Leaving the campfire...

[framethestars]

Maybe we should go somewhere else, then. [Alonso is smiling when he takes Turlough's hand and leads him away from the fire and back towards town, glancing shyly at Turlough from time to time.]

[rude0and0ginger]

So where should we go, then...?

[framethestars]

Your choice... we could go back to mine, or yours... or make our own bonfire at the beach?

[rude0and0ginger]

That sounds nice. The beach. Warm fire. Warm company...

[framethestars]

No one to jump in and scare me half to death? [He's still blushing a little, but the town is fairly quiet and it doesn't take them long to get to the beach, where the Nexus has already thoughtfully set up a fire and spread out a blanket for them.]

[rude0and0ginger]

[Oh Turlough was looking forward to forging for wood with him. But this is nice too. And Turlough is lazy, so he's also grateful.]

I could scare you... If you wanted. [grins]

[framethestars]

Or... [Alonso toes off his shoes and sits down on the blanket, smiling,] we could go back to what we we were doing before I was scared like a little girl.

[rude0and0ginger]

[smiles, following suit and sits next to him]

Oh, I won't tell anyone...

[framethestars]

I should hope not. [Alonso kisses him softly,] It wouldn't make a good impression if you started telling people that your boyfriend was so easy to scare.

[rude0and0ginger]

Maybe not. [smiles, kissing him back] But...it might be funny for a while.

[framethestars]

[Alonso laughs and teases,] Then it will be your fault when I can't turn the light off at night.
