(It's all good! I've been pretty busy anyways, haha.)
"This sounds amazing…" Apollo sighed contently, resting his hands on his chest after laying back fully. From the little bit of time Davina and him had been together, it wouldn't surprise him if she figured out how much of a dreamer he was. And a lot of the little things could get him pretty happy and excited. "I don't know where we should go camping, though. Do you have an idea?"
"I've heard of some good places around the world, but I don't remember any of them off the top of my head," She replied, smiling as she looked up at the roof of the fort again, "There's some amazing places that the stars are extremely visible." Davina shrugged, tipping her head to look at him and studying his face, "We could go anywhere though, as long as there's no doctors or hospital walls."
"That's true…" Apollo whispered, trying to think of places that had good stars. Humming softly to himself, he kept his eyes trained on the roof of the tent. "Mm, there's the northern lights we could go see… but I'm pretty sure it would be too cold to go camping. I might be wrong, though." He mumbled a little, flicking his gaze to her.
She nodded, shrugging once again, "As much as I would love to camp and see the northern lights, I think you're right. We would have to stay in a hotel or something in order to see them. I think there's some gorgeous places near the coast that have amazing views of the stars at night though." Davina glanced away when he looked over at her, feeling her face flush very lightly as she focused back up at the roof of the tent.
Apollo smiled softly, not seeming to mind her looking at him. At least, he didn't say anything when he had caught a glimpse of her. "Maybe one day we could. Just once, so we can see them." He told her softly, hands still resting on his chest. "But camping on the coast, sounds lovely. Especially if the view is as good as you're making it sound." He mumbled a little, before turning his gaze back upwards.
"As long as there's no major cities around, I've seen pictures and even though pictures of stars normally aren't good, it was still amazing. Plus, sunrises and sets are gorgeous," She replied, her voice soft but happy, "Gosh, I would give anything to see the stars right now. It's been too long since I've seen them without city lights in the way." Davina messed with the corner of her sleeve as she talked, her eyes fluttering closed, "Seeing the northern lights would be a dream come true."
(I'm sorry for my spotty replies…)
Apollo listened to her in silence, starting to trace circles into his chest. She sounded so invested in this topic— clearly this was something she loved a lot. Sighing softly, he turned his head to gaze at her affectionately. Even if they weren't dating, he couldn't help but admire her. "Then we'll have to make it happen… it'll be one of the first things we do on our tour around the world. Then you could have a dream fulfilled."
(It's all good!)
"I would love that, more than anything. But, as soon as we're done with that, we have to do something that you've always dreamed of." She smiled flicking open her eyes again and looking over at him happily, "What's something or somewhere you've always dreamed of doing or going?" It was nice, talking to Apollo, feeling like someone understood her, or at least wasn't judging her love for the night sky or traveling. She felt.. genuinely happy, for the first time since being admitted to the hospital. Plus, as she studied Apollow further, it was a perk to have a gorgeous boy laying beside her, especially one that had called her cute.
(Inspiration is not coming to me, I apologize once again.)
"My dreams?" Apollo asked, seemed to be caught off guard by her question. He let out a long huff, trying to think of something. But his brain was completely empty right now. "I… I can't think of anything, actually…" He admitted in a soft tone, pursing his lips a little. Simmering in his silence, he waited a few minutes as he thought. "Oh! I've got something. I've always wanted to go to Tokyo during the New Year."
(Don't worry about it, take all the time you need!)
Davina nodded, curious but excited for another place they would travel, "Well then, we'll go to Tokoyo during the New Year. It'll be a little bit out of the way, but I'm still excited." She had never had much desire to go to Japan, but now that it was brought up, it seemed fun to get out of her comfort zone and go somewhere that she had never thought of going.
(Thank you, honestly)
"That would be lovely- I honestly just think the idea of it would be cool. I'm not actually sure if it's anything special." Apollo admitted with a little shrug. He gave a light smile, starting to push himself up into a sitting position. "Going to Greece would also be pretty cool… though I'd prefer to go to Greece during ancient times, with all the gods and goddesses."
(No problem!)
“Ancient Greece, gosh now that would be a fun trip,” Davina agreed, smiling, “As much as I would love to go there, I’m fairly certain that there’s not a way to get there. I suppose just modern Greece will have to do.” She glanced over at him, letting out a soft yawn and settling down as she laid on the floor of their fort.
Apollo chuckled softly, looking over to her as well. He kept up a gentle smile as he drew his knees up to his chest with a sigh. "Too bad… can you imagine how cool that'd be? I mean, getting to meet literal gods…" He let out a soft hum, staring up at the roof of the tent. "Alright, so maybe not literally getting to meet them. But being alive the same time they were deemed as the highest authority…"
She nodded, laughing lightly and brushing a strand of wild hair out of her face, "That would be amazing. Just think of knowing the people who named the stars, and worshiping gods that were all so different." Even if she didn't believe the greek gods were real, it was a fun thing to think about, especially since most of the constellations she loved the most had to do with greeks.
