Darcy stared at Rein hard before he shoved a forkful of breakfast into his mouth. He made a great show of taking a few bites before looking at his mate pointedly again. "I'll eat, today, alright? Just promise me that you'll rest." His voice softened at the last part. The fae was still as annoying as hell, but now he belonged to Darcy. No one could ever say that he didn't take care of what was his.
"And I'll work on grading some paper. A colleague of mine asked for help earlier on a class of fifty." He shrugged. At least it would take care of some of the boredom.

Rein watched intently as Darcy seemed to do just as he asked. He just took a few bites but he did eat some. "I promise I'll rest." It suddenly felt like the least he could do when he felt he wanted to get off his feet. Was it weird to feel bad about not doing his job? Even though Darcy said something about him not working because...well, they were mates now, lovers even but he had come here to work not to be anyones mate. It was just...weird.
"Oh." He straightened up when he heard what Darcy said next. "You're a teacher?" He could faintly recall something mentioned in the add about his occupation but he never really thought into it. "Well, you have a good time there...dear." He tried it out a bit at random. It was kind of strange but he liked it. Not saying anything more he went about eating until he was done.
The moment he finished stuffing his face, in no particular hurry, he stood, towel over his shoulders now, and put the plate in the sink. "I'm going to go rest now, are you sure there's nothing I can do for you now?" He did promise to rest but it seemed he couldn't help asking.

The forkful of food Darcy had shoved into his mouth had just popped right back out again as he gaped at Rein for the "dear" comment. He was no ones dear. Despite this whole mate business, Darcy wasn't under any illusion that Rein felt an anything for him. It was the same for Darcy. Sure, Rein was probably the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen and sure, he'd protect the fae with his life...but he didn't love him. At least...he didn't think so. He also didn't think Rein loved him either and he certainly wasn't expecting it.
"Er, yeah, a professor at the university. I'm on sabbatical at the moment," Darcy replied as he raked his gaze over Rein's body once again. "Just go lay down. I promise I'll come get you if I need anything, alright?"

Rein gave a nod but didn't say anything. What was he suppose to say? "Be sure you do then." That's the only thing that came to mind. He noted he didn't respond too well to the dear comment so he didn't have to act like they were together. They were together now though technically so this was going to be awfully awkward he could tell.
"See you later." He walked off blushing a bit and not moving too fast. He still hurt but he managed to avoid the obvious limp. Well, it was there a bit but he tried really hard not to show it. He managed to reach his room in less then a minute and he quickly flopped on his bed only after he closed the door behind him partially then he bundled up in the blankets. He didn't know if he'd be sleeping but he would lay down here for awhile.
"Stupid Darcy." He was practically a caterpillar in the sheets, only his face showing while he muttered that mans name. Now what was he suppose to do with himself? He probably wouldn't be leaving this job or was he technically fired from that. He suddenly pouted at the thought seriously hoping he was still working here. He needed something to help keep him together in this awkward but very permanent situation.

Darcy kept himself from jumping up and taking the limping Rein into his arms. He could spy a stubborn male when he saw one though and so let the fae alone. He wondered if Rein know that he wasn't actually losing a job but retaining it permanently. This was what the fae would be doing until they both died. They were mates and as such took care of each other.
Snorting to himself, Darcy cleaned up the breakfast plates and put them away to dry. He hobbled into the living room to sit and do the grading that he'd mentioned. He grew relaxed on the couch, methodically flipping through pages.

Rein knew he was tired but it didn't hit him how tired until he was sleeping within seconds. He curled up in the sheets cuddling his face into the pillow on his bed. He had been here for just a little over a day but he was really comfortable. Well, he was semi-comfortable, he really felt like he was missing something this time around.
He had to have slept for a good two hours or nearly so when he found himself nearly scrambling out of bed, still lacking clothes, heading right to the bathroom. It was all so sudden he didn't really realize what was happening until he was heaving over the toilet, barely keeping his hair back. There went his breakfast but that wasn't the first thought to come to mind, actually, he was completely bewildered as to why. He didn't eat anything bad, had he? No the food was just fine, so the moment he sunk back to sit on the cold floor he looked a little ill and very lost. Of course he did wipe his mouth off but he still felt nauseous, perhaps he should stay right here for a bit,

Darcy heard the commotion and looked up from his paperwork. "Rein?" He called worriedly, getting to his feet and hobbling to where he'd heard Rein thud to the carpeted floor. Darcy peered into the bedroom and then into the en suit bathroom to finally see a very sick and tired looking Rein. "Rein, are you alright?" Darcy asked, creaking to kneel down beside the naked fae. He brushed the youth's hair back from his face before going to get a damp cloth.
"You're sick," he confirmed as he wiped Rein's face and mouth with the cool cloth. "Please don't tell me you slept naked?" Darcy cupped Rein's cheek gently, worried etched into his face.

Still recovering from his little episode with the toilet he didn't hear Darcy until he was on top of him. Well, he spoke wiping his face off making him feel very much a bit...helpless. He didn't say anything though, he appreciated it. His words made him frown though. "Sick." The word was foreign to him, he was rarely ever sick but he felt awfully ill so perhaps. There went his breakfast though, whatever was left of it all down the toilet.
"I did..." Rein cast his pale green hues down looking at the floor. He was just as naked as he was earlier. "I don't understand." He couldn't be sick from sleeping naked, could he? "I really don't feel very well though." He looked up at the man he now have to call his mate. "I would really like to get cleaned up could you help me up." He hated to ask but he needed some assistance right now and he was the only person he could ask. As reluctant as he was to admit it he had a feeling he would need to rely on him a bit more than he liked.
