As Chris thanked him and mentioned his wife he did allow some confusion to come to his expression briefly. He assumed that the male admitted to something, and from what he had read in the note he had simply assumed the male had an affair, not grasping the true reason. Though it wasn't as though the reason truly mattered, and so he didn't ask. That would surely be crossing a line... But he did wonder if the other had wanted to tell her all this time, or if he had been hoping he could keep it hidden forever. Either way, it wasn't his business and so he let the topic leave along with the matters in the note as a whole.<br/><br/>When the male requested for him to continue doing this, only to then talk about money and how it might be a bother he found himself laughing softly, turning away slightly as he rarely found himself laughing with other people his age... It made him just a little uncomfortable, but he had found that he couldn't help it. "You don't need to put so much thought into it. I really don't mind, I can do it for as long as you need, really." He said as he looked to the other happily again. "I don't find it bothersome at all, honestly it's nice to have a reason to come home and cook again aside for just myself. It gets pretty lonely living alone." He stated lightly, hoping to quell some of the male's worry.<br/><br/>"If you want to pay for the food then that's fine, I can give you the receipts at the end of each week? I can do lunch and dinner for you both since I do mine anyway. As for any other payment, let's just count his company as payment enough for the time, okay? It'll be fun for me, pretending to parent just a little." He'd never thought he'd share his home with a child, even for just a few hours. it wasn't like having a proper family, he knew that, and it wasn't like he would be able to happily tell his parents about it or anything as nice as that. He'd already known he'd never be able to do something like that though anyway.<br/><br/>"I guess you can say I just like to meddle..." He replied, which was honestly the truth... He simply couldn't leave the in need alone. "What is your work schedule normally like? Do you work the weekends too?" He asked, realizing that might mean he wouldn't be available weekends anymore... Though honestly, he didn't think that was necessarily a bad thing, he didn't mind. It wasn't like he was actually needed by anyone anyway, he was just...<i>Convenient</i>. And if that changed, then maybe... well, perhaps that was better.
