"You look like you got your fill," Derek says with an amused smile. Thomas looks like he's about to nod off, and given what Derek knows about Thomas' past, he's especially thankful that he was able to provide him with enough food to fill his belly, and a safe, warm place to eat it.

He lowers himself onto the sofa next to Thomas, leaving some space between them and settling back. He's glad he brought the sofa over, just for this sort of occasion. The bar reopens tomorrow night and he needs to get everything back in order before then. It sounds exhausting, and he decides not to worry about it until he has to. For now he just relaxes and lets his head tip back against the sofa, ankles crossed as he stretches out his legs.
