Harrison Hot Springs Resort, Friday late afternoon

[hasaknightjob]

Steven and Llewellyn had gone for a hike on Hicks Lake Loop, taking longer than the suggested time since they'd brought a picnic with them to enjoy along the way.

Once done, they headed back to their hotel room. There Steven had arranged for a fruit platter and flowers to be waiting.

Yes, their anniversary had been yesterday. But that didn't mean they were limited to celebrating on that day. After all, here they were taking the entire weekend.

"I rather enjoyed that," Steven said as they came into the room. "Our hike."

He figured Llewellyn could notice the gifts in his own time.

"As you have to mine in return," Watts said. "More than I ever thought I had any right to."

[hasaknightjob]

"You've every right to be happy," Steven said. "You're a good person, Llewellyn Watts."

[pocketpretzels]

"I do try my best to be," Watts acknowledged.

[hasaknightjob]

"That's all anyone can do, isn't it?" Steven said. "Try. Up to others to let us know if we get it right."

[pocketpretzels]

"And I must be doing well, to have you in my life."

[hasaknightjob]

"You're doing well far as I'm concerned," Steven said. "Thoughtful, caring, romantic..."

[pocketpretzels]

"It's your opinion that matters most to me," Watts said. "Even if you are a flirt."

[hasaknightjob]

"My opinion of you is the highest," Steven said. He lifted his hand up, stretching it as far as it could go. He then looked from it to Llewellyn. "Higher than that but we're lying down."

[pocketpretzels]

"Mmm," Watts hummed. "And I'm nice and comfortable. No getting up."

Well. They would have to, eventually, but in the meantime... cuddling.

[hasaknightjob]

"You are nice and comfortable," Steven said, as though agreeing with him even though he was approaching this description from another angle. "Glad you understand you can stay as long as you like."

[pocketpretzels]

"Forever," Watts said without hesitation. And then: "Er. Not in this physical location. But- with you. I'd like that to be forever, please."

[hasaknightjob]

"I'm all right for you being in my life forever," Steven told him. "You on top of me perhaps we'll change in a bit. But I like you there now. You're a good blanket."

[pocketpretzels]

"So you've said before," Watts noted fondly.

[hasaknightjob]

"You've only gotten better with experience," Steven said, grinning at him.

[pocketpretzels]

"How would you rate me, then?" Watts asked thoughtfully. "As a blanket?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Ten out of ten," Steven said. "No question."

Steven then grinned. "You've never let me down."

[pocketpretzels]

"Hard to manage, when I'm atop you," Watts pointed out with a smile of his own.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven giggled appreciatively. "Are you comfortable though? I don't wish to take advantage."

[pocketpretzels]

"In this moment, yes," Watts told him. "I might- wish to switch places later, however," he added, a little tentatively.

[hasaknightjob]

"Could do now if you want," Steven said. "I don't mind."

[pocketpretzels]

"No, no, that's all right," Watts assured him. "In a little bit."

[hasaknightjob]

"All right." Steven wrapped his arms around Llewellyn to soak up as much of the feeling of warmth and weight on him while Llewellyn was there.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts nestled in nice and tight. "Love you," he murmured into Steven's shoulder. "So very much."

[hasaknightjob]

"Mine all mine," Steven murmured.

[pocketpretzels]

"Happily, utterly, foolishly yours," Watts agreed.
