The two men genuinely laughing at something as silly as Joseph's messy hair was rather refreshing for the business man. Usually he never laughed at much of anything these days and for but a moment Joseph felt like how he used to be back when he was younger, however it had only lasted for that one moment before it was gone. The CEO wasn't even aware of it himself. Once the remote was back in Joseph's hand and that rather poor interpretation of jazz music was swapped back to the original classical music he'd correct himself before glancing over at Erik and blinking a bit, why was he as red as he was? That was odd. The business man didn't put too much thought into it as he went back to the book "Excellent, then the rest of this should be no problem then" he was still slightly curious as to why his employee looked so guilty. As he went over the lesson with Erik, teaching him more complex sentences as well as what words worked where he glanced over at the other man and stared at him for a moment as he went over it in his head "Just read these to yourself and try to figure out what they're saying" he stated absentmindedly as the CEO slowly began to piece things together in his mind, he'd gotten down on the ground to get the remote and after he got up Erik looked red in the face and a bit guilty. Wait..had Erik been....? However before he could complete the thought a loud ding would sound from the kitchen, distracting Joseph from his train of thought "Ah, dinner is almost done" he commented before walking back out to the kitchen, pausing for a moment before deciding the apron was no longer needed for this part. Joseph would grab two different kinds of cheeses from the refrigerator and placed them on the cutting board. Joseph would pull a knife out and cut thick slices of fresh mozzarella before grabbing an oven mitt once he was done and opened the oven up, pulling the rack with the eggplant lasagna out. He would proceed to place the thick cuts of cheese on top of the dish, covering the entire top of it. But he wasn't done yet, Joseph would then take the block of parmesan cheese and began used a grater to begin grating the cheese over top of the lasagna. Once a thick layer of both cheeses were on top he'd pop it back into the oven for a little while longer before rejoining Erik on the couch. From there Joseph would look at the book and nodded his head "I think this is an excellent spot to end it, for tonight. A lot of good progress has been made" he stated, nodding his head "I'd say that this is a good time to relax a little bit" Joseph would turn the music down and turned the TV on as it seemed the TV was left on a romantic drama that was just starting. Oh brother. These were not really to Joseph's taste but since Erik was a self proclaimed hopeless romantic he supposed this would be alright by him. Joseph would take the Spanish book and place a bookmark in it before to mark for the next lesson "Would you like to continue the lesson tomorrow after work or would you like to save it for another time?" he asked the other man with a curious look on his face. Honestly it didn't matter to Joseph and in fact once everything was said and done Joseph would chuckle a little bit "I must admit, it's nice to actually be home and relaxing for once. Usually I'd still be at the office at this hour cramming to get more work done" the CEO would admit to the blatantly overworking himself which was a stark contrast to how he treated his employees whom were not forced to do anything they didn't want to.

Here we stand or here we fall History won't care at all Make the bed, light the light Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
Erik nodded when his boss confirmed that it would be the same time tomorrow. He was supposed to go out for a friends birthday but he had already cancelled a week ago under the guise of having something come up, at least now he wasn't a liar...entirely. When Joseph laughed at him a bit he grinned and shrugged a shoulder. "I've also seen the Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet," he said with a laugh ",the one with Leonardo DiCaprio that everyone says is terrible, more times than I can count." That was something his friends had always joked with him about, the mass amount of romance movies he has seen to death. He learned how to laugh along after a while. Upon seeing it flick to some slasher film his eye lit up a bit. Erik had always kept his deep love of scary things a secret mainly because to those who knew him it was a double edged sword. He loved horror movies but he was also a huge chicken, extremely jumpy and easily spooked. His college roommate had forced him to watch The Exorcist and he slept with his light on for a week. He didn't immediately recognize the film but it looked good. "I remember when this came out," he said absently ",I wanted to go see it while it was in theaters but no one would go with me."
You don't waste no time at all Don't hear the bell but you answer the call It comes to you as to us all Yeah, we're just waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah

Joseph would listen to the other man speak and thought about his theory for a moment before shaking his head "I don't believe so, remember how in the beginning the Sister was out with her parents at the time of the Brothers murder?" he pointed out before he thought about it himself "I think they'll just go with the classic psychopath, it seems like the movie is banking on the kills rather than an actually interesting plot" he stated his own opinion on what he has seen so far before looking over at Erik and listened to him speak and give a rather surprisingly insightful look into the fear of being buried alive. Joseph nodded his head with the other man "Hmm...that makes sense, the sense of utter despair at the situation...it makes for a horrifying kill without actually being gory in any way" he stated with a thoughtful look on his face before glancing over at Erik with a small smile on his face before nodding his head "You certainly have good insight into these types of movies" he complimented as Joseph fully turned his attention onto Erik. Just like his earlier theory suggested it seemed like the movie was banking on shocking and interesting kills to cover up the rather dull and uninteresting story that was going on with each of the characters talking. Thankfully the buzzer going off on his timer alerted him that the food was done which was more than enough to pull Joseph away from the movie. With that he'd grab his oven mitts and pulled the eggplant lasagna out before setting it on the counter with the cheese bubbling on top. It looked very good in his opinion "Well come and get it" he spoke to Erik before pulling out two plates and a metal spatula and cut into the food and brought out a nicely sized piece for Erik before then pulling out another slice for Joseph. He would then open up his fridge and grabbed two cans of flavored seltzer water "I hope these are OK?" he stated before placing the one can next to Erik's plate before then grabbing two forks for each of the men. After sitting back down on the couch he was sufficiently bored of this film already and Joseph would change the channel to a...rom com of some sorts? Brilliant. Joseph would simply dig into the eggplant lasagna and nodded his head to himself, he thought he did rather well "Is it alright?" he would ask the other man with a curious look on his face.

Erik smiled a bit sheepishly when Joseph made a comment about his admittedly horrid eating habits. "I pretty much live off of Ramen, Red Bull and coffee," he said with a shrug ",occasionally Red Bull in coffee but only when I haven't slept for a few days." He could count on one hand the number of times he'd actually done that. It was a terrible idea he always tended to get when he was sleep deprived. The concoction tasted awful but it had enough caffeine in it that it was a miracle his heart didn't stop. He glanced back up as Joseph when he asked about his other interests. "I used to play the drums," he answered ",still do on occasion. I write, nothing actually worth reading but I enjoy it. I am grossly fascinated with serial killer documentaries and things of the sort." He shrugged as he took another bite of his food. He spent most of his time not working sitting on his couch in dirty sweat pants watching conspiracy videos on YouTube but he couldn't tell his boss that. "So what about you," he asked ",when you aren't at work or teaching helpless people Spanish what do you do for fun?"
