The piece of paper - the waiver - fluttered from Grey's hand as he pushed his way into Rat's rooms. He looks for the other boy, finds him and comes over. His clothes are dirty, pieces of gravel still sticking to them, something still in his hair. His hands are dirty, but his cheeks are flushed and he kneels before where Rat reads, pressing his cheek to Rat's hand.

When Rat finds a way out, he'll take Grey with him. To the West District or someplace beyond that suits them. It'll be theirs.

Then they'll all go. Anyone who wants out of this trap.

But that search can wait. He's too caught up in the warmth of Grey's eyes.

Likewise, Rat has found a sanctuary. Not in this city, but in Grey's arms.

"Tell me when you want food," he mumbles. Otherwise he won't bother getting up.

It's one that takes as much getting used to as feeling constant hunger or pain. The absence of needs to catalogue was a feeling Rat had taken a long time to understand.

Here, there are even fewer needs as his world shrinks down to the fingers carding through his hair.

It's an optimistic thought, though Rat doesn't know how such a thing would happen. But this here is theirs and so good and gratifying.

It's strange to him, the affection that Grey inspires. Maybe it's because the two of them have an understanding of how harsh the world can be and how much more valuable that makes the sweetness.

"Ever had pancakes?"

He'll see.

Reluctantly, Rat extracts himself from the bed and dresses, heading into the kitchen.

At some point, he'd assembled enough ingredients to make them from scratch. Rat doesn't know how he ended up doing that, but here he is, mixing batter without having to check measurements.

Soon enough, he's pouring batter into a pan.

With a flick of his wrist, Rat flips the pancake back on the raw side. Stirring the batter again, he nods towards the cabinet, silently asking Grey for plates.

Rat thanks him with a light touch to the wrist before sliding the first pancake onto the plate closest to Grey an then pouring more batter out for himself.

"You can put jam on them, or butter. Whatever you like," Rat says, pointing at the fridge.

This is easy, he realizes. Him and Grey. Cooking, reading. It still amazes him.

He knows Grey is waiting and shakes his head, turning out more pancakes. "Go ahead and start."

Rat smiles and flips out the last pancake, boosting up on the counter next to Grey.

"They're best when they're warm."
