Anniversary Date

[tempredmental]

WHO: Keith, Lance
WHERE: The Crystal Caves Hot Springs
WHAT: Anniversary Time
WHEN: Backdated to August 18th
WARNINGS: Stupid cute fluff for two husbands in love?

Keith was pretty sure he'd calculated the date right. And, with the little shadowbox he'd made for a gift, he was... well, mostly ready. It was hard to believe it had been two years already.

He had left a note for Lance to meet him at the caves on the beach. It was where he'd proposed and he felt like it could be a nice private spot to spend the evening together. While he was waiting, he sat on the edge of one of the pools, his legs dangling in the water.

Really? [Keith actually laughed.] So I thought of this and you didn't? [He gave Lance a soft playful poke in his side.]

Well, alright... then I'm asking. Is there anything you want?

[the_tailor]

Maybe I just decided to give you the relationship limelight. [He pokes right back.]

Honestly? I don't know. Is saying "just you" cheating?

[tempredmental]

Cheating? [Keith shrugged, only squirming slightly from the return poke.] I can't say it's cheating when I use that all the time. [He laughed a little.]

I'm okay with that, though. I like that.

[the_tailor]

Then there you go. That's all I want. All I need, really, in this crazy big ol' universe of ours. Well, not really ours, or maybe ours... I've given up on trying to figure that out a looooooong time ago.

[He gives him a smile and rests against him.]

[tempredmental]

Heh, yeah. Too many universes... or realities... or whatever they are.

[Honestly, dealing with a second one back home had been enough... and then Drift Fleet... and then this place... Keith wasn't sure if there was a limit on the number he wanted to think about, but, four was probably already past that.

He shifted a bit so they were more comfortable in the water, stealing a quick kiss.]

So... just two guys, sitting in the water, cuddled together because we're totally married?

[Was that bad? That was bad... Keith wasn't good at meme-ing.]

[the_tailor]

[Over all these years, Lance had learned to go with the flow when it came to these kinds of things. But it still never quite made it less confusing in the end once he put any sort of thought into it.]

Babe... You memeing is one of the greatest presents you could give me.

[tempredmental]

[Keith shook his head.]

No. No, it's not. I'm terrible at it.

[Look, he was self-aware enough to know when he sucked at something.]

[the_tailor]

You did a good job just there!

[He points it out, trying to be encouraging. Maybe it'll give Keith the confidence to meme even more.]

[tempredmental]

You're just saying that because you're biased. It's your job to be nice to me.

[Or something like that blah blah husband blah blah.]

[the_tailor]

[He shook his head.]

Of course I'm biased, but I wasn't biased in my journey of getting to be biased.

[tempredmental]

[Keith snorted.]

No. I guess not on that.

[It was no secret that they'd been really abrasive to one another early on.]

Like, I legit thought you hated me for the longest time.

[the_tailor]

I thought you did, too. Which is part of why I acted the way I did for so long...

[He sighed, giving Keith a very light kick underneath the water.]

We really were idiots, weren't we?

[tempredmental]

Hey... [Keith gave him a bit of a pout.] I'm not an idiot. I'm just bad at people-ing.

[No, he could definitely be an idiot, but he was also still bad at people-ing.]
