Jason suddenly remembered how hungry he was, as if his body had taken its cue from Zeph to remind him that he hadn't eaten in hours. Apart from the little bags of salted peanuts and cups of juice he'd had on the plane.
"Starving," he answered with a grin.

Zeph grinned back, slipping past Jason to get back outside the room. "Come on. I made sure there was plenty for you that you wouldn't have to worry about. I'm afraid I'm not going to go totally without milk, but I'll be extra careful. I can't stand supplements and milk is the best way to get calcium so..."
He reached a hand out to Jason's, grinning. "My parents have been going nuts with all the stuff I've been up to."

Jason smiled, slipping his hand into Zeph's as they headed out of the room. "That's really sweet of you. I appreciate it."

"I want you to enjoy your time here... and that would be difficult if you were sick," Zephyros pointed out. He led Jason to the kitchen, which was fairly center to the house. He opened a cupboard and gestured widely. "Anything in here is yours. Though my brothers and I will likely invade it too."

Jason grinned, looking at the assortment of lactose-free food they'd set out for him and trying to decide what to have. There was a LOT of food in there.
"Well, I won't have to worry about going hungry," he laughed. "I really appreciate this. Thank you." He wrapped his arms around Zeph and hugged him, nuzzling his cheek affectionately.

Zeph hugged him, nuzzling him back. "I would like for you to want to come back next year... And I've had nothing else to do for a month. You would be amazing at how boring it gets here..."
He grinned, ruffling Jason's hair. His grin grew as it really hit him that he was almost taller than Jason now.

Jason laughed, meeting Zeph's eyes. "How much more are you going to grow? Soon I'll have to stand on my toes to kiss you," he joked.

"Well... Father is almost six two, Mother is five eight... so I could get pretty tall. Hard to tell, I don't have any older siblings. Unless you count an hour or less as older," he said with a grin. He jerked his head at the cupboard. "I can hear your stomach, Jason. You might want to just grab something."

Jason blushed, turning back to look into the cupboard again as his stomach grumbled audibly in complaint. Finding nothing that immediately appealed to his appetite, Jason glanced over at a bowl of fruit sitting nearby on the counter, choosing a ripe, plump peach and taking a small bite. He kept his eyes quietly, happily focused on Zeph, the excited butterflies in his stomach calming down a little.

Zeph grinned at him, hopping to sit on the counter. He grabbed an apple, which for him was a rather rare treat. "I get a whole cupboard for you and you grab a fruit," he said, his voice a mix of teasing and mock hurt. He ran a hand through his hair, shaking it out a little as he glanced outside. "Mmm... well, dinner is in an hour or so... wanna go for a swim first?"

"Mmm... shouldn't we wait awhile before going swimming, if we're both eating?" Jason asked after he swallowed a mouthful of peach flesh.

"We're having a single piece of fruit AND it's not like we were planning on going very far out, right? The sand doesn't suddenly drop away like in some places here. It very gradually gets deeper the further out you go," Zeph explained. He leaned forward a little, eating his apple rather quickly. "Besides, it's not like you actually get cramps. It's an old wives' tale."

"Well, sometimes those old wives knew what they were talking about," Jason answered with a grin. "But I trust you." He tore another mouthful of flesh from the peach-pit and chewed it slowly, savoring the taste.

Zeph grinned at him, "I hope so. At least, I've never gotten cramps. And I go swimming all the time when I'm home."
He finished his apple quickly and lobbed the core at the trash can. He grinned more, "And it only hits the net!"

Jason swallowed and laughed. "Nice shot." He took another bite of his peach, wanting to finish it quickly, since the thought of a swim was very appealing. He tried to chew as quickly as he could without choking, wolfing down the rest of the peach and tossing the pit into the trash can, where it landed near Zeph's apple core. Licking the juice from his fingers, Jason glanced around the spacious kitchen.
"Where do you keep the sink?" he asked. "I need to wash my hands."

Zeph glanced around and pointed, hopping off the counter. "I'm sure there is more than one... that works though."
He rinsed his hands off quickly and grinned at Jason, leaning against the counter next to the sink. "Since you're still so body-shy, I think we should go get changed really quickly. I'd just strip but you don't like that idea, so... swimming trunks. You DID bring some, right? I told you to..."

"I remembered," Jason assured him as he washed his hands. "They're in one of my bags... I don't remember which. Probably the smaller one," he decided as he dried his hands. "Should I run and change into them now, then?"

Zeph nodded, grinning at him.
"I still think you're funny about that," he teased, standing straight. He raked his fingers through his hair, brushing it out of his face. Maybe it was time for a haircut. He pulled a tendril of his loosely curled hair in front of an eye, looking at it. Shrugging, he shoved it behind an ear and grinned at Jason again.

"Funny about what?" Jason wondered, looking at Zeph in confusion.

"Nudity," Zeph shrugged, heading out of the kitchen and back toward Jason's room... which was also toward his own room. He gestured for Jason to follow, grinning, "People aren't nearly so prudish here. Why are you so self-conscious? You don't have anything you should hide."

Jason smiled, falling into stride beside Zeph. "Cultural norms, I guess. Things are different where I come from. It's colder, for one--not as much of an opportunity to go out in the nude, even in summer."
He turned to look at Zeph, a wry grin on his face. "And do you have any idea how naughty that sounds, you trying to get me naked? People will talk."

Zephyros grinned and kissed him quickly.
"Maybe that was the goal?" he teased, then bolted down the hall, laughing. His toe caught on the tiles and he tumbled, tucking his head into his chest. He rolled quickly to his feet again and kept running, inwardly chuckling at the neat way he'd recovered from that. What was it about Jason that made him clumsy? Or just plain foolish, like that workout that had pretty much brought them together.

Jason gasped and grinned at Zeph's cheeky comeback, then dashed down the hall after him. He jumped a little as Zeph stumbled, then grinned as he rolled and came up on his feet. Jason sped up and came up behind Zeph, hugging him around the middle. "Caught you!"

Zeph snickered, leaning into his hug. "Only because I slipped," he grinned. He turned and hugged Jason back, then wiggled out of his arms. "We need to get changed. I want to go swimming."
He kissed Jason on the cheek and then started walking at a safer pace down the hall. He paused and came back to Jason, wrapping an arm around his waist to walk next to him.

Jason leaned into Zeph's half-hug, walking calmly down the hall beside him and wrapping an arm around him in return. "These few weeks are going to go by way too fast..."
