day seven.

Chase awoke at the early hours around half past six. He had been awoken multiple times in the middle of the night by the noises the kitten would make every time she awoke mid-slumber. On top of that, the night he had spent on the couch made him realize how uncomfortable his couch truly was. It was so hard and unpleasant that it gave him an awful backache in the morning. 

In spite of that, he was preparing breakfast for two stomachs. He had gone out of his way this time, preparing a full-course meal in an attempt to impress his guest. 

Zero had finished taking a shower and made his way into the kitchen just as Chase had completed setting up the plates. He gawked at the sight before him, "Woah. You made all this by yourself?"

"My dad taught me a few recipes back in the day," Chase grinned. 

"Alright, Mr. Ramsay," Zero teased with a playful grin. 

The pair took their seats around the dining table and began feasting on the food before them. 

"Your bed is really comfortable," Zero said out of nowhere. "I've never slept for so long before."

"I'm glad you think so," Chase said with a smile. 

"You look like you didn't sleep at all," Zero commented upon noticing the other male yawn. 

"I didn't, but it's alright," Chase chuckled. 

"No it isn't," Zero said softly. "Am I being a burden to you?"

"No, you're not," Chase said quickly. "I like having you around."

Zero grinned in response.
