Home is Where the Heart Is
So, this being a Saturday, Avia had picked up Will and Boom Tube'd the couple of them to LA to this great little pancake house for breakfast.

She picked up a strawberry off the top of her pancakes and plopped it into her mouth, slightly less suggestively than she normally would. Important day. Didn't need to break the boy's brain.

"So I was thinking we might go to Chicago," Avia said. "I was looking at a couple of listings that might make a nice place for us."

She went on. "Hope that's okay? I mean, we can still look at some together too."

In sheer total square-footage, it's not actually bigger than the Free home in New Haven, but that house was two stories and a large basement workshop, so that was a little bit of a different story.

But it is big. Avia was proud of not necessarily being materialistic, but she would also confess to very human desires for creature comforts and the like. And she was designed for thinking big. Big shows, big causes, big everything.

"What're you thinking?" she asked.

	"This is way bigger than I was expecting. I'm sure that it would fit your needs. I just have a-a few things to bring in, so I would be happy with just about anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia frowned slightly. "I overdid it, didn't I? Too much? Too big?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sweetie, if you went overboard you would have just this to yourself. It's fine, just not what I'm used to," Will says quickly to reassure his girlfriend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Relief quickly washed over Avia's features. "Oh, thank Highfather." She blushed. "Especially since the other place I found in Chicago was even a little bigger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bigger than this? Holy moley. That would be big. But if it's for more than us, then I'm fine," Will says, wrapping his arms around his girlfrinds waist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah," Avia admitted. "I may have gone a little overboard there." She wrapped her own arms around him, planing a kiss on his lips. "Love you, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-03-19 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"I love you too, my sweet goddess," Will replies once the kiss is broken. He loves those kisses and he loves her, so he does keep the hug. "This is a possibility, but lets keep looking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ms_miracle 2012-03-19 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"I know we will," she agreed. "But half the fun's in looking. And maybe we can see if we can scale back a little too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, it will be. What's next on the list?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia checked her kPhone (Kord Industries product. They did make good stuff) for the next listing. "Penthouse apartment," she told him. "About the same overall level of classy as this building, little bigger size-wise. Has its own pool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-03-20 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Pool? W-wow. That's really different." A pool was very different. Especially for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A raised eyebrow. "You can swim, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-03-20 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I can. I've never had a built-in pool is all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, except for a couple of the fancier hotels from my tours, neither have I," Avia told him. "But it does sound exciting. Shall we check it out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-03-21 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"S-sure. Sounds like a possibility." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A short trip later had them being shown the second apartment. Which was just... the only word for it was probably... "wow." "Okay, now this really is too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-03-21 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Will can only gape at it. It really was too much. If the last one seemed big, this was gigantic. "Y-yeah, this is a bit much. When it feels like a palace compared to the last place..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ms_miracle 2012-03-21 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Last place was big, but tasteful. I'd feel like a hypocrite moving into somewhere like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-03-21 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Th-this is too much, yeah. I say we go to the next one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There is a smile and a peck on the cheek. "Good. We gotta find the place that's just right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
