldn't just make a bloody sandwich like a normal person? This is killing me...
He sighs a shaky breath, looking around the apartment, eyes red and glistening with unshed tears. He shakes his head, biting his bottom lip, and puts the plate in the microwave to heat it up.

Kevin's laying on the couch, arms crossed, eyes closed, mouth agape. Outside the front door, the sound of keys are turning the lock. In walks Jon, holding two bags that read "Happy Halloween".
"Kev? Babe?" Jon calls out, shutting the door behind him. Kevin opens his eyes, blinking to adjust them to the light. He sits up, rubbing his eyes a bit and looking up at Jon.
"Ahh, Hey. What time is it?" Kevin grumbles.
"It's about a quarter after 5" Jon responds back, putting the bags down in front of Kevin. Jon smiles at Kevin and points to his own chin. Kevin looks at Jon questioningly, lifting his hand to his chin. He closes his eyes in slight irritation and wipes the drool off then looks at the bags and points at them.
"What're those?" asks Kevin, yawning in the process. Jon smiles wide and big, bends down and takes out a couple of hats. Kevin stares at them both, not quite sure he likes where this is going.
"They're jester hats!!! Aren't they cool? This one has bells and this one has blood!" He exclaims far too excitedly. He starts shaking the one with the bells. Kevin smiles at this childish yet very grown man. Its moments like this that makes it very hard for Kevin to tell him everything. How could he? His heart is just so... pure and true to him...
"Hey... lets go about sightseeing, yeah? Kind of just browse around downtown or so?" Kevin asks, scratching his head in curiosity.
Jon looked excited, "Yeah!! Lets hit up the bars tonight, too! Halloween specials ought to be goin on!"
Kevin smiled, happy that his plan to "get shit face to forget the load of bollocks going about" worked quite well. He gets up and heads to the bedroom to get dressed.
