"...Well, I know that wasn't me or Blue so what happened?"

Oh, Sam is very aware of it. But he's not going to argue a chance to cuddle up close with his fiance. At least he's resting.

He didn't mind at all, letting himself fall onto the bed to cuddle with him. "Love you too, Proton."

Fine by Samuel to Proton's bed it was. At least he was sleeping. "...Maybe I should get you a Jigglypuff."

"I doubt it's going to be so easy..."

"...Bloody hell. And I still love this man." He reaches down, picking him up. "Bed..."

"Yes. They...do not get along."

"Rex's older brother."

"Part of this vacation is him and the kids playing nice... Mostly your Uncle...Hemlock..."

"Good. ...There's supposed to be some extra strong Houndoom there I'm sure you'd love to pretend are Archer's and beat up!"

"Well, that's a no. And the only no I'm respecting."

"Alice is already waiting for us in Kalos! You're not getting out of it..."

"I wonder if Gin would like to come. ...Will it be safe with Proton?"

"Vacation coming up. You're not getting out of it."

"Yiu can't work if you're exhausted."

"You don't. Come to bed, luv. You're bloody hallucinating or something."

"She's going to be your stepdaughter... Sure thing, luv." He suddenly paused. "...I think this is a first."

"Then we can attempt. I really want you and Alice to properly meet and Charles keeps scaring her..."

"I convinced Alice and Rex to join. That means Silver, too. So all that's left is if you and Charles can avoid fighti ng each other for a few days. And yes, I'll be holding him responsible to behave, too."

"Which is why I'm offering to help. ...Have to look good if I want all of us to take a family Christmas trip to Kalos."

"Says your healthy living fiance."

"Luv....what kind of work? You need to sleep?"

"Do love your cooking, luv~."

"We'll see but it will be nicd."

"Hopefully he can join us tomorrow~."

"...You both mean so much to me."

"He is. You both are~."

"I love you more than anything~. Um...except Proton. Of course I love you both equally."

Sam smiled back, leaning in to kiss him, softly and tenderly but still full of love.

"I mean it, luv. I fight so hard to help because I can't imagine life without you."

"I'm going to keep taking care of you until my last breath~."

"Perks of being with a king~."

"You deserve to be taken care of."

"I'm the lucky one~. He's right about one thing: I don't deserve you."

Samuel gently set everything aside once he was also done, leaning down to softly kiss Blue. "I'm happy see you so happy, luv~."

He gave a soft, happy sigh. This made him very happy. Being able to do this small thing for him.

Samuel smiled, eating from his own plate.

"I was hoping you'd like it, luv."

"Well, I assumed since you didn't specify you wanted the first pasta dish that comes to mind so it's spaghetti with Miltank sausage and squash to make it more balanced."

"I'll be right back, luv." He kissed Blue's forehead before heading downstairs. There was some time to cook it before coming back with a tray with dinner for both of them, carefully sitting back down.

"I'll ger you something from the kitchen, luv. Anything you're craving?"

He smiled, gently squeezing Blue as he laid them down.

"I'm smarter than that, luv...."

"That would only prove him right..."

"I know...you don't see me trying to strangle him."

"I know but putting this stress on you..."

"...Then you need rest. Bloody hell, that kid needs to learn..."

Samuel didn't hesitate, picking him up and heading for bed. "You look like you need to rest, luv."

He chuckled, blushing softly. "It's true... I want to enjoy the time I have with all of you."

"...I am now. Because my focus is on what I have... You, Proton, and my children."
