"Good. I need you to believe them."

There's a vindictive part of Kyle that wants to vrow about that. David feels loved. Nobody else gave him that feeling. Just him, Kyle Broflovski. He somehow was enough.

"You are loved. Not just by me, either."

[helpdesk_hero]

"Then I will," he says, smiling with a shake of his head. And look, food was coming over to them.

But he smiled, looking at Kyle with deep fondness.

"But being loved by you is different."

[kyley_b]

Kyle laughs as he lets go of David's hands. "Yeah. My love is 'different' alright," he chuckles.

The food tastes as amazing as it smells. Alligator, it turns out, is a bit like fish and a bit like chicken and mostly just delicious.

"Dude. You gotta thank your buddy, this is awesome."

[helpdesk_hero]

Idiot. David giggles, delighted at the statement. Maybe he's a bit giddy today.

"I don't tend to. It's awkward, to thank people for things you took from their head."

[kyley_b]

Who could blame him? It's a special day.

"Oh, yeah, I guess so." He sips his water. "Man. It's so chill here. The vibe, I mean."

[helpdesk_hero]

It really is. But any day they are together is special.

"That's how this place works. They know the world will keep going, and them with it. So they relax."

[kyley_b]

Kyle nods around his sandwich. "We should try that. Relaxing, I mean," he says after swallowing.

[helpdesk_hero]

"This isn't relaxing?" David asks between bites of his own sandwich.

[kyley_b]

"Well, YES. But I mean in general, in our regular lives." He lifts an eyebrow. "We both tend to be a little tightly wound, dude."

[helpdesk_hero]

"School is definitely stressful."

ANd he knows he's a lot worse than that. Life and death situations were just horrible.

[kyley_b]

"Mmhmm. Maybe the Californian climate will mellow me the fuck out come fall." Because he's determined about this plan.

[helpdesk_hero]

"I've never known it to mellow, unless you're going to take up surfing. I could teach you."

He's just so excited about this.

"Have you started the application and transfer request?"

[kyley_b]

Kyle nods, finishing the business of demolishing his sandwich. "I sure have. As soon as I know I'm in? I'm packing my bags.

"And I'd love for you to teach me."

[helpdesk_hero]

"I'll help you pack and move if you want," David smiles.

BUt the surfing could be a lot of fun. And America, one of his best friends, was dating a girl that ran a surf shop, so they could get stuff.

[kyley_b]

"You're too sweet."

Kyle props his chin on his hand and looks at David with poorly concealed excitement. "I think it'll be good for me. I'll be closer to you, and just... The past four years, I've done pretty much nothing but study. I'll be honest, David, I felt kinda trapped."

[helpdesk_hero]

"You need a hobby that isn't boning me," David says with a smile.

[kyley_b]

Kyle blushes, jut he nods. "I know I do. I mean, I do have SOME, they've just never been a priority."

He looks out across the little restaurant. "I don't want to just sleepwalk through life."

[helpdesk_hero]

"From what I've seen, you haven't been. But you could use more fun."

[kyley_b]

He looks back, smiling warmly.

"Enough about me. We're here to celebrate your birthday."

[helpdesk_hero]

"But you're part of what I like," David counters before finishing his sandwich.

[kyley_b]

Kyle beams. "I love you so much it hurts my heart sometimes, dude. Come on, let's wander before we catch a cab over."

[helpdesk_hero]

Hurts his heart. Wow. That's emotional.

"Alright, sounds like a plan," David offered with a smile, and with his hand.

[kyley_b]

Kyle is nearly twenty-four, and he's never been in love. He's had infatuations, and confusing feelings, but never in his life has he found someone willing to give love BACK the way David is. It clouds his better judgement somewhat.

He takes David's hand readily. The streets of New Orleans are unfamiliar, but with David at his side he doesn't feel lost.

oh wow just realizing that Kyle's a SMIDGE older than David

[helpdesk_hero]

"I love the feeling here," David said. "There aren't many places in this country that really FEEL like it has a distinct culture. But here?"

There is history and so much of it.

David and his older men...

[kyley_b]

"Yeah." He grins. "I feel very white, and very dorky. But this place is awesome."
