Food Truck Festival, Cape Cod, Thursday Evening

[hasaknightjob]

It was Llewellyn's birthday, which first and foremost meant Steven was taking the day off.

Well, technically the first thing was that a bottle was left out on the kitchen counter for Llewellyn to find which simply bore a note of "M" on it.

But after that was taking the day off so that Steven and Llewellyn could portal over to Steven and Marc's (and Llewellyn's now, technically) home universe for a couple of days of celebrating.

Steven and Llewellyn had checked in to their room which was complete with a welcome snack basket, but also a bouquet of red roses, a bottle of champagne, and chocolate dipped strawberries.

They then immediately headed out to go whale watching, and were lucky enough to leave with ample sightings and pictures to remember them by.

After going to their room to wash up and change - Steven into his light linen suit, just for the occasion - they then traveled to the fairgrounds where a food truck festival was being held. It was here that there would be birthday dinner. Or at least traveling from truck to truck and probably sampling every single vegan option they could find, which turned out to be many.

"Where would you like to start?" Steven asked Llewellyn.

Steven reached over to lightly tug on Llewellyn's tie. "You and me means no audience either."

"How quickly do you think we can survey the rest of the trucks offerings without making ourselves ill?" Watts asked thoughtfully.

[hasaknightjob]

"Depends on how big our portions are, I imagine," Steven said. He pointed at some of the vendors. "We could pace ourselves with those as well? There's one who makes pet treats? We could get something for Raphael, perhaps?"

[pocketpretzels]

"Treats for the little man is a must," Watts agreed, already mapping out a plan of attack, as it were, for the remaining trucks he wished to sample food from.

"I know we're not gone long but even so," Steven said. "He needs to know we're thinking about him. Never far from our hearts and all that."

[pocketpretzels]

Listen, the only reason Watts wasn't trying to find treats for Midnight was because it fed on emotion and those were hard to package and sell.

"He's a VIC," Watts agreed. "Very Important Cat."

[hasaknightjob]

That earned a giggle out of Steven. "To go with his dad, a Very Important Person. Matching set, you see."

[pocketpretzels]

"Ah," Watts said, clucking his tongue. "That's where you're wrong."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven tugged on Llewellyn's lapel. "No, no, you're very important. I know that for a fact."

[pocketpretzels]

"But he has two dads," Watts reminded Steven.

[hasaknightjob]

"His first then," Steven amended.

[pocketpretzels]

"Hmm, no, I think he'd argue that both his dads are Very Important," Watts said. "As would I."

[hasaknightjob]

"Oh. Well." Steven ducked his head. "That's very kind of you both. You're both important to me as well. Very important."

[pocketpretzels]

"You mean the world to me, Steven Grant," Watts reminded him. "This or any other world."

Steven leaned over to give Llewellyn a quick kiss on the cheek. "You are my entire heart, Llewellyn Watts. I'm so happy you were born and our paths came to cross."

[pocketpretzels]

"Lucky us, that our lives converged so," Watts agreed. "Oh! We ought to take some photographs!"

[hasaknightjob]

"We should!" Steven patted himself down for his phone. "A selfie to start?"

[pocketpretzels]

"Absolutely," Watts agreed, sliding in nice and close for that selfie.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven made sure they were both in the frame. "Right, one, two, three - "

[pocketpretzels]

Which was Watts's cue to lean in and place a kiss on Steven's cheek as the photograph was taken.

[hasaknightjob]

And as always, the picture captured Steven's look of delight at the kiss happening.

[pocketpretzels]

"Let's see," Watts said, trying to get a look at the photograph.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven held his mobile out for Llewellyn to see. Then snuck a kiss on Llewellyn's cheek.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts laughed, delighted with both the kiss and how the photograph had turned out. "You'll have to make that your new mobile telephone background," he said, as if Steven didn't do just that basically every time they took a new selfie.

[hasaknightjob]

"We could have a matching set?" Steven suggested, shyly.
