"Here, just a moment-"
He went off to the kitchen and returned a moment later with a bowl of cottage cheese with some peach slices on top.

He pulled his hands back sharply.
"What's wrong?" he asked, agonizing over the answer, not sure what he'd done wrong.

Adrien chewed and swallowed repentantly.
"Thank you," he said very quietly, eyes still downcast.

Adrien's knee jerked involuntarily and he tightened his grip, along with the rest of the muscles in his body, on the bowl, making sure it did not spill. He lifted his eyes wordlessly to Adrian's. They were still red-rimmed.

He nodded. "After lunch," he said decisively, taking another bite.
