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.

"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."

"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.

[hasaknightjob]

"Happy anniversary, love," Steven told him.

[pocketpretzels]

"Here's to many more," Watts said, shifting slightly so he could press a gentle kiss to Steven's lips. "Of all sorts."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven kissed him back, more than happy to return that sentiment in kind.
