"You have... except Mother. Who will make Tartaros seem like paradise if Father can't calm her down..."
He buried his face into Jason's shoulder, still trembling. He wasn't sure now if it was still anger, or something else. Maybe it was not having eaten much at dinner... he was making that a bad habit. Resolving to invade the kitchen when his mother was asleep, he moved over to the bed and sat down, holding his head in his hands. Everything in front of him went out of focus and he blinked, surprised to see a tear hit the floor. Maybe his mother's disapproval had hit him harder than he thought.

Jason sat down beside Zeph and pressed against him, holding him close; seeing the tear fall and hit the floor, he muffled a groan of frustration in Zeph's shirt.
"Scheisse, Zeph... now you're crying... and it's my fault..." Jason's eyes burned with tears as well, and he turned his head away in shame while keeping his arms around Zeph for comfort's sake. "I'm sorry... I'm making everything worse. First I freak out and kick you in the sea, and now your mother's angry, and..." He fought to keep from sobbing as tears started to run down his face.

Zephyros blinked and forced the tears from his eyes, turning to hold Jason comfortingly. He put his hand on Jason's cheek and turned his head to look at him. "Shhh. You cannot blame yourself for my mother's stupidity. And I pulled you under, remember? No warning, you didn't even know I was there or that the water was safe. You were perfectly right to panic. You did nothing wrong."
He wiped Jason's tears from his eyes and kissed him, putting his forehead lightly on Jason's. He kissed him again, running his thumbs lightly down Jason's face as Jason had done for him once, following the trace of his tears. Carefully, he pulled Jason's head to his shoulder and rubbed his back gently, his cheek on Jason's brown hair. "It's okay Jason... my mother is always like this... don't blame yourself."
He rubbed his cheek on his hair, kissing the top of his head. Playing with his hair lightly, he continued trying to ease his boyfriend’s heart. “You did not make me cry. Frustration at my mother… I just want her to support me once… just once. She is angry enough that I am practicing my magic, not just getting it bound or something. She thinks magic is evil, that… oh, all those stupid lies that the Catholic Church teaches its followers.”

Jason sniffled, hiccupping a little as he tried to stop crying. "She doesn't know what I am, does she?"

"...No," he said softly. "I wanted to hit her with that one later. I was worried it would be too much too fast. Now I just want to hit her. Hard. Very, very hard."
He kissed Jason again, smiling as he shoved his anger at his mother aside. "I never thought I would be the one doing the comforting," he chuckled softly. "You obviously taught me well."

Jason smiled and cuddled close to Zeph as the last few straggling tears dried on his face. "I'd hoped I would. Nice to see my efforts paying off." He lifted his eyes to Zeph's face, showing him that he was feeling better already by just being able to be with Zeph and his comfort in the privacy of his room. He leaned his head on Zeph's shoulder, taking his hand. "We'll get through this. Together."

Zeph nodded, putting his head against Jason's. "I have a headache now too. Keeping back tears is just as bad as crying, apparently. Let's go raid the kitchen. I at least am starving now that I'm not so angry any more."
He squeezed Jason's hand a little, nuzzling his cheek against Jason's hair. "Together. Just like we've gotten through everything else."

Jason nodded, kissing Zeph softly, lovingly. He pulled slowly away and stood up, still holding Zeph's hand. "Shall we, then?"

Zeph stood as well, pulling Jason close again. "Yes. And if mother tries to stop us... well... I would never physically harm her, but I'm more skilled at words than she is."
He kissed Jason back and then led him back to the kitchen. The staff was still cleaning, and Zeph asked softly for something. The chef nodded, taking him and Jason to a small table in the corner and setting some warmed remains of the dinner that had been ruined in front of Zeph. He looked at Jason and Zeph smiled, "He wants to know if you want anything. He doesn't speak English."

Jason smiled as he answered Zeph. "I'll have the same thing you're having."

"No you won't. It's stuffed with cheese," Zeph pointed out. "Besides, you ate fairly well at dinner until my mother started... anyway, there was a fruit pie I noticed, and the chef would have a dairy-free version of that. How does that sound?"
He bit his lip, not wanting to eat in front of Jason and starving nonetheless.

