Sean followed the smell of coffee and the sound of paper rattling. Bare feet padded over the carpet, and bleary eyes peered in Orlando's general direction. At least Sean hoped it was Orlando and not Viggo with one of his wild notions for a day trip.

But then, it was their kitchen and, last Sean knew, Viggo didn't have a copy of the new keys.

"Up early," Sean mumbled, voice still rough with sleep. He headed towards the coffee pot, on automatic as he pulled a mug from the cupboard.

"Mmm," was Orlando's only response. The paper rattled again.

Fortified with coffee, black and strong (he hoped), Sean turned to lean on the counter. And blinked. Orlando was reading the Sun.

"So who're you shagging this week?" he asked, unable to keep from being amused.

"What?" Dark eyes blinked, peering over the paper at Sean. "Oh, um, I'm just, y'know, looking at the photos."

"You hate the paparazzi," Sean pointed out, gleefully delighted with this turn of events.

"I, um, well…"

"Just admit you're a nosy little thing and like the gossip."

"I don't," Orlando sniffed, and vanished behind the paper again. "Shush, you," he grumbled, when Sean started laughing.
