I aM tHe WaLrUs

[KERFUFFLE]

I'm good, very good, thank you

And you? How are you feeling now?

Asher smiled and told her, "On the contrary, I love it when you tell me how you feel." His eyes looked soft and adoring as he spoke, holding her close. "You should never have to feel silly or embarrassed around me. That's something that took me a long time to realise for myself, but now I know that around you, I don't have to be anybody else just to please you." He returned her kiss with a smile and said, "I think about those moments every day. You're right, every time feels like the first time, but all the while, I feel like I've known you forever."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Well, I'm ill. Not fun D:

But I'm feeling okay!

Lucy giggled and said, "Well then, it's a good thing you chose me to be the one you spend the rest of your life with. I couldn't imagine my own life any other way." She cuddled close to him for a few moments, then climbed down and went back to steering, a smile of delight stuck on her face. "Okay Asher, where should we go? Are there any docks on the other side of the lake or anything, or are we just going around and around in the water?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Ah, still? That's not good at all! ): Get better soon. Oh, and, I shall speak to you when your internet returns!

I'm glad you're doing alright, though :3

"Well, me neither. I wouldn't want it any other way," Asher replied with a smile, giving her a quick kiss before he let her go steer again. He looked out and pointed off in the distance. It was one of the bigger lakes in the area, and there was a place to dock across from them, somewhere out there. It would be about the perfect amount of time for a sailing to get from where they were to there. "I'll direct you as we go, okay, just go ask you are for now," he told her, moving the sails over slightly to catch the wind better.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Sooo, my internet hasn't gone yet. It's weirdddddd... Dx

And yeah, me too! :3

Lucy returned the kiss while it lasted, then diverted her gaze to the horizon, squinting to try and see the dock he was describing. Unable to see it clearly, she followed the directions Asher gave her, trusting his sense of direction more than her own. "So, what's on the other side of the lake, anyway? Are there other towns and such?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

That is odd. So they've cut it off, but it's still working...?

How're you feeling today? Better, I hope?

"There are. It's actually the most direct way to get on the road to Helena. Obviously, the fact is that not many people can use it because their cars would be on the other side of the lake, but it is a fact, none the less," Asher chuckled. "There're towns slightly bigger than my own, other areas of natural beauty. We have it all here," he smiled and kept directing her. Yes, it wasn't exactly possible to see the dock from where they were. He just knew that it was there.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Apparently it's not cut off yet! So weird...

Well, I'm feeling better, and I sang in a choir and stuff earlier. And now I have to get ready for tech week of the play I'm in! WOO

Lucy looked around and commented, "You do. You really do. It's so fresh and clean here-- especially compared to New York City. I do kind of miss the chaos and speed of the city, but... wow, this is so nice. And I feel like a lot of people would just pass by this area without even looking, you know? It's crazy!" She glanced at Asher before turning her attention back to the direction she was going. "So, what are we going to do on the other side, baby?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

That is odd. Ahh well, it's nice to hear from you anyway =D

That's great to hear, I'm glad you're better! And have fun with tech week

"It's kind of nice to know that we have somewhere like this to visit every so often, when we want a break from the city," Asher said. He couldn't quite believe he was saying it, really, considering the last time he'd left he'd had no desire to return soon at all. But not relationships were repaired and he was happy about that. He then said, "To be honest, I'm not really sure. I guess the aim was to take you out sailing, and now we're pulling in somewhere, but I'm sure we'll find something to do."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

It's nice to talk to you too! =D

I'll try. I love my cat makeup though, it's so fun! :3

How are you?

Lucy pulled her hair out of her face, contemplating how the rest of their day would go. In all honesty, she didn't care what they did, as long as she was with him. Having him back with her was something she would never take for granted again. What had happened-- him leaving, the note of death-- it seemed like it had just happened that morning, and yet, it felt like it had been years and years since they'd gone through that pain. Of course, she caught herself staring at Asher again, admiring his face and body, which caused her to get all jittery and blush.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Cat makeup? Sounds interesting

I'm great, thank you. Today was Speech Day, where people are given prizes for subjects and such. I knew I was getting a prize, but I didn't know what in. I found out on the actual day that I'd won awards for five subjects =D

How about you?