Apollo kept up a bright smile, his eyes lit up with excitement. It was probably the most lively he had looked in weeks. Typically he was a calm and collected boy, but there were a few occasions his imagination got the best of him and he let loose. "Maybe we could name a constellation? We could make a story to go with it, and pass it on to our kids someday." He grinned a little brighter, unaware to how his words sounded. He hadn't even meant between the two of them, but just in general. When the two of them grew up, and married off with their spouse. But he wasn't too opposed to getting to marry Davina, either.
(I'm so so so sorry I dissappeared, work and sports are stressing me out and I needed a little tech break)
Davina was silent for a minute, turning her head and showing him the brightest smile yet. "You, Apollo, are brilliant." She flopped back down and barely contained a small squeal of happiness at the idea, "We have to do that! Oh gosh why haven't I thought of that before? That would be so so fun, and we could even get a map of the sky and draw the constellation out so we can show it to our kids."
(It's all good! No need to worry :3 I'm sorry I had you wait. I got a little busy myself.)
Apollo chuckled a little, letting out a mental sigh of relief. He was glad she didn't think it was dumb, a few seconds of panic flooding away. He gave her a bright smile, nodding along to what she was saying. "I'm no genius, but I've been known to give a couple good ideas." He joked a bit. "I can bring a camera, so we can snap a few shots. Then we could show pictures of the place we saw the constellation from."
"Pictures, paired with the map..that would look gorgeous," She replied, her words slow. It was clear it wasn't from needing to sleep, but instead from her getting lost in the idea, her stupid smile still huge on her face. "A world tour it is then," She finally said, snapping out of her thoughts and rolling onto her side to face him, "Tokyo, Greece, every where we want to go here, Canada for the northern lights. Anywhere else?"
"Mm, I can't think of anywhere else. But I think we need to fill out a photo-album. Or scrapbook, maybe?" Apollo hummed, randomly pitching out ideas. Of course some of them weren't great, but there was a chance one of them might be good. His imagination was spinning, growing more bubbly and happy the longer they laid there together. This whole thing was wonderful sounding. "Maybe the Netherlands. They Have gorgeous flowers there."
Davina nodded, humming in agreement, "A scrapbook definitely..maybe two, one for each of us. That way we can always remember this trip." She smiled, reaching over and poking Apollo lightly in the shoulder, "Should we tour all of Europe? I'm sure we'll have the time, we'll have all the time in the world once we get out of this hospital." Even though all she wanted to do was sit and talk about everything they wanted to do, she found herself yawning, though smiled right after. She didn't feel tired, but her body was clearly protesting the lack of naps and crappy sleep she had gotten in the past few days.
"Oh, yeah that seems fair. We'll have to keep our eyes out for random souvenirs to add in." Apollo chirped, giving her a little smile. He started playing with his hair, listening to her as she continued talking, laughing a little when she poked him. The little touch sent butterflies through his stomach, and a soft red to his cheeks. "I think we should, while we're there. It seems silly to skip any place if we have the option to go." He hummed a little, yawning when she did. He was tired, unlike her, but was too happy to want to take a nap.
It was easy to see the flush that came to Apollo's cheeks when she poked his shoulder, and so, even as she smiled playfully and replied, she poked him again gently in the shoulder, "That's very true. Anything we can stick in a scrapbook, we need to look out for. If we even have time to while exploring an entire continent." Davina's smile grew and she leaned on her arm, once again yawing, "That reminds me, we should figure out how long we're going to be traveling for? Both here and over there."
(Sorry for the name change. The old title wasn't vibing with me anymore :P)
"Hey," Apollo huffed when she poked him again. He pouted slightly, scooting away some so she couldn't do it again. Not that he minded it much, but at the same time, he didn't like feeling so buzzy around her. "Anyways, um… yeah. Scrapbook stuff. If we can find it, we'll buy things to put in them." He mumbled, thinking back to her last question. Slowly he thought about it, eyes flicking over to her. "I mean, do we need a time? If we really get to do this, couldn't we just decide when we want to go back home?"
(All cool, I like it!!)
"I don't think a time is necessary, but I might just end up falling in love with the countries if we stay too long and I won't want to come back," Davina said, only joking slightly. She really didn't want a specific amount of time to visit so many places, but seeing if Apollo wanted one hadn't seemed like a bad idea when she asked the question. Once again she yawned as she finished talking, this time leaning on her side and resting her head on her arm.
(Ahh, I'm glad!)
Apollo smiled at the older female, yawning a little when she did. The whole conversation was relaxing. The general 'vibe', so you could say, was very calming. It definitely contributed to his sudden tiredness. But he was able to keep awake as he studied her face, the little bit of a fluttery feeling coming back on as he smiled. "Then maybe we can stay. We can always wait and see what happens. Occasionally come back home to visit friends and family. Maybe on some holidays."
