I aM tHe WaLrUs

[Bunny_grl07]

I agree! They serve tuna for sandwiches every day here <3

Lucy threw her arms around him and kissed him passionately in return, stroking the back of his neck with her finger. Playfully, she unzipped his coat, and slid her arms around him, managing to zip his coat up around the both of them. "I like sharing," she murmured against his lips, giggling somewhat childishly.

OOOO: You posted at 11:11 xDD

My Dad often makes them. Mum hates mayonnaise, so we just smile and say, "More for us, then!"

Asher had no idea how she had managed to get them both into his coat, but he wasn't complaining about the snugness of it all. He chuckled a bit, from deep within his chest and murmured, "I have to say, I do, too." He wrapped his arms back around her and started to French kiss her without warning.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Lucy felt her heart skip a beat when he kissed her like that, and she couldn't help emitting a soft groan into the kiss. She french kissed him passionately in return, tugging at his shirt under his coat. He was so warm compared to the chilly night air, and it made it harder for her not to get too into it.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I also love chicken sandwiches.

Asher smiled at getting some sort of satisfactory reaction from her-- he liked to hear her make noises like that; it told him she was enjoying herself. He was enjoying himself, too. Probably far more than he should have been considering the time and the place, but he couldn't help himself.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Me too!!!

I'm gonna get going. =) talk to you tomorrow!

Lucy groaned again, leaning into the kiss even more, sliding her hands up inside his shirt, touching his skin gently. She couldn't help it; when he caught her off guard like he had when he started kissing her, she was more easily swayed.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

You and I are connected somehow, I swear. Three nights this week I have been here, have thought, 'this will be my last post' and you also happen to go at that exact moment, too.

Weird xD

Lucy's hands felt so warm against Asher's chest that he couldn't help but let out a small noise of content and pleasure. He loved it when she kissed him lke this, and particularly because they had gone for so long without kissing on the lips at all. He wasn't entirely sure from then on how much longer he could continue with the thought that this was as far as things could surely go looming above their heads.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

That is really weird!!!

But kind of cool at the same time xD

Lucy withdrew slowly, a smile forming on her lips as she stared up at Asher intently. "Wow," she breathed-- although it was more of a gasping sound after what had just happened between them. "You're really warm. I like being like this." She cuddled closer to him, burying her face in his chest.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah, it must be some kind of trans atlantic telepathic connection ;D

"Wow is right," Asher said, struggling to breath for a moment or two. It was amazing that she had that effect on him. "I love being this close to you," he murmured, burying his face in her hair, tightening his arms around her, not really intending to walk anywhere for the moment.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Of course it is! And good morning/afternoon/evening to you!

"I love it just as much, Asher!" Lucy whispered excitedly, beaming at him, before rubbing her nose against his. She buried her face in his neck then, giving a soft hum of delight as they shielded each other from the cold of the night. "This is nice," she murmured softly, letting her eyes close as she remained pressed tightly to him.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Good afternoon to you, too

Though it is evening now over here. Afternoons are definitely getting noticably shorter.

"I can't wait to hold you this close every day, for the rest of my life, with you as my beautiful wife," Asher whispered, smiling down at her adoringly. One of his hands wandered, finding itself in her hair, cradling her head while she leaned against him. "And to spend a real winter with you, loving holding you like this to keep you warm at night. It is nice." He planted a few kisses on her neck and murmured, "More than I love anthing, though, I love you, Lucy McClintock."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Oh goodness, fall is on its way! I love autumn.

Lucy giggled softly, her breath floating to the air in steam, curling and drifting upwards towards the starry sky. Lucy couldn't help watching it as it rose, smiling slightly. She groaned softly when he kissed her neck, the color rushing to her face. "I love you too," Lucy whispered, although she was barely able to manage it.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Tomorrow is the first official day of autumn. I never forget that

I've just finished making my famous cupcakes =D

Asher smiled slightly against her skin when she groaned, apparently satisfied with her reaction. He murmured, "You don't know how hard it's been to keep myself from being like this with you. Goodness knows how I survived a whole year without so much as even holding your hand."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Isn't tomorrow your birthday as well? =D

Lucy said, "Of course I know how hard it's been! I was in the exact same boat as you, Asher." She giggled quietly, then moved so she could get a good look at him, grinning. "The year you were gone was the hardest year of my life. I mean, I didn't realize how much being with you had become a part of my world."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Um, oh yeah, there is that, too.

"I can't say I know which must be harder. Living in New York alone where everything reminded you of me, or being somewhere totally foreign and, frankly, scary. I imagine either one must be as bad as another," Asher said thoughtfully. "I know that the minth in the hospital dragged on, it felt like a year in itself, and that I had spent two away from you instead of just over one." He smiled down at her, "And I was so afraid things between you and I would change, that you wouldn't feel the same way about me anymore.. I'm glad you never forgot about me."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

You'll be sweet sixteen!!!

Lucy smiled weakly at him, then wrapped her arms more tightly around him, as if she suddenly became afraid of letting him go. "Asher... Nothing between us will change. We may get older, sometimes we may argue, sometimes there'll be bumps in the road. But I will always love you, and always want and need you. I promise you that. And when we're married, I'll prove it to you. And I never would have forgotten you. Forgetting you is impossible."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Sweet sixteen. No sweet parties though, unfortunately. Ah well.

Gosh, I really can't believe it, though. I still think I'm 14 sometimes xD

"I know I shouldn't have worried about your feelings for me now. But don't tell me you weren't afraid things wouldn't be the same. It was impossible not to have doubts," Asher said softly. "And, really, things have changed, but not in the way I feared. The opposite; things are better than they ever were. And with each day, though I never imagine it could be possible, I grow to love you more."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I don't feel like an eighteen year old, to be honest. xD I can sign waivers and buy things I never could before. So weird...

"I was a little bit afraid, but more afraid that you would be in a total state of shell shock, or complete trauma, and that you would be the man I loved anymore. And I was afraid I wouldn't be good enough for you when you came home," Lucy murmured, planting a kiss on his chin. "But I definitely love you more with each passing day, even each hour. It's crazy, isn't it? How much you can love someone, and it overflows, and you start loving the world, and the simple things about it."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Most people say I seem much older, but I never feel it.

"It is crazy. I've never truly loved anything but my parents and my sister. I almost hated my life. I never told you this, but I used to take regular visits to doctors, who tried to figure out the reason for my asocial behavior. They said it was a mental illness. I felt stupid after that, the way they talked about me, about the way I thought I viewed my world.." Asher began. "And then there you were. I've never felt the urge to talk to someone, to start a conversation. But when I was there and I saw you, that's all I wanted to do, but I didn't know how. And in time, I got better at talking to people, I began to love my life. And then after Vietnam, I was afraid of what you would think; of the way I had changed physically. And then the attacks. I was so afraid of what you would think of me, screaming in my sleep.. I can only thank you for how well you've dealt with that."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

People say I seem younger than 18 xD

Lucy smiled up at Asher, keeping her hands pressed firmly against the skin of his chest. "I thought you were really handsome, when I first saw you. I don't know what exactly it was, but--wow. And I really did want you to talk to me, especially after I caught you staring at me. Which made me happy, by the way. And, after Richard died, I had my own series of problems."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Really? I think it's because you're preppy, and, well, you say you're short.

How tall are you, exactly?

"I really wasn't sure where to look, if I'm being honest. So I'm glad staring straight at you was the right approach," Asher laughed. He nodded and said, "You and I were two very wounded souls. We both needed someone who understood what we were going through. And I thought you were beautiful, but that you'd never be attracted to a guy like me. Most people are afraid of me."
