[open log] meteor shower

[solarock.livejournal.com]

Who: Anyone!
What: Meteor shower time! SO INTENSE
Where: Anywhere you choose~
When: futuredated, Thursday, August 12th. Any time that's dark is good for seeing stars, 8 or later; it goes in to the early morning of the 13th, too.

Just as promised, tonight was going to be a night full of shooting stars.



From anywhere in Final Destination City, these beautiful streaks of light can be seen dashing across the sky. Why not use the night to take your date out and watch the stars together? Perhaps a new relationship could form. Or break. Maybe a wish could come true. The sky was simply stunning, and the weather allowed for a comfortable atmosphere. It's a nice night to go out and watch the night sky.

[[OOC: Go ahead and make your own character threads! Mark them with a time so people don't throw babies into 4 o'clock threads if they shouldn't be there. That'd be awesome. Go nuts. If you need some more information, I based it off of the Perseid meteor shower, so hopefully that could help you out.]]

Nah. Raikov wasn't much of a tacklehug person. He gently closed the box and set it down beside him, smiling. "It's beautiful. Thank you..."

And instead of that tacklehug, he gave Giovanni a kiss on the cheek.

sdfghj You broke his brain a little. Bah...

"...You're welcome, fratello." He had turned a rather brilliant shade, though it might not have been apparent because of the lack of light. Great, more confusion. Oh well, at least the conversation and mood were successfully salvaged. "It's not much, in comparison for your assistance, but..."

"I beg to differ. It must have cost a lot.." He said, opening the case to look at it again. "Real jewels, aren't they..?"

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

There might have been a slightly offended look on his face if he had thought Raikov was suggesting they weren't. Thankfully for the Russian, he wasn't. He smiled, "Sapphires and diamonds. The metal's also plated to resist tarnishing. But I am glad you like it."

"And you bought this... just for me? I'm almost afraid to wear it."

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

"Considering those stones are 9's and 10's on the Mo..." he stopped before he could fall into technical jargon, "Considering they're some of the hardest out there, they won't be compromised easily, if that's what you're worried about." He smiled, "The clasp and connectors are strong too." Yes, he actually tested all those before he bought it. He buys quality, not just pretty stuff.

"Oh, you are too good to me..." Was that a slight blush.

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

"It's nothing," he shrugged, "Just thanks for that and your friendship." Nice presents weren't unheard of in Italian culture, after all, and he had elegant tastes. And in true Italian fashion, Raikov got a firm 'man hug' -an arm around the shoulder-, and a squeeze of familial affection.

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

Raikov was feeling... rather affectionate, especially after having received that gift. His hug was more on the feminine side, a light embrace. It was a good way to breathe in his scent too.

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

Giovanni just smiled, not realizing the man was taking the opportunity to take in his scent. He kept the arm wrapped around Raikov, firm enough that it wouldn't leave a question as to the level of the fondness.
He saw Mac as a brother as well, true, but...he was very careful around the other Italian due to Mac's being a bit more sensitive about things. He didn't have to watch himself so closely with Ivan. He would have to keep his head about him with this 'lover' thing, and with his humour, though.

He let out a content sigh and slowly pulled back. Things were really starting to look up - and hopefully it would stay that way. He was beginning to feel tired again now that he was relaxed. "Mn.. You wouldn't happen to have the time, would you?"

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

"Hm? Yes..." He reached into his jacket again -how many pockets were in that thing?- and pulled out a silver pocket watch, engraved filigree shining in what light there was, and small flashlight. Removing the arm from around Raikov, he opened it and used the flashlight to check it, "Oh, 4:48 am...I didn't realize it was so late..." The light reflected off the mother-of-pearl inset, and if Raikov paid attention, he'd see there was some sort of picture in the top half, though the beam wasn't large enough to show it like this, pointed towards the bottom half of the watch. He could probably see the bottom of it, though.

"I should probably head back before Yevgeny wakes up and wonders where the hell I am.." He sighed, not really paying attention to the pocket watch. "Thank you again for the gift, Giovanni..."

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

"Heh, probably. I should be head back, as well." He nodded, "You're quite welcome. I'm glad you like it." He gave Raikov a quick second squeeze, "If you ever need anything, even just to get something off your chest, don't hesitate to call me." He carefully picked Silver up, wrapping his jacket around the boy to keep him warm. A meteor streaked across the sky overhead. "What a lovely evening it's been."

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

Mmm, a second time to pretend that hug was non-brotherly again. "Of course. Good night."

Raikov closed his sketch book and stood up, looking up at the sky once more before heading back inside the complex. Time to go back to the sleeping bear.

"Good night...and thanks." And he wasn't far behind.
