For Reeve

[emovampboy]

When it came to use of his phone, Vincent was very much like Cloud. He left it on, received messages and listened to or read them, but quite rarely responded. The few times he did respond tended to be if he deemed an actual answer to be required, or when from time to time Marlene got hold of Cloud or Tifa's phone and contacted him. Since it was so rare for her to do so, he always took it as a good thing to answer.

Which meant he had answered when she called him a few days after a message from Tifa asking him to come to a party for the girl, which he had ignored; his first mistake. Once answered, the girl had spent several minutes speaking to him, until suddenly springing the question of if he were coming to her party and making it quite impossible for him to really say no without seeming like a total heel, and so he agreed to go; his second mistake. And then he had made his third mistake - actually going.

At first, it really wouldn't have seemed to have been a bad idea. He knew everyone who was invited, how they acted around one another, and that Tifa would keep the whole group from going completely crazy over the course of the night, but he had not expected having to assist in breaking up one of Cloud and Barrett's squabbles when the woman had to leave for a short time to fetch something, and honestly he was glad that Reeve was invited and could help diffuse the situation with; especially when Yuffie and a very unhelpful Cid decided it would be a great idea to bet on who would win if they actually took to fistacuffs over whatever stupid thing it was this time which set them off.

All of this had left him rather done with company, and as soon as Tifa was back to be the adult in the situation, he'd snuck outside for some relative peace and quiet.

Quiet and serene until Vincent spoke. Reeve chuckled and moved so he was almost pressed up against Vincent. But not quite touching, of course. Then his eyes cast skyward and he breathed a pleased sigh.

"This is more beautiful than I could have imagined."

[emovampboy]

"I know everyone thinks I'm just being anti-social, but there's a reason I stay here." Never mind the fact that sometimes he was just being anti-social, so used to his own company as he was by now. "Should we set things up so you can view without craning your neck?"

[plate_builder]

Anti-social? Perhaps. Man displaced in the world, far more likely.

"Yes, we should," Reeve agrees, handing the sleeping bag off to Vincent to help him lay it out.

[emovampboy]

Whatever the reason was, it was Vincent. The rest would just have to deal with it, even Yuffie. And boy did she hate it when he hid.

Vincent takes the bag from Reeve, moving to a spot and flipping it open, working on straigtening one side and sure Reeve will get the other.

[plate_builder]

Reeve immediately moved to gather the other end and help tease it into the right position. And then he was spreading out the blanket as well, tossing a side to the other man.

"Do you have a favorite constellation?"

[emovampboy]

Vincent catches the blanket gently, pulling it into place as he responds fairly much immediately to the question; yeah, he has a favorite. "Orion. You?"



[ooc: I'm just using our constellations because it's easier okay? xD And Orion is my favorite.]

[plate_builder]

"Aquarius. It was often used by farmers to help gauge the time between the summer planting and fall harvest, and the harvest festival was my favorite," Reeve admits with a smile as he moves to lay down, now that things are ready.

[emovampboy]

"Was the festival large?" Vincent moves to lay beside Reeve. "Or merely those from your town?"

[plate_builder]

"Not large," Reeve said. "And it was more a larger region than my town. It wasn't large. But we'd come together and trade portions of the harvest. It made it easier for everyone, when you might otherwise lack."

[emovampboy]

"It sounds nice, in small portions." He glances over to his friend. "Are you warm enough out here?"

[plate_builder]

"I'd be warmer once the blankets were warmed by bodies," Reeve suggests, cuddling up under the blanket. He likes it a lot.

[emovampboy]

Vincent smiles a bit, nodding and pulls Reeve a bit closer.

"Let's see what we can find in the sky."

[plate_builder]

See, that was a good motion. Reeve snuggles closer before freeing an arm to point out the beginnings of Aquarius low in the sky.

"That's aquarius. The water bearer."

[emovampboy]

Vincent just nods softly, and will point out what few constellations he seems to know, before remarking. "You should come back at a later season. Some of the stars will have certainly moved by then, and it gives you an excuse to take a break again."

[plate_builder]

Come back at a later season. Come spend more time with Vincent, basically. And he smiled.

"I like excuses for breaks, if it is with you."

[emovampboy]

"Sounding corny again." But he doesn't mind, looking at Reeve. "I'll assume this means you are enjoying yourself, however."

[plate_builder]

"I am," Reeve agrees, turning his head from the stars to Vincent.
"Though I am torn between which lovely view I should look at."

[emovampboy]

"And again." Vincent moves a little, shifting so he can lean on an elbow, watching Reeve with a bit of amusement. "I would assume being here a few days, you would have more than enough time to stare at me. Unless you are hoping for something more than staring."

[plate_builder]

"I'm not against being distracted. But I suppose we really should consider the whole celestial aspect of our aspirations tonight."

And yet there he was, rolling onto his side to look at Vincent too.

[emovampboy]

"So, stay on your back?" So monotone, yet there's a hinted smirk there on his face.

[plate_builder]

"You'd like me on my back, wouldn't you?" Reeve teased right back, but he does roll onto his back to look to the stars.

[emovampboy]

"Would I?" He hovers where he is for a moment, seeming to debate something inside his head, before shifting to give Reeve just a small kiss; seeming to ask if he wants to just watch stars or get a little more intimate.

[plate_builder]

The kiss absolutely gets Reeve turning back to him, pressing their lips together again. This was so good. Chilly air and stars out there and kissing. This was perfect.

[emovampboy]

Vincent hasn't even noticed the chilly air yet, used to it by now and also far more focused on his guest, who has answered the unspoken question very affirmatively. An affirmative that encourages Vincent to shift from laying on his side to a more sitting position as he deepens the kiss between them, hoping Reeve understands that he intends to use a sort of give and take system to decide how far this should go.

Meaning it is up to Reeve to press further, even by a fraction, or to remain here.

[plate_builder]

Yep, he pressed toward the attention, rolling to Vicent and his hand moved to curl into the other man's hair, holding him in the kiss. This was wonderful. This was beautiful. This was what he wanted.
