Ahh, would he ever get tired of seeing those sweet, shy reactions of his? No, he didn't think he ever would. Love warmed his smile and crinkled his eyes a tad at the corners as he took another bite of his sandwich, contenting himself with listening to his boyfriend and his mother talk. "Ahh, I see," Joanna replied thoughtfully, mulling over his response as she took another bite, chewing slowly to let herself think more. After swallowing she went on, "That's very understandable then, and sadly it's not the same way many places here, though I think it also depends on the type of people you talk to. Some people accept it but others don't. Maybe someday it'll be a more normal part of life - something that's no longer a consideration - but it is for now, especially for Abel's father," she finished ruefully. "He takes quite a while to warm up to things. It's best to expose him to just one at a time too, which is why I haven't told him about you two finding a new apartment together just yet. You don't want to overload him or anything," Joanna added, chuckling a little as she picked up her mug of coffee to take a sip.
Footsteps thunked up the porch stairs then, and Joanna hummed thoughtfully into her mug. "Sounds like your brother, Abel," she noted as she set the cup back down again and lifted her sandwich once more. "I guess Taavi and your father are still busy outside."
Indeed a scant two moments passed before a young man opened the kitchen door, bringing with him a warm breeze that smelled of flowers, fresh grass and hay before he shut it behind him. He was similar to Abel but different; a little shorter, a little wider, his hair a little longer, and as he turned away from the door and faced them, the expression on his face was a little surprised. "Oh, hey," he said, his voice a little deeper than his brother's.
"Hey man," Abel replied readily, a grin spreading easily across his face as he abandoned his sandwich and coffee for the moment in favor of standing and walking around the table to meet his brother partway for a hug. With that done he left an arm slung over the shorter man's shoulders and gestured to his boyfriend with his free hand, "Aaron, my boyfriend Zevran. Zev, my little brother Aaron."
Surprise faded from his expression, instead replaced by faint tinges of uncertainty as he regarded the stranger. "Oh, uh," he began eloquently, adding a moment or two later, "nice to meet you."

Zevran gave a slightly dark chuckle and nodded. "So I have discovered. Well, he can take his time! I am not in a rush to go anywhere." This last was directed at Abel with a warm crooked smile. "I can put up with Abel for a while at least," he said fondly.
The sound of footsteps made Zevran perk up attentively, and tense up internally. Ah, s**t. Was this it then?
Apparently not.
As Aaron entered Zevran gave him a crooked friendly smile, though it was paired with a rather searching look. "Ahh, Aaron," he gave a casual mock salute, "I am glad to meet you as well, you are just in time! I have half a sandwich here I could part with, on the understanding another is coming."

Zevran earned himself a fond smirky smile for his trouble. Not for the first time, Abel was glad he could bring his boyfriend along with him.
But Aaron was there now, blinking uncertainly at the unfamiliar man in their house. "Uh," he replied just as eloquently as before, his eyebrows furrowing a bit as he replied with more of a question than an actual answer, "that's okay?"
"Don't you worry about him dear, Aaron can make his own sandwich for lunch," Joanna assured him before eating another small bite of hers. "You go on and finish your sandwich."
Abel gave his brother's shoulder a pat as he chuckled and returned to his seat, though as he passed by Zev he reached a hand out to gently tweak his boyfriend's ear. Aaron, on the other hand, relaxed a fraction and turned to begin making his own sandwich with an amiable, "yeah."

"Oh, uh," Aaron said in his usual eloquent manner as he paused in the act of cutting a few more slices of ham to make his sandwich with, peering thoughtfully over at the kitchen door as if it'd give him the answer to Zevran's question. "It's fine now, we managed to fix it with Taavi's help. They're just cleaning up now, I think; should be in in a few minutes probably."
Ah, that was how he wanted to play, was it? Aiming a playful smirk at his boyfriend, Abel's hand darted forward to tweak his other ear, the one closest to him this time. There were so many ways he could respond, but alas, he couldn't really say all of them. Oh well. "Trying to get rid of me so soon, are you?" He teased, but then his smile softened. "Oh I probably would, yeah. You know I'd do anything for you."
"Gross," Aaron interjected brightly, his faintly amused voice not so dissimilar to Abel's own teasing tones.
"Dude," the taller blond countered, eyebrows lifting as he stared - or attempted to - at his brother with the best shocked expression he could manage despite the grin that tried to push its way onto his face. "I know you didn't just call Mom's ham gross."
Joanna gasped as long and as loud as she could in an attempt to sound as deeply offended as she possibly could. "Shame on you, Aaron!" She chastised her younger son, though her mock-angry voice was quite at odds with the bright, amused grin on her face.

"Oh, I'm sure I will!" She replied brightly, though her gaze remained keen and curious, almost searching. Not that that stopped the amused grin or the chuckle at his words. "We'll have loads of fun, I'm sure, and of course! We only tease because we care -- right Aaron?"
The named gave a huff as he put his assembled sandwich in the press, though he couldn't help the amused smile on his face, and Abel smirked over at his boyfriend as he returned the gentle nudge. As Joanna the last bite of her sandwich, more footsteps sounded on the porch. Unlike when Aaron came in with one set, this time there were several; a heavier set, a lighter set, and a handful of faster, almost scrabbling sets. The latter sets became clear as the door opened and a Flareon and Jolteon with coat patterns similar to Isaac's darted inside ahead of Abel's father. "Hey guys," Abel said with a grin to the pair of eeveelutions as they darted over to say hello first to him and then to Zevran, their eyes bright and eager as they practically danced in place. He'd greet his father and introduce him in just a minute, once he wouldn't trip over excited Pokémon.
"Hello dear," Joanna said without turning around as she wiped her fingers off on a napkin, then stood up from the table. "I'll bet you and Taavi are hungry after all that work, I can make you some sandwiches if you'd like."
"Oh sure, thank you," the taller man replied as he promptly turned to wash his hands off in the kitchen sink.
