Thank you for understanding. That really does make me feel better. I'm really looking forward to being able to live with you more and more. But there's always that anxiety that I want to do right for my dad too, you know?
[ But having Jun come from a place of understanding and similar experience means the absolute world to him. It makes him feel a little less like he's being paranoid about it.
And... oh. That comment does make his heart feel so very full. He has to tamp down the desire to say he's fine with things as they are, or that he doesn't need anything changing, to lessen his presence in the apartment. Because he knows that's his brain lying to him. Jun wants him to live there, he's shown time and time again that he loves every part of Varian- even the parts of him that are chaotic and messy. The parts Quirin always told him to quieten down. They are a part of Varian and he does know Jun loves those. He doesn't have to worry about his own quirks being an inconvenience at best or at worst an embarrassment. ]
I'd really like that. I mean. Making it OURS. That sounds really nice. I really do want to build a home with you.
Haha, I get it. Don't worry, we don't have to rush into anything. We got more than enough time to take things slow.
[Jun has the sense that the slow move-in is more for Varian's sake than Amal's. Amal is an adaptable guy, and an extroverted guy. Jun's pretty sure if Amal got lonely, he wouldn't have issue going out and talking to people. But.... he's not going to point it out. If this is what helps Varian feel better, then he doesn't mind taking it slow]
Me too. It might be a bit tricky to renovate with us being under the water, but I'm sure it's a challenge you can handle!
Though uh.... I do have one stipulation, if that's alright, based on the room you have already in the fortress:
Any materials that'd be considered a health hazard must stay in your production zone workspace, okay? And that includes tetanus.
Of course we have, but I appreciate your patience all the time.
[ Because Jun is right, Varian's fears are very much on his own. He's finally got a father who loves and encourages him- someone who calls him his little spark and treats every invention, every win and failure like an incredible achievement. He's afraid if he spreads his wings too quickly, he'll somehow lose that- and only time will prove his demons otherwise. ]
It's a challenge I'll be glad to test out!!! I know I can manage it!
[ And at some point in that work, he'll find his serenitea pot he forgot he had and that will make life a lot easier. Currently it's in his dumping room in the Fortress, gathering dust, forgotten, speaking of... ]
You know what? I think that's an extremely fair stipulation. Even if I WORK in organised chaos, I probably shouldn't live in it and you definitely shouldn't. Okay, I can live by that stipulation, nothing dangerous in our room!
I know you'll be a big help! I might be better at building, but you have a MUCH better eye for style than I do. I'm relying on you to make whatever me manage to build to look good!
[Varian has all the faith in him on that! He LIKES what Jun can bring to the table, he's so much better at it than Varian is. ]
We are. I already feel so much less anxious about it. I love you.

[And he truly did mean that.]
Haha, I know you can! And I'll be there to give what help I can too.
[He's not a great engineer like Varian, but hey, at least he can do manual labor- and decorating! He's pretty good at that]
Good! Glad we're on the same page there!
