A Bit of a Fixer-Upper

It's Kristopher. No, with a 'K'. K-R-I-S--oh fine. Yeah, just put Christopher. 21. Fifth Year. Yeah, that's just Sven.

She smiled when she felt the kiss to her temple, though she kept looking through the travel guides until he sat down next to her. “Good morning,” she said in a sing-song voice, moving closer to give him a kiss. “Well, I figured we could rent a vespa like all those old movies and explore the city? There’s a restaurant that’s known for it’s view, or we can go hiking at the national park?”

Leaning over, he gave her a proper kiss. “We could always do both. Head to the national park while it’s still cooler and then come back to town, explore for a bit...probably take a shower by that point and then go to dinner.”

“It just seems like such a boring place,” she said, her nose scrunching up a bit. “What else! Ya gotta experience the food and the culture, not just nature. Usually, people just wanna relax instead of exercise.”

Kristopher shook his head. “Uh, rock climbing is how I relax.”

“Sense and Sensibility,” she said with a small smile. “Which I guess, to some, wouldn’t be much more fun than a travel book…You’re dating that red head, right? Planning anything romantic?”

“Ah, uh...Jane Austen?” Kristopher ventured a guess. He’d read quite a bit when e was younger, but as he’d gotten older the man had found all of his reading geared towards research for trips. “Anna, yes. Uh...not, uh, not really.” His eyebrows furrowed together. Should he be? Would they have time?

“Anywhere!” she chimed. Stella never really had a set agenda as long as she was having fun, that’s all that mattered. “Where are you trying to go? Please don’t say the hotel,” she chuckled.

“Uh...I was going to go for a hike...but...I can help you find somewhere, first?” He was honestly hoping she wouldn’t invite herself, although he wouldn’t leave her alone either. In that moment, he knew that his hike would be delayed or he’d have an unexpected partner during it.

The glorious thing about being on vacation, is that Anna put more planning into sight-seeing than she did getting ready. It didn’t take long after she woke up to text Kris to meet her in the lobby before she was heading down to the breakfast buffet to grab some food. Travelling had always been one of her favorite things–well, minus the actual traveling part–so it was no shock that she’d bought as many travel guides as possible. As she waited at the table, she flipped through one of the guides, pushing fruit around on her plate absentmindedly.

Kristopher was already awake when Anna sent him a text message. It didn’t take long before he spotted the redhead sitting at a table. Offering a quick kiss to her temple, he murmured that he’d be back before getting in line for food. Once his plate was loaded, the man took a seat next to his girlfriend. “Morning.” His eyes skimmed over the assortment of travel guides. “What’s on the agenda for today?”

“I’ll give ya Greece or Morocco, but Iceland!” Angel groaned a bit, shaking her head. “I guess I can say the reason is fine, but ya just might be the first person I’ve ever met that wants to go rock climbing on vacation.”

“What’s wrong with Iceland? There are glaciers and waterfalls. It’s actually got some really beautiful spots.” He fixed her with a confused expression. “What else would I do on vacation?”

She glanced up, eyeing at the book. “No, I guess you can’t. Though, I don’t think you’re the only one reading those books while we’re here.”

He shrugged. Kristopher was looking for somewhere to go climbing that wasn’t too far from where they were. “What are you reading?”

It was still fairly cold in Spain, but Andrina always seemed to find herself at the beach if they ever traveled anywhere near a coast. After stealing a towel from the hotel, that and a book were all she needed, so it wasn’t long until she was lounging on the sand flipping through the book. She’d been there maybe a few minutes when she saw someone walk up to her. “If you’re about to tell me that I should get my head out of my book, I will quickly remind you that I’m enjoying the beach, aren’t I?”

[kristopher-icen-blog]

Kris took a seat, holding up a book of his own. It was a travel guide filled with tons of information about the city they’d be spending the next two weeks in. “I can’t say much about reading, can I?”

