Drive-in. [powered_otaku]

[sweetsalome]

    It was a nice, warm summer night, the sun had gone down and it had cooled down to the point where you could sit outside and not sweat.  The drive in, was two screens, a parking lot, and hills that surrounded the parking lot and gave a perfect view of the cars and the screen.  Salome had walked from her house, and bought two tickets before climbing up on one of the hills and spread the blanket her grandmother had given her.

A grandmother, yeah that was still weird.

Sitting down on the blanket, she put the basket down next to her and took out a bottle of water.  Once she took a long drink, she text messaged Hiro to know that she was there.  Hopefully he would be able to spot her.

"You are not twisted. Your father did this to you. You just learned to enjoy it because if you did, he would praise you or give you something or would just even stop. You weren't allowed to be the same as other girls your age." His voice is quiet in her ear and she feels him kiss her there. "There is nothing wrong with you. Your father taught you to react to certain cues. The problem is him. Not you."

"Mmm, yours. I want to see you in yours."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

She sags against his chest, exhaling slowly at his words. It was as if she had been holding her breath for a very long time, waiting for some kind of response, obviously a bad one. "Then it makes it okay, what I want, what I enjoy?" Reaching down she picks up his hand and places it over her stomach, and she smiles a little bit.

The smile grows a bit more as her fingers tighten around his. "Next time I see you, I'll wear it for you."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Yes, whatever is enjoyable to you. Whatever you crave. It is not sick." His eyes are incredibly gentle. "I may not be able to give you that, but that is my failure, not something wrong with you. One day I hope you no longer need it, but I understand that it may not be possible."

He kisses her hand. "Mmm, I look forward to that."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Turning in his arms, she looks up at his face. His gentle eyes melt her, there is no way to deny him or the peace he gives her. When she touches his cheek, she sighs softly. "You aren't a failure just because you don't want to smack me around." Tugging on his hand she leads him to the bed and smiles, as much as she doesn't want to, she knows she'll have to go.

"Hold me for just a little bit, and then we'll go back, okay?" Climbing up on the bed, she kneels and waits for him.

He follows her to the bed and gets behind her so she can rest in his arms. "May I ask you some very stupid questions?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"You can ask me whatever questions you want, darling." Laying down, she urns and snuggles into his arms.

"What is your favorite color? What flowers do you like? What is the silliest thing you have ever done?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"My favorite color is blue, or yellow, which ever is brightest. My favorite flower is daisies, but I love them all because they are so gorgeous." She falls silent trying to think of silly things, then, it hits her. "Uhhh, I dress up in a bear suit and make people laugh."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Yellow is my favorite color." He files away the fact that she likes daisies and all kinds of flowers.

"A bear suit?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Really?! That's neat, it's good to know that we both like the same color, it's so bright, how can you not like it?!"

Mentally she's beating herself up, it does sound a little crazy, but she grins anyway. "Sure, try and be unhappy in a bear suit, plus everyone likes a bear hug."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"It is the color of the sun when it is high in the sky. I like the day. It is warm and bright. It is hard to be sad when the sun is shining."

"Can I see the bear suit?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"It is hard to be sad when the sun is shining, when the wind is warm and smells like summer and flowers. It's wonderful, and one of the best feelings in the world."

Sighing she starts to giggle, putting her hand over her face. "Uh-huh, you can see the bear suit, not now but sooner or later. Why do you want to see it?!"

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I like to eat lunch outside. It feels so much better when I am not cooped up in the building all day."

"I am curious about the bear suit. " He imagines it's rather silly, but he really has to see her in this thing.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"I can't imagine being stuck in a building all day, that has to be butt numbing." She giggles and entwines her legs with his. "If you could be any animal, what would you be?"

She can't stop giggling, and as she does so, she snorts, which makes her giggle even more. "I BET you are! Oh, we'll have fun with it."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"My butt does get numb a lot. That is why we do exercises every day. To keep up our strength." Although the exercises can be extremely boring. "I would be a dog. They are smart and loyal and they help people a lot."

When she snorts, he starts giggling. When she starts laughing more, he starts laughing. "Bear with it?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"You get to go out and have recess during the middle of your work day?! That's kinda cool." She never heard of that before, it doesn't sound so bad. "Mmm I like that, but I can't see you as a dog. You are loyal, sweet and helpful though."

His pun makes her groan through her laughter, she pushes his shoulder weakly. "Oh Hiro! That is a bad pun!" That doesn't stop her from stopping laughing.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"We have a little park on the roof of the building, so that we will feel more relaxed and refreshed. It even has grass." He cocks his head a little. "You cannot see me as a dog? I like dogs. I think I would be a good Akita."

He laughs with her when he realizes just what he said.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Do you like that? I mean the park on top of your roof." Sitting up on her elbow, she brushes her hair away from her face and studies him. "A good Akita, but I just can't see you with floppy ears and a tail." Reaching over she started to scratch the top of his head.

When her giggles began to calm down she sighed happily, "I love you, completely and utterly. Bad puns and all."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"A very small park. It is only part of the roof, but it has little trees and grass. I hear that some American cities like New York are putting gardens on roofs to help with pollution." Hiro pants like a dog and shakes his butt like he's wagging his tail.

"I am glad you can love me despite my awful puns."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"I know some houses that have private gardens, but I wasn't aware that they were putting parks on roofs though." Giggling she scratches behind his ear, "awh good Akita, very good boy! Gimmie kiss?" She pointed to her cheek, getting into the dog act.

"I'll love you no matter what."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"It makes sense, though. Gases rise, so the gardens being up high helps get the gases that escape from below." Still wagging his butt, Hiro licks her on the cheek.

"That is a good thing because I may make some horrible puns unintentially, too."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"It does make sense, I'm glad it works out in the end." Laughing, she wipes the saliva from her cheek and lays down next to him, watching him with bright eyes.

"Well, there are worse thing you could be making. Do you have any other questions for me?" She goes back to rubbing behind his ear before kissing him slowly.

"I know your favorite place is the beach, but beside the beach in Nassau, what is your favorite one? What places in the world have you seen and which ones do you want to see?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm. . .I need to think about that." She was thoughtful for a minute before speaking. "I really like, Tulum Beach in Cancun, and there are a lot of beaches I'd like to see. I mean Brazil is just, well, amazing when it comes to them, but I've never been."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Do you want to go to Brazil at Carnivale? It would be warm down there at that time since it is in the southern hemisphere."
