Next morning, Larry woke up by Ben stroking his side gently. Ben said: “Morning, handsome. I made breakfast baby.”
Larry opened his eyes slowly to see Ben sitting on the bed next to him with a tray with a plate of scrambled eggs, toast and fruit juice. He smiled and said: “Morning, gorgeous.”, and sat up as well. Ben said: “How did you sleep, baby?”
“Great. Very good.” Larry said and took a bite of the toast. Ben said: “That’s because I was next to you.”, and Larry giggled.
Ben then said: “Well, we’ve got half an hour before we go. Do you want me to stop at your place, so you can grab something for school? Materials or anything?” Larry said: “Well, I could put on some fresh clothes and maybe take another shower.”
Ben said: “You don’t need a shower. You smell great.”, and Larry smiled.

During the following week, they started acting like a couple. However, they were still shy around people, especially after Simon came to the staffroom and saw that Larry was there on his own.
He sat next to him and said: “So…I saw everything is going great.” And grinned. Larry said: “Yeah. Just…don’t tell anyone. Please.”
Simon said: “I’m silent.”, and Larry giggled. Simon took his mug and put his feet up. Just like every time he wanted to know some new information. He said: “So, what about you and Mr. Handsome? How is it going?”
Larry smiled and said: “We fell asleep together and then he made me breakfast. He’s so sweet and caring and gentle and…” Simon finished, grinning: “And you’re in love.” Larry looked at him and said: “Yes. I…I think I am.”
Simon took a sip of coffee and said: “So, you’ve already…?” Larry said: “No. No. Not that. Just…laid next to each other. We just cuddled really. I didn’t want to do that yet and he understands that.” Simon smiled again.
