Minoru closed his eyes as he felt Ziggy’s familiar emotional warmth wash over him. A mix between a hum and a gentle giggle escaped his lips, and he smiled into his wine glass. He took a small sip as well, and whispered the next couple of lines to what had become his favorite Ziggy Stardust song.

Minoru managed to sneak in a hug in before the salad, cheese and vegetable selections arrived.
