[David lays down beside Kyle with a smile. He looks so beautiful.]

I want to be special for you. So that I'm managing it makes me happy.

[kyley_b]

[Kyle stretches, unaware that David is enjoying how he looks.] David, you were special long before you met me.

[He looks up, smiling.] So! What else you wanna do on vacation? Sleep in? Make a bunch of waffles? Go hiking?

[helpdesk_hero]

Perhaps, but it's being with you that makes me feel most special.

But sleeping in is a serious idea. And cooking for you. But you know you get to pick some too.

[kyley_b]

Hey, I could make YOU the waffles. Uhm, I dunno, I feel like you have less downtime than me, so we should focus on you, but...

[He thinks.] We could go to the California Academy of Sciences? And I'd go hiking, if we can. And I heard there's whale tours.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Okay, that does actually sound like a nice thing. To be spoiled by Kyle.]

Definitely cool with you cooking if you want to take the time, and the Academy of Sciences would be good. We'll see what we can fit around those?

[kyley_b]

Sure! I can cook. Just promise not to nitpick me until after we've digested.

Sounds perfect.

[helpdesk_hero]

You'll be cooking for me, why would I ever nitpick it?

[That was just weird, so he'd leave it alone. Like, he's not that judgemental is he?]

I'm glad that it does.

[kyley_b]

Uh, because you do? It's fine, it's because you're a gourmet chef, I know.

[He turns to beam at David.]

Hey, beautiful. I'm just glad to actually relax with you. I know I was extra crabby the last few months.

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm a lot of things. That doesn't mean I have to have control over everything around me.

[Beautiful, huh? David smiles and lays down to consider his love.]

Yeah, we take turns at super crabby. ANd that's okay.

[kyley_b]

David, honey, I love you SO much but you're a bit of a control freak. You must know that.

Yeah. I'm worse than you, though. [Idly, he traces a libe up David's arm with one finger.]

This year will be better.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Okay, he is, and it makes him laugh. Don't call him out so much.]

Oh? I hope it will. I want to see it work out, a lot. Happiness for us.

[kyley_b]

I think so. I feel better having decided to just like. Reevaluate life.

[helpdesk_hero]

Reevaluate huh? I wish you luck with that.

{because David is refusing to interfere with that.]

[kyley_b]

[Snort.]

Thanks? It'll affect you too.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know it will, but me? I'm adaptable. I can go to any place and still get home and to work. Which means you need a bit more flexibility from me.

[kyley_b]

Yes and no. I mean, we moved here specifically for the time zone difference. It matters. YOU matter.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know that, but...

[How did he say that he wasn't sure how the team would hold together without Lorna? Jean-Paul seemed so much to depend on her when things started. Would he want to keep going?]

[kyley_b]

But what?

[He looks at David, all warm concern.]

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't know if Jean-Paul will want to keep going without Lorna.

[kyley_b]

Oh.

Well, I don't really see why not. But if he didn't, couldn't you?

[helpdesk_hero]

Me, lead someone?

[What? No, that doesn't make sense.]

[kyley_b]

Yeah! You have more than enough knowledge for it!

[helpdesk_hero]

That... uh, never went well for me before.

[kyley_b]

How many times have you tried?

[helpdesk_hero]

[David sighs and shakes his head.]

It's only the one time, but it's never that easy, Kyle.