"That sounds delicious," Jason nodded in agreement. His mouth was starting to water even as he looked at what Zeph had on his plate--cheese and all.

Zeph told the chef, waiting to eat until the small pie was in front of Jason. He ate quickly, burning his mouth on the near liquid melted cheese in the center and panting, waving his hand in front of his mouth quickly. Grabbing a glass of water, he gulped at it, flushing.
"Even hungrier than I thought I was..."

Jason laughed as he lifted a forkful of pie to his mouth. "One advantage of not being able to eat cheese--you don't burn your mouth on it when it's melted," he grinned.
He put the pie into his mouth and promptly burned his own tongue on the hot fruit. He yelped and fanned his mouth as Zeph had, grinning sheepishly once he was able to swallow without searing his throat. "Guess I shouldn't talk, huh?"

Zephyros laughed, shaking his head. "Have to say it serves you right."
He blew carefully on his next bite, not wanting a repeat of what had just happened. "Well, this means no goodnight kiss. Unless you think washing my mouth out really well would be enough... and I think I'd rather not risk it."

Jason nodded in understanding. "Yeah, you're probably right. I'm perfectly okay with cuddles, though," he added with a grin. He blew on another bite of pie before popping it into his mouth, smiling as he savored the flavors.
"Mmmm..." He swallowed and licked his lips. "My compliments to your chef."

Zeph waved at the chef and yelled something, getting a grin in reply. "He says thank you. And I was planning on at least cuddling. My parents can deal with me being in the wrong room tonight."
He finished eating, picking at the last few bits that sat on his plate. Forcing himself to eat them, knowing he was going to be glad for it later, he finally pushed the empty plate aside and watched Jason eat his pie. "I don't think I've ever seen you eat so much. Maybe you are going to go through a growth spurt too?" he suggested teasingly.

"Maybe," Jason answered with a shrug. "I kind of hope so. I like being able to look you straight in the eye without having to look up," he grinned, and took another bite of his pie. "Then again, my stilettos would give me a few more inches, if I had them here to wear."

Zeph grinned back, "Then I guess I'm glad you don't have them. I like looking you in the eye too."
He put his head on a fist, leaning his elbow on the table. Apparently Jason was really hungry... he really couldn't remember seeing Jason eat so much.

Jason did his best not to eat his pie too quickly, wanting to savor it for as long as possible. He regarded Zeph quietly, asking between bites, "So what's on your mind as far as plans for tomorrow go? Are we doing anything special?"

Zeph shook his head, his hair falling in his face again. He cursed, raking it back again. "I'm thinking I want a haircut. But really, I just wanted to see what you wanted to do. We have an entire island to do as we will, or we could go to the mainland and find things... Whatever sounds good to you."
His eyes drifted closed slowly. It had been a long day. He'd gotten up early to pick up Jason and then the trouble with his mother... And all the angst that had caused... he pinched the bridge of his nose with his free hand, his head still resting against a loose fist. His head hurt.

"I'd like to go and see more of the island," Jason answered, then added, "If you're feeling better by tomorrow. You look tired... and like you have a headache. Do you need anything?"

"Sleep," Zeph answered succinctly, grinning at Jason. He let his eyes close again, his head leaning forward a little. Starting, he pulled his head up and smiled again. "Blame Dawn. Once you're done... I think I at least need to go to bed."
He rubbed his eyes and stifled a yawn. "Tomorrow I'll show you around better. It's a nice sized island, plenty of places we can avoid the parents."

"It looked beautiful even from the plane," Jason smiled. "But actually being here is even better." He finished off the rest of his pie quickly, standing up and picking up his dishes. "Where should I put these?"

"Leave them. We'd get in the way if we tried to put them somewhere else," Zeph said, standing. "I do this all the time, the chef finally told me to leave them or else."
He took the plate from Jason's hands and put it onto of his. Giving Jason a quick hug, he took his hand. "Come on, I hear the trouble that means Mother is coming. If I'm asleep when she finds us, she'll leave us alone for the night."
