"It's not that much..." He pouted a bit but he didn't fight it further. After all, he really did appreciate his boyfriend watching his back like that. Eli knew that he had a lot that he had to pay for right now until graduation. After that he'd be able to join a company. Maybe by then he and James would be living the dream and living together...

It was a nice thought. Smiling at his boyfriend, he nodded to show he understood and finished tucking into breakfast. When he was done, he politely went to go rinse his dishes and grabbed his stuff and shoes so they could go get the car together.