Tipsy and lost, Stella didn’t let that stop her from having a good time. Stumbling around the city with a fruity drink in hand and a smile on her lips, she came to a rest on the edge of big, beautiful fountain. “Estoy, um… estoy sono perso?” she said, shamelessly mixing the little Spanish she knew with her Italian, “I mayyyy or may not know where I am. Can you help?,” she chuckled, “Oh and do I still look good?”

[kristopher-icen-blog]

He didn’t understand the mash up of languages the girl spoke, but when she asked for help in English it caught his attention. “Uh...where are you trying to go?” Kristopher wasn’t familiar with the area they were in but he had a map in the backpack he carried with him.

“Iceland!” Angel stared up at him in disbelief. “Ya’d rather go to Iceland than be in Barcelona?”

“Um...yes.” He paused for a moment. “Or maybe even Greece or Morocco. They’ve got some great spots for rock climbing, I hear.”

[angxladams]

As much as Angel thought she was used to the new life with her family in Manhattan or her time at WDPA, there always seemed to be a new surprise around every corner. She figured she’d never get used to traveling the world–first Tokyo, then Berlin, and now Barcelona? She wandered a little bit from the group she had been shopping with, her eyes moving around the buildings, to the shops and the people. When her gaze fell on a familiar face, she smiled. “I know we’ve only been here one day, but I think this is about to be my favorite trip so far.”

[kristopher-icen-blog]

Kristopher shrugged. “I’d still rather go to Iceland.”

[princesselyonbrown]

“Oh I’m sorry did you say something.”

[kristopher-icen-blog]

“Uh...no. Well not to you. To Sven.” He pointed at the dog sitting beside him. As Kris gestured towards him, Sven let out a loud bark.

Jack clapped. “Holy Halloween, this is awesome! Sure, let’s work through it now.” He replied happily, pointing to a nearby restaurant. “Maybe we can order some snacks there and use their wifi?” He suggested.

Kristopher’s gaze followed where Jack pointed before grinning. “Let’s do this!” He made sure his Jeep was locked. “This works out since I was hungry anyways.”

“Yeah!” Her heart melted a bit when he smiled at her. “I don’t want to be with someone that’s gonna be serious all the time and thinks that they have to be grown-up twenty-four-seven.” If at all possible, she relaxed even more against his touch. “You know…I know Elsa and I are close now, but it’s nice having someone to share all this with.”

“So...I should follow my dream of being an ice salesman in an Arctic climate?” He teased. There were times when he was serious of course; during his climbs there wasn’t a lot of room for playing around. With Anna though, he could relax and let himself laugh. “I never really had anyone to share things with either before you. Aside from Sven.”

“Boring people?” The blond guessed with a grin. His smile was sad as he nodded in agreement, but he also knew that that luckily didn’t stop a lot of people from still being themselves, at least eventually. “But were gonna keep fighting that.” He replied. The idea had seemed good at first, but now that it actually seemed possible, it’s appeal had grown even more. “We should pitch it to them, maybe investigate a little about the places and prices and then ask for a meeting.”

“That sounds about right.” He gave a quick nod. “Good.” Kristopher looked around for a moment. “Well...I’m free to work on it now if you’d like. Or we could meet up some other time.” His laptop was in his bag so if they settled in somewhere with wifi, they could do whatever research they needed to do.

“Oh yeah? Where have you gone to? Anywhere interesting?” She leaned against the wall. “I’ve been okay, just studying, mostly.”

“I wouldn’t categorize any of them as particularly interesting. I’d been to all of them before. It was mostly just leading people on easy to moderately difficult trails.” Of course, they still held some interest to the boy. If he’d been alone or even with Anna or a friend the trips would have been incredible. “How’re classes going?”

Gemma paused, looking him up and down. “…Alright. That seems fair.” She was rather embarrassed, but hoped it didn’t show through. Stepping to the side to let him through, the girl spoke again, “How have you been? Seems like forever since I’ve seen you last.”

Kristopher placed his order and then paid for both. He didn’t want her to be embarrassed; it was only him. “I’ve been good, uh...going on a lot of trips so...I stay busy...you?”
