♤ Love Is In ♤ {18+}

[KoBu]

Everett whipped his head around, " Do not dis my sgettiOs!" He pouted, tossing more into the cart, getting several different ones. Some plain, some with meatballs, and aplhapbet ones cuz why the fuck not. " And the day I care about what others think of my eating habits, is the day I run around the city in a frilly dress, prancing around like a fruit loop."

[0rochi]

Darren chuckled. "You're so cute, you know that?" He pat Everett's head. "You're my little fruit loop, dear." He laughed. They counted at least 1000 cans. They were at the cash register for an hour. Packing it all into the car, they drove and heard the rattling cans on the way. "I swear, I'd only do this for you." He shook his head laughing.

Arriving at home, Jeeves helped with bringing in all the groceries aka Spaghetti Os. "Thanks Jeeves." Darren said, smiling and then seeing that Jeeves and Samantha had dinner started. "What do you think Everett, do you want your spaghetti Os for supper or what we're eating?" He chuckled.

[KoBu]

Everett sat happily in the car holding spaghettiOs without a care in the world, despite the cashier giving him the dirtiest of looks.

 

When arriving home and the cans all put away, Everett simple stated, "Well it'd be rude to turn down dinner that they already made... I'll have these as a snack later..." He helped bring out the dishes and drinks, drilling everyone else in first, then sitting down beside Darren.

Quickly eating, Everett washed all the dishes, put them away, the sleepy servant boy trudged himself upstairs, and fell onto the bed, curling on the bed like a cat, blocking out the rest of the noise, and falling fast asleep without even changing his clothes

[0rochi]

Darren was surprised at how fast Everett ate, so fast that Jeeves scolded him and told him to eat slower. Darren chuckled and was still finishing his food whilst Everett was up washing dishes. By the time he finished his food the other had collapsed upstairs. He put his dishes in the sink and walked upstairs to check on Everett. "Darling, you've overworked yourself. Are you alright?" He asked, looking quite concerned.

[KoBu]

Everett gave a little whine before he lifted his arm up, and mumbled, "Just tired, come cuddle with me" he asked before pulling the TV director down anyway. Adjusting them both till Everett managed to lay nearly ontop of Darren, nestled under his chin snoozing away.

[0rochi]

"Eh? Ahh!" He gasped as he was pulled down by Everett and rolled his eyes. Plain old tired Everett. He cuddled into Everett and kissed his forehead, snuggling in and then slowly falling asleep as well. He realized he hadn't worked on his script the following morning and was in a rush.

[KoBu]

Everett awake to an empty bed, feeling cold. He looked around and called for the other. When he received no response, Everett wrapped the blankets around him and looked through the house for his boyfriend. "Darren?"

[0rochi]

Darren was in the study, looking absolutely exhausted, dark circles quite evident under his eyes. He and been working since 5 in the morning on the script. When he heard sudden noise, he thought it was the servants awaking to make breakfast but then heard Everett calling out to him. He sighed. He knew Everett would tell him off for working too hard but it wasn't his first time having to write an entire script in 3 hours.

When Everett had found him he smiled with the tired look still visible. "Mornin' Evey, why are you up so early?" He asked, trying to look innocent.

[KoBu]

Everett titles his head, then frowned. "You look tired ... Did I keep you up? Is that why your sleepy?" He wrapped the blankets around Darren, giving a clumsy side hug. He looked at the papers. "Is .... Is that a new script.... Did I keep you from working?" His frown deepened.

[0rochi]

"Ah, uhm uhhh.." He blushed as he got a small hug. As Everett noticed the script he shook his head quickly. "No no, I should've had this done yesterday and I was too lazy and then I knew I'd end up waking up early like this." He softly laughed. "It's not like anyone else could work on this for me. It's worth losing sleep for. " He said proudly.

[KoBu]

The younger nuzzled into Darren's cheek. "Your not lying to make me feel better are you?" Everett nipped at Darren's ear. He picked up one of the scripts and scanned over it. "..... Why'd the girl cheat on her boyfriend in this scene?"

[0rochi]

Darren blushed and chuckled. "No of course not, I wouldn't lie to you. I just got lazy and thought I'd end up doing later." He said. "And it adds suspense, keeps people watching to see how her boyfriend will react. " He said, still writing quickly.

