::Open RP - A's Garden::

It was a lovely day, really.

Even if the weather had been less than ideal, A would have gone to the garden. The plants needed to be tended, after all, and right now he's kneeling by the catnip bed, pulling out the few weeds that have dared to encroach on his territories.

Now that he has a computer with an internet connection, A is Discovering music, and he's singing, very badly, as he weeds.


"Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for, true love from me
"


He can't carry a tune, but there's an odd hiccuping tone to his voice that's a clear attempt to mimic Buddy Holly.

"It means a lot to me that you care," L admits quietly, resting back against the headboard and holding on to A in turn. That is completely true. He's gotten a little too used to people expecting him to die, informing him calmly that it'll happen, accepting it.

"But Mello's right. We can talk about letting it happen and not letting it happen, changing or not changing it when you're rested, calm, and ready to have a longer discussion. He'll tell us everything that's going to happen, and we'll talk about it from there."

And, I'll leave out the digs I put in when I told L. "For now, the best thing to do is breathe, rest, and let the cats purr at you. I promise, the whole story, all of it, just not right now. L is safe for now and will continue to be until after you hear it." I give him a slightly wry smile. "I'll even stand guard if you want."

"Blow your nose, dearest" L instructs, handing him a kleenex and smoothing his hair back, so it isn't in his face. They're both getting to be in need of haircuts, actually.

I've seen that look, I know I have. It was the same look he had in the room with B, only not as intense. I'm not going to be overly concerned about it until later, though. "You rest. I'll watch over both of you and the cats."

L yawns, hoping it'll be contageous, and leans back against the pillows, taking the kleenex and dropping it on the bedside table.

I slip off the bed over to the desk. There are books to read here while they're resting. The time won't be completely wasted. I think about pulling out the derringer in my boot, but I'd rather not tempt A. I do turn the desk chair so I can watch the room, the window and the door, though. "Get some rest, A."

"Think about the Christmas menu," he instructs, brushing his fingers through A's hair again, "and all the wonderful things we'll make.

Mello, there's dark chocolate in the top drawer of the desk, and help yourself to the bookshelf." He adjusts the pillows so he's resting more comfortably. He intends to nap.
