MHA #13 - Saturday Afternoon

[itsananomaly]

It had been a long couple of weeks since Connor had unexpectedly had to head back home to help Phillip and his team but now Cutter had received word that Connor was able to come back today and he couldn't help but pace nervously as he waited for Connor, his portal would be due any moment.

Rex was chirping expectantly as he waited by the door for Connor.

"I know Rex, it won't be too much longer, Connor will be back very soon," Cutter promised.

[for the fiance]

Cutter leaned in close to Connor, not wanting to let go either, "we're going to get through this," he promised, "we'll find out what Phillip's up to and stop him, and then we'll be able to work on that future together that we've talked about,"

"Aye, that is what I keep looking for, what I keep thinking about. It is what kept me going and is what keeps me going now. We will get that future together... you and me... and Rex," he added with a laugh as Rex looked up from where he had curled up on the end of the couch and gave a small 'me too?' sort of chirp.

Cutter grinned at that, "aye and Rex too," he nodded, "it will be absolutely perfect, once we get through this next bit, we can settle down and focus on teaching and getting married and getting to spend the rest of our lives together," he said happily.

Connor smiled as he leaned back against the couch, keeping an arm around Cutter, resting his head on his shoulder as he did. "I thought a lot about that- our future, here, together. Kept me going when it got lonely in the lab and when I started to worry about what was happening with Phillip. Reminded me that as long as I have you, I have everything I need."

Cutter leaned against Connor, content to just sit there and enjoy being with his fiancé, "and you are everything I need," he said, "in the end it will all be worth it, us getting to be together,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor smiled and he closed his eyes, snuggling close to Cutter and sighing contentedly. "I am here for all of it. Can't wait to do it all...with you."

Connor opened his eyes when there was a knock on the door. "starting with the welcome back dinner we have planned."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned at that, "aye," he smiled, "dinner first," he agreed as he reluctantly moved to get up off the couch, "I'll go and get the food for us," he told Connor.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor reluctantly sat back on the couch as Cutter went to get the food, laughing as Rex was quick to crawl into Cutter's place and curl up as if he was asleep. Connor watched Cuter get the food and gently petted Rex's head as he 'slept' there beside him.

Cutter got the food and tipped the delivery driver before heading back to the living room with the pizza and the wings, "and we have the food to celebrate," he smiled as he saw Rex sleeping in his spot, "I think Rex is enjoying himself," he said as he went to put the food down.
