WHAT in person for maximum wish power
WHERE by the lake or anywhere
WHEN night of day 140
NOTES it's a tanabata post!

[ Bamboo trees line the shore of the lake tonight, trailing papers from their branches. Each one is inscribed with a wish mysteriously left by...someone. Some of them are generic, like "world peace," and others are kind of weird and random, like, "fishes with candy scales."

But if you touch one, the text on it might turn into one of your wishes. Maybe it's something innocuous, but maybe it's one of your deepest secrets.

Well, maybe you don't go to the lake tonight. In any case, the stars are luminously bright overhead, and looking at them instills you with a strange sense of nostalgia... ]

I know I'm just one person, but as long as I can... I'll do what I can.

[to distract him. to give him a place to belong. whichever]

[starspangledman]

Thank you, Buck.

[coldhand]

[another little kiss]

Don't mention it.

[starspangledman]

[smiles, kissing back]

It means a lot to me.

[coldhand]

I can tell. You're not subtle.

[starspangledman]

I don't know if I'm trying to hide it...

[coldhand]

Still not subtle.

[starspangledman]

Fair enough.

[coldhand]

We wouldn't be friends if I cared that much about subtlety.

[starspangledman]

Well I'm glad we're friends.

[stroking his beard with her thumb, one corner of her mouth twisting wryly]

I better get to be the best man at your wedding.

[starspangledman]

[leans into the touch]

You will be. I promise.

[coldhand]

Good. I earned that.

[starspangledman]

More than earned it.

[turns, kissing her thumb]

[coldhand]

[sighing, softly]

I love you. [see, she can do it]

[starspangledman]

I love you too.

[coldhand]

Where you heading?

[starspangledman]

I didn't have anywhere in mind.

[coldhand]

[kicking his ankle lightly]

Yeah? So nowhere you have to be?

[starspangledman]

Nowhere I've got to be, no.

[slides a hand to the small of her back]

Something on your mind?

[coldhand]

Nothing in particular. But wouldn't mind some company while I did it.

[starspangledman]

I'll be your company, then.

[coldhand]

Lucky me.

[starspangledman]

[he smiles]

So where to?

[coldhand]

How about back home?
