"She never made you hot cocoa or cooked?" Colin's eyes widened in shock. The idea that anyone's mother didn't know how to cook, didn't know all their favourite foods and didn't make them hot cocoa was just...it was so strange. Why wouldn't they? "How did you eat?"
He ran his fingers through Zach's hair some more, letting his eyes close for a little while. "They still shouldn't be rude to you. There's no reason for anyone to be rude to you if you don't do anything to them." He liked how this felt, liked the way that it felt to be this close to Zach.
"Oh." Colin stared at Zach for a moment, a light blush working its way across his cheeks. "I didn't think I should...be a bother." He looked down for a moment before Zach said they could have the books. He crawled onto his lap, smiling brightly before kissing him quickly. "Thank you. Thank you very much. Dennis will be so happy!"
