Julian
Theodore read Julian's letter again even though the paper shook slightly from the trembling of his fingers. He'd already read it so many times through that he was amazed the paper didn't show the tracks from his eyes running over the lines. Feeling giddy, he took out a sheet of paper to write back, but there was so much he wanted to say. So many thoughts and feelings and he couldn't get them onto the paper in any kind of sense.

He checked his appearance, smoothed his hair and his clothes then did something so bold that a month ago he never would have dreamed it. Theodore walked through town to Julian's house and knocked on the door, a boquet of small, fragrant, deep blue flowers in his hand. He had no clue what they were.

	Grinning, Theo scoopped Michel up and kissed him on the forehead. "My apologies, Michel. Did I wake you up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michel snuggled happily, "No, I heard Papa's esplosion. Are you here for breakfast?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Theo blinked, "I missed an explosion? I should have been quicker." He smiled and looked over at his soot covered betrothed, fondly. "I am now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It wasn't an explosion," he protested, wrapping an arm around Theo's shoulders and guiding him to the kitchen. "It was a miscalculation.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah, but was it a miscalculation that created an explosion?" Theo kissed his cheek again and set Michel down, stroking his hair softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A very small one," he said almost pouting, going into the kitchen and flipping a lever that tickled the hen into laying, the egg rolling down a complicated lever system and into the frying pan above the stove that had been lit by a match the rolling egg had flipped and started the bread to toasting.

	Theo was stunned and looked at the contraption closely, following the path. "That's...incredible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julian blinked, "Well, I didn't use a lot of gunpowder." He was still on the explosion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Theo looked at him, "On this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh! I thought you meant.." he shook his head, "This, this is easy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"For you," he smiled. "I couldn't make an invention like this that would start breakfast." He looked at it again then walked over and kissed Julian lightly. "Are you okay?" It was that moment that Theo realized he didn't have a chaperon with him and he suddenly turned a brilliant crimson. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julian grinned, just a bit, touching Theo's cheek. "I am. What's this then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I. I forgot to bring a chaperone," he admitted, leaning into Julian's touch. "I was so. I wanted to see you so much that I forgot to bring one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It seems rather silly now to go fetch one, but...I worry about corrupting young minds." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julian looked at Michel, who was building a fork castle. "It's far too late." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tailertheo 2008-10-19 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	Theo laughed softly and reached for a cloth to clean Julian's face. "You are covered in soot. Would you like to clean up before eating?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_engineer885 2008-10-19 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah. Yes?" he shook his head, "So are you. LEt's go then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tailertheo 2008-10-20 10:23 am UTC (link)
	Theo looked down at his shirt in chagrin, "So I am. Yes, please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_engineer885 2008-10-20 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled, "You can wear one of mine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Theo felt his cheeks flame again and nodded. "I could do that. We aren't that different in size." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julian smiled at Theo, told Michel, "Set the table." then guided Theo upstairs to the bathing room. It was obviously just off of Julian's room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tailertheo 2008-10-21 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	Theo's stomach flipped nervously as he stepped into the bathing room. He ducked his head and paused, unsure of what he should do. Wait? Start undressing? It struck him that soon this would be his home too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julian got them both clothes, then smiled at Theo, kissing his shoulder, "I'll go get us shirts. Clean up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tailertheo 2008-10-21 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	Theo nodded and washed the soot off himself, setting his shirt aside. He'd have to use some special detergent to get that out, he thought. Once he was clean, he waited in the bathing room, shirtless. When Julian reappeared he smiled a little shyly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
