It took a few minutes for the water to boil, and as Lavi stood there
staring at the barely steaming kettle, he started to wonder about his
life choices up until this point. What was he thinking, taking a
complete stranger into his home like this? For all he knew, the kid
could be a deranged psychopath and he just brought him in without a
thought.

‘Still,’ Lavi thought, ‘At least he was cute.’ Even with a heavy layer of dirt and grime, Lavi could tell Allen was handsome.

The whine of the teapot shook him out of his thoughts. Pulling it off
the stove, Lavi moved to the other counter where he had prepped the
food and drinks. He poured the hot water into the mug, the liquid
quickly mixing with the cocoa powder. Moving to the ramen, he poured a
generous helping of water over the noodles.

Grabbing the cocoa and leaving the noodles to heat up, he headed back into the living room.

Allen had really only meant to close his eyes for a few moments before finishing the task, but instead he started dozing off again, not even having bothered to fix the towel that had fallen off his shoulders during the attempt.
