The young boy was altogether oblivious of the pictures resting upon that mantleplace, the ones that so imortalized those happier times they had shared together. He'd forgotten entirely of those pictures, merely accepting his lover's distraction whilst he busied himself with the bird that had so appeared upon their balcony, somehow innately knowing of their return to that city that he had left for so long. That greeting had perhaps been far more enthusaistic then anticipated - between bird and man and yet, now that he was back, Fiducia was all too quick to simply settle on the edge of that fence, watching them as Sterling all too easily leaned into his lover's embrace. There was something altogether comforting about Henry's arms, as if this was exactly where the man belonged. His head turned, nuzzling gently into his lover's neck as the man inquired as to how he was holding up in this walk down memory lane. Those words that left his lover's lips so put into words those very feelings in which Sterling himself hadn't voiced. He nodded, quite understanding exactly what his boyfriend was attempting to express. This was where they belonged. This had been their home, even if it was hardly for a particularly long time. He nestled back into Henry's chest even further, a soft sigh leaving his lips as he too contemplated their inevitable return to that flat in the city.

Softly, he inquired if his lover intended to so sell this place, his bright blue eyes so intently watching the man behind him as he sighed. That question Henry so presented to him was, in truth, one he had hardly hoped for though, slowly, Sterling found his head bobbing ever so slightly. "I mean...I think it'd be nice..." He responded, his voice trailing off. After all, he'd never before asked something so decidedly...expensive of his boyfriend before, often attempting to be as financially independent as possible once he'd so discovered Henry's wealth. He hardly wanted to give the man even a moment to doubt that he was with his lover only for that money. In this, however, he was perhaps willing to at least hint to those desires that had settled within him. The city could always be a nice place for them to escape to. He hardly recieved a response, however, before he stepped away from him, heading back towards the warmth that Sterling too found himself desiring, he was hardly surprised by that falcon that so followed them, the bird settling up in the rafters to simply watch the pair of men.

The sound of Henry's voice as he reached for his phone saw Sterling nod, "God, I've missed their food." He admitted after a moment, a warm simple settled upon his features as he uncerimonously flopped upon that sofa, his bright blue gaze still settled upon his boyfriend as he watched the man call the resturant, speaking with that same woman they'd once visited quite frequently. The sound of that meal was enough to cause his own stomach to grumble in want. Sterling watched as Henry made his way across the room, turning that knob that so caused those flickering flames to flare to life. Gingerly, Sterling reached out to Henry, so coaxing him to join him upon that sofa. Ever since that evening after their first date, he'd found himself yearning for that closeness with the man all the more. It was so easy to fall back into those desires for affection, in fact, he quite longed for it.
