yawns, coming right out of the shower with his towel wrapped around his waist "Oh hey! Sorry I didn't know you were out here!" blushes
Good, good! What about you?
Pretty good...was this your intention when you invited me to stay?
What?! No, no way! I didn't know you were going to come over tonight so I just showered like normal! Why would I do that!? Are you mad?
Oh no, no, no...of course not, Kai. I was just asking cause we shared the bed.
Well yeah, I mean it was late and we were both tired so I fell asleep before I could set up the air mattress. Is this weird for you?
It's fine, really...no need to go out of your way because of my weirdness.
Okay, okay! But seriously, if something is bothering you or you want the air mattress, just say something!
Thank you, Kai. I appreciate your concern for me giggles.
Hey, why is your face red!? Are you feeling warm? Do you need me to get you a fan?
No, I'm just chilly...I'll be alright once I get warmed up laughs.
Ooh, you're chilly huh? Alright then let me turn up the heat! puts his hand on DragonflyWhirlwind's shoulder and gives a gentle squeeze
Or maybe I should make some hot cocoa for you? Would you like that?
You don't have to do that, Kai.
I know I don't have to, but I want to! Now come here and sit on the couch while I make you some hot cocoa!
All right...let me grab my robe she exits the bathroom.
While you grab your robe, let me fix up the kitchen for us! I'll make sure everything is nice and cozy!
Alright! So for the hot cocoa, I'll need some milk, chocolate syrup, and some marshmallows! Do we have any of those?
nods as she gets dressed.
Great! I'll get started then. rushes into the kitchen and begins preparing the hot cocoa, humming a happy tune while he works
By the way, Kai, did you make any New Year's Resolutions?
Hmmm, well I didn't really think about it too much since I usually break them anyway, but maybe I'll give it some thought now that you mention it!
Well, mine are pretty general...shrugs and smiles.
Oh really? Like what kind of general resolutions are we talking about here? Don't leave me hanging!
Like trying to make healthy choices more often. Taking time for self-care. Being better at responding to others instead of just initiating conversations.
Wow, those are great resolutions! I definitely need to work on being better at responding to others, I can be a real chatterbox sometimes!
Well, that's why they're called "resolutions", right? We resolve to change something about ourselves.
That's true, we resolve to change something about ourselves. But sometimes it's hard to come up with new resolutions, you know?
Yeah, I hear ya. It's easier to maintain old habits than to break 'em and form new ones.
Well I guess that's why it's good to have a friend like you who can help motivate me to make a change! Thanks for always having my back, Dfly!
Aw, shucks, Kai...smiles warmly. Well, if I can help motivate you in any small way, that's what friends are for, right?
Absolutely! Friends are meant to support and uplift each other. And speaking of uplifting, how about I make you some fluffy pancakes for breakfast tomorrow?
Kai, that sounds wonderful, but I was thinking I'd cook dinner tonight, then we could sleep in tomorrow and make pancakes for breakfast. Sound fair?
Ah, so you want to take control of dinner tonight and then I'll make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow, got it! Sounds like a fair deal to me, Dfly!
