Lisbon, Portugal, [All Day Sunday]

[pocketpretzels]

After getting checked in to the hotel and settled in the room with its view of the Tagus river, Watts and Steven were ready to start their adventure with a visit to the Oceanário de Lisboa. Following that, Watts had deliberately left the itinerary open. Perhaps they'd explore the city and head for dinner and a performance of fado music... orrrrr they might just head back to the hotel and order room service. Who knew!

"Me too." Steven bumped shoulders with Llewellyn. "Plenty of time for it later."

Or earlier if Llewellyn was feeling bold.

[pocketpretzels]

"Not too much later," Watts said firmly. Because see above re extremely kissable.

[hasaknightjob]

"We do have those arrangements in ink," Steven said. Though he wondered if Llewellyn would remember that part of their conversation from the bachelor party.

[pocketpretzels]

"Why do you think I've left our itinerary open following our tour here?" Watts asked, grinning.

He did, in fact, remember that conversation. All of it.

[hasaknightjob]

"Meals, I imagined," Steven said, grinning at him to show he wasn't entirely serious.

[pocketpretzels]

"Partially true," Watts had to admit with a laugh.

[hasaknightjob]

"Have to keep our strength up, don't we?" Steven said, very deliberately looking innocent. "For tours."

[pocketpretzels]

"I can think of a tour or two I'd like to take," Watts affirmed.

[hasaknightjob]

"Like the museums," Steven said, because priorities. "Though wouldn't mind walking about with you as well. Doesn't have to be Lisbon. Anytime this week."

[pocketpretzels]

"Like the museums," Watts echoed, and Steven's statement did earn him a kiss on the cheek. Without Watts pulling away after a mere fraction of a second, even.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven smiled up at him to show how much the kiss was welcome. He didn't kiss back, though, not wanting to push Llewellyn more than he was comfortable with. "Outdoors as well. Nowhere in particular. Taking it all in."

[pocketpretzels]

Watts nodded. "Pastéis de nata," he supplied. "Everything I've read says we have to try them."

[hasaknightjob]

"Think if we don't try a fair number of desserts Stark'll refuse to be friends with us after," Steven said. Stark would do no such thing of course but Steven did want to report back on if there were things Stark might like to try.

[pocketpretzels]

"You are kidding, correct?" Watts had to check. Though Watts considered Stark a friend, Steven was the one who knew him better.

[hasaknightjob]

"Joking," Steven reassured him. He gave Llewellyn's hand a squeeze to help. "Though I know he's looking forward to trying things over in France on that trip."

[pocketpretzels]

"French pastries are something else," Watts had to agree. Another reason to pencil in a potential Paris trip sometime!

[hasaknightjob]

"Well we've Portuguese to try ourselves," Steven said. "We can compare notes with him once we've all gone home."

Strange how "home" meant different things depending on where they were. Normally Steven used it to mean the world they were currently in.

"He and Travis went together," Steven said. "Good step for them, I think."

[pocketpretzels]

"First holiday together is an important step," Watts agreed. Even if at least one of them being a school employee simplified the matter since the trip arrangements were all handled on their behalf.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven bumped their shoulders again. "It is, isn't it? Hoping you're not tired of me by the end of it."

Not that Steven was worried or anything.

[pocketpretzels]

"I could say the same to you of me," Watts pointed out.

[hasaknightjob]

"Spoiled, more like," Steven said. "Having you to myself all week."

[pocketpretzels]

"Flatterer."

That of course merited a proper kiss. Though a brief one because they were very much in public after all.

[hasaknightjob]

It might have been brief but Steven still gave him a kiss back. "Not flattery if it's true, is it? Just you and me and the entire week ahead of us."

Granted the last day was for Annie and Diego's wedding but Steven and Llewellyn were going together so Steven was counting it all the same.

"Selfish, I know, but it's nice to have a little time not to share."

[pocketpretzels]

"It's all right to be selfish now and again," Watts said, particularly because he felt the same way. And there was also the Marc of it all, no matter how much he might insist that it was fine, Watts appreciated what he was giving up so that Steven and Watts could have this.

[hasaknightjob]

"You're what I most want to be selfish about," Steven told him. "Suppose that works out, at least. Us having this. And you sharing it with me. Portugal, I mean."
