BWI Airport & Then a Plane Enroute to YYZ, Sunday Afternoon

[pocketpretzels]

Part of the preparations for their trip had involved Watts being briefed on what was and was not allowed to be carried on to an airplane. As absurd as Watts found most of the rules, he did obviously abide by them, meaning their trip through the security line was uneventful, if somewhat tedious. Also, hey, the first real test of Watts's modern identity papers!

So, security, and then waiting at the gate- where Watts's attention had first been drawn by the wine bar but apparently there would not be enough time to sit and properly enjoy a glass before they had to board. What was possible, however, was a stop at some place called 'Auntie Anne's' which sold hot pretzels.

"Would you care for one?" Watts asked Steven as he tugged him towards the counter.

Comments

Watts let out a deep breath. "All right," he said. And then: "Sorry."

He reminded Steven so often not to borrow trouble, and now here he was doing just that.

"It's all right," Steven said, rubbing Llewellyn's arm gently. "I'd go spare if something happened to them. Or you. Marc would as well. Of course it's something that might worry you to think of."

[pocketpretzels]

"I've only just got myself a family," Watts said. "I couldn't bear to lose it."

[hasaknightjob]

"Oh love," Steven said. He leaned over to give Llewellyn a proper hug now, though he'd stop in an instant if Llewellyn wasn't comfortable with the gesture.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts held on for a few moments before pulling away.

"We would find a way." Watts said, echoing Steven's words. Even though whatever would be done would more likely be Steven and Marc's doing than his, realistically.

[hasaknightjob]

You never knew! There could be research needed. Or perhaps Watts and Wong would have things in common besides short last names beginning with W.

"I promise," Steven said. "It's our family. Won't let anything happen to it."

[pocketpretzels]

Watts nodded, grateful for the distraction when the flight attendant came back around to ask if they wanted anything to eat; the flight was too short for a hot meal, but they did have several boxes with a variety of packaged snacks available, including a vegan one. Which… yes, obviously.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven asked for one of the vegan boxes as well. Yes, they had pretzels, but he wanted to be sure there was plenty for Llewellyn to enjoy about the experience, including extra snacks.

[pocketpretzels]

Best beau.

Watts tore in to a little package of cookies, handing one to Steven.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven took it, charmed by the automatic gesture. He slipped his bag of pretzels into Llewellyn's box. "What would you like to do now? Besides eating?"

[pocketpretzels]

That was something reserved for Steven specifically. There were a handful of people Watts might ask if they wanted some of whatever snack he had, but only Steven got the automatic offer.

“I suppose- see what the television has to offer.” Though he didn’t anticipate paying attention to it terribly long.

[hasaknightjob]

"All right," Steven said. He looked around. "Sometimes the headphones are near. Otherwise we'll ask."

[pocketpretzels]

“I don’t see any?” Watts said, rummaging around in the seat pocket in front of him.

[hasaknightjob]

"Right, we can ask," Steven said. He pointed. "That button will tell the attendant we need them."

[pocketpretzels]

Watts obligingly pressed the button, and in short order both he and Steven had been supplied with headphones.

Once had them plugged in, Watts spent a few minutes scrolling through the available options, vetoing most of the available films as their journey was too short to actually watch one from start to finish.

He did, however, find a screen with details of their flight path.

“Look at that!” he exclaimed, tugging the headphones from his ears as it turned out they weren’t actually necessary for this particular feature. “That’s us!”

[hasaknightjob]

Steven hadn't needed to watch anything. But knowing Llewellyn might feel too aware of Steven not listening to anything, he'd used his to listen to one of the music channels. As such, he had no problem taking them off to smile at Llewellyn. "It is. Would you like me to put that on my monitor so you can watch something else as well?"

[pocketpretzels]

“That’s quite all right,” Watts said. “I don’t believe there’s enough time to watch a picture before we arrive.”

[hasaknightjob]

"Not really," Steven agreed. "Though sometimes there's programs. Sitcoms and the like. You could watch one of those if you cared to?"

[pocketpretzels]

“Sitcoms?” Watts echoed. “Those are the- serialized programs?”

Television was one of those things that he still hadn’t explored much beyond watching movies with Steven.

[hasaknightjob]

"Situation comedies," Steven said, nodding to show Llewellyn had the right of it and Steven was simply expanding on the knowledge. "We could give them a go sometime if you like? Just to see?"

[pocketpretzels]

“We could do that,” Watts agreed. “Not right now.”

[hasaknightjob]

"You could listen to music?" Steven said. "Watch the view? Have a chat with me?"

[pocketpretzels]

“I like that last option,” Watts said, smiling fondly at Steven.

[hasaknightjob]

"Which one - " Steven started to ask, then he saw Llewellyn's look. "Oh. Me?"

[pocketpretzels]

“You,” Watts affirmed.