Asher didn't notice how Lucy was looking at him, too busy tying, tightening or loosening ropes, swinging the sail from one side of the helm to the other when need be. He wasn't thinking much at all, actually, really just how nice it was to be doing this, he really felt free again. He pointed out the place where they could moor up and he said, "So you see it now? It's not too far at all, so just be a little lighter with your steering."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Oh yeah. It's so much fun to wear. =D

That's so awesome! What awards did you get? :0

I'm pretty good, just relaxing. XD

Lucy let the boat drift toward the dock, making sure not to get too close to that the side of the boat wouldn't scrape against it. She still couldn't help glimpsing at Asher now and then, that feeling in her stomach getting stronger each time. She tried to ignore it so she wouldn't wreck the boat, but it was very hard for her to do. Once they were basically docked, Lucy waited for Asher to tie off the boat before she moved away from her position and the wheel.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

What show are you doing? The only musical I know with cats in is.. well.. Cats. xD

Art, Music, History, French and Science =D

Good to hear. Best way to do things, I say

Asher tied everything up, and then took Lucy's hand gently to help her step off of the boat and onto the boardwalk at the dock. He then hopped over after her and took her into his arms, smiling widely and giving her a quick but passionate kiss. "Great job, sailor," he said afterwards, pressing his lips to her forehead.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

It's called "Santa's Spectacles". I'm the feline of the show, lol. My costume is probably the best, and the hair and makeup, too. You'll be seeing pics soon, promise! =D

Holy cow! That's so awesome! Congrats, you definitely deserve them!

Ph, btw.... you need to get your gay-dar fixed, lol. Just saying. =P

Lucy laughed and kissed him back, giving him a quick, "Well thanks, skipper," in return, holding him tightly. She tried to step around him and run to the actual shore, but ended up slipping, falling backwards into the muddy, freezing cold water. When she surfaced, she was coughing and sputtering wildly, a mixture of bewilderment and humor on her face. She swam to the shore and pulled herself out of the water, her hands skinned a bit, her jeans torn and knees bloody from some rocks that were in the muddy lake bottom. Teeth chattering and body shaking, she stammered, "I-I-I'm.... okay!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Awesome, I can't wait! Break a leg.

Thank you

Uhh... whyyy? OOOOO:

"Lucy!" Asher cried when she fell, running down to get her out, picking her up very gently and holding her close. "Are you okay?" he asked her as he wiped some of the dirt and mud and water away from her face and started to head to the nearest place that was warm and he could get some things to patch up her hands and knees. He knew the owners of a nearby restaurant who could happily help him out, so he took her there. They easily obliged, and sat her down. Because of the cold weather as well as the water, Asher didn't want her to get cold. So, he first took of his sweater, and then unbuttoned his shirt, not caring if anybody else saw, and draped it around her, followed by putting his sweater on her as well. They then all helped to patch and clean her up. "Alright now?" Asher asked her when they were all done, not able to help himself but chuckle quietly at the thought of her falling in. "Guess you didn't need me to push you in after all."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Thanks! I'll try to break two! xD

You're very very welcome! So what did the awards entail and stuff?

Because I have noticed a pattern in men you like! They turn out to be gay or taken! Mostly gay =P

Lucy obliged willingly, shivering and quaking until they got inside the restaurant, then sat down and wrapped her arms around herself. She finally started feeling warm and dry, and thanked the others for helping her. Upon hearing Asher chuckle, she stuck out her tongue at him and blew a raspberry in his direction. "Gee, you big meanie! Make fun of my tragic fall, then!" She crossed her arms and playfully huffed. Burrowing down further into Asher's sweater and shirt, she pulled the collar up above her ears, which were very chilly. "But no, you didn't need to push me after all. You big meanie!" She sneezed a couple times then added, "I think I'm fine now, though! Just a little bit sniffly." She giggled and went to give Asher a kiss and a hug.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Alright, sounds good to me

Basically it was for hard work and achievements in particular subjects since last year.

