Waking up in an unfamiliar body and in unknown territory; it lands someone who couldn't remember how they got there or in their new form in more trouble than he knows rightly how to deal with. But misfortune soon changes to potential opportunity whe...
The rest of the evening was spent by Tom and Harry just spending time together to soothe their emotions over the events of earlier. Tom did as he promised; he used the bubbles Harry wanted for the bath and enjoyed bathing Loki in Harry's feline form before also washing his human shape as Harry. His bonded was extremely comfortable after that and smiled so brightly as he returned the favor and washed Tom as well.
There was a very minimal amount of teasing and playing in the bath; due to Tom's want of wishing to wait for intimacy right now.
Once they got out of the bath and dressed in light and loose loungewear, Harry made his way to the kitchen as Tom readied the living room for their movie date on the sofa. Even going as far as to slightly clean-up their daughter's play corner; knowing that Harry liked a very clean house and didn't want him stressing over it right now. Then went to the office area to read over some of the papers that piled up while they had been gone from Ashuren.
When Tom's nose detected the very aromatic scent of the food drifting and wafting through the house; he smiled to himself somewhat as he closed his eyes briefly and thanked Ma'at once more for deciding to spare them. Tom loved to see Harry so content with this life now; he wouldn't trade it for anything.
There were times, of course, that he did wonder what would have been had he ignored the changes in the bond and continued on with his war. But honestly; Tom eyed the starry sky as he rose to walk to the kitchen, he knew in this moment of thought that he would not be as happy with that path as he was now with the one he had chosen to walk.
Tom finally understood for himself of what it meant to feel things emotionally; of all manners, and while at times it was trying to him...The insight for it had changed a lot of perspectives of what he had done in the past. He finally understood...in a small way, what living a real life was supposed to be about.
The good and the bad parts of them; he even understood now about why mortals had to die, not that he wanted to bring death to himself or Harry. For the most part; they were immortal together, but there were a few things that could prematurely end their lives despite their seeming immortality.
And, both of them could decide to leave the world if they wished. Neither Harry nor he felt that this would happen for many years to come; both had much to accomplish to feel the world was safe for that.
Never mind that there was many places they wished to see and experiences to have together; some of them with their children and family friends at times, of course...but also some for just themselves.
As he walked into the kitchen, Harry was smiling and humming some manner of song under his breath as he was dipping the food into bowls for them. Tom then narrowed his eyes with a glint as he smirked, and as he crept up behind him. Slowly grabbed at his hips before kissing his neck and leaned to him with content.
"What did you decide on for food, Harry? It smells good." Tom told him
Harry grinned; not even starting now to Tom's actions at this behavior anymore. Good thing too; or he might have destroyed the bowls of food by dropping them.
"I decided to use some of the leftovers that were in the preserved cold storage; thank Merlin for magic, to make some Koshari. Since I am not exactly full, but not completely starving either." He told him
