Lazlo thought about it for a while. He always managed somehow to find a place to live and find work, but lately, with school it became a little harder. He would do two or 3 jobs in the summer, keep a part time job for the school year and somehow make it, but as Edward said it, he wasn't living a healthy lifestyle. Lazlo didn't like the idea of financially depending on Edward. When they talked about it he just said, 'see it as though you're renting a low cost room and that if you need time for payment I won't bother you'. It wasn't as though he didn't like spending time with him, he already spent most of his time at Edward's place now, but it worried him that they took a decision like that because of financial difficulties. Anyway, the school trimester was over and Lazlo could start working several jobs again so money wouldn't be a problem. This was partly why he accepted to move in with Edward.

Everything was already moved to Edward's place now, not that he had many belongings to begin with (easier to move from place to place that way) but it was the first day, Lazlo would stay there …and not go home again. Well it technically was his home now, but it still felt like Edward's place.

His apartment was always clean and everything had its place. It was a lot bigger and nicer than the places Lazlo was used to. It was on a third floor, the only neighbour Lazlo ever saw was the old man living next to them, who was exceptionally nice to him. He would say hi to him every time he saw him, talk about the weather and his garden. Apparently Edward had access to a portion of the garden downstairs but said he, the old man, could use it. He always wants to give them veggies that grow there, as a way to thank him maybe. Edward talks with him a lot as it seems because when Lazlo passed him by that day he gave him a basket as a welcoming gift with fruits in it. He probably knows they're a couple … probably heard them to be exact, they need to be more careful about that.

Lazlo opened the door, Edward was in the kitchen cooking something.

-What are you making?

Edward looked at him briefly, still half asleep

-breakfast

It was early in the morning and they both had the day off. Lazlo was supposed to go job hunting that day but Edward convinced him he should take at least a day off before doing so. ''You don't have to run around anymore''. Even though Lazlo didn't like the idea of depending on Edward, it did feel as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He sat at the kitchen table, looked at Edward. Lazlo did sleep at Edward's place the night before but left early to go take the last bags from his previous apartment. Edward was still asleep when he left, he didn't want to wake him up.

-So….

Lazlo knew they were a couple, for a little time now, but being with him in the morning, staying for the day, was still kind of new. They would see each other every day now.

-so?

-The neighbour gave me this, don't you think it's nice? You told him I was moving in?

-Ah yes I wanted to tell you, he's the landlord here.

-Ah! Okay

-He has trouble finding people to rent, so of course he's happy that I bring people.

-I'm not renting a new place though

-I think he's more lonely than anything else.

Edward sat at the table with Lazlo to eat and looked at the small word attached to the basket and smiled.

-Are you leaving today in the end?

-No I'll stay.

-Do you like it here?

-It's only been five minutes!

-Oh… you're right

They laughed a little, this was still new and a little awkward

-It's the first time I move in with someone.

-Really?

-Yeah, I, I would go see them and vis versa but in the end I never moved in with someone

-Why

-I don't know, it just never happened.

-I think it's usually more natural

-You had boyfriends before?

-you really want to talk about that?

-I'm kind of curious

Edward had two serious boyfriends in the past. The relationships both respectively lasted about a year and the other two. Only one of them moved in with him but it didn't last from that point. They would argue a lot and, the feelings weren't there anymore.

-How do you feel about it?

Edward looked at him for a second. How did he feel about it, He didn't know. He rubbed his arm in a self-reassuring way

-I don't know. I just feel like, I don't understand why it didn't work. I'm just afraid I'm doing something wrong that pushes people away and I don't know what it is.

-Don't think about it too much, it just doesn't work sometimes

Lazlo looked at him with gentle eyes and rubbed his back. Edward smiled perplexed.

-Are you really trying to make me feel better about my exes? That somehow feels wrong

-Well it looked like it bothered you, I don't know? I'm not supposed to?

It did make Edward feel better. He was worried about starting a relationship with Lazlo. He didn't feel like he changed that much since he broke up with his ex and, had insecurities about it. He really wants things to work out with Lazlo. '' I really want to make this work''

-Ha, me too …

Edward looked at Lazlo, he was smiling and looked a bit embarrassed. Did he say that out loud. Edward felt his cheeks get red. He didn't mean to say that out loud. He tried to change the subject.

-Do … do you want to do something today?

