Orion’s lips pressed together, and his brows furrowed some. The thought of dragging Nik that far down just for a house was uncomfortable at best. “Mmmm…” Punching in numbers on his phone again, he considered this again. It… still seemed like too much, but at the same time work was stable (as stable as one would have it considering, heh) and—
A notification flicked on Orion’s phone, and he paused a moment to stare at it. Oh is that— Yellow eyes flicked back to Nik, and Orion set his phone face down on the arm of the couch. That is… an option isn’t it? Lips pressed together, and his eyebrows furrowed some considering it more. No, that would definitely work in reducing the cost… Orion pressed a couple fingers to his temple.
“I…” Orion stopped and started again. “Ok….” Ok what? Ok brain hurry up. “Let’s… try and make an offer for a little less than the asking price…” he finally decided aloud looking back to Nik. “Or I guess… we’ll probably have to talk to a bank first and see about a loan and…” His lips quirked a bit. “Hope it stays on the market just a little longer, heh.”

"Yeah??" Nik.. didn't know why he was so surprised that Orion agreed but.. Or maybe he was just excited? "I mean. Yeah! Yeah we can still try to get Marce and/or mom to talk them down, too." He wondered if it might be better to ask them both to take a turn or to work directly together in some manner so long as mom didn't figure out Marceline was involved in apparently shady activity but?? yeah, but that was a question for the morning probably. Right now he was just...
"We can.. totally do this." He couldn't contain a grin. "And-- I.. Honestly the more I think about it the more--" He broke into a slight giggle? "Something that's nice but still has some work we can do together actually.. It sounds fun, doesn't it? Still.. having more goals to look forward to?" Since when did he get excited about work? Ha. Since it involved getting to be excited about future stuff with Orion apparently.
He tried to contain himself a bit longer, but then semi-tackled Orion. "We're doing this~!" A few more light laughs escaped him between a brief shower of light kisses.

Oh no. Oh wow. Oh Nik. The way his eyes lit up had Orion blushing and despite himself, a grin flashed across Orion’s features. “Yeah,” he answered back softer. The giggle had him grinning a bit more. “It would be something we can add a personal touch to,” he emphasized with a grin. Before he could say much more, however, he found himself sideways-tackled. Arms wrapped tight around Nik and Orion tried to meet those kisses, every single one. Ok, ok yeah this was great. This was grand. Resting his forehead against Nik’s, Orion grinned. “We’ll have Christmas at our house,” he whispered loudly. Ahhhhh that sounded great.

"GOOD." That was... so good? "We'll--" probably not have enough money for a lot of presents huh? "We'll have a nice dinner. And decorate." A mischievous grin spread across his face. "We'll.. go get revenge on the woods again by chopping down our own tree." A deep chuckle followed.
He slowly relaxed and sort of melted against Orion for a bit as he thought about it more. "..I guess if we can haggle the price low enough, we could hold back a bit of cushion out of our own savings, huh? Then we could afford a nicer Christmas and not have to worry about house payments for at least a few months." Would take some of the pressure off finding a job right away and let him look around for something that really suited him, huh? Or... heh, maybe Marceline would give him a job if Orion asked? Might even help him with his whole intel thing for Dasha, huh? Heh. He'd save that to ask if he couldn't find something else, though. For now...
"I'll call mom first thing in the morning though. This is... gonna be so nice."

FUCK CHOPPING DOWN THE TREE. A sharp wild laugh broke from Orion. “GOOD,” was all he’d get back in. A tree, a Christmas tree surely but any tree… Ahhhhhh. Decorating a tree and maybe even making some ornaments and— Orion blinked hard a couple of times realizing his eyes were stinging. No? Stop? Fucking??? Brain??? No??? Stop???? A slow, deep breath settled him some, at least. A hand shifted and slowly traced through some strands of Nik’s hair. He probably should have said ‘good’ again or even ‘that sounds like a plan’ or maybe even ‘I’ll call the relater tomorrow too’ but instead what came out was— “I can’t wait to fight the woods again.” A weird snicker escaped from him before melting into a low laugh. “And make ornaments for the tree.”

