Way down in Kokomooo~

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Who: Alphonse Elric and Usagi Tsukino
What: "Vacation" to the hot springs
When: After this post and some walking.
Where: Uuuh the hot springs!
Summary: Al and Usagi have been planning this a while, and now that thing have settled and the weather has cleared, they're off to enjoy themselves.
Rating: I don't expect over PG-13??


[ They'd been walking for quite a while, but Alphonse was used to walking. Through the forest was better than through the desert. There were no sunburns under the shade of the trees. No lack of water. No sun being particularly angry at him for dare treading in ITS domain.

But, even so, he felt it was time for a rest, and for lunch. Some time to step away from their bored singing and plucking at tall grass and lugging along their bags to set things down, including themselves. ]

Let's take a break. It's not much further now, anyway.

That's true. In this place, you can at least anticipate sunny weather. I was getting impatient, though. [ He sits down near her. ]

[ munch munch munch ]

Me too! I've been looking forward to this for awhile.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

We've been there so long... it's nice to feel like we're getting a break.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? It kind of feels like it's just us, right now, no one else. I like this feeling.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. We don't get to really be alone a lot, after all. The village is so populated, I don't think many people do.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

It's so different than how it used to be. [ But that may have been because the two of them, essentially, had lived by themselves. Now they've got full houses. ]

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Yeah... but, really, I don't mind it. Not one bit.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

It's nice having the people we care about here, huh? It doesn't feel so lonely anymore.

[ He nods, glancing down at his food thoughtfully. ]

I never thought I'd see anyone but Brother again, so getting this chance... it's really great.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ Usagi takes another bite of her sandwich, and then smiles. ]

Who knows who else you'll see here.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Maybe... Mom or Dad will show up, someday.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I hope they do, just so you can see them again. It'd be really nice if I could meet your parents one day. [ While they aren't ghosts. :| ]

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

I'd really like you to meet them. That'd be so great!

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Mm, it would. Maybe one day I'll meet them, and then maybe one day you can meet mine. I bet my mother would adore you.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

You really think so? I'd... definitely like that a lot.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Daddy would probably drill you with questions, mom would make sure you ate dinner with us all the time, and Shingo would probably make you play video games with him or something. O-Or he'd say embarrassing stories about me.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Hehe, that's your little brother, right? I know about having that job.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Little brothers and their skill to annoy.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

We do it best!

Well, are you ready to go try out the springs?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ cue excited nodding ]

Yes! Let's go relax! Let's go relax!

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ Al stands up and offers her his hand. ]

Let's go, then!

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She takes his hand, pulling herself up, before tugging him along, going a little faster than needed. ]

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He follows along, being dragged a bit at first, but catching up to her. Her energy is pretty contagious. ]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She gives him a bright smile, stopping as they near the spring. ]

Ready?

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Ready! [ He grins right back at her. ]
