Workout Surprise
GK came up the steps from his tiny basement apartment into the little yardspace behind. He was in his workout clothes and carrying his stick. Sometimes, a guy just needed to run through his fencing forms, and there certainly wasn't enough room inside.
He unsheathed the sword from the stick and was just about ready to start when he looked up at the tree and froze.

	"No. I won't. Just don't feel like being on the ground right now," he explains. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay." And GK starts climbing up the tree. He gets as close as he safely can and snuggles against a wing. "I missed you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry. I've just been..." he tries to think of a word that doesn't include 'drunken bender' or 'plotting genocide'. "Well busy. With the Titans. There's stuff been going on like mad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And there's this wonderful little hope in his eyes. "Could you? Stay with me until there's an emergency? I've got the next few days off..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He thinks about this for a moment. He does want to, it's written pretty clearly on his face. He's just hesitant about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd really appreciate it," GK says quietly. "And I've got plenty of food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"Well... okay. Sure." he doesn't say this reluctantly, but shyly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 03:09 am UTC (link)
	And GK looks overjoyed. "Great." He leans over and manages to kiss Eli's cheek. "Just give me a few minutes, and I'll get you something to eat." He starts to climb down the tree. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Eli manages a dopey smile at this. "I'll be here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 10:37 am UTC (link)
	GK scampers down and inside, and in a little while, he's scampering back up the tree with a bag containing smaller sandwich bags of french toast -- with a touch of cinnamon -- and bacon, and a canteen of orange juice. He has to reach to kiss Eli on the cheek again before breakfast begins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are so domestic, you know that? You could be like a Martha Stewart or something," He says in a completely teasing and loving manner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK can tell, and smiles. "But I have much better legs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aw, thank you." GK eats and drinks a little and then reaches to stroke Eli's feathers very lightly and watch him eat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-11 02:21 am UTC (link)
	He fluffs his feathers at the touch. "You're welcome," Eli says chewing rapidly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
