First Responder's Memorial Day Barbecue - Fire Station and Selkie Lake, Monday

The firehouse was all ready for guests, cleaned as much as humanly possible and organized within an inch of its life. Which meant it was time for people to come in and mess all that up.

But, you know. Lovingly.

And just across the way at Selkie Lake, the food and the general mingling place was all set up for people. Because it was time for the First Responder's Memorial Day Barbecue!

That was all right. It wasn't as though Llewellyn's comment was inaccurate. "I don't mind walking home with you. I like having you by my side."

"One of my very favourite places to be," Watts grinned back at him.

Steven bumped their shoulders together. "Perhaps arm in arm, if you're up for it?"

"I think I could manage that," Watts replied.

"And if you change your mind it's all right," Steven told him, giving him a gentle smile. Softer, he added, "Have as much sugar in your tea as you like. Even if it's different from yesterday."

The reminder of their discussion the other day had Watts's smile changing slightly, becoming something softer. "You are wonderful, you know."

"Thank you," Steven said, smiling back to show he knew he was demonstrating having learned something the same as Llewellyn was in the process of doing.

Watts reached up to cup Steven's cheek briefly, thumb brushing across his cheekbone. His expression clear as his hand pulled away that it was a promise of sorts for later.

Steven leaned into the touch, with a warm look of his own that made it clear he was promising a few things of his own.

Watts sighed. "I should stay to participate in the tug-of-war," he reminded himself.

It would be terribly rude not to, all things considered. He knew that.

"All the more reason to need that shower later," Steven said. With a look that implied watching Llewellyn drop a few layers and use his muscles publicly would also give Steven even more reason to want to help Llewellyn in said shower.
