"let's take a walk the weather is beautiful right now" he smiled and stood extending his hand to Shiro.

The elf was really happy when he heard that. He grabbed the other's hand and stood up. Then he followed, sighing happily.

He lead the way out the door "can we head this way today I haven't been in this part of the forest yet, if that's ok with you." he asked politely.

The young elf nodded his head and followed other male. It made him really happy.

He remembered seeing people holding hands when the were in relationships so he wanted to try it. He stopped walking and moved a little closer to Shiro his face was a little red as he reached for his hand and wove his fingers between his without making eye contact. "Is this ok?"

He nodded his head and smiled happily. He then squeezed the other's hand tightly.

He smiled when Shiro squeezed his hand, he stayed close to him as they walked "this is nice..... he said smiling and looking into Shiro's eyes.

"I like it as well..", he muttered, smiling.

He was happy to hear that, the breeze was nice and cool on his face. They ended up reaching an opening area in the trees revealing a large patch of sweet smelling flowers. He walked closer to the flowers "They smell sweet, do you know what kind of flowers these are? I wouldn't mind bringing some of these back with us and planting them near the house, if you don't mind."

"Well.. I am sorry to say that but they are no good... Let's move away", he said and then added. "But those there are good"
He showed the ones much more plain than the previous ones.

He frowned a bit, these flowers weren't as sweet smelling or colorful. "awwww alright let's take some back with us." he got on his knees and dug his fingers into the ground and ripped up a large chunk of the ground with flowers making sure he got the roots with them. He had a smile on his face now "i can't wait to plant these". He looked down and realized he was covered with dirt and frown again.

Shiro couldn't help it and leaned down, kissing the other's cheek.
"You look perfect..", he sighed, smiling and not realising just how embarrassing thing he said.

He blushed at Shiro's comment "Thanks" he looked up at him and smiled "So do you". He stood up and held the flowers in his arms "let's head back, I need to plant these and shower" he laughed.

Nodding his head be led them back. The demon looked so perfect that he couldn't tear his eyes from him.

As they walked he could feel Shiro's eyes on him, he wondered if it was because he was so dirty. When they arrived back at the house he placed the large chunk ground down "why don't you head inside I'll plant these, take a shower then make us something to eat".

"I'll just show you where is the best place to plant it", he said, smiling.
Actually Shiro showed few places to the demon. They were darker spots of the garden since the plant that Alexen picked up didn't like too much sun.

He smiled and nodded and followed Shiro to a shadier area and grabbed a shovel and started digging in different spots. He broke up the large chunk into smaller pieces and planted the flowers. When he was finished he stood up and smiled "there that looks nice"

"It does. They would grow quickly into nice bushes of white, yellow and dark violet flowers", he said, nodding his head.

"I can't wait. Alright let's go inside I need to shower and then I'll make us something to eat" he said looking from the flowers to his dirt covered cloths and skin.

"Sure", said the elf simply and walked into the house.

When they went inside he headed towards bedroom to grabbed a fresh set of clothes and then walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower and closed the door.

At the same time Shiro sat down in his armchair and started reading, making some notes now and then.

In the shower he let the water run down his body for a while thinking of what to make for dinner, before scrubbing himself down to get rid of the dirt. When he was finished he changed into a tight grey t-shirt and faded blue jeans before heading to the living room. "yesterday there was some rabbit meat left over that I didn't use I was thinking I could make some stew."

"Sounds good to me", said Shiro, looking at the demon while pausing his hand halfway through the writing down some informations. "Do you need any help from me?"

"yeah I was hoping you could grab me one onion 3 carrots and 2 potatoes while I start the broth a meat." he said taking out a pot and pan.

Nodding his head he put away a book and his notes and headed to the garden. Soon he was back with everything that the other male wanted.
"Should I prepare them for you?", he asked, washing the vegetables.

"yeah could you cut the potatoes into cubes and slice the carrots and onion." he asked as he started the broth and browned the meat.

"Sure", he said simply and got to it, maybe not being so good as Alexen but efficient enough.

Hey looked back at Shiro and smiled, it was nice to have someone in the kitchen with him. "thanks". He added the meat to the broth and lowered the heat under the pot.

"No problem..", he said, smiling at the demon and then going back to what he was doing. "You looked happy when you were carring the flowers."

When Shiro was done chopping the vegetable he took them and dropped them in the pot and put the lid on "alright we will let this simmer for about a half hour then we can eat" he said with a smile.

"So soon.. That's fascinating", he said with a smile playing on his soft lips.

"I cook the meat and save the juices before putting it in the soup it shortens the amount of time it as to cook in the pot while still keeping the flavor of the rabbit meat, doing it the old fashion way would take a few hours. he said smiling, he wanted to make it faster because he was very hungry after not eating dinner the night before or breakfast.

"Oh.. That's smart", he said, quite impressed actually. "So good to have you cooking for me.. err.. us."

He liked the sound of it "Us". "it's my pleasure" he said smiling at Shiro.

"Hmmm.. If you would keep such a good job I would need to come up with some additional reward", he said with a small smile, shaking his head.

"reward?" he was a bit curious about what this reward would be. "what kind of reward?" he asked with a smile.

"I don't know. I was just thinking that with you hunting and cooking.. you should get something better than only a place to stay", said Shiro, shrugging with a smile still there.

"Being able to be with someone who shows me kindness is enough for me to be happy" he said smiling.

"Good to hear that although if you find something don't hesitate to tell me."
That said he looked around the kitchen and didn't find anything he could help with.
"Is there anything more you need me to do?", he asked, wanting to make sure.
