Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance

[usaisnumberwon]

*Alfred had climbed up one of the tallest hills in HQ and set up a picnic blanket. He laid out several more blankets, for when it got colder - and it would, it is winter after all - and a basket full of goodies. In case the food and drink Matthew might bring ran out. Better to have more than not enough! He waited for his boyfriend to show up.*

He's going to love watching this lunar eclipse!

*No, no he doesn't. He tries though.*

...define "bother."

...in your case, I'd say 'offer it a hamburger.'

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

I did NOT offer it a hamburger! I think I got in between a mom and her baby.

*Well, he had...tried to pet the baby moose. >x>*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Usually that's the number one cause. [He's mostly teasing him.]

Though getting between any mother and child is never a good idea.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

I know, but...it was really cute, and I thought it was hurt until Mama showed up and chased me off!

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

She was just doing her job. And probably thought you were going to hurt her child. Animals can be very protective, you now.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

I know I know...wasn't gonna hurt it...so now I never go out when moose are out! *He crosses his arms and pouts.*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Now you're just overgeneralising. I'll have to teach yout he proper way to approach moose. [Canadians know those sorts of things, after all.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

There's a proper way? *That they do. They have more Moose after all.*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

There's a proper way to do everything, Al. Even approach moose. [Plus, he's more in touch with nature. Usually.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

Huh...well yeah, teach me sometime then. *He looks up at the moon.* Look! It's turned a different color...sort of.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

I'll be more than happy to. [That way, Al's less likely to be beaten up by a moose. Turning his attention to the moon, he looked up at it with a sort of awed look.]

That's amazing.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

Isn't it?! I think the peak will come in a few hours...sometimes I wish these things went faster, because I get so sleepy. But in comparison, the solar eclipses are too short...

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wish that they'd last longer. In retrospect, they always seem not to last long enough, after all. [Turning his head slightly, he snuck in a kiss on the cheek.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*He blushed.*

I...I guess so but this is going to take all night, this lunar eclipse I mean.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[Playfully bumping his with his nose, he turned a bit and wrapped both arms around him.]

Good. The longer the better.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*His blush darkens but he wraps his arms back around Matthew.*

...long isn't bad.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[He's scooting over a bit more. Displacing a few things so that he can sit on his lap.]

It gives me more time to spend with you.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*He has a lap full of Matthew. He likes this very much.*

Exactly. That's what I like about it.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[It's a good thing he likes it because he has no plans at all to move any time soon.]

If you could have one thing, no matter what it was, what would it be? [There was just something about being out and viewing things like the eclipse that made him feel a bit philosophical.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*Oh ho? He's in luck then! His own personal lap warmer!*

*He had to think about that. He wanted to say Matthew, but he already had him...and his food needs changed constantly...*

...world peace I guess.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[Al was so lucky, indeed. Especially since his personal lap warmer liked to snuggle.]

That would be nice, really. Do you think it's really possible?

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*He likes to snuggle too.*

I don't know...I hope so...I guess I would be out of a job, but I would give it up if it would help the rest of the world...

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[Perfect. Snuggling happily, he sneaks in a few light kisses to his neck and jaw.]

You'll always have a job, you know. I'll let you be my hero. [With a light smile, he kissed him lightly for a moment.] But peace would be nice. If not total, at least for a majority.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*He hums happily in response to the kisses.*

I know, a hero's job is never done. *He kissed him back.* I'd save you any day! But yeah...I want everyone in the world to be content or safe at least.
