For Joe and Marvey.

[goodbyesempai]

I've been waiting to meet Joe Gibken. It's a strangely evocative name. Any mention of him has begun to provoke memories that weren't quite there before; soft skin, silky hair, full lips. Tragedy. Parting. Soldiers, boots, coming towards us. I have no idea how much of this is real (though none of it in this current existence of mine) and how much is fancy brought on by the idea of his being my fated love in every lifetime but this one.

Marvelous wouldn't hear of my meeting him alone, so we've arranged for it to be the three of us. I need to see Joe.

I need to know all about him.

I give him another sloppy little kiss (or two, or three,) and then try to help him to his feet so we can begin to make our way home.

As I expected, there are people queuing outside. I try to force down my embarrassment as much as I can. I'm a pirate, after all, and Marvelous will be milking this for all it's worth. He'll be strutting like a little peacock right the way home.

I smirk at the line of people, and add an extra swagger to my steps as we pass them and head out of the restaurant. Let them gawk, none of them are as lucky as I am to have such a sexy and skilled lover.

The one problem with this whole situation is that now I'm starving again.

He struts past the crowds, and we go out into the street together. I take his hand, "where would my sweetheart like to go now?" It's said in a light tone, not overly soppy, though he knows he is indeed my sweetheart.

I chuckle fondly, gripping his hand. I'm starving, but there is food back at the apartment, and I would really like to get there before my legs collapse entirely.

"Home?"
