12: Honeymoon

When I woke up, I was alone in bed. I'm a bit sad about that... But then I think I smell breakfast...
When I head downstairs, I see Inaho in front of the stove, and he's humming a song.
"Good morning," he states, turning to see me.
"G'mornin," I acknowledge. I head over to the coffee machine and start it up. "I didn't know you could cook."
"I can, and eggs are my favorite," Inaho explains.
"Good to know," I say. My eyes become transfixed on the coffee pot filling up.
We're in silence for a bit.
"How do you like your eggs?" He asks.
"Over hard."
"That's one I don't hear often."
The coffee pot makes a ding.
"How do you like your coffee?"
"Some cream, no sugar."
As I walk towards the fridge, I pose a question.
"Isn't that bitter?"
"Kind of. I think it's good, though."
"To each their own,"
I grab the cream from the fridge and head back to the pot. First, the cream, and whip it. Next comes the coffee, and finally the sugar. I like to add a dash of cold caramel, gives it a sweet taste.
I prepare the next cup for Inaho and sit down at the breakfast nook.
He calls to me,
"Hey, could you show me where the plates are?"

Sitting at the table, we start to eat our breakfast. Inaho takes a long sip of his coffee and looks at me. His face is almost emotionless.
"I really like you, Slaine."
I'm quiet for a second.
"I really like you, Inaho."
"We should do something special today."
"Like...?" I ask, then sip my coffee.
"We could go to the orchestra tonight. At the Aldnoah Theatre?"
"You're a fan of classical?"
"To an extent. You bought a violin, so I assumed you were."
"You'd be right."
He smiles, and sat back in his chair.
"Maybe we're just opposites."
I wonder if that's a good or bad thing.
"Is there something you'd find more fun?"
He thinks for a moment.
"Christmas is coming up soon."
"It's mid November..." I say.
"Alright. Maybe a trip to the bookstore would do you better?"
"I'm fine with that," I smile.
"Then we'll head there... After another cup of coffee," he jokes.
I can't help but smile. I really do think I'm in love.
