*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?

*sheepish* I just haven't been looking, since you moved in. I don't think I need anyone else.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*pulls him closer* I wish I hadn't been looking--I never wanted anyone but you, really, and it was stupid to try to replace you with someone else because I couldn't have you ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*sheepish* No, no -- it's all right. I don't mind that you were looking -- I don't mind if you keep looking --

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*repeating, gentle against his ear* I never wanted anyone but you.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*soft* ... Oh ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*as though to himself* Sometimes, when we were lying in bed together, I'd imagine how I'd turn over and hold you, and kiss you, and you'd kiss me back, and before we knew it we'd be lovers ... and I wanted to so much, but I could never tell myself to do it. Or when you were baking, I'd think how easy it would be just to sneak up behind you and hold you, and kiss you, and ... but I never could. It was better, living with you, because it wasn't special to sleep with you, or to cook with you, and I didn't feel like I had to or I'd never have a chance again ... but I still wanted to. I love you so much ...

*soft, soft, this kind of confession beautiful from Horatio (but what does Horatio do anymore that isn't beautiful?) and he doesn't want to interrupt it* And now that we have ... ?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*littlesmile* I guess I kiss you in bed sometimes, or when we're cooking, and maybe you'll want to do more than kiss me back ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*nuzzles and laughs* Maybe something with frosting.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*eep! giggles, tickling* I'd like that--!

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*giggles and squirms close enough to kiss the tip of his nose --*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*cuddling, kissing his cheek* ^_______^ You're so wonderful.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*a kiss in return* Not so wonderful as you.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*blushes, pressing against him along their whole bodies* Now you're just being silly. *littlesmile* Would you still like to watch a movie tonight, and drink lemonade?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*flushed and smiling, easy* If you would ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I just feel like we should make the most of the weekend, because it's almost over ... and I want you to have as many happy memories as you can, in case Olga is mean to you tomorrow.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

I'm very happy. *nuzzles him, sweetly* And Olga is always mean to me --

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Then what do you want to do? I got to choose this, and now it's your turn.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

We both chose this. And we should both choose the next thing, too ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*traces his ribs, then* Could you suggest something, maybe?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*silly* I want to make cupcakes.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*sillyback, with a light kiss* With frosting?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*nods and laughs, touching noses* But you get to decide what kind.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. *considers* What kind of cupcakes?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

Chocolate, maybe?q
