Escape from Gordon [locked to Lennox - dated to July 16th]

[chris_cutter]

It wasn't exactly the best-looking canoe Chris had ever seen, but it was big enough for two people and a dog and a few supplies (just barely) and it served its purpose. To float. Which, he, Lennox and Eddie had been sure to test for with and without passengers and it'd passed admirably. The sides were kind of square and it wasn't smooth by any

"Chris, it's not like we're going for a year," Lennox replied with a tiny smile, glancing over at him. He knew he was eager to get away and so was Lennox, although probably for different reasons. Having sex with his husband was something he'd sort of grown to take for granted and now that his husband's father was suddenly living next door, that sex life had sort of gotten a lot less busy. And a lot more quiet. And Lennox was not enjoying this sudden change.

It would be good for Chris to get away, too. Get away and clear his head, think about what was going on, what they could do about Gordon. How they'd finally tell him they were married. It would have to be said eventually, they both knew it, but Lennox just wasn't sure how or when Chris wanted to tell him.

Maybe someone would save them both the trouble and spill it accidentally.

Chris knew Lennox was right. Plus, he'd managed to steal Mike's knife the day before so if they did run out, he might be able to catch a bird or a small animal or something and they could eat that.

"Tempting, though," he murmured as they reached the canoe and he set the bag down to start turning the thing upright.

If he had his way, they'd be gone for as long as possible, only come back when they absolutely needed food. Either that or in time for the Veggies. He knew Lennox might have different plans, though.

"You'd get bored of me before then," Lennox teased with a small smile as he moved to help Chris get the canoe upright. He didn't really believe that, but he knew they had to come back before then, if not for Eostre's babies, then to deal with Gordon, even if Chris didn't want to do that.

Hal yipped quietly, running around Lennox once before she sat down in the sand again and watched them work. "She's really fucking helpful, eh?" he asked with a laugh, looking down at Hal while she sat in the sand and stared at them.

"I've had twenty-nine years to get bored of you," Chris pointed out with a grin as he started loading up the canoe with the few bags they had. "Think I would've gotten there by now."

He glanced over his shoulder at Hal who bounced her tail against the sand when she caught his eye. "Hey, if we get really hungry, she might come in useful," he said, clearly joking, though Hal seemed to whine argumentatively in response.
