February is the season of love as June is such for flowers

Tree adventure

Scott had never been one to connect with nature. He wasn't one to climb trees, sit around a campfire or spend a night under the stars. Yet he couldn't help but wish he had. Whilst he was still a boy with the weight of the world not looming on his shoulders. 

He regretted refusing the times friends would suggest a weekend in the wild, not taking the opportunity to sleep under cosmic lights and tell hushed stories of horror or humour. He had never done it though. Thinking it a foolish exercise to live out in the cold and unknown when he had a perfectly comfortable bed in his home.

So when his husband thought it was a good idea to do just that when he told Jimmy the fact, he jumped at the opportunity.

And what a couple days it turned out to be.

They swung on the vines, had races with their elytra through the canopy's, lit a fire that burnt red and gold as they toasted marshmallows for smores. They watched as the moon rose and danced with the stars. They slept, cuddled and at peace, under the watchful; peaceful night sky.

And it was as if he was in heaven, living a life he had only dreamed of years ago.