[KoBu]

Everett looked further down the script and quipped, "Did you know that a spouse whose cheating on their significant other will often become so paranoid they'll accuse their partner of cheating themselves?" He placed the script back on the desk. He walked away going to take a shower and clean up for the day.

[0rochi]

Darren looked quote confused as to what Everett said, but he found a way to incorporate what he said into the script. By the time he finished he went to have a shower and then rushed to grab his things and head out to the studio, hoping Everett would hurry before he left.

[KoBu]

Everett stood waiting beside the door, to lunch bags packed and ready.

He wriggles around in his seat, he wanted to ask Darren another request, but the other seemed preoccupied. "Darren ..... Can I work at the studio ...?" He asked quietly

[0rochi]

As they began to drive off, he heard Everett ask a question. "Hmm? What do you mean by that?" He asked, wondering why he would want to work even though he could easily buy stuff for him.

[KoBu]

Everett fidgeted "I-i mean I want to work on maybe the sets or move equipment around or maybe just help cook for the staff ..." The younger was blushing heavily. He just didn't want to stand by and watch everybody else.

Everett wanted to feel like he was a part of something. "I just ... Wanna do something when I come with you ..." A finger was pulling at a loose strand on his pants, Everett looking anywhere but Darren.

[0rochi]

Darren smiled and chuckled. "You're more than welcome to if you'd like, it would be a great help to me." He aid as they pulled into the studio parking lot and parked, kissing Everett's cheek before they got out of the car. He headed inside the studio and got everything set up for the new setting, with the help of Everett. "Wonderful! Now Helena and Gustav in the first scene!" He called, as he began to show the script and how the plot would develop.

[KoBu]

Everett smiled brightly, and spent the day helping the staff.

The work was hard and tiring but at the end of the day, Everett felt like he finally did an honest day's work. He had been painting a new set prop, when the newest scene was about to start. Everett paused to watch.

[0rochi]

Of course, Darren appreciated the work since he worked more than anyone else in the building. He watched the first scene unfold as even some of the staff were shocked by what happened. And that's what he wanted.

After the episodes were filmed, everyone was tired and started packing up for the day. "You did a wonderful job, Evey. Want to head home?"

[KoBu]

Everett was moving one of the bigger set props. He was covered in paint, dust and sweat. The collar on his shirt was undone, to help air flow. Everett heard Darren call out to him. "Yes just let me finish putting this away."

With one last grunt, Everett pushed the prop into a closet. He wiped his forehead with a sigh, looking back up at Darren, cheeks flushed, a tired smiled on his face.

[0rochi]

Darren looked quite worried as he walked with Everett to the after leaving the studio. "Everett I know you want to work but I think you're working too hard, are you sure you want to work here? did you want me to pay you?" He asked once they got into the car. "I'll pay you if you want but really I buy everything for you anyways." He shrugged.

[KoBu]

"I don't want payment I just want .... I want to feel like ...I'm at least a part of something, that I'm .... Actually earning my keep ..." Everett had been staring at the ground as he walked a little ahead of Darren. He liked feeling like he was doing something important. Like he belonged there. Not just a body to fill the background.

"I see you and Samantha and Jeeves always so busy working. I come here and everybody is always bustling and moving around.... Everybody around you has their place and their purpose .... A reason for them to be where they are and ... I don't." Everett could feel his throat tightening up. His eyes began to sting a little. He sniffled. "I don't have a place to belong anymore... Where do I fit in that picture Darren?" He looked back to his boyfriend on the verge of tears.

[0rochi]

Darren stopped the car before he was going to leave the parking lot. "Darling, don't cry. You have a big purpose in my life. You're the only thing that keeps me going. You mean the world to me, Evey." He pulled him close, into a deep passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms around the other male, even if it was awkward as they were in the car. Soon he slowly pulled away when his lungs needed air. "I'm so glad you want to work and help out, as long as you want to do it, sweetheart. You can do anything." He smiled.

[KoBu]

A quiver from his lower lip, and Everett was sobbing uncontrollably. Though the position was awkward, Everett clung to Darren. He sobbed so hard he began to hiccup and pant for lack of air in take.

He felt happy. Happier then he's felt in a long time. He took hold of Darren's face, pulling him in for another kiss. Just a quick little chaste kiss. Pulling away Everett rested his forehead against Darren's, " .... I love you ..." he sniffled with a smile, and his eyes puffy and red.
