[DATING SIM] A chance to destroy a nice, romantic atmosphere

[foxhoundmantis.livejournal.com]

[Look, a chance to see that rare creature--a somewhat content (Love Interest) Mantis! He's found himself a massive outdoor concert hall, an orchestra warming up on stage. Out on the lawn seats, with a blanket and a special someone and the stars twinkling in the sky, it could be really quite romantic.

Mantis is sitting in an uncomfortable plastic chair under the canopy, muttering about acoustics.

And the program starts. Go be romantic with someone who is not Mantis, for the love of Christ (obvious exception aside).]

I'm not angry.

[strokes his back]

I'm not used to hearing it.

How did you find out?

[3generations.livejournal.com]

..Oh.

[relaxes a little when he feels that hand on his back]

...Well, truthfully- an educated guess.

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[chuckles]

Is that so.

[It's weird listening to someone's laughter when your ear is pressed against their neck. Otacon laughs a little in response]

Mhm. But I'm not giving away my secret just yet, y'know.

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

Clever, clever.

I'll have to get it from you when you least expect it.

[3generations.livejournal.com]

[laughing]

I'll hold you to that.

[There's lips pressed against your neck, but he otherwise stays still]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

You'd better.

[Someone's arms wrapping around you? Why, yes.]

[He smiles, but doesn't respond.]

[If anyone would have told Hal a few years ago that, in the future, he'd be lying on the ground in Liquid Snake's arms, he would have called them a lunatic.]

[He doesn't have a complaint about that now. Strange.]

[If anyone had told Liquid a while ago that he would be lying on the ground cuddling his brother's technician, he would have killed them. Granted, that's what he would have done in a lot of cases, but that one with especial gusto.]

[Between the night, the cool air, and the music, Hal's really enjoying himself. In fact, it's pretty comfortablzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[Liquid looks around carefully.]

[No one's looking.]

...

[Checks again]

[Confirmed.]

...

[Strokes Otacon's hair.]

[he murmurs a little, and presses closer against him, but otherwise stays there]

[whyamisobritish.livejournal.com]

[Oh yes. Liquid's stealing this one for himself.]
