he expected to be followed but did not protest when felix instead found a towel in one of the many drawers and headed off to bathe. the thought of following him flitted through his mind but he knew better and so waited for the other to get out before having his own quick wash. as they passed by he snuck a passing kiss, "my beautiful husband"

Before letting the thief pass, the professor reached out and hooked his arm into Zosa's mid section and pulled him back into his arms. He rubbed some of the dripping water onto zosa before kissing him gently along his neck. He released him with a firm suck. "I am staring at the beautiful one. <My world>"

if he were a woman he was sure he'd be wobbly-kneed, as it stood he was not much better and nearly fell into not bathing at all, "felix..... our car will be here soon"

The professor nodded. "Go bathe, there will be plenty of time for this later." He said kissing Zosa one last time before crossing the small space to the unpacked bags. Once he was dressed he pecked at the remains of breakfast while waiting on Zosa.

the trip was a giddy one not unlike their time on luna and though they managed to mostly stay acceptable in the cab it wasn't without kisses and a secretive game of footsie. grinning dumbly the whole way to their destination he was pleased when they made it to the take-out place he saw before the net cut back out and paying the cab man his fair went inside to order and call auntie

(they are going to get enough lamb meatballs to kill felix XD enough for a couple days of meatballs in pomme sauce)

While Zosa kept in touch with his family, the professor wondered around the restaurant, eventually moving towards one of the displays and pointing at things to add to their order. He tried to assure the man that he could pay for all the delicious things he wanted, since paying for delivery to their tiny shack would almost be as much as the cab.

There will also be some vegi dish xD )

he was done catching up and had sent an email out to olesya to have the grandson come for them in two days before he heard his order was up and passing by felix who was glued to a glass of pastries he found the price of his order doubled and the content of it enough to feed the wedding group twice over. forcing his face not to look surprised he dutifully paid for the food and finding felix where he saw him last forced him to carry half the load as punishment for going overboard

The professor did not like having to carry around bags and not part take in their contents. The smell alone drove him to temptation but both his hands were occupied. On the way to the computer store for the router, they passed by a hardware store, and peeking inside his green thumb called to him. He told the other to go on with out him and began to mosey around the farmers tools and greenery wondering what would work best in the back of the little shack.

regardless of if Zosa leaves him or not, he will be in his own little world for ten minutes, and buying supplies as well as that wagon. )

doing no such thing he stayed with felix while he hunted around for what he assumed was enough to cultivate out electra into a very large tree. once everything was picked and bought they rushed to get the part to fix the net before the grandson could get there

The wagon was a helpful asset, and it freed his arms and let his mind wander around the market place to see the exotic goods being sold. Following behind zosa he saw a familiar car along the curb as well as its driver impatiently looking at his watch. The professor stared at him for long moment before it dawned on him that it was The nana's grandson. He left their items with him and entered the odd little computer store. There were to many unfamiliar gadgets. He wondered around as the sales person proudly tried to sale something to Zosa.

entering the store he found everything from the components he worked with every day on mars to things he did not even know the purpose of outside of their half-readable packaging. ignoring the sales person he let felix lead them and when it was found he was handed over the item they needed though instead of heading for the check he found himself floating towards add-ons for stationary computers

It was like watching a kid in a candy store. The professor would have let Zosa continue to shift through the paraphernalia except that through the windows he could see the grandson patiently look at his watch from time to time. He pulled Zosa away from a metal dingily-bopper and had him buy the parts he needed.

he still had a head full of mods and upgrades when he was dragged over to the check though curiosity got to him and as he set the item down he asked what it was for only to realize they were getting a mostly useless part. looking at felix he let the checker know they changed their mind and taking the reciever back went to get a hook-up instead

His husband looked as silly as a pregnant woman, hobbling about with all the technology in his arms. He was happy when every thing was paid for and they were finally loaded up in the car. It was a long ride home, and despite the glares from the driver he found rest against Zosa's shoulder.

the set up was not too much different from the setup on a ship though the parts were much smaller and cheaper and so he fiddled with it while felix went to plate some of the food and pack away the rest

Watching Zosa, he smiled as he heated the balls in some sauce he found in their luggage. Once he put the rest away and the meat balls on low, the professor wandered off to his own playthings, taking the entire cart of gardening supplies to the back of the house. Under the soft shade of the trees he started to dig in a square working the soft soil to get air and nutrients into it.

the realization that felix was not around came when, while unscrewing a joiner he caught a whiff of burning and looking up from where he had disassembled the entire thing he saw an empty room and a pot boiling on the little stove-top. getting up he went to take it off the burner and find his absentee husband

It was different working on actual terracotta and not artificial soil or shallow ground. He had dug into some interesting red dirt that clumped together. It was also interesting how much his body perspired under the sun. Though he was a lot farther away from the sun, it seemed hotter. The professor disrobed of his shirt that continued to stick to his back and made another plot when he heard the door shut to the house. Looking up he found a disheveled Zosa. "Whats wrong Zosa? Do the parts not work?"

much like when the tent's heat would spike under blue skies and hard work felix wore his body well and the curls of his hair twisted and curled against the slick pale skin in a way that made him forget all about dinner. staring at the other only one word came, "gamo....."

