Clearing in the Preserves, Tuesday Afternoon

[not_every_mage]

Anders was relieved to see the day he and Nathan had set for their picnic had dawned clear and warm. He made his way to the clearing and got the space organized, spreading out a blanket and putting the cookies, fruit and drinks he'd brought to one side.

The shop had refused to sell him the ale he'd wanted -- something about drinking laws -- but he'd gotten lemonade and sweet cider, and those seemed almost as good. Not that he thought the choice of beverage could ruin his time with Nathan, but fussing over that kept him from fussing over anything else.

He was, perhaps, a tad excited. (And a tad nervous.)

[OOC: For that one boy.]

Anders smiled back at him, gently. "I can't imagine anything you'd show me that would make me turn away."

Trying to prove that with a kiss seemed like the best idea ever. He leaned toward Nathan again, closing the space between them. It wouldn't make the marks disappear, but it was the best Anders could offer in the moment.

It wouldn't make the marks disappear but it helped. Nathan would be glad to tell Anders that it helped and helped a lot. Not just because it felt physically good but he would always marvel that someone liked him enough to want to do that with him.

It was a thought he'd constantly have. But, not right now. Right now, his focus was on returning that kiss and leaning closer to Anders as he did. He wasn't going to be turning away either.

Anders pressed forward, barely nipping at Nathan's bottom lip as he did. He liked Nathan enough to do that to him, and a lot more besides -- not just physical ones, but almost more intimate emotional ones as well.

But for right then, continuing to kiss him was enough.

There would be plenty of days, weeks, months ahead to do whatever they wanted. As long as this island stayed safe, he figured he'd stay until he figured things out.

So, Anders coming closer, nipping at his lip and staying close? Yeah, that was definitely very good for now. Right then, he felt content and comfortable and that felt good.
