*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?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*^_____^ that would be amazing. so--regroup nine-ish, for fade-out et al!*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*fade-out?*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*fade out, then, on Horatio curled around Reynaldo, his soiled clothes shucked and his hair in disarray; clasping Rey's hand* Was that ... okay?

*breath still returning to him, staring up at the ceiling and waiting for the rest of him to come back down from it -- embraces Horatio and gently nuzzles his hair* You're incredible ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*a sheepish giggle, and a little kiss to his cheek* I didn't do anything special ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

You didn't have to. *a dazed little smile* You just are ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*twines his legs through Rey's, and snuggles* I ... I've wanted to do that for more than a year, ever since that night when we were kissing on Laertes's futon, and you just smiled at me, like it was special that we were kissing ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

It was special. It is. You ... *just laughs* You make it special, you know?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*laughs, as well, poking him gently in the waist* When did you first want to do this ...?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

I don't know when exactly. *catches his finger and kisses it* Maybe since the time we made a cake together. Maybe always.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*nuzzles him, for being kissed like that; kissing his nose, and speaking softly, without a hint of reproach (only affection, almost adoration)* How many people have you slept with ...? *littlesmile* Now it's five, for me. And maybe it won't ever be any more.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*flushed* E-Eight.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*slowkiss* That's not so many. ^_____^ Don't feel guilty, okay?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*could never argue against a kiss* ... Okay.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*a silly sort of laugh* And I bet you never made the first move with anyone.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*squeaks* N-No. But I never ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*brings his fingertips up to kiss, and just waits for the rest of what Rey was going to say*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*isn't, though; just kisses them, quiet and something reverent*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*kisses him through that lattice of fingers, then, sweetly* Are we still friends? Or are we something else?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

Do you want us to be?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*smile* I don't care. I'm happy ... I only thought, if it mattered to you ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*smiles back, through fingertips* I'm happy, too.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*littlekiss* Does this mean we're going to be doing this more often ...?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

I'd like to. *smiling, smiling*