Walking up to Zosa, he gently tucked his fingers under the boys chin and moved the jaw upwards to close to gaping mouth. He smiled. "Zosa?... gamo?" He said some what confused. He thought about trying a different approach to getting the boy to speak. His hand smoothed on the t-shirt covered shoulder before finding its way down his waist and pulling him close and giving him a small kiss against his neck. "Have you come to see my garden?"

it was hard not to take it as suggestive though it was harder still to be truthful and so sitting halfway between the two his just put his arms around the warm damp waist and pressed their foreheads together, "no but i would like to"

Twisting slightly he bent and picked Zosa up at the knees cradling him against his chest. "Alright." He kissed him down the side of his neck. "Here is plot number one." He said turning them both around so they could see the bed the professor had made. As he he took his lips moved the expanse of Zosas collar. "I will plant herbs and spices." He started to walk towards the second plot full of soft earth and laid Zosa down among the dirt. "This is bed number two." He shifted so his hands were twisting around the hem of the Hanes shirt. "I am not sure what seed to plant here." He said pulling the shirt away with his teeth to kiss the top of the pectoral muscles.

the food was cold when they made it back and it was anyone's guess which of them was the dirtier of the two though the spigot out back helped some with evening the odds leaving them both dirty and wet though the wood of the floor bore it well and he parted from the other for the third bath of the day

He washed the dirt and grime off of himself but given the amount of activity he and Zosa had, he found no need to wear anything other then his towel. Folding down the table he found the chairs and made a place for them to eat food. "So have you fixed the computer? I want to make sure Jimmy made it back to the moon safely and see if Playe has had a chance to view the wedding video." He said taking his seat.

he hadn't even thought of it and had continued tinkering with the parts while felix bathed though it was easy enough to put back together. offering a soft 'no' he went to work fixing it properly

It took him a long time to shower, and even then as he exited he felt he still had not gotten all of the dirt out of his hair. Combing through the thick strains he came to stand by Zosa and curiously watched as the man tinkered. He dripped over the work area. "Should I bring your meat balls to you?"

( XD Had to resist saying your meat balls have arrived.)

he was certain by now there was no more hot water with felix taking a second bath right after the first though he did not complain given that his own hair still felt coarse even with liberal amounts of soap. he nodded, "sure but stop dripping on me, i am almost finished." feeling it was a good opportunity he tilted up his face and took a kiss from the cool damp cheek while trying to not get any hair

The words and the kiss enticed him to do just the opposite. It took another kiss before he left Zosa to go find some pants as well as his bowl of meat balls. He sprawled out on the bed inspecting the pink covered spheres before biting into one.

with a shake of his head he hurried to put the last of the small parts back in before hooking everything up and standing from the small shelf. looking over he saw felix in a pair of his new underwear, the lack of stain giving it away, munching on some of the meat with nothing else besides and shaking it again went to get his own meal

(he has sides to go with his XD)

He moved over making room for Zosa. Slyly he plucked one of the green vegetables off the mans plate. "These are very good, I will have to learn how to make them for us." He shifted so he was laying on his side with one hand supporting his head. "Would you like to go for a walk later? I saw some trails made by the previous owner and I am curious, I also think some pictures would delight our families."

nodding he smiled and speared another piece for felix with his fork, "that is a great idea, yeah, after we eat we should do that." offering the fork out he watched as felix took the morsel, "and maybe we will get pictures of more frogs"

The thought of more frogs excited him. He recalled the strange hopping being that Zosa would not let him have. "Frogs? Fish? What else is there?" He said chewing and swallowing. "Birds? cats... dogs?"

"no, no," he laughed, "birds and frogs and snakes and rabbits and mice and such but nothing like a cat or dog"

"You do know that tigers are cats?" He said only to get a laugh. He had hopped that they would see something exotic like a kangaroo but a hare was just as good. He finished his meatballs and went to clean the small mess before they would leave. Once Zosa was finished they packed the gear into bags along with a flash light just in case.

the walk was different from the last with each of them holding onto one of zosa's cameras and he himself with a duffel containing towels and a spare change of clothes and the cell the grandson quietly gave him on their way back from the food run. following just behind felix he ws enthralled to watch the other snap up photos while occilating between slipping through the woods like a nymph and crashing around like a child. it was no surprise either when the shoes were discarded and the legs of felix's pants rolled up. he smiled and took his first picture

(of felix bending to roll out a leg of his pants looking pleased in partial profile with his hair already coming out of the braid and his pale toes sinking into the earth

He heard the small click and finished adjusting his pants before fully turning and smiling. In his ackward position he clicked his own camera clumsily at Zosa capturing a beautiful upside down image of evening light cascading off his world. With the quick snap done he resumed his chase wanting to find frogs.

they continued that way for several minutes with him taking pictures only to get quick shots in return until he was not even trying for legitimate pictures anymore and was just setting off the shutter so he could make faces while felix tried to capture them

He stopped no longer worried about Zosa following him as they came to a flowing stream of water. He did not see Mrs Frog however it did not stop him from being mystified. It was a beautiful sight to see something so pure and slowly Felix walked on the pebbles interrupting the flow.

once they made it to where felix wanted to stop, a beautiful crystal creek, he stopped clicking for fun and this time took a serious shot like the one before. with the sun below the treeline now the golden tendrils moved through the trees and cast a dusky autumnal look about felix leaving him even more rarefied and beautiful than the water

He heard the snaps and assumed that Zosa had found something of interest to take pictures of. Unable to find the frogs on the surface the Professor discarded his shirt tossing it on the side of the river before doing the same to his pants. Under the soft rays of the sun he swam deeper into the lake. Surprised to see all the types of fish he happily swam after them.
