I wouldn't want them to get close enough for that anyway. Not when I can just have you. [ He bumps a kiss into her hair, squeezing her gently. ] Love you.

[cafeultra]

Love you, babe. [ Every so often, there's still that small feeling of surprise when he expresses his want for her. It never lingers long, but it's there. She nuzzles in again, tucking her head against his shoulder. After a beat of quiet, she perks up a bit. ] Those silly roadside attractions you went by seemed cool. I'm glad you shared that with me on your trip home.

[soicantlose]

Yeah? They seemed like the kind of thing you'd enjoy. [ He's pleased to be right about it. He strokes her hair idly, nuzzling at her. ] If I had you with me, I might've stopped at some of them.

[cafeultra]

I love all that cheesy stuff. [ She perks up a little at the idea of being with him on the road. Not for a job, necessarily, but... maybe it'd be nice for them to take a little trip. Something that's not them fleeing the city for temporary safety. ]

Wouldn't mind if we did a little road trip sometime.

[soicantlose]

[ He probably wouldn't take her if it was for work, anyway. It'd be mostly waiting around in a shitty motel for her, most likely, but -- it's still a little too close for him to feel comfortable. ]

That sounds like fun. Anywhere particular you'd want to go?

[cafeultra]

Anywhere, with you. [ Which... isn't really an answer, but it's the truth. She noses in against his neck before pressing a couple soft kisses there. ] We could have fun doing some silly tourist stuff. Maybe spend a weekend somewhere. You've probably been more places than I have, you might have better ideas.

[soicantlose]

Maybe, but I've never really done the tourist stuff. Always kind of... had specific goals, wherever I've been. [ He shrugs, pressing another little kiss to the top of her head. ] I think I could find somewhere you'd like, though. Get away for a couple days, stop anywhere you want on the way there and back.

[cafeultra]

It'd be nice. You and me, out there exploring. And I guess I could always use the break from work. [ Just the thought makes her sigh happily. ] I'm not a big theme park person, but I could be happy with most anything else.

[soicantlose]

No roller coasters. Got it. [ He grins, squeezing her gently. ] We'll figure something out, then. Sometime soon?

[cafeultra]

You definitely don't want me on a roller coaster. [ She laughs quietly, head resting against his shoulder. ] Soon would be nice. We'll take a picture in front of the silliest tourist trap we can find.

[soicantlose]

[ He strokes at her hair, settled and content. ] I like that plan. We'll have a couple of days with nothing to do but wander around and enjoy ourselves.

[cafeultra]

I love it. [ Her hand runs lightly up and down his back. ] What kind of stuff do you want to see?

[soicantlose]

[ He hums softly, considering. ] Guess it depends on where we go, right? Most places have to have some must-sees. I don't know what else. Any other kind of thing you'd want to look out for?

[cafeultra]

Anything educational or a little spooky? Or just weird. [ She laughs a bit sheepishly. ] I guess I'm nothing if not predictable. Some cool restaurants too, though.

[soicantlose]

Hey, nothing wrong with being predictable. It makes it easy to know what you'd like. [ He grins a little, nuzzling at her. ] I kinda figure good food is a given. But maybe I can find somewhere with some kind of ghost tour. Or a museum or something? Does it matter what it's educational about?

[cafeultra]

Anything. Museums, zoos, aquariums. [ She kisses his cheek. } That's true. I'm easy to please, and you're the very best at it.

[soicantlose]

And it's my favorite thing to do. [ He turns to catch her in a proper kiss, soft and quick. ] All right then. Spooky stuff and interesting stuff. With tourist traps on the way. I think I can find us something that fits the bill.

[cafeultra]

Pick out stuff you find interesting, too. This is for both of us. [ Well, if he's gonna kiss her, she'll take one of her own, too. But when she's not kissing him, she can't stop smiling. ] Our first vacation together. I've... never been with anyone that I've gone on a trip with.

[soicantlose]

Never, really? [ He doesn't sound shocked, just contemplative, and he'll bump a playful kiss against the bridge of her nose before admitting: ] I've done, uh, a lot of travel with somebody. But so far as actually planning just a vacation -- I've never really done that, either.

[cafeultra]

Just family, which wasn't fun. And I don't count my mission trip, I was forced to have a companion. [ Talking about those things usually brings her down a little, but she's so happy with Nate that now she can brush it off pretty easily. ] This time I'll be going with someone who wants me there.

[soicantlose]

Yeah. [ Well, now he's even more determined to make this a good experience. He catches her jaw so he can kiss her, soft and sweet. ] I always want you there, for the record. In case you had any doubts.

[cafeultra]

[ She leans into the kiss, all gentle affection. Her voice goes a bit quieter. ] I would doubt, usually, but you make it hard to doubt.

[soicantlose]

Good. [ Soft and firm. He caresses her cheek gently, pressing a second kiss against her forehead. ] If that changes, you should tell me so I can fix it. I don't want you to ever think I don't.

[cafeultra]

Babe. [ She draws a slightly shaky breath, fingertips tracing over his lower back. ] You're so sweet, I'll cry.

[soicantlose]

I can't help it if you make me want to be sweet to you. [ Another little kiss against her forehead, her cheek, scattered playfully to try and make her smile. ]
