The Laertes/Guildenstern AU ... why do we bother calling it that any longer? ^_~

*scene--the apartment that Horatio and Rey now share, on a lovely summer day; Horatio has opened a window to catch the sunlight, and he's sitting in the patch of sun, curled up on his beanbag chair. when Rey passes, he'll look up, with a smile* Can I ask you something?

But I mean it. You're wonderful, and I couldn't understand anyone who couldn't see that. *takes a drink of his lemonade, smiling* This is really good. Is it from a mix?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head* Lemonade is easy enough to make from scratch, and we still had all those frozen raspberries from when I bought too many of them -- *sheepish sheepish* It's okay?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*beams!* It's wonderful, silly. You're always so good at this kind of thing. Haven't you tried it yet?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

A little bit, while I was still making it, but ... *blush* I wanted you to.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Well, it's good. *another kiss, to let him taste it--but it's only quick and silly, and then Horatio offers him the glass*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*smiles a small, silly smile at that, and takes a sip*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*beams* Do you like it?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*nuzzles him* I like sharing it with you.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*littlesmile as he nuzzles back* You mean you don't like it ...?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like it all right. Just -- *a shy little kiss at the tip of an ear* You make it better.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*giggles* You're sweet to me. *an equally shy sort of kiss to his chin*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*laughs, and beams* I just like having you around to be sweet to --

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*softsmile* It doesn't bother you, that I might have a girlfriend after tomorrow?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

It doesn't -- and I don't ever want to hold you back, I'm just ... worried, maybe, that I'll have to spend less time with you ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little less, if she wants to go out with me. *tickles lightly, and steals the glass*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*eep -- ! squirms and clings* Well, I figured that --

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*puts the glass aside to clingback* And it just depends. *ticklesmore* Maybe she just wants to be friends--

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*eep! squirmsmore, and tries to catch his hands* We're friends --

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*nope! catches Rey's hands instead, and blows a raspberry on his neck before kissing him there, laughingbreathless* What do you mean--?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*oh -- squeaks and arches helplessly, by now breathless, too* ... M-Maybe she won't want to share ... ?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*wriggles at that, still laughing and glad* I can have more than one friend--

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*blushing* I'm being silly, aren't I?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little silly. *lets him free to poke him lightly* But that's okay.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*gah -- holds him and rests his head against Horatio's chest*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*holdsback, stroking his hair and kissing the top of his head*
