Date one: High Off Of Sugar

   Gilbert arrived right on time, six thirty p.m. He knocked on Lovino's front door and greeted the grumpy Italian with open arms and a smug smile. In return he got a half - hearted hug and a raised eyebrow.

    "Where are we going?" Lovino asked as he sat in the passengers side of Gil's car.

    "You'll see." Was Gil's only reply.

  The rest of the car ride was quiet...minus rock music playing on the radio.  Luckily Gil had enough common sense to turn the volume down really low. (turn down for what?) After a few minutes and a couple of red lights,  Gilbert parked his car in front of a small store.

   "Vait right here." He told Lovino.

  Quickly Gil opened the door and disappeared into the store leaving Lovino by himself. Staring out the car window Lovino watched a couple of children playing at a small playground next to the store. He knew them as Lilli, Raivis, and Peter, even though he wasn't sure if you could still count Raivis as a child. He waved at the three.

   When he returned his gaze to the front of the store, Gilbert had reappeared carrying a small bag. He climbed back into the car next to Lovino and handed the bag to him. Slowly, Gil backed the car up and drove out of the parking lot. Lovino looked in the bag and found a crap load of candies and alcohol from Germany, France, and Italy. The alcohol was beers and wine, the bottles were small and could easily fit in Lovino's hand.

    The first bottle he pulled out said 'Domaine De Canton: French Ginger Liqueur'. He then pulled out a small bottle of chianti,  the only thing missing would be the bottles straw covering but that didn't matter. Suddenly Gilbert came to a stop and put the car in park. Lovino looked up and through the car window he could see many people dancing and picnicking.

   "Where are we?" Lovino asked.

   "My favorite place to be when there's a festival." Gil replied as he hopped out and ran to open the door for Lovino. He waited for Lovi to step out and he closed the door, taking Lovino by the hand and leading him through the crowd. They passed many strangers and many friends but Gil didn't stop till they were all the way at the other side of the festival.  There were fewer lights and less noise, but you could clearly hear the music. In between two large oaks sat a lone bench. Gil sat Lovino down and then sat beside him.

He took the bag from Lovi and opened a chianti for Lovino and a beer for himself. After a lot of candy and a couple or eight bottles later they were laughing and leaning on each other.

  After a while 'Hearts and Flowers' started playing. Lovino stood and grabbed Gil's hand, pulling him up. Lazily he put his arms around Gil's neck and moved back and forth to the beat of the song. Surprised, Gil followed along and put his arms around Lovino's waist.

   The music wasn't too fast or too slow,  just right for the moment. The sky had grown dark and half the people who had been there when they arrived were gone.                   The song changed and they let go of each other to walk hand in hand to a concession stand. Gil of course paid and Lovino and he both walked away with ice cream, vanilla for Gil and mint chocolate chip for Lovi. They sat back down on their little bench and watched the people.

   The next morning Gil woke up in his own bed. He hadn't remembered how he even got there. Gilbert was about to rub his eyes when he saw that his arms were currently busy holding the small Italian resting his head on his chest. The small sleeping italian. The small naked sleeping Italian. In his bed. Boy did Gil want to remember what happened the night before.
