[ having decided that meeting anthony half-way would be best for this particular... conversation, he walks a bit slowly, quite aware that his dorm was closer to the school than his friend-slash-goalie's house. (that and he would probably have to struggle with his mode of transportation for a while.) so instead of the usual ten minutes it takes him to arrive to this particular destination, he gives himself thirty, casually making his way to one of the benches underneath a tree.

takes a seat, pulls out his cellphone, then begins to check his messages as he waits; it would be at least another fifteen minute wait, one he was finally willing to be patient for. after all, he wasn't expecting much, anyway. when it came to feelings, expectations were the worst things to have, or so he had logically deducted throughout his childhood. besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if anything negative happened. this was anthony, after all, the boy who clucked and bawked louder than he spoke or made any semblance of sense with his words.

... it almost made him second-guess himself. almost.

pockets his phone and tilts his head backwards instead, letting it rest against the top of the bench. just simply stares up into the branches and leaves of the tree, allowing himself to show a rare display of being lost in some non-thoughts for the time being. ]

[ matches his pace. ]

. . . Oh. That's what I forgot. Bug spray.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

That was unnecessary in the first place.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Constant diligence! Vigilance. One of the two.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

It is still unnecessary.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

But you must be pre-pa-a-a-ared.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Is that from another one of your children's movies?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Not children's. Disney.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Is it not the same thing?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ firmly: ]

Disney is its own genre.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ thinks on that... then nods. ]

I suppose I will find out in due time. Which movie do you personally recommend?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ without even a second thought: ] Peter Pan.

[ ... & now he's thinking. ]

Lion King is always good. Sleeping Beauty for your inner romantic.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

We can start with those, then. [ begins to pay more attention to where they're going, turning a corner. while his eyes are elsewhere: ] What are they about?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Peter Pan is about Neverland. Lion King is Hamlet by cats. Sleeping Beauty is. . . [ pauses briefly. clears his throat. ] A sleeping princess.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

... how thrilling and creative.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Only 'cause I don't do spoilers.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I am certain it is not too difficult to figure out what happens in the end.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Happily Ever After.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ pulls his attention away from the street when he hears the change of tone in anthony's voice. after a pause: ]

Is that your dream ending?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

I'm a maiden at heart.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

That's unsurprising to hear.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

My dad's gonna be disappointed.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Is he not supportive of the idea of same-sex couples?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks slowly. turns to look at michael fully. ]

You could be a gundam and he'd be fine. [ after some heavy coma-induced meditation, of course. a pause for dramatic effect-- ] It's the maiden part.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I still do not see why that would disappoint him.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ hums off-tune: ]

Did they send me daughters when I asked for so-o-o-ons.
