lucetilogs | Event Log - Love at the Lake

[ Yes but that would involve leaving Ion with Kohan's coat, and we don't want to lose BOTH of them now do we :|

But yes enjoy away. Kohan doesn't get to see fireworks much, either, so he's just watching the show as well. ]

[Oh come on, they hardly need coats when they have each other.]

[As the sun continues going down, the temperature continues to drop, making Ion shiver. He doesn't say anything, but he does lean just a bit closer to Kohan, resting his head against his shoulder. D'awww.]

[ He can feel that shivering.

As nice as the fireworks are, Kohan would rather not have a boyfriend suffering from frostbite on him. ]

Hey... maybe we should warm up a bit now.

Are you sure? I wouldn't want to pull you away from the fireworks if you're still enjoying them.

[Though going off on his own to warm up somewhere doesn't sound very appealing either.]

I'm not going to remember them too fondly if you come down with a cold tomorrow. Come on.

[ And he stands and starts to give Ion a hand up. ]

[Ion nods, taking his hand as he stands and pulls Kohan's coat up off the ground. He shakes it off a bit before handing it back.]

Perhaps we should get some hot chocolate on the way? It might warm us up faster than just going inside for a while.

[He really likes hot chocolate okay.]

[ Wrapping that coat around Ion's shoulders. So there. ]

How much have you had already?

[ He remembers the milkshakes bro ]

[Aww, now he's nice and toasty! But hm, how many has he had today...]

Only about 3 cups? But that's since I arrived here earlier.

[Hot chocolate was a lot less filling than a milkshake was.]

[ He was worried that number was going to have a zero at the end of it okay. ]

... Alright, then maybe another won't hurt.

[Gosh Kohan you act like he has a drinking problem of something.]

[With a smile and a nod, Ion gives Kohan's hand a small squeeze before leading him back to the stalls, where a few of them are still selling hot chocolate.]

...oh, this stall has more varieties than the last one I saw did. Though I can't say I've ever heard of "Aztec" hot chocolate before...

Aztec? Huh... I don't think it's anything from my world.

[ Unless Destiny Islands is actually Earth but signs point to "no" so let's go with that. ]

Do you want to try it?

[He nods. ~~Your fate is sealed, Kohan.~~]

Yes, I think I will. It's always nice to try new things, isn't it?

[And so he orders himself a cup -- it's not quite as sweet smelling as the other varieties were. It's almost a little spicy.]

Which do you think you want to try? I can let you have a sip of mine if you'd like to try it first?

[ Kohan eyes the options. ]

Well... I haven't had the caramel one yet. Might as well give it a shot, I guess.

[Meanwhile Ion is just going to take a sip of his cup now that it's arrived and--]

...oh! That's a lot less sweet than I was expecting. It certainly has a bit of a kick to it...

[ Meanwhile, Kohan will be taking the first tentative sip of his... ]

... Salty? Yet, sweet...

[ The reference had to be made okay ]

Well, it is salted caramel, after all. [Taking another drink of his own -- it's not quite what he was expecting, but still pretty good!]

[It hasn't quite started to kick in yet.]

Mine tastes a little spicy... I wonder if it's made with some kind of pepper?

Maybe that's what an Aztec is.

[ And he starts taking bigger drinks of his own. ]

This stuff kind of grows on you after the first few sips, huh?

[Ion is still mostly sipping on his. The spiciness is a little strong, but it feels nice and warm going down. He nods.]

It takes some getting used to, but you're right. It does taste... [Oh. That's odd, his mind seems to be wandering a bit.] ...really good.

Not as good as I'm sure you do--

[ ohgod what was that Kohan suddenly slaps his free hand over his mouth, face slowly turning visibly red even in the low light. ]

[What.]

[What.]

[Okay hold on, we are stopping mid-sip here to address whatever the heck that was, because despite the expression on Kohan's face -- which is a complete give-away -- Ion's still not so sure he heard Kohan right.]

...come again?

I-I don't know! It just slipped out! I wasn't even thinking about taking you back to one of those cabi-- [ OKAY NO HAND OVER MOUTH AGAIN WE ARE STOPPING THIS RIGHT NOW ]

...you weren't?

[Oops, that hot chocolate is starting to affect Ion a little bit too. He takes a step closer, soothing a hand up Kohan's arm as if to try and pull his hand away.]

Well, what else were you not thinking about doing?

I... I don't know. I mean, it just came out. The words, I mean. I'm not sure what...

[ And, after a moment, his gaze slowly falls to the hot chocolate still held in his free hand.

... Malnosso... ]

[And while Kohan's mind is wandering in that direction, Ion's seems to be set on wandering in a very different one. He's still running his hand up and down Kohan's arm, the slightest hint of color in his cheeks as he looks up at Kohan with a certain smile he might just be able to recognize.]

Wherever they came from, they seem to have some good ideas. Perhaps we should try listening to them?

Ion, wait. I think there's something strange going on here--

[ But then he actually looks back to Ion, and yeah, he recognizes that smile. It catches him and makes him falter long enough for his brain to not get a filter on his runaway mouth. ]

You're not in my bed yet.