-No I think it would be fun to just spend the day together? I kind of want to get to know you better ha ha …

Edward just though how cute, and nice Lazlo is with him. Wondered again how he managed to get someone like that. Lazlo is very different from the person's he's used to date, maybe this was going to work in the end. He really likes him after all.

They went to buy a couple of things, finished they're shopping with lunch and went back home. They bought movies on sale, snacks, even a deck of cards. 'Where like old people now' Lazlo joked about when picking up the deck. Edward told him he would show him how to play poker and other betting games, but in reality he just wanted opportunities to make Lazlo loose bets.

They went back home and watched movies, talked over the bad ones, stop to unpack a couple of boxes and then resume. Edward then asked

-I never heard of your exes before.

-Do you want to? I thought it might be awkward or something

-I told you about mines, so I'm curious about yours

Lazlo had mostly girlfriends in the past, and one boyfriend.

-Just one?

-I had one night stands after the breakup

-Are you bisexual?

-No, not really

-You were experimenting?

-No I've always kind of knew that was gay, but I somehow thought, that I could make it work with a girl if I really wanted to

-Why would you do that?

-I don't know, I'm kind of nervous about it, about coming out to my family, well, my Dad.

-Just your Dad?

-I only have my dad.

-oh …

-My mom died when I was young, and when she was alive, she was quite sick so I never got to know her? There are some fractures in my family, long story short, I only have my Dad whom I close to, and well, I don't want to risk our relationship because of him, or lose him because of this.

-…

-That came out wrong

-No it's okay. I get it.

Edward remembered that Lazlo did mention his mom was sick when they were in camp, which means she died shortly after. It hurt Edward a little to know that he would probably never get to know Lazlo's Dad and that he didn't have a family to go to. Of course he understood Lazlo's dilemma, but it felt as though Lazlo was still ashamed of his sexuality even if he accepted it. He tried to change the subject

-Why did your previous relationship ended?

-Oh, hem, I wasn't comfortable with it.

-How come?

-Well …

Lazlo let out a shy laugh and continued

-I'm not sure if I should tell you that but, in all of my previous relationships, girls and guys, I was on the more dominant side during sex? And I think I'm more comfortable the other way around … Is that weird?

-Really?

-Yes … This is embarrassing.

-No no! It's okay, it's just surprising to me

Lazlo face was red and he looked really embarrassed he tried to add something

-Well, I do like switching sometimes, but if you're not into it I don't mind

-No I do like switching it sometimes too…

Edward though about it for a second and shook his head, not the time to think about these kind of things. They were on the couch. Edward was leaning on Lazlo's shoulder the entire time which created a circumstantial sexual tension between the two of them now, which prompt him to sit up and clear his throat.

-Hem, I'll go make some coffee, do you want some?

-Y …yes that would be nice

Lazlo looked as embarrassed as him. He smiled at him when he left for the kitchen. Lazlo was now alone in the living room, paused the movie. He felt his face was warm. He momentarily though about how Edward would be if they switched it up and felt even more flustered. Edward got back with two cups and saw Lazlo looking on the side with a hand over his mouth. He turned around to look at his lover

-You're thinking about it! Edward said

-What? Lazlo was agitated and nervous

-Stop thinking about it!

Lazlo then put his face in his hands embarrassed and laughing. Edward sat next to him and as a way to reaffirm manliness put his arm around him, trying to be serious.

-What are you doing?

Lazlo was laughing, placed his lips on Edward cheek and didn't insist, Edward then started

-but you know it was kind of like that for me too

-what do you mean?

Lazlo stopped fooling around and listened to him carefully, he was really curious as to know how Edward was with his previous dates, he was hesitant to ask him because of how he seemed still hurt about it.

-I used to be more submissive in my previous relationships. One of them didn't want to switch places at all, so I'm a little glad that you're not like that. That being said, I feel like I never dated someone like you before.

Lazlo though about that for a second. How was he different from the previous ones?

-What do you mean?

-I don't know, you're …nice? I trust you.

It was such a simple thing to say, but it felt like the world to Lazlo at that moment. He leaned in to rest his head on Edward's chest. He just wanted to stay like this. As they watched the movie he fell asleep, when he opened his eyes Edward told him he shouldn't sleep like that and they should go to bed. They cuddled for a while, Lazlo had Edward in his arms and though 'I don't want this to end'

Facebook moments

Edward was with Lazlo today

''He still doesn't get why he keeps losing''

Dave looked at the picture, Lazlo was seen with playing cards in his hands looking puzzled and confused. He looked like he was losing. A piece of furniture was behind him, with glass doors, on the reflection you could clearly see his deck.

