part 46

“Let’s gosomewhere together,” Étienne broke the comfort of the silence, sometime later,when the television had gone black and whatever they had been watching ended. They’dremained on the sofa together, legs twined together, using each other as blanketand pillow and it had been all rather lovely, not having to say anything tofill the silence. Edward looked up from the folds of Étienne’s sweatshirt andfrowned slightly, wondering what wavelength Étienne was riding and where he wasgoing with his thought, “I mean – we have access to more money than we everthought we would ever have and, well, we’ve never been on a proper honeymoon,right?”

Edward felt his cheeks colour at the word and he tried not topicture what a honeymoon meant, for regular, real couples who got married anddid such a thing. “Let’s fuck off somewhere warm for a week or two – or three –get away from this shit post-Christmas depression and crap weather. Just you,me and some beautiful beach. I think it’ll do us good – to get away fromeverything. It’s just what we need to bounce back from this funk.” Edward knew his friend was right. This month feltlike it had lasted ages and perhaps a vacation would be a good break from hislife and the perfect way to bury the last of the memories of Carl  once andfor all. “Alright,” He conceded, not that he needed any real excuse to run awaysomewhere with Étienne, “Where to?”

Étiennesat up a little straighter, maybe surprised that Edwardwas so willing to humour him on this rather sudden idea, but he seemed pleasednonetheless. “Anywhere,” He said, “Anywhere you want to go – you pick,” Headded hastily. “You’ve been so good with this whole farce – the least youdeserve is an all expenses paid trip by yours truly to wherever you want to go.It doesn’t matter where,” Edwardquirked an eyebrow at that and Étienne cut him off before he could sayanything, “Just – no Antarctic penguin safari – I want to go somewhere warm.” Edwardlaughed and pouted at the same time and sat up all the same, crossing his armsand tried to look as dejected as possible, “But – what if my lifelong dream wasto go on an emperor penguin safari?” He asked, mock serious.

Étienne followedhim up into a sitting position and shook his head, “Nope, not for ourhoneymoon. You can go by yourself if you want, I’ll even fly your first class,or whatever, you can send me all the photos and adopt all the penguins, but youain’t getting me there.” Edward laughed at his antics, shoved at his chestplayfully, and relented, “Alright, alright, no Antarctic adventures, I’ll findsome warm, exotic location for our honeymoon; maybe something like Mexico, orthe Florida Keys,” He joked and got hit by a pillow for his troubles.

I know. Its more to do with the fact that I don’t have much experience with marches and other events like this.

Me: *looks at phone* Ah, there's a nice ripe crop of Hapo antics today

Me: Mmm, looks like the Karina shenanigans are still in bloom, they bloom so rarely
