[ 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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
[ 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.
[ 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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ]
[ It gets her giggling quietly, but she's still a little extra emotional. ] I don't know if I'll ever get used to it. Maybe that's good, though. I don't want to take this feeling for granted.
