He tries not to hang around staring creepily at Don as he passes through the living room on the way to the kitchen, just glancing over to see how he's doing. Marvelous had gone to sleep after Don and has woken up well before him, but he isn't surprised about that given the sheer exhaustion that was written all over Don's face the night before. Marvelous has already poked his head in a couple of times this morning to see if Don is awake yet, but each time he's been curled up just as sound asleep as before. It's a relief really - Marvelous hadn't really thought he would settle down that easily. He had even stayed sat on the edge of the coffee table after realising that Don was asleep the night before, watching him breathe for a little while just to be sure his sleep was definitely the peaceful sort.
He hasn't jumped in the shower yet this morning either for fear of waking Don before he's ready, but there was only ever going to be so much tip-toeing around he could do before his stomach woke up and demanded (first) breakfast. And if he's making it he can't not make some for Don too! All the delicious cooking smells will wake him up and get his appetite going. There's no better way to be woken up, in Marvelous's opinion.
He's banking on the fact that Don will be ready to try some more substantial food this morning - he'd been so enthusiastic about it the night before! He pulls out all of his breakfast favourites: sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs, hash browns. He has to set the meats cooking first in order to get them ready at the same time as everything else, but they don't start smelling rich and powerfully juicy for a while. Marvelous likes his eggs done at least three different ways, too, and that can take some time to perfect. He scrambles some while water is starting to bubble and boil for a few more, and will poach some too for good measure. Don's sure to like at least something that's available! He can set it all on a platter and then they can both help themselves.
"Marvelous?" He hears from behind him, and a tenseness in his shoulders he hadn't realised he was holding relaxes. He'd been telling himself everything would be fine, but that wasn't the same as knowing it. Cooking is a wonderful way to set aside thoughts of anything else, he can lose himself in the delight of it. But when he turns Don is smiling and his body language seems cheerful.
"Good morning!" Marvelous replies, holding up the frying pan in one hand and spatula in the other. "Breakfast?"
