“Mila! How wonderful to see you, my rose.” Grimey greeted the other man, all perked up and grinning wide. He hadn’t expected Mila to visit him today, but Grimey was certainly not going to complain.
“Of course,” he chuckles while taking Mila’s hand as they sat beside him, Grimey lifting it to his lips so he could place a kiss upon their knuckles.
“You know I love having your company, Mila…” he’d say with a fond look, before releasing Mila’s hand so he could open his picnic basket and pull out a little blanket to set the food on.
On the blanket, Grimey would set out a bowl of fresh bread rolls, some strawberry jam and butter, a container of shaved ham and pulled chicken, a pint of blueberries, poppyseed mini muffins and lastly, a couple bottles of home-brewed mead.
“I ended up packing more than I needed. But lucky you’ve come to enjoy lunch with me, aye Mila?” he grins, while offering a plate. He leaves some utensils on the blanket along with a couple handkerchiefs.
God, he was going soft. Mila watched as Grimey kissed his hand, his heart fluttering wildly inside his chest. He honestly couldn’t remember ever feeling this way about anyone, before.
“Rose? I think I’m more of a weed.” He joked, though the nickname did cause him to smile again and blush. He never admitted it, but he liked it when he was called that. Made him feel good.
“Geez, y’really think you’d be able to eat all this by yourself?” The shorter man chuckled, glancing down at all the food. He took the plate and grinned back. “Yeah, lucky. This looks wonderful, darlin’.”
He began piling stuff onto his plate then set it down onto the blanket before grabbing a bottle of mead. “Wanna spend the whole day together? I’m not busy.”
