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.

[ He puts his arm around her shoulders. ]

Not really. He can take baths and stuff, you know.

[ She leans into him before giving him a quick peck on the cheek. ]

That's pretty amazing. If--When he does come back, we should take him here. I think it'd be a great group thing, drag Winry along, too, and Selim.

Kind of a family trip... hehe, big brother and Winry would definitely bicker in this kind of situation.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

What? They can't handle a nice trip like this without going at one another?

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ Al's smile turned pretty mischievous. ]

Hehe, it's more like they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. They really like each other, but they're both pretty bad with handling their feelings.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Sounds like someone should push them to confess!

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He rests his head on hers. ]

It's not that easy. They're really stubborn.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She plays with the warm water in her hands, splashing lightly, and squirting it. ]

Silly stubborn people. I'm glad we weren't like that.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

I was definitely more nervous than they are stubborn, though.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ That causes her to laugh. ]

Why would you have been nervous? I thought it was pretty obvious I liked it.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He laughs a little, himself. ]

I've never really had time for this kind of thing before... especially with how I was, so I guess I just had no idea how things would work out. I'm glad that I told you, anyway.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She moves herself so she can look him in the eye, smiling brightly. Gods, she loved him. ]

I am, too. I love you, Al.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He smiles softly at her and touches her face carefully. ]

I love you too, Usagi.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She touches his hand, tears filling her eyes, her smile brighter if it were at all possible. ]

I don't know what I'd do without you here. You've made me so happy.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He strokes her cheek carefully with his thumb. ]

Don't cry, Usagi... I don't have any plans of leaving here without you. And... I'm glad to hear I make you happy. I'm glad I found you.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She raises one hand to rub the tears from her eyes, laughing slightly. ]

I'm not gonna cry, silly. [ lies, but whatever. ]

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

You look like you are.

[ He pokes her cheek and laughs a little. ] Are you sure?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ she sniffles and splashes the warm water at him lightly. ]

Positive! See! No tears? [ all right, a few tears, but she can't help it. Her boyfriend is too sweet. ]

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He splashes her right back and leans over, kissing her forehead. ]

Good, or I'll have to make them go away.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ she laughs happily. ]

I can't cry around you too much!

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He laughs as well. ]

I hope not!

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She finally sinks lower into the water, her looped pigtails skimming the surface. ]

We should do this sometime in August when all the leaves are changing.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He looks up at the trees. They're nice and full right now. He's trying to imagine the different colors. ]

Mm. We can watch them fall.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[ She slides her eyes shut, and lets out a hum. ]

It'd be so beautiful. Not that it isn't beautiful now, of course, just... a different kind of pretty.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Mm... and the warm water will feel really nice if the weather's cooling. [ He leans back against the side of the spring. ]
