You already know how it goes. Valentino is sitting on his IKEA sofa. You get it by now.
This time he's reading a newspaper and drinking coffee. Greed was on his phone on the other end of the sofa, scrolling through his phone. After he had woken up with a blanket on him and a sleeping Val on the other side of the bed, he was awkwardly quiet around him. He couldn't understand why Val was suddenly being so nice to him. The air felt so heavy in the room to him, but Val leisurely turned the pages of his newspaper. God this has to stop—
At that moment, the front door clicks open. Valentino looks up from his newspaper and glances at the door. The rat entered and he was... accompanied by someone else.
"Oh, you two are here! Lemme introduce you," the rat starts, taking his shoes off. There's a distant "You can come in, they don't bite. Well. At least I don't think they do."
The rat skitters—
The rat walks into the common room, behind him a taller man follows. He looked a bit nervous. Greed was honestly so blessed that the awkward air was destroyed. "Who's this handsome man you're bringing home~?" Greed cooed, winking at the other man. The other man shifted uncomfortably at the wink. The rat completely ignored the blatant flirting and pushed the man forward. "Greed, this is Lawrence. Lawrence, this is Greed."
Greed waved at Lawrence with his fingers. "A pleasure~"
Lawrence furrowed his eyebrows and nodded as a greeting.
"And that other guy with the newspaper is Val. He's real nice, just don't piss him off. These two have a similar relationship to ours, padre—"
The rat was interrupted with Valentino's laughter. "It isn't like that at all~" Valentino smiled, sending death glares at the rodent. He then turned to Lawrence all malice from his eyes vanishing. "A pleasure," he said, putting his hand out for a handshake. Lawrence took his hand and shook it.
"He's real professional like that," the rat whispers loudly to Lawrence. Lawrence seems really intimidated.
"I apologize for... that boy's behavior," Valentino chuckles, tilting his head towards Greed. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean daddy—"
"I told you not to call me that."
"They're bickering again, I'll show you my room, it's in the basement," the rat giggles. He takes Lawrence's hand and pulls him towards the basement.
A faint "Wait, the basement-" can be heard as Lawrence gets dragged away by the large rodent.

Valentino turns to Greed and sighs.
"Why are you the way that you are? Why do I put up with you honestly?" Valentino groans, facepalming. Greed smirks in response. "Because you love me, daddy~"
"Do you want to go into the basement with them?"
"Aha, nope, I was just kidding—"
At least things were back to normal again.
