Maybe you'll figure it out. Wouldn't that be cool? [ Then he pauses. ] And being able to travel to any world.

[ His eyes widens as he thinks about it. They could visit each other. They could go on dates on each others' worlds.

He's not going to let on if he feels anything happy to have so close. ] Rigging a boat? [ ALSO TELL HIM ALL ABOUT BEN :D ]

no :|||

[rattlingthestars]

-Any world?

[ Jim's catching onto the idea, and he's distracted from his story. Zell's gone way too long without having to answer any questions, anyway. ]

Mm. Where do you think you'd go, if you could?

[swatsflies]

[Whoops. Not that Zell really minds. ]

Your world. I have to meet your mom, right?

[ He has to make a good impression so he can marry her son. And then thinking about it as lines the pads of his fingers up with each of Jim's. Pressing his palm against his as he smiles at the differences. ]

After that I think I would like to visit everyone we met here. Go visit their worlds and meet their friends.

[rattlingthestars]

There'd be so much to see.

[ Not necessarily visiting, but just the sheer idea of an unknowable number of universes spread out for the taking. ]

We could probably spend the rest of our lives wandering through them and never get bored.

[swatsflies]

[ He doesn't miss that we there. It actually feeds his excitement as he puts his arm across Jim's chest to plant his chin there. Beaming down at his new body pillowJim. ]

Could you just imagine? What if we went to Emmanellain and Haurchefant's world? It would be a world full of knights and stuff.

[ Which is pretty cool and something he does remember being into as a kid. Thinking about it, he decides to give Jim a freebie. ]

You know, we used to watch this movie in the orphanage.

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim is an excellent body pillow, he doesn't even seem to mind Zell's chin being pointy. Instead he raises both eyebrows, urging Zell to go on. ]

Yeah? What was it about?

[swatsflies]

One of the good Sorceresses in history and her knight. Maaaan, I still can't believe the actor turned out to be Laguna.

[ He's shaking his head with a little smile. ]

It's one of the few things I can remember from then. We used to watch this movie all the time. There's this scene where the knight encounters a red dragon. It turns out that the dragon was frickin' real! It wandered on the set without the actors even knowing.

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim is sitting up quickly enough to move the tent a little when hi head hits the top. ]

A dragon.

[ That's not even a question, it's just a statement. That statement sounds an awful lot like 'bullshit.' ]

[swatsflies]

[ Jim sitting up means Zell loses his pillow. Carefully sitting up himself as he tries to figure out what Jim means by that. ]

Yeah, a dragon. Do they exist where you're from? [ He knows in Zack's world they do. Also Haurchefant's world! ]

[rattlingthestars]

They're just fairytales.

[ Like Treasure Planet, actually. So- ]

At least, as far as I know. Dragons. [ The last of this is more Jim talking to himself than talking to Zell. ] Why is everything about you so cool?

[swatsflies]

[ The excitement is contagious. Reaching up to poke Jim in the nose as he grins. ]

That means you're cool, too. [ Since everything about Zell is cool, that covers his boyfriend. Right? ]

You have actually gone in space. [ Also took on pirates. That's super cool. ]

[rattlingthestars]

Thank you for making me cool.

[ Jim says, looking solemn before he cracks a grin. ]

Space was pretty great, but you're gonna see it one day. Then what will I do?

[swatsflies]

[ Snickering as he shakes his head. ] You were pretty cool long before I came around. I just help enhance it. [ Stretching out as best as he could in the tent before he moves to plop his head on Jim's leg. ]

You'll just have to keep taking me to new and exciting places after that.

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim's still, watching, before he grins and rests a hand in Zell's hair. ]

-Guess so. I'll have to be pretty creative, right? What kind of places do you want to go?

[swatsflies]

[ That feels nice. Tipping his head to press a kiss against Jim's pants as he sighs contently. ]

Places you've been. Where you grew up and played. Your favorite spot to solar surf. Then we'll find some where new!

[ He draws a trail with his fingers against Jim. ]

Too bad we can't see Treasure Planet.

[rattlingthestars]

Plenty of other galaxy out there to see.

[ Jim's fingers intersect Zell's, drawing him down a different path. ]

Other pirates to fight, if you wanted to. Treasures to find.

[swatsflies]

[ Bumping his fingers against Jim's as he grin. Looking up to watch their fingers a moment. It's nice being able to forget all the things and remember he has a boyfriend. He actually has a boyfriend. Tomorrow, they would have been dating for two whole weeks. And they met each other over a month ago. ]

Guess it's good I have someone who's dealt with pirates at my side. [ Jim, the pirate expert. ]

What about creatures? Anything cool?

[rattlingthestars]

I'll protect you.

[ Yep, Jim's mocking himself a little, and teasing Zell. ]

Just about any kind of creature you could imagine. What kind would you like to see?

[swatsflies]

I believe it. [ Untangling their fingers to reach up and poke one of Jim's arms. ] You've got the guns for it, man.

[ Grinning as he lays his hand flat on his stomach now. ]

Something that you can only find in space.

i'm not checking subtitles to see if i spelled that right and you can't make me.

[rattlingthestars]

If not, there's always the canons.

[ Jim flexes his arms anyway. What flexible sticks. ]

The orcas galactucus was pretty cool. You know, as long as you don't get too close.

wow totally judging : D in bed ;D

[swatsflies]

[ Swoon.

Orcas? As in whales? [ Does. Does he have whales in space? ]

What happens in you get close?

hopefully i'll... measure up. if you know what i mean. wink wonk.

[rattlingthestars]

Space whales.

[ Even Jim's pretty amazed by those; he knew they existed, sure, but seeing them in person? Totally different. ]

Space whales with blowholes.

blowhole wink wonk

[swatsflies]

Whoa! That's amazing! Are there space dolphins, too? What about crabs?

[ Not counting psycho lobster of course. ]

Are they huge? Did you get pretty close?

[rattlingthestars]

Didn't really run into any, but they're out there. Had to scrape a ton of barnacles off the bottom of the ship, though.

[ Space barnacles. Figure that one out, Zell. ]

The whales came right up to the side of the ship. I was up in the rigging, but Doctor Doppler got a face-full of gunk.

you know the jokes that are popping up in my head. YOU KNOW

[swatsflies]

[ Space barnicles. How does that even happen? ]

Do you tether yourself to the ship to clean them off?

[ That sounds amazing and a little terrifying. Since SPACE. Walking his fingers up Jim's stomach to rest it against his chest. ]

Face-full of gunk, huh? [ What...gunk do they push out if they aren't in the water? Space dust?

Rolling over and scooting up to rest his chin on Jim's belly. Looking up at him. ] Bet it was amazing out there. Even with the the danger of space gunk.
