Who: Rufus and Robert
What: Thanksgiving at the Sixsmith household
When: This week
Where: The Sixsmith's
Rating: High, just in case
Status: Ongoing!

It's been a very full day of family activity. Robert's been wonderful, dealing with all of Rufus's cousins and aunts and uncles, asking them both a million questions. Robert is, of course, asked to play piano for them and receives thunderous applause.

After people start to dwindle off, Rufus and Robert retire to Rufus's room, where he flops back on the bed with a sigh and lights a cigarette, offering one to Robert.

"They absolutely adore you, you know."

Robert's nervous the whole time. He does a fantastic job of showing it, but it's his first Thanksgiving not with his own family, and it's the first time anyone's ever brought him home for such a large family occasion. So he does what he does best, which is be himself. And he's more than happy to play the piano for such an adoring public.

But he's glad when he can flop alongside Rufus, reaching for the cigarette with a sigh of relief.

"Well, I can be very intriguing when I put my mind to it," he says, puffing out some smoke. "They're lovely people."

	And Rufus hands it over happily, cuddling close and kissing Robert's cheek, draping an arm over his waist. "I'm glad you think I come from lovely people. They always complained about my boyfriends being so dull and stuffy. They think you've hung the moon and stars." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I'm not certainly not complaining. You know I love an adoring public." It's quite different than what Robert's used to. Even his own family meals had never been quite so carefree and jubilant. "Although your sisters are something else." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rufus groans and burrows against Robert's shoulder. "My sisters are ridiculous and I apologize for them profusely. They're somehow under the impression that I'm still twelve years old." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, don't bother. I think they're a bit amusing. I like seeing how upset they get when I'm smarter than they are." Robert laughs, fluffing at Rufus' hair. "I'm glad you got better genes than they did." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're so much more clever than they are, darling." He nuzzles Robert before stretching out on top of him for a soft kiss. "I like watching you play piano, by the way. You're absolutely enchanting." (Reply to this) (Parent)
