"I don't know. Didn't look into the activities here."

And it could be, like, water skiing or beaches or whatever.

[garrrr]

“There’s a lot of them,” Gar smiles and he is finally content with his marking of Tommy. His hand squeezes the others.

[doubled_speed]

"Tell me about them, then. What we're going to do instead of me just spending a whole lot of time fucking you senseless."

Because that they could do at home.

[garrrr]

Gar settles his head on Tommy’s shoulder. “There’s pools, the ocean, zip lining, scuba diving and like a ton of other stuff. It’s Hawaii.”

[doubled_speed]

"Sounds fun," Tommy grins. He's never done half of those things so he's excited by what he can get.

[garrrr]

“Good, hopefully it’s not all too slow for you,” Gar says teasingly.

[doubled_speed]

"Slow? You think meeting up with you and giving you my time is too slow? No, man. I'm doing this for us."

And he needs to take some breaks sometimes.

[garrrr]

Gar smiles and presses a gentle kiss to the other's jaw.

"Thank you baby."

[doubled_speed]

"I like it when you call me that," Tommy admits, wrapping his arms around Gar's waist. How can he not?

[garrrr]

Gar grins wider and settles comfortably into Tommy’s arms. He’s quiet a while just watching the sunset until there’s a knock on their door for the room service. Then he wiggles reluctantly out of Tommy’s arms and lap to go get it.

Once that’s all done he peeks under one do the covers.

“Looks good baby.”

[doubled_speed]

Well, if it looks good. Tommy’s up and at Gar’s side. No, not his side, behind him with his arms wrapped around the other guy’s waist and his head on Gar’s shoulder.

“Definitely does. Not as good as you, but a nice ‘welcome to the beauty’ sorta sampler. Balcony or bed?”

[garrrr]

Gar leans back into Tommy with a grin. He loves this. He loves Tommy. He loves how they just... fit.

Gar just preens a bit at the compliment in all of that.

“If we choose bed, I definitely am gonna wanna get naked with you after.”

That’d probably be the case no matter where.

[doubled_speed]

"Like that won't be true anyway."

[garrrr]

“Do you have to call me out?” Gar grins, turning his head and kissing Tommy cheek.

[doubled_speed]

"I'm calling our lack of restraint out," he counters, but he leans into the kiss before picking his boyfriend up and carrying him to the balcony. And then he comes back with the food a second later.

"We can last out the sun."

[garrrr]

Gar laughs when Tommy lifts him up and wraps his arms around him for the brief trip to the balcony, waiting for him to return.

"Do you think it'll be this beautiful every time?"

[doubled_speed]

"If it's with you? Yeah."

Fuck, he loves this guy. Tommy uncovers all of the food and pulls a table and chair up.

[garrrr]

Gar smiles as he watches Tommy and it’s hard to even think about food over how much he loves him and how unbelievably happy he is right now. He leans his arms on the table though.

“I love you so much.” There’s a beautiful sunset still but he can’t help but look at Tommy

[doubled_speed]

Loves. A word that Tommy really needs to use more. To say and not be afraid that the guy is going to evaporate. But he perches on a lounger and dips a strawberry into chocolate and smiles.

"I... thank you," Tommy says. He wants to say it too, but there is no denying the fear in his eyes. How scared he is of the words. Gar's definitely heard enough about how Tommy was abandoned by his parents to maybe figure out why.

[garrrr]

Gar doesn’t expect it of Tommy. There’s still a twinge somewhere inside of him that he actively ignores, that he won’t show because Gar doesn’t do that. Gar hides all of his own sadness and damage and trauma behind smiles that everyone believes and takes for granted. Then again, most people don’t know what he’s been through and he outwardly shakes it off so easily that people who do don’t know any differently. All the same... he knows Tommy does love him even if he can’t say it. And all Gar can do is be there anyway.

So Gar just gives him a grin and turns his attention to the food. “Okay it’s as good as it looks.”

[doubled_speed]

He feels so guilty. So instead he reaches across after he's had his berry and takes Gar's hand. And licks his lips.

"I do too, Gar. You. That thing. Can... can we just have another word for me saying it? So I can, you know.... without saying it?"

Because they're heroes. And if he says it, he'll lose Gar instantly. He can't say the word itself.

[garrrr]

That surprises Gar. He squeezes the others hand and shakes his head.

“You don’t have to say anything, Tommy. I know,” and he tries not to say it but god sometimes things just feel so intense it bubbles out. And he feels guilty for the look on his boyfriend’s face.

He grabs another bite of food with his free hand.

[doubled_speed]

“You... look hurt when i don’t say it back. I hate that.”

[garrrr]

“I don’t mean to...” Gar says, looking away from Tommy then. “I’m sorry.”

Gar looks down at their hands. Tommy sees him more than anyone else and sometimes he doesn’t even realize it. He brings Tommy’s hand to his cheek, nuzzling it.

“I don’t need you to say it, I mean it. I know how you feel.” And it does hurt a little when Tommy doesn’t say it even if he doesn’t want it to hurt. It doesn’t seem fair to Tommy.

[doubled_speed]

“I... can’t. If I say it, something will take you from me,” Tommy says. That the world has most definitely taught him. It’s scary enough to love Gar. It’s terrifying that Gar knows it. The chance that he’ll lose the guy if he says it out loud, though. That’s... unfathomable. “Losing you would kill me.”