Well, yes, but I knew that anyway xD

Asher covered his mouth with his hand for a moment to stifle another chuckle. "I'm sorry.. It's just..well, it was a little bit amusing," he said as he stood up fully again from being previously crouched to be at her level. He smiled and returned her kiss and hug, and said, "I am glad that you're okay, though. It was quite a fall, and it's pretty cold in there. He had noticed the owners of the restaurant watching him with her, and staring, in fact, at his battlescars, but he paid them no attention for the moment.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD It's a pretty fun show, I'm definitely ready to get it started.

Awesome! It's great that you're getting rewarded for your hard work!

=P Oh, have you seen across the universe?

Lucy giggled and cuddled closer to his chest, planting a couple kisses on his skin gently. "Well, maybe it was a little bit funny at first, but then it got cold and a little bit painful..." She trailed off, remembering that he was, in fact, shirtless-- and in public, too, holding her tightly. She blushed slightly, giving him his shirt back, but keeping the sweater on. She noticed the owners staring at him, and she didn't like the way they looked at his scars. "Hey Asher, why don't we get some lunch here, then continue on our way for the rest of the afternoon?" She grinned, then took his hand and led him to a booth, sitting down across from him, taking one of his hands under the table. "Even though I fell in the water, I've had a great time today."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I miss shows! But, the Christmas concert was good, so I'm fine

I was just really surprised. I mean, even getting one is a big deal!

I haven't, actually.

"I know, it did look painful," Asher agreed, nodding slightly. He took his shirt from her and put it back on now that she was a little bit warmer. He was quite glad to be putting it back on, actually. Even though he knew the family well, and he liked them, he found the way that they were looking at his scars unnerving, and he already had lost a lot of self confidence because of them as it was. He sat down and squeezed her hand when she felt her fingers entwine with his under the table. He smiled and said, "I'm glad, and I'd hoped that it wouldn't ruin things for you."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Do you know if you guys are doing any shows soon? Or will it just be concerts for this year?

And you got FIVE!? That's really awesome!!!

Oh my gosh, you need to. You would LOVE it! The guy who plays the main character is sooo gorgeous, and he can actually sing. And then there's a guy who's like Jimmi Hendrix in his style of clothes and his guitar playing. It's pretty cool.

Lucy suddenly checked her left hand,and let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw that her ring had not fallen off of her finger. However, it did have a little bit of mud on it, so she used a napkin and wiped it off, humming tunelessly. "It really hasn't. Besides, we have the rest of the day to make things completely wonderful." She laughed and gave his hand a squeeze before looking at the menu, chewing her lower lip as she decided what she wanted to eat. In the end, she just chose a simple sandwich with some french fries and a coke. She hadn't had soda in forever, and so she was excited to finally be able to drink it again, not only because it was available, but because she actually had an appetite. "Oh! We should get a milkshake to share with each other!" Beaming she looked up at the waiter and ordered a chocolate milkshake with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

No, no shows this year. One every two years, because they do a music tour in between.

Haha, yeah. It was news to me, too, when I actually got them xD

Oh, that does sound good =D

I just checked out the main guy. In the IMDb photo he looks like a cross between Paul McCartney and Aston Kutcher xD

Asher decided on a burger with some fries, because he was actually pretty starving-- probably from all the sail hoisting and such from earlier, as well as having fewer muffins than usual for breakfast. A milkshake sounded really good right then, too. He ordered his food and then said, "I could really go for a milkshake right now. Good choice." He paused for a moment because he was about to change the subject, and then he asked her, "So, how did you find your experience of sailing?"

Oh, man, this would look so like in the diner scene in Grease 'cause Asher's gorgeous and black haired with his leather jacket and Lucy's blonde, small and beautiful.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

That's sad-ish. Awesome about the music tour, sad about not having shows D:

So it was a surprise? Those are the best kinds of awards!

Which means he is a tall glass of water, right? lol

Lucy couldn't help but giggle at Asher's much larger order, and said to him, "I might steal a few bites of your burger if you aren't careful!" She then made a playfully silly face at him before drinking her soda. It tasted amazing to her, energizing and fresh. It had been so long since she had tasted soda, but she used to drink orange soda all the time. hey would have to buy some at some point. "I loved sailing," Lucy replied to his question, grinning from ear to ear. "It was really exciting to be steering and stuff. And to feel the lake breeze on my face. I hope that the ocean isn't too difficult to manage for us. Well, for me, anyway. You'll be just fine."
