*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?

*beams* Then maybe I'd be very, very happy.

*laughs and blushes, maybe realizing just how silly he's being* Really -- ?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Really. *snuggles against* I mean, if this works, and you still like me, then maybe in a while ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

It just ... it seems like we've been together longer than we have, doesn't it? *blushes* 'Together' together.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Because we sort of have been. *littlesmile* I mean, we've been living together a few months now, and everything ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*nods* It -- it probably wouldn't even be that big of a step, to have rings and roses ...

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*giggles, and kisses him* But we can't afford a church wedding yet, so don't think too far ahead.

*blushes a bit more -- he doesn't do enough of that* Of course -- I -- *blush* -- I'm just being silly. Sorry --

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Don't be sorry, silly. *smiles, curling up on the couch with his lemonade* I like dreaming things like this with you. I've never been able to, with anyone else. ^_^

*curling up on the floor at his feet, head coming to rest against his legs* All right. I just ... *laughs sheepishly* It would be a shame to scare you off now.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

I'm not scared ... *burying fingers in Rey's hair* ... not if you say you're going to keep loving me. *smile* I know, it's kind of cliche, but ...

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

I'll love for as long as you want me. *a hesitantly sure smile* And if you want me forever, I'll love you forever.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*soft, smiling back down at him* We've loved each other for a long time already ... I wouldn't mind forever, I think.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine someone not wanting to leave me forever. But ... I think I wouldn't mind it, either. *a little soft* I'd like it.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Me, too. *kisses the top of his head* We never did make those cupcakes ... *smile* Do you want to?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*smiles back* Still chocolate?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

And still German frosting, with cherries. ^__^ Would that be okay?

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

More than okay. *beams*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*but doesn't get up--just stays here, petting Rey's hair and finishing his lemonade, so happy--*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*relaxes like that, letting his hair be petted, letting his eyes close a moment while he holds unto this memory -- in love*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*smiles as he feels the relaxation against his legs; cupping Rey's cheek, palm smooth against it* Love you.

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*glowing* Love you, too.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*does it feel like scene?*

[carpoftruth.livejournal.com]

*very much like scene ^_^*
