part 352 may flowers and showers

[aphanon_meme]

Hey meme... it's gonna be May! Which means it's spring for many people! Or, it should be, if the weather would decide to cooperate. I've been wanting to plant my jalapenos outside but it keeps getting randomly cold... I just want spicy peppers, weather! I mean come on.

Anyway. At least it's not snowing. Or eternally Halloween. If you know what I mean.

Enjoy part 352!

....thought ya'd like it, tho'!


['sides, can't not commemorate a milestone birthday!]

[iceandheather]

Ain't the point.

[Leans against him, not about to explain]

[kingkongeriget]

What, ya mean it ain't worth doin' summat ya think'll make folks happy jus' 'cuz they don't need it?


Maybe jus' so happens I like doin' it, anyway!


[sticks the bow from the gift onto him]

[iceandheather]

[Makes a face as Denmark sticks the bow on, but doesn't move to take it off]

That ain't it, neither.

[Hesitates, then coils his arms around him]

I'm plenty happy already.

bedtime for now!

[kingkongeriget]

[oh]














[ohhhhhh]


[gives him a one-armed squeeze]


....'s good.

Okay!

[iceandheather]

'S right.

[Squeezes back]

... Ain't sayin' I'm about to turn down gifts, mind.

[Hides a smile]

Re: Okay!

[kingkongeriget]

's also good!


['cuz he's been really excited about giving this one]


['cuz he doesn't know anything about magic, but he went through a pretty reputable book dealer on this one, and it looks like something Norway'd get good use out of]


[(it's a big book of "home remedies" in...something Cyrillic)]




[uh. he should probably say something-]


[um.]




[blushes]


.........uh. Congratulations.


[gives him another squeeze, just 'cuz]

[iceandheather]

[Takes it in for a moment, then draws away enough to reach for the gift. But then he's back to leaning against him again. Maybe he doesn't mind the contact right now.]

Ain't like you, not havin' a mouth full of talk at a time like this.

[kingkongeriget]

Figure I oughta leave th'speechin' fer today t'yer boss an' folks!


[gets that one-armed hug settled into something more like cradling his head]


Less ya want me speechin'!

[iceandheather]

Keep it to your own self, thanks.

[Murmurs it as he undoes the wrapping]

If'n I'm to have one day without you yappin', I'll-

[And then it's open, and he stares at the book for a moment. Flips through it. Remembers, after a second, what he was saying.]

... I'll be glad for it. [Pause] Changed your mind about magic bein' codswallop, have you.

[kingkongeriget]

's kinda a funny story...


[half melting tends to change folks' minds on certain things]


Useful summats in there?

[iceandheather]

[Doesn't answer for a bit; he's too busy thumbing through it, which should be answer enough in itself]

... Yes.

[Gives Denmark a nudge]

Y'did good this time.

[kingkongeriget]

[shuffles his weight from foot to foot for a second before settling]


[scratches a nonexistent itch under his shirt collar]


Jus' wanted t'do summat fittin' th'occasion!

[iceandheather]

Didn't have to do anything.

[He's already said that, but he'd like to be firm about it.]

[Stops flipping through it, and looks up at him instead]

Ought to thank you proper, I think.

[That might be a smile, there.]

[kingkongeriget]

But I wanted ta!


[which he'd like to be firm about, too]


[cranes his head to see]


Yeah?

[iceandheather]

[Thinks about arguing with him, but if he did that, they'd go in circles all night.]

[Turns so that they can look at each other properly]

Yes. Now, d'you know what I mean, or do I have to go makin' it clear.

[kingkongeriget]

[he thiiiiiinks he knows, but he can't ever be too sure]


[looks for a second like he's thinking hard]


[then closes the distance for a peck on the lips]

[iceandheather]

[Grabs him by the shirt, and turns that kiss into more than a peck]

[Really, Denmark, did you have to think that hard about it?]

[kingkongeriget]

[-mmph!]


[not that he's complaining, but yeah, he so totally did have to give it some thought. he's been wrong before, so]


[aw, hell, might as well go all in]


[HE'S GONNA DO IT, HE'S GONNA GO FOR THE DIP]

[iceandheather]

[-mnpf!]

[That wasn't expected.]

[Flails a bit and after a second latches onto him]

[... But not before accidentally whacking him with the book in the process]

[kingkongeriget]

[WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING ONE OF THEM HAS A SOLID GRIP, BECAUSE IT SURE ISN'T DENMARK AFTER THAT WALLOP. OW OW SHIT OW.]

[iceandheather]

[...]

[Breaks the kiss]

I didn't hit ya' that hard, did I.

sleep again!

[kingkongeriget]

[gets a sturdy grip back on]


's different when it's surprisin' ya!


[the element of surprise just makes it hurt more!]

Okay!

[iceandheather]

Fine.

[Right about this time, anyone else would apologize.]

Won't be any more surprises tonight, I think.

[Denmark had better be satisfied with that, at least.]

Re: Okay!

[kingkongeriget]

Birthday boy gets what he wants!


[AGREED.]


[lets him back on up]
