Who: Edwin & Oliver
When: Mid-morning
Where: The Nature Center
Since Edwin had started dating Oliver, since he'd heard so many stories about Oliver and Jason's travels and adventures, he'd wondered what it would look like for the two of them to have their own adventure. This wasn't what he had been expecting, and he'd nearly called the whole thing off upon finding that the way down to their destination was a friggin' basket on the side of a mountain, but with the scary stuff out of the way, this was turning out to be a great trip. The walk over had been nice, which was, well, nice for a change, and they'd managed to collect some more berries for their trip as they went along. And while Edwin couldn't look directly down as they walked around the canyon, looking out at it was still impressive enough that he almost wasn't mad that they were still stuck there.
Their day upon arriving at the nature center had been lovely, too, once feet were on solid ground again. The center wasn't what Edwin was expecting, but it was charming, and well lit, and for sure had an interesting variety of taxidermy, along with plaques with enough animal facts that it had been easy to joke about various animals styles they should try screwing in throughout the day. They definitely got their alone time in back at the barn, but this escapade had been really nice, being far enough away from everyone else, in a safe way, where they didn't have to worry about someone looking for either of them, and they could almost forget that they were still being observed. They'd taken advantage of the solitude, stripping down to enjoy the water out back, then remaining various levels of nude for the rest of their stay, though Edwin did demand a striptease if they were going to do anything near the polar bear. And do things by the polar bear they did.
And while the sleeping amenities here were lacking, the two had managed to make a fairly comfortable nest of blankets on the padded mats that made up the floor of the jungle gym, made even more comfortable by each other's presence. Edwin, feeling sappy, regretted not dragging along Oliver's new guitar so they could badly serenade each other to sleep, but he remembered there being gentle humming before he dozed off, though he couldn't remember which of them had been doing it.
With the next morning bringing the surprise of still being in the nature center, the two had taken advantage by fooling around in the fossil-dig area, which earned another trip out to the lake out back to wash off the sand. With it being another beautiful day, it made sense to have fun and take their time, didn't it? So after a swim, Edwin had laid their towels out near the edge of the dock, in a nice spot in the sun, where they could tan, or nap, or both, and he'd laid there for the past... Well, he wasn't sure how long. Every time he grabbed his phone to check the time, it would demand that he do today's questionnaire, which was distracting from this good time.
"We should tell people this place burned down and then keep it to ourselves," he mused lazily, hardly turning his head to look at Oliver, but nudging his boyfriend's leg gently with his toes. "Maybe get the two twin beds back, then keep them out here. Just lay out here every day until our skin is crispy."
