Looking forward to it already. [ He leans back on his seat, smiling. ] Hmm... maybe some sandwiches? Something easy to eat out here. I didn't exactly bring cutlery along.

[jolting]

Sandwiches. Got it. [He gets out his device so he can make the order, letting James offer some input into what will go into the sandwiches even though he knows the other man's preferences very well]

While we're waiting, want to pick out constellations? [Stargazing is a pretty standard romantic moment, but why mess with a classic?]

[winscenario]

[ He looks up at the sky at Victor's suggestion. ] They're all different from back home.

[ Still, he shifts on the seat, lying down with his head resting on Victor's lap. This way he can get a nice view of the night sky— as well as the doctor himself, of course. ]

[jolting]

So? Are you saying you can’t make any up? It’s like that game of finding shapes in clouds, except it’s stars.

[winscenario]

Alright, alright! No need to be such a grump. [ He huffs, grinning, then starts tracing along the stars as he tries to find patterns. ]

Mmm, those look like... a fish. And there— a boat? What can you see?

[jolting]

[He was trying to be teasing. Did it come out wrong? James is smiling, so maybe he’s teasing back]

Hm. Yeah, I see the boat, too. And that could be a deer or a horse.

[winscenario]

[ He definitely took it as teasing, yes. No need for Victor to worry about Jim taking it the wrong way. He is smiling after all. ]

Definitely a deer. You can see the antlers.

[jolting]

Mmm, I see it now. [He falls quiet for a moment] We’ll go up there and fly through them all.

[winscenario]

Well, not necessarily through them, but— closer to them.

[ His arm leans to the side, fingers brushing down Victor's nose, then across his lips. ] You're cute.

[jolting]

You know what I mean.

[His smile warms, his own fingers weaving through James's hair. Not so worried about messing up the style anymore]

You're not so bad yourself, captain.

[winscenario]

[ His smile widens, and he wiggles his head a little on Victor's lap. ]

Yes, I know.

[ Winking at Victor, he reaches for the doctor's hand, threading their fingers together. ]

[jolting]

[He could just sit here like this all night. And probably would, if he didn't have to get up to retrieve their sandwich order and pay the delivery person]

I don't suppose you brought a blanket or something, did you?

[winscenario]

Actually... I came prepared.

[ He sits up, stealing a quick peck from Victor's lips before he heads back inside to retrieve a nice warm blanket, large enough for the both of them. ]

[jolting]

[He raises an eyebrow, watching with curiosity until James comes back with a blanket. Somehow, this doesn't surprise him. He waits for it to be arranged, then he puts their food out and grabs the wine and even tries aiming the music in their direction]

You do the toast this time.

[winscenario]

[ Jim takes a seat on the blanket, balancing the glasses on the floor and filling them up a little before handing one of them to Victor. ]

I'll toast to... improbabilities. And multidimensional wormholes.

[jolting]

[He can't help but snort at that]

Wow. You are such a nerd. I love it. [He clicks their glasses together and takes a sip]

[winscenario]

[ He laughs, nudging Victor's leg lightly. ]

What? They're both things that brought me to you. Or you to me, whatever.

[ After clinking their glasses together he takes a sip, setting the glass down on a smooth rock nearby so he won't knock it down while they eat. ]

[jolting]

Well, of course they are. And you being a nerd is exactly why I messaged you. I love that we're both nerds.

[He grins, sneaking a kiss before concentrating on eating]

[winscenario]

If that's what piqued your interest about me, then I can hardly complain.

[ Scooting a little closer, he starts unwrapping the sandwich, taking a bite with a satisfied little hum. ]

[jolting]

Well, it's not like my friendr profile at the time would've caught your interest, so it's good yours was so appealing.

[He shifts so they could be close without getting in each other's way as they eat]

[winscenario]

Your picture would've caught my interest, if nothing else. You're pretty hot, you know.

[ He winks at Victor teasingly. ]

[jolting]

Yeah, I know. Good looks, old money and I'm a doctor. Just the type of person you'd want as a suitor.

[He winks back]

[winscenario]

[ He laughs around a mouthful of sandwich. ]

Mm, yeah.That's definitely the only thing I really care about.

[jolting]

Lucky me. [He smirks, going back to his own sandwich. See, he can make good jokes]

[winscenario]

[ He finishes his sandwich quickly and mostly in silence, then he tugs off his blazer and rolls up his sleeves before lying back on the blanket, looking up at the night sky. ]

It's really nice, out here.
