Out and Abut in New Orleans, Sunday [5/20]

May 20, 2007 18:36

Those credit card companies really should do an add about visiting New Orleans' French Quarter and its market, out and in public with your lover, for the first time.

But, as far as Vlad was concerned, there was nothing about this trip that wasn't priceless ( Read more... )

What to pay attention to first? The people? The buildings? The sounds?

The man he was with?

It was difficult to choose.

He leaned closer to Vlad until their arms touched and smiled up at him. What luxury to be able to do that in public.

"We must do this again."

Vlad returned the smile. He nodded and touched Walter's cheek.

"We'll make it our city, shall we?"

"Yes."

Walter wasn't publicly demonstrative, generally. Culture and necessity had conspired to ensure he had little difficulty staying restrained as necessary in public.

But now? How could he not take advantage, however briefly, of an opportunity for people to know, when they looked at him with Vlad, that there were two people in love?

So, a kiss, quickly brushed against the vampire's lips before turning to a fruit stall to buy a fresh apple.

Vlad smiled, fairly buzzing at that simple, chaste kiss.

After sixty years of being forced to keep themselves secret, being able to touch each other and smile and joke and be perfectly at ease with who they were and what they meant to one another was exhilerating.

Walter had put aside thoughts of... pretty much anything other than being with Vlad. Now, though....

He'd told Nadia he would tell Vlad and he wasn't going to turn back on that. He knew the difference between love and infatuation, and he wasn't infatuated with Nadia.

Still, telling his lover was not something he looked forward to.

He had his suitcase on the bed, but he wasn't putting anything in it yet.

"Vlad...."

Vlad looked up from his suitcase where he'd just been about to take out the souvenir he'd managed to buy for and hide from Walter.

"Yes, Angel?"

Moments like these reminded Walter why he'd told himself before that he was ill-suited for love.

He didn't want to do this part.

"We need to talk about something and I know you aren't going to like it."

To say the least.

Vlad tucked the pocket watch back in the corner of his suitcase and pushed the lid closed.

He furrowed his brow and held out his hand to Walter. He no thoughts to be on his guard just yet. This was Walter, after all.

"What is it, Angel?"

His voice was concerned as he wondered what could be bothering Walter after these two wonderful days.
