[ judging by caleb's tone, he doesn't think he believes him at all.
hence, he's quick to purse his lips. while he would have put on a bigger spectacle of his mild displeasure, it seems caleb settles his mood in just a few gestures. he feels the man's hands over his and he settles himself upright with his help. the mention of the "groceries" also gets him to perk up. ]
I think the last person who dared to open the fridge door was Thomas. [ he's kidding, it's not that bad in there. ] If there is a second adventurer I trust to reorganize the fridge, it's you. [ he says while giving caleb's hand a firm squeeze. ]
If you're ready for the surprise, doesn't that actually mean you're not ready at all? Shouldn't I try to make it a little more unexpected for you? [ throw mister colonel off his game and all. ]
Putting me to work already? [ as soon as rafayel is up off the couch, caleb pulls him towards the kitchen. ] I remember agreeing to cook you dinner, but I'm preeetty sure I never said that I would reorganize your fridge too.
[ do you take him for a sucker, raf? the answer is ye bc lbr he's going to end up reorganizing his fridge we all know this already ]
Fine, fine. [ he sets the grocery bags on top of a counter, before reclining back against its edge, their fingers still intertwined. ] If you really want to make it more unexpected for me, then I can wait. [ he should get a head start on cooking and besides, he apparently has an additional task now. ]
I should get rewarded for my patience though, shouldn't I?
[ yes, he 100% does take caleb as the kind of sucker who would clean and reorganize his fridge... just like how he knows thomas will inevitably fold when he finds out tomorrow that the art piece for the exhibition still hasn't been completed yet.
but, who says he can't find inspiration between then and now. much like who says he can't provide caleb with the right amount of motivation. there's a small hum as rafayel pretends to consider his words. ] Odd, I thought I heard the fridge cleaner talking to me for a second.
[ not him calling him fridge cleaner... ]
A surprise and a reward? Man, and I thought the beta fish we picked up the other day was greediest fish I knew. [ but, despite this he does give his fingers a light squeeze as he comes in closer. just enough to place a small kiss on the side of his jaw. so light in fact that it's probably easy enough to miss. ]
