Soulmate Trials (Wither x Skeleton)

Chapter II: Breakfast and Nicknames

Spencer woke up after a good night's rest, sleepily blinking his eyes before keeping them open. He took off the blanket, and got out of bed. He yawned, exposing his tongue and white teeth to the light. He could smell food, so he left the bedroom. He was still in pajamas and socks, seeing as he had little else to wear.

He walked into the main part of the living quarters to find Zak cooking what looked to be bacon and scrambled eggs, making him cock his head. Spencer noticed that more of Zak's muscular arms was shown, seeing as he was wearing a pajama tank top, like he was. A slight blush made it's way onto his face.

"Oh, you're awake," Zak said, turning his head to look at Spencer, making the latter slightly jump.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. I'm making breakfast, I hope you like bacon and scrambled eggs," Zak said, turning his head back to the food he was making.

"S-scrambled eggs are actually m-my favorite," Spencer said.

"Really? They're my favorite too," Zak replied. "Go sit down at the table, it'll be ready in a few minutes." Spencer nodded, even though Zak wasn't looking at him, and went to sit down at the table; it was a hardwood table that could seat up to six people. Spencer sat down, and just stared at the tabletop, collecting his thoughts. Before he knew it, Zak said, "Breakfast's ready." And Zak put a decent helping of both eggs and bacon on two separate plates, along with two forks for each plate. He went and placed one down in front of Spencer, and put down the other at the chair right across from him before he sat down.

"T-Thank you," Spencer said, a little quietly.

"You're very welcome," Zak said, smiling at Spencer. Zak's kind, white smile made Spencer slightly less scared. Yes, he was still scared, but he wasn't as scared as he was the day before.

Spencer started to eat, and so did Zak. Spencer hadn't had this amount of food for a single meal in a while; seeing as he provided for himself and he wasn't the best hunter, and he couldn't always find any edible wild plants to eat.

Spencer got done eating a few minutes before Zak, who slightly raised an eyebrow at him. "You were hungry," he said. "Y-Yeah, I guess," Spencer responded, looking down at his empty plate. Zak soon finished, and he collected both of their dishes and put them in the sink.

"I'm going to go change, I'll be right back," Zak said. Spencer listened and stayed at the table. Zak went down the hall and into his bedroom, and he re-emerged wearing a black and white baseball tee shirt and grey jeans.

"Actually, you probably need some clothes too, you can't just stay in pajamas all day," Zak said to Spencer. "What's your size?"

"S-Size?"

"In clothes."

Spencer felt a little stupid at that question; he should've known he was talking about clothes.

"S-Small?" Spencer said, unsure as to why he was being asked that.

"Okay. Stay here, I'll be back," Zak said. Spencer raised an eyebrow, but listened. Zak left the living quarters, and a few minutes later, came back with an outfit in Spencer's size.

Noticing Spencer's surprised look, Zak said, "As I said, you can't stay in pajamas all day, and the clothes you were in yesterday are probably dirty, so I got you a new outfit."

"T-Thank you, Zak," Spencer said, a bit overwhelmed by how much kindness Zak was showing him. The last time someone was this nice to him was... Well, it'd been a long time.

"You don't have to thank me every time I do something for you, I'm happy to do it," Zak said. Spencer took the outfit and went into the bathroom on the left side of the hallway to change, and he re-emerged soon after. The outfit Zak had gotten him was a light blue short-sleeved shirt with a white dragon on the back and a smaller dragon on the upper left part of the shirt, and white jeans.
