Leo blinked.

"Oh. A-alright," he said and set the books on the floor. It was mainly so that he'd remember where they were. That and the next time he'd come here, he'd probably be heavily pregnant. Then again.....He changed his mind and placed the books on a shelf that 1) isn't that high and 2) isn't too low.

As if on cue, Leo's belly grumbled once finished and so he hurried downstairs, hoping that Brayden would just follow this time.

He quickly sat at the table and, not seeing any drinks but seeing glasses to hold the drinks, he waited for Brayden to catch up. While Leo waited, he took a deep breath to smell the food and let it out with a long, hungry sigh.

Leo's question startled Leo, causing him to blink and look to the fridge--the general location where Brayden's voice was coming from. SOmehow Brayden arrived without making any sound. Should probably get used to it. Besides, Leo will probably be doing the same thing eventually.

"Uh, steaksauce," Leo said with a blush. "As for the beverage, a non-alcoholic beverage would be nice seeing as I'm pregnant you know. Don't want to harm the babies."

Leo then smiled as he looked around, finally noticing the table setup causing him to blush a bit more.

"The food smells really, really good," he said. "And I like the table setup. Very romantic."

'Maybe he's starting to get used to me replacing his late girlfriend,' Leo thought to himself. It was definitely a long shot, but at least Brayden didn't treat Leo like he was just some pawn in one big game of chess or something like that. At least, that's what it feels like now coming from his family.