"I can't wait to see you fight the woods in person," Nik teased. "Maybe less drunk this time though~" Maybe. Maybe not. Drunk wood cutting sounded dangerous but oddly amusing right now.
Oh, that last bit though? "Make?" He had never thought of that, but now he was. "We always just bought ours but that could be really fun... ..Ooh ah, some people do that popcorn string stuff huh?" He couldn't remember if he'd ever seen that in person or just on tv but it definitely sounded like an interesting and cheaper option. "We could do like... origami or all kinds of stuff, huh?" He did have a bunch of art supplies once he got his stuff unpacked too, hehe.
"..Oh, I almost forgot. Do you still do Hanukkah, too?"

Ahhhh, all of it sounded so nice. It all just— Mwa… Orion hadn’t even realized he’d closed his eyes until one of them flicked open again to look down at Nik. “Ah… I haven’t in…” How many years had it been? Well, technically Dad had done something akin to it that one year he was in jail but….At least a couple of years, yeah. “Yeah….” he answered a bit softer. “It’s been… a while but… I’d love to do that…” His voice had grown quieter, softer, almost a little distant. Vaguely, he wondered what Dad was up to. He hadn’t gotten to see him since Auntie and Azz came over with Mom instead. Mmmmm. “Maybe just Christmas this year, though. We'll be busy enough as is~”

"Ah..." Nik nodded. "Yeah, that's true. Next year we can be sure to do both if you want." He.. was not as educated as he could have been in what that actually entailed, he mostly just wanted to let Orion know he'd be happy to do whatever if it was meaningful to him. But he might have to do some research and figure out if there was some really small subtle way to celebrate that part of his heritage without putting them out much more this year time or money wise.
"...And I guess.. the next year, and the next year??" His voice cracked a bit as he realized this all over again. "We are... really doing this. We're gonna... share so many holidays and?? so many years?" Oh no he was getting stupid and teary again heh. Hugging Orion tight, he whimpered, "I love you."

“Next year sounds nice,” Orion mumbled a bit softer. Laying down wasn’t doing anything for the fuzziness of his mind right then, and he was finding it hard to focus. Nik’s emotional words and the tight hug after had Orion feeling slowly through his hair. “Love you too, babe,” he chuckled softly blinking slowly. Ugh he… was not exactly comfortable, and he tried to shift just a little to get comfortable but… ugh…. Never mind he was good he was… totally…..
The arms around Nik would slowly stop moving, settling comfortable at Nik’s back. Orion’s breath would ease, and the way his chest moved would be noticeably different to Nik. If he looked up, he’d find Orion’s eyes had closed and his head was leaned slightly to one side. His glasses clung to his face but could just as easily be pulled off. A subtle snore buzzed out of him, but otherwise he was at peace.

Nik's heart could have burst already as he lay just quietly cuddling and thinking about everything, but as he finally looked up to notice Orion had fallen asleep, it felt even fuller. It was... always so nice to see him resting peacefully, as rare as it was especially. He didn't want to risk waking him with too much movement, so he refrained from the urge to kiss him and instead slowly worked his way off him and to his feet, then taking Orion's glasses off carefully to set aside and gently nudging him into what looked like a more comfortable position. There~
He stood just watching him for a few moments, then grabbed a blanket to pull over him and... mm, he was exhausted but didn't actually feel like he could sleep with his brain this excited by possibilities, amusingly. So instead, he grabbed a laptop and a blanket of his own and curled up nearby. For a while, he looked at different banks and financing options and how much different insurance options were in Pahala and such, but... then it became browsing furniture and renovation costs despite that being a way off and...
Yeah now he was just. playing Sims. To ah, test out potential room layouts with the furniture and stuff, of course. .... When the fuck did it become 5am?