PINGPONG : Edward stop cheating! Look at him!

CHIP : I don't understand, is it because of his bad poker face?

PINGPONG : Omg look at the glass door behind him

CHIP : OH!

LAZLO : YOU WHERE CHEATING ALL THIS TIME!?

PINGPONG : Lazlo how did you not even see that yourself

DAVE : Were you guys betting something? Lazlo seems invested

LAZLO : HE MADE ME WATCH 140 KUNG FU MOVIES!

EDWARD : 137*

PINGPONG posted a picture in hiking with the camp kidney crew

Lazlo was seen with a giant centipede in his hands

PINGPONG : The best part of this was Edward screaming like a little girl in the morning

DAVE : You don't even know, we were already awake when we heard them in the tent

CHIP : Lazlo was like ' I never saw them this big before' and Edward panicked and was like 'oh god don't touch that!'

DAVE : But it was so big!

SAMSON : Guys I can't see the picture what are you even talking about …

DAVE : It was sooooo big!

PINGPONG : It doesn't even fit in his hand!

DAVE : It was too big for Edward to handle ;)

EDWARD : Guys, seriously …

DAVE : don't try to hide it Edward we know you didn't get over that kiss!

SAMSON : omg okay it's a centipede…

DAVE : Lazlo's centipede*

Edward posted a video with Lazlo today

There was a video which started with Edward's hand and a cat

-Today my neighbour asked me to take care of his cat until he comes back from hospital in a week. It's nothing serious but more importantly … look at this...

Edward then tried to reach for the cat hidden under the table, it hissed at him and scratched his hand. It drew blood

-OUCH! I swear it was nice when it got here! … Guy's what do I do

A door could be heard opening in the distance, Edward looked away and change the camera angle for a second, a moment later the cat ran to the door like its life depended on it.

-Lazlo be careful its evil!

Edward then followed the cat to the door, Lazlo just picked it up and pet it. The cat looked happy and comfortable it licked his face. Edward froze.

-What's the matter?

Edward then tried to pet it with a trembling hand, it let him. The video ended with the cat rubbing its face on Lazlo's.

PINPONG : AWWWWW

CHIP : That cat knows Edward is jerk

SKIP : And that Lazlo's a nice guy

PINGPONG : Lazlo the pussy magnet

DAVE : I like how Edward AND the cat instinctively knew it was Lazlo at the door

PINPONG : Yeah you guys are always together

DAVE : opposites attract

PINGPONG : When you say it like that it's as though they're going out or something

DAVE : Are they though, Edward enlighten us

EDWARD : Yes definitely, Lazlo my love!

LAZLO : Oh Edward!

PINGPONG : Ewwww

DAVE : hahahahahahha

PINGPONG : By the way Lazlo if you're gay that's totally fine, it's the lovey dovey Edward that's disturbing

LAZLO : Wow thanks, Pingpong and Skip

EDWARD : Yeah …Thanks Pinpong and Chip

CHIP : You're welcome! For what?

SAMSON : Imagine the cat is being territorial with Edward because it thinks it's another cat and he wants to keep Lazlo for himself.

LAZLO : Actually I worked at the fish shop that day, so it was because I was smelling like fish!

PINGPONG : Dave, That's your call

DAVE : I hear you Pingpuns!

PINGPONG : god I hate you

Dave private messaged Edward

DAVE : Hey Edward just wanted to know how you were doing, and also …. ARE YOU going out with Lazlo, I'm sorry I'm just really curious. Because it's true that you're always together.

EDWARD : Hey … well, what do you think

DAVE : That you are? I mean you did leave with him at the reunion

EDWARD : Ah yes definitely, Lazlo lives with me now and we have a typical domestic life

DAVE : Wow I can't tell if you're kidding or not

EDWARD : I make him wear pink aprons and stuff

DAVE : WTF Edward, what the hell, now I have a really strange image of you two in my head AND I still don't know if your serious

EDWARD : Do you want pictures?

DAVE : God NO!

EDWARD : hahahaha
