Saturday Morning
Henry set the alarm for stupid-o'clock this Saturday morning. He takes a shower, slips a towel around his waist, and heads for his room to get dressed. He stops by the room with Josh and Ava first, however, and moves to Josh's bed, where the other is still sleeping.

"Hey... Josh," he whispers, nudging his boyfriend.

	"Yes," Josh replies automatically. "What're you planning?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you want me to stop... say 'Superman,'" Henry replies. And then the plane twists down and spinning, and Henry laughs as the G-forces lift and spin his stomach around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh's eyes go wide as he's given a 'safety word'. Oh this can't be good... "Waaah!" the healer yelps at all the spinning. Doesn't ask to stop though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The plane goes through a number of twists, turns, and spins as the sun slowly rises over Coast City, as Henry laughs, lets out whoops of joy, and smiles broadly. Occasionally, he glances over his shoulder and checks in with Josh, to make sure he's having fun, too.

Once the sun has risen, and the city below has started to awaken, Henry slows the tricks and comes back down for a landing.

	For the first several moments, Josh is just clinging tightly to the seat. Eventually he does loosen up though and starts having fun. When the landing starts, Josh laughs. "Oh man...that was amazing," he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry grins. "I was taken to other planets before I was potty-trained," Henry admits. "But I remember Dad taking me flying one night when I was 7, and I looked up, and it was like I could touch the moon." He shakes his head as he taxis the plane back towards the hangar. "I'd walked on the moon. But... like I said. Magic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh just smiles as he listens. There's a small flicker in his eyes and he looks away a moment. Part of him is a little jealous he doesn't have any happy family memories like that but he buries it once again. "It certainly was amazing, Henry. Don't think I'd wanna touch the moon though," he snickers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll see," Henry replies. "Maybe we can go flying at night sometime and you can see what I mean." A few minutes later, he's shrugging out of the flightsuit and putting his ring back on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh chuckles. "Unless someone moved a lot of life up there, I prefer this planet," he says. "I'd enjoy flying at night sometime though," he says. He joins Henry in removing the flightsuit and stretches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry reaches out and pulls Josh close. "Thank you... for being here with me." He leans in for a kiss. "It means a lot to me... that you understand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-04-16 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Josh offers no resistance to being pulled in and eagerly returns the kiss. "Thank you for letting me be here with you," he replies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-16 05:42 am UTC (link)
	He smiles and holds Josh for a long moment. Finally, he pulls away. "Let's go get a bite to eat," he says. "Breakfast out, you and me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-04-16 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Josh rather enjoys just holding onto Henry and being held. He has a tendency to just cuddle up to the others when allowed after all. "Sure thing, Henry. Breakfast sounds really good. Where're we going?" he asks curiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't have anything particular in mind," Henry admits, leading Josh out of the hangar so he can shut and lock it. "You have a preference? Otherwise, I was just thinking Denny's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-04-16 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Josh follows along quickly, staring up at the sky a moment. The healer chuckles at the question. "Naw, no preference here," he chimes. "Denny's is then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The drive to the diner is almost silent from Henry. It's not so much that he's in deep thought as he's basking in the afterglow of a great flight.

It's only after they're seated at the Denny's that he really speaks up again.

"So the ring was the #1 thing I always wanted to have. But #2? My pilot's license. And I got both the same week." He looks over at Josh. "What about you? Your #1 and #2 things you've always wanted?"

	Josh is pretty quiet as well, just a happy healer. He stays all smiles as they sit. The blond is rather caught off guard by all the question and he looks up thoughtfully. "Uhhh...." he blushes a little. "Well, friends was number one. Didn't really have any before you and Ava," he admits. "And...well, I'm not really sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Henry shakes his head. "I dunno, Josh... the fact that you, of all people, didn't have friends... I wonder sometimes. I mean, you're seriously one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I've met Superman." He smiles at him. "And come on. There had to have been something else. You can tell me. I won't laugh." He smirks. "Of course, if it's R-rated, I might have to help it happen..."

Josh blushes furiously. "Well...I was the weird, new kid that lived with old people, had no father, was into guys, and had a crazy mother in prison," he shrugs. "Didn't matter how nice I was...no one wanted anything to do with me really," the healer sighs.

He gets a bit redder at the comment about R-rated desires and glances around. "I think those are an entirely different round of questions," he says. "And well...I dunno. I always wanted to have friends, to help people, to find out who my father was...and I sort of already have all that," he says. There's a small pause and the blush comes right back. "Well..." he bites his lip. "I have...also...umm...well, I've always wanted to try getting up on stage and singing for people...but I always chicken out..."

	"Then we'll start small," Henry grins. "Rock Band with the others for now. You can be our singer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh blinks a few times. "Rock Band?" he asks, a bit confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, Rock Band." He blinks. "On the X-Box? Have you never played it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh smiles sheepishly. "I've seen it...I just uhh...haven't done anything with it. No idea how to work the thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
