The evening passes in quiet, calm routine. They cook well together by now, no compare to the confusion that had ensued on their first shared attempts in the kitchen. There is almost no communication needed as they hand each other ingredients with practiced movements. When all is cut up and only final touches are needed anymore, Teru sends Light out of the kitchen so he can check the news without needing to rush the evening. He takes his time setting the table neatly.
They chat as they eat, and sometimes minutes pass until Teru remembers to take his next bite because he is enraptured with what Light is saying and with the prospect of having fully regained a regular life with him.
Teru offers to put away the dishes by himself to give Light a head-start on homework, then he sits down next to him with his own assigned reading. It's only when he's on his last few pages, taking his last lines of notes that their promise from earlier in the day comes to the forefront of his mind again. Anticipation suddenly makes it very hard to focus. ]
