It's a lovely evening, and Lorne is tempted to stop by the lake for a quick dip on the way, but he's carrying raw meat with him, which makes it seem like a bad idea. The walk itself is nearly as nice anyway, and Lorne smiles as the cabin comes into view ( Read more... )

Lorne is fairly certain he will never get tired of walking up a snowy path to a well-lit cabin with smoke rising from the chimney. Especially so long as he knows who's waiting for him inside.

He kicks the snow from his boots on the porch before pushing the door open and stepping inside.

"Babe?"

Lorne is smiling as he walks up the path to the cabin. He even whistles every once in a while. His arms are a bit full, presents and whatnot.

He pauses at the door, grinning to himself. Pushing the door open, he steps inside.

“Babe? I’m home.”

There's a small cabin a little ways up the mountain behind Milliways. It's cozy-looking and inviting, smoke streaming softly from the chimney. It's well-lit and welcoming on a cold, snowy night.

"C'mere, baby," he murmurs.

When they get to Jack's room this time, Lorne is in no rush. He gives Jack a soft kiss and moves to sit on the bed.

Lorne follows Jack up to his room, a little surprised at how easy it is to fall back into this routine. He kisses Jack deeply once they're inside, his hands shaking just a little.

Lorne had a hard time choosing what to wear tonight. In general, there are Clubbing Clothes and Other Clothes. So he's gone with a mix: old, faded, just-a-bit-too-tight jeans and a black t-shirt that probably fit him loosely when he was at the Academy, but is now stretched pretty tight across his chest.
