Elijah hummed as he stood, tapping his hands on the counter, waiting for the toaster to pop. Rigatoni jumped up on the counter, purring.
"Hello honey." Elijah stroked him,"You're not gonna be happy in a few minutes."
Rigatoni tilted his head.
"Mr toaster is on." Elijah hummed,"Now get off the counter before he pops."
Rigatoni climbed into Elijah's arms.
"Aw, just a baby, aren't you?" Elijah hummed.
That's when the toast popped up, causing Rigatoni to run off, scattering.
"I mean.. I told you so." Elijah called after him as he grabbed a plate.
"Why is there a cat running past at thirteen miles per hour?" Reid blinked as he walked through.
"Because Tony doesn't like the toaster." Elijah put his toast on the plate,"And I was hungry."
"Right." Reid nodded.
"..Are you hungry?" Elijah asked slowly.
"I guess I could have something. You eat your toast, I'll find something."
"I can make you something if you want."
"I got it." Reid hummed, kissing his cheek,"Eat."
"I will, I promise." Elijah smiled softly.
"Are you having jam?" He held up a jar.
"I am." Elijah hummed.
Reid handed it over while he looked in the fridge.
"What are you gonna have?" Elijah asked.
"I think..A couple of muffins."
"That sounds nice." Elijah hummed as he spread the jam on his toast.
"Do we need anything from the store later?"
"Strawberries- Oh, and milk. We're nearly out." Elijah nodded.
"You need to stop drinking so much coffee." Reid sighed.
"I can't help it, I need it."
"It makes you jittery."
"But my brain needs the fast juice." Elijah pointed.
"Fast juice." He laughed.
"That's what it is."
"It doesn't make me fast." He pointed.
"Your brain works fast enough without it, my brain never works fast enough." Elijah crossed his arms.
Reid hummed,"It gets slow sometimes."
"It doesn't even make me less tired." Elijah sighed.
"You know you should try those melatonin gummies some time." Reid turned to him.
"..I should."
"Eventually. Don't take them all at once anyway."
"I wasn't planning on it." Elijah shook his head.
"Don't worry. You'd be okay." Reid assured him.
"I know I would." Elijah took his hand,"I trust you."
"Im glad."
Elijah kissed Reid's hand before gently swinging it from side to side.
"Now, finish your food, hm?"
"I will." Elijah smiled.
